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.

    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
    • Cracked deck  And other cam snap stuff
