!!!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.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.

    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
