Thanks you staff for organising this. Drivers' briefing is one of the best I've heard.

The trip back to Windsor was a hoot.

2 cars became 3

3 cars became 5

5 cars became 7

And I don't mind saying that 2 of the drivers with 110years+ between them, kept the convoy 'up to speed' eh Humbla?

We even wriggled around a smash. Was that a wedding car?

There were sooooo many gorgeous cars there too

Tai's R32 must be entered in the SnS

Che's R34 - well what can I say but for the fact that he wouldn't let me eat off it

Dave's R34 in red - what a colour?

Midnight purple R33 - one of the best colours ever made too!

All the great ppl there that made me welcome again & can now put faces to names but the personalities count even more! :yes:

Yeh Terry I think the wedding car was involved.

Well mate with 110+ yrs behind you both you sure did set the standard for most of the way home :D

6.3 Gig of vids and pics to sort through, plus the dvd footage from terrys place...

including the special event.. Aggro chases down Terry :P

Will post up later tonight, first things first.. food and shower!!

Nice to meet all of you and to put faces to names for the others I didnt get a chance to meet.. I think I still won for loudest exhaust :)

It still sucks that I fail on the uphill parts. Must get turbo.. screw P plates

Hahaha,

I saw you all in the distance on the horizon and said to Alex, We have to run home with them! I didnt think I was gonna catch you for a while there especially after you guys overtook the caravan and I ran out of room.

The drive home was awesome people, I had a ball.

Nice to meet you Dave (and after being behind you for a while on the way home yes your exhaust is LOUD) and Terry your 34 is stunning

Thanks also Nick for inviting Alex and myself to the spare seats at your table

Here is a couple of pics but they are a bit crappy.....Except of course the one of my 33, hehe

The Putty Road cruise was a lot of fun as usual - a good chance to catch up with some old friends and to make some new ones.

The trip home was one for the old brigade indeed with me also adding to the numbers to bring it into the 165+ years for the three of us. We also started out by ourselves and then became part of your growing pack.

Clinton and I had a great lunch with good conversation thanks to Terry GT-R34, Humbla, R 2 THE J and Pezhead to name a few.

Thanks again to all for a great day.

Cant wait to see the Pics, had a freakin awesome day, the 32 got a good workout!, and must remember next time to wear sunscreen...

165+ ??? :yes:

Imagine Charles, being pulled over by the policeman who then says,

"I've pulled over antique cars with racy drivers in my time; but I've never pulled over racy cars with antique drivers before!" :blush:

Great conversation at our table with yourselves, Eric, Rudy, Joe, Janelle & Jetta

And elsewhere with David aka Aggroman, Andrew, Aron, Che, Linton & Tai + at the start with Dave, NYTSKY, Jezza, David aka FloydWestwood, Matt aka MBS206

Regards, Terry

Thats all the photos I kept.. most of the way home is just video so if i can shrink/chop the 2gig vid files ill put them on my youtube account and post em up..

Did anyone else get a mad drivers arm?

Great cruise.

Bloody hot, got a mad truckies arm lol

Just made it to Rozelle servo, 475km trip and used 80L :blush: Wouldnt mind a V8 Supercar style drop tank.

Then filled up again and have just got home from another cruise, a total of 13 or so hrs in the car, a new record.

Duncan,

Here ya go, the fun everyone missed on the way home haha.. only decent vid that I can be bothered uploading at 1am lol..

Ignore the stupid chatter between Andy and I.. except the part where I heel toe down 2 gears.. im still proud I did it properly without jabbing the brake in harder :blush:

Vid ends when we start to catch the other cars that left earlier.

    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
    • I can donate $100 to your upgrade fund. So long as you can donate the IC7 my way....
    • I'd love a Haltech ECU, and Haltech 10 dash. Was having a chat with Rob and Andy @ Haltech when Rob put one in his MR2. First one I'm kind of interested in too, as you can dim it RIGHT down. Andy was saying bright dashes is one of his peeves too!
