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 :yes:

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

Hey Dave I can hear me behind you once towards the end of that vid.......MORE FOOTAGE.......MORE FOOTAGE NOW :blush:

amazing turnout...this was the first 1/3 of the cruise filling the carpark at the halfway house....

then we had to scramble when the 2nd 1/3 of the cruise arrived...

When the first half of the second 1/3 of the cruise turned up... :P

A few people decided they'd pull up around 2KM before hand to ah... Water the trees... :P

Group 2 then got swamped by group 3 also... :P

All in all guys it was an awesome day without incident with a great turnout of cars!! Great to meet some new people and catch up with the usual suspects... and to have a good laugh at lunch thanks to Ed and Sheng as well as the infamous garlic bread incident!!!!!!!

Yeah, I just got home. Great cruise it was nice to see so many skylines out'n 'bout.

Now, I've got heaps of video to sort through.

I can't wait to see the footage as the camera fell away.... I did a massive evade manouvre as I didn't want to run over it!! In hindsight I think the damage was done when it hit the ground but in my mind it went like this "damn camera fell off, must not drive over and break it " ... lol

Great cruise.

Bloody hot, got a mad truckies arm lol

Just made it to Rozelle servo, 475km trip and used 80L :) 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,

the missus loved the March, now she wants one lol

80L!?!! Damn!! I used 55L all up for 500 odd km's so I am pretty happy with that fuel consumption :P ... we went back via broke... Wollombi pub :P .. wisemans/kulnura then a quick trip down Bumblebee Rd (Kulnura to Yarramalong) .... to Tink's house... couldn't be bothered doing old pac home by that stage and slowly headed back on the F3...

+1 for an awesome day.

My pasty right arm is now red also!

Really good day though, the cruise back through wine country with cassbo etc was epic!

We were sitting at Wollombi pub as you guys went past... thought you guys would stop after seeing the lines parked on the side of the road :P ... guessing you guys jumped on old pac at peats ridge to head back to Sydney??

Pretty much :P

I think I suggested we stop, but unfortunately the lead car didn't have a CB so we kept on going :P

I had a blast yesterday, as per usual! Thanks to all in my group (group 2), who I believe all behaved themselves behind me (according to Matt aka MBS206, there were no problems with silly behaviour).

To the dude that came and asked me for an SAU cap during lunch, I went looking for you after I'd had my feed but couldn't find you. Could you please send me a PM and I will arrange to get one to you somehow.

at the risk of sounding like an old fart, i'm incredibly impressed with how everyone drove the cruise.

putty road was made for skylines and super turbos (ok maybe the twisty bits not so much made for teh poor old neesan marches :( ) but I think everyone managed to have a spirited but safe drive up to lunch.

so big thanks to all who participated for setting another good example of how SAU NSW encourages responsible but fun driving.

and a VERY big thanks to Sam for making Putty happen once again.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
