Red Nose Cruise Sydney- Sat. 1st July- Silverwater to Wattamolla-Royal National Park

Next Saturday marks the date of our annual Red Nose Cruise, a great fun day for all, and a chance to get out to help a great charity- sids and kids.

This cruise has been successfully run the past two years, turning out 50 odd cars and raising in excess of $1000 each time. We are hoping for a bigger turnout this year. Previously this cruise has attracted media attention from a national car magazine, as well as local newspapers.

This year the cruise will be on Saturday 1 July, and we will be heading from Silverwater to Wattamolla in the Royal National Park. Usually there is an $11 fee to enter the park, however we have negotiated with the National Parks and Wildlife department to allow all cars involved to enter free of charge, maximising the funds going to SIDS.

The good people from Bakers Delight at Richmond have already agreed to provide bread to feed the masses, with Joes Meats at Richmond throwing in the sausages, and Bilo at Narellan have donated the drinks. Affordabel Amusement Hire at North Richmond will be bringing along a fairy floss machine for the kids (and the young at heart!)

Linda and Dan from Skin Fitness Richmond and North Richmond have been kind enough to start us off with $250 donation!

Rachel and Bobby from Starfire in Penrith have also pledged $250.

NOVA 96.9 will also be there on the day

From: Silverwater Boat Ramp

Meet Time: 10:30am

Leave Time: 11:00am

Destination: Wattamolla - Royal National Park

We'll probably have an additional meet up point at Panthers. If anyone wants to suggest other meetup points were open to suggestions. But Silverwater is the official meeting point. I'll post any additional info as soon as I get it.

If you are interested in coming along for a great day let me know. So far there are 40+ cars confirmed as coming. All cars are welcome to join our convoy so please tell all your friends.

A route map will be published in the coming days, and also handed out on the morning of the cruise.

Ill try and get some of mine up asap

MILF and BLO 57N were nuts!!!!

Ditto on meeting you guys.Chris i guess it was better after all that you didnt have the car for the fact that you could take extra piccie's

milf was crazy.I liked monaro the interior,20''wheels and the beefy 25/30det juicyness.

As we were leaving at the end of the day,and were on our way down the exiting road we were greeted with a great big cloud of smoke and fat limo marks.

    • Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
