Hey guys! We've got a new cruise destination suggestion (thanks to darren :D )...

Start at about 8:30/9pm at Thornleigh Maccacs...up through galston gorge to wisemans ferrys and across the back way to gosford...then back to syd via the highway...

What do you guys think? It means an earlier start and a longer cruise, but a few people have wanted a change...plus i heard the last time you guys did this it was a good cruise...

so lets hear your comments :)

I recommend everyone have a full take before starting off, otherwise people may get grumpy if they hear the call "i need fuel" just after wisemans ferry.

GREAT piece of advise Mark :D

lets make sure every listens to it :uh-huh:

A message from our friendly cruise organiser Moanie :D

CHANGE OF PLANS!!!

Meet is now 8:30 at Thornleigh Macca's for a cruise through Galston Gorge and onto Gosford. This is a great drive for those who wish to go for a spirited drive and also a leisurely cruise.

PLEASE make sure you come with a full tank of fuel BEFORE arriving at Thornleigh.

Geeze I couldn't keep up last time we went and I was going full tilt (I thought). What are we going to do at Gosford when we arrive? Watch a car load of girls do 16 laps around the block like last time or is their a decent beach or something? Its a pretty long drive too.

Bring your chequered flag with you this time to indicate who win the race around the block

Hey ash! Guess what, I have had a boost leak since March, got it sorted out on sunday. I got an extra 20rwkw now..

Dunno if I am going on friday but you better throw a box of mars bars into the boot cos your 0wn3d.

I think I hear an echo... oh it's tosh :P

What's the ETA like on getting back to syd? Last time it was pretty late, I'm not sure if I'm up for the whole thing will wait and see.

is this the one that goes thru the old pacific hwy?if yes, it's a pretty long drive, last time i've been there my frd's veilside widebody supra had an accident, cost him 4k to repair!!!

i might come depends on the weather, i'll try to get my frd's "S15 GT" to come too..

SUPPRA, PM PranK, Meggala or 2rismo and they'll be able to do it for you :rofl: and no this isnt the old pacific highway.

Jimbo, you going to be on time this time mate?? :(

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
