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 ;)

Oh hi Gemma, its Augus here!
Bahahabahaha, you'd be pleased to know that my brain shut down just continued for the day. took wrong exit off F1 ooppss:) then proceeded to call mt boyf and friends all different sorts of names all night.

Ummmm, sun stroke???

Awesome day... great fun i only just got back to Wagga then :( long f'n drive... but ill do it again next time.

i cant believe you came up from wagga for a cruise!! Its a struggle for me to get down there to see the family:)

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:)

lol, im like nuh its albert.. so augus ahaha, yeah must of been, i was craving for beers at the time :(

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.

great cruise everyone was a blast.

nice to meet so many ppl and Terry thanks for the kind words, my car will definately be at the SNS, not quite sure on my condition though as its the day after my Xmas party

was an even better drive home though, had a great time on the freeway !!!

Gemma I was wondering why you were taking that exit lol

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.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
