Pretty much :(

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

Ah that explains it... :( We were like ..hmmm.. rude b@stards :yes:

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.

+ 1 Fankyoooooo Sammmeh ;)

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.

From everyone who I could see (I usually had 10 cars in my sight out of ~16) there was no skids being ripped in corners, nothing stupid at all, and all sitting at/around the speed limit and just having a proper cruise, there was no attempts at racing on over taking lanes or anything (A few people shuffled spots, but that's okay)

Was a great day... And I had an AWESOME view... Really wish I had the camera setup, as the line that we had moving, looked spectacular when we hit the long straight sections!

Oh, and those GTRs... Damn sexy ass ends on them!!!

haha +1 that is committment A+++!

hope we didn't slow up the first group too much, the super march rubs tyres on hard lock so we had to take the "slow in, fast out" line a lot. Hopefully the pace was still OK through the twisties!

Agro....you reckon you had troubles staying ahead up hill...try it with 0.9l next time!

My grandson Jett loved seeing all the liners,not sure bout the cruising though,he slept all the way there and back lol. :(

lol pretty much like Kel (on the way home at least...on the way up she was calling the corners for me :yes:)

It was a great day. The drive was way to long though, my bad killed halfway so i just turned back. The black r32 gtr with the orange wheels was just sex on wheels!!!

by the way, halfway back down putty road i noticed a a black gtr was pulled over and changing his tyre(i think) what happened?

hi to the silver 33 i ended up following all the way into wollongong (sorry if i gave you a scare as i passed that 4wd towing a car on picton road)

I am so frigging glad I didn't bring my skyline!!!

I ended up doing 625 KMs round trip!!!

But awesome day, and meh... The Jazz loved it!

Oh, and Duncan, 6.25L/100KM fuel economy for that WHOLE trip! :(

950km round trip, 2.5 tanks of fuel a little over 1L of oil and lots of fun.

Hi Titan it was me in the silver R33 that you were following.

It seemed as though your car came on boost when you passed the 4WD because you filled my mirrors big time but it was all good. Thanks for the company on the run home to Wollongong from Sydney.

Does anyone know who was driving the GTR with plates AN-81-OW?

MBS206 ^^...Did you mean AN-80-WL?..If so that would be me.

You were behind me in the jazz..i couldnt believe how that kept pretty close to us all. :(

There may have been a little boost. i saw a left lane ends sign and didnt want to be stuck behind it untill the next overtaking lane, what i missed was that there was about 1km of overtaking lane left :(

I'm pretty pleased that the Event wasn't to-day!

The Putty Road is currently closed due to a fatality > RIP

It's happened at the southern end. Wet... wet... wet... Oil residue would be sitting on top of the water too with this downpour.

I only saw good responsible driving on Saturday BTW = good stuff.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
