!!!DEPOSIT $20 IN THE SAU BANK ACCOUNT IF YOU WANT TO EAT AT THE PUB - OTHERWISE MAKE YOUR OWN ARRANGMENTS!!!

Hi All,

It's that time of year again!

Around this time each year we all get up nice and early, trek out to a rural McDonalds for an early morning feed and a chat with some new and old friends; then get ready for a great day out and about with like minded people!

This is one of our annual events and it tends to be one of the most popular; probably because it's pretty cheap which leaves us with more money to spend on the car. Compared to some of our other events, this is probably the most laid back, no 'social drinks' before the cruise, no drag strip, no race track, just a bunch of skylines, some stageas, random Nissans and usually one or two other types of cars cruising together enjoying one of the nicest roads NSW has to offer.

We will cruise from Windsor macca's at 10:30am sharp and SAU NSW Committee members will lead the way and be scattered throughout the pack to ensure people don't get lost and of course to make sure everyone is behaving themselves, as this is a public road. We will TRY and organise some maps as well... just in case…

After the rest we will head to singleton for lunch, where we will spend about 1.5 - 2 hours in singleton.

Note Singleton does have a Shell not far from lunch that does sell 98 ron.

After Lunch it will be up to you as for what you do now. Usually some people decide to head off to sample a few of the local fermented grape juices and perhaps some old mouldy dairy products. Or just head back to Sydney whatever way you want..

SAU NSW has decided to use the Putty Road event as a Charity Cruise, to help raise some money for a local charity, give some thing back to the community and help out those who really need it!!

We voted last year and Cancer Council was the chosen charity to donate too, this year we are choosing the second place option, which was the RSPCA.

EVENT DETAILS

Date: 24/10/09

Meeting place: Windsor Maccas, corner of Groves ave and Windsor road, McGraths Hill (Why do they call it Winsdor Maccas?). Right next to Winford Motors with the big Wizard out the front.

Meeting time: 9:30 for Breaky and a 10:30am SHARP departure.

Cruise Route: PUTTY ROAD BABY!

Destination: Imperial Hotel, Singleton. (lunch stop) Corner of John St and Elizabeth St

Parking: there is parking at the pub and on surrounding streets

Time Frame: Allow all day.

Cost: Members = $5 per car & Gold Coin Donation per passenger (or more if you like), Non members = $10 per car + gold coin donation from passengers.

Please note that CAMS require that we have a fee paid by non-members. This also then means that you can be covered by CAMS Public liability for the duration of the event. But you will have to abide by the rules and regs for the day. These will be available on the day or earlier by PM me or any of the Executive Committee.

Meeting Point!

Meeting in the carpark with the circle and tick. This is an old photo, so for those that dont know the area there is now a KFC here as well.

    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
