I am after peoples feedback about having a joint ACT/NSW cruise.

Idea : both sydney and canberra people meet at exeter on the hume highway (about 1/2 way between sydney and canberra) and then cruise through kangaroo valley down to the shoalhaven river at nowra.

i think it is a good way to get sydney and canberra people together, and a good drive as well.

Any thoughts?

other car clubs have done this with great success.

cheers, mark

Sounds like a good idea.

There was a Canberra/Sydney cruise about 12-18 months ago, went through Kangaroo Valley and stopped at a dam somewhere.

And that was a big sucess :P A very good day. I think there was about 40 or so cars !!

It's all in the planning. Plan times, route, meeting places, desination, and a fail safe just incase a few people get lost :P

Yeah Yeah - Good save mate ;)

That's what I mean't :(

He He -

I wouldn't have wanted you to go to work this coming monday, next week........... ha ha ha ha

But sounds like you got all under control buddy !

Cheers,

:D

yeah mark, the cruise I organised a while back went from the Shell servo on the Hume Highway, along the Illawarra Highway, thru Moss Vale, Fitzroy Falls etc, then to Kangaroo Valley. We stopped at Tallowa Dam (just after the bridge in Kangaroo Valley) for a BBQ.

It was a great day, I'd be very keen to do something similar again.

Sounds like a great idea... but I doubt if I'll be able to make the long weekend in October.

Doesn't have to be a long weekend... lots of people go away on them... just ask ndr!!!

Also remember that there is a SAU show and shine day in October which could make for a busy month!

Just some thoughts,

Dan.

Can we not goto Kangaroo Valley again please? At least not along that dirt road to the dam, because my front bar got completely destroyed by stonechips after driving on that road :P

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
