In the tradition of all cruises.... please post wrap up stuff here.

Thanks very much Dan for going to the trouble of doing the cruise notes. A pity about the weather, but it gave us time to enjoy the scenery.

I felt really sorry for the guy in the S15 before we started the cruise. Didn't actually see it happen cuz I was looking the other way, but saw the aftermath :D

Guess that was a very sobering warning to us all to take it easy, which we surely did with the weather.

Other things of note on the cruise were:

- Muztek showing up to the meetpoint then pissing off :D

- that retarded woman in the compact SUV doing half the speed limit for 30 mins while gawking at trees

- that sneaky cop hidden away behind some bushes on a side street

- Hamish's front bar

- the massive fog

- The gold-award winning Pepper Steak Pies at Gaffney's bakery in Yea

- Perfect SAU hoodie weather

Was a modest group, but was kinda good in that way, as no-one got lost or left behind.

Sorry Dan, just realised it should probably be you starting this thread. :P

It rained a bit. Roads never really dried out. Then we hit fog on Mt Macedon. No-one was taking the corners at any decent speed cuz it was slippery.

I had fun today so did Peter.

Pity about the S15...

The weather is the usual Melbourne '4 seasons a day' the fog up in Mt Macedon is unbelievable!

I may have broken something on my GTR - I'm beginning to think cruises isn't for me!

And many thanks to Dan for organising today cruise and route map.

Cheers

Grant

Was a good cruise although the weather was a bit crappy for most of it but we did have some good reasonably dry parts. Some of those roads are car breaking suspension flexing HELL!!!! My ass is killing me from some of them! The pies in Yea might have been award winning but the fricken donuts from that food shop were teh aidz!! I felt like i'd just sucked down a doughy sponge full of oil and coated in sugar mmmm yummy :D

I have 3.1GB of windscreen mounted video from Maccas to the Mountain if anyone wants, it's not the greatest quality (640x480) and it has no audio but it's good to see it from another perspective I suppose.

The Fog at the mountain was real bad, could barely see the car 10m in front of you, not even the lights.

I left you guys on the way back (took the Gisborne exit to Melton) so only waved to couple of you but I had a great time.

PS - bugger bout the silvia too, I only saw him turn the corner and then saw the pole shake but yeah, the thing was farked! I loved those rims too!

PPS - Well done Dan, great cruise and great notes. Thanks for putting the effort in.

      Could you have not cut off the OEM flange, weld on a larger flange for DBW?

      Maybe of interest, a little while ago I spoke to one of the guys from Rajab Racing Developments and he hinted to me they could be developing a new cast exhaust manifold. Incidentally, they have already made one for the barra and it looks functional

      So Bathurst coming up so really need to get this new ECU in. I regret going to flex fuel and all the headaches associated with DBW with cruise etc....a miss the simplicity of Power Fc   I make enough power that I should have just gone back to 98 but...anyway Turns out with the std inlet I cant really go any bigger than 60mm DBW so wasnt able to play with that aspect of the update.

      SAUNSW Pizza Run - Talotta's Pizzeria - Saturday 27th July 2024

      By sammi_d · Posted

      We're bringing Pizzas back!! Pizza Runs, to be specific... We had a practice Pizza Run a while ago, and everyone has been screaming for a proper one... So you've asked, and now we're delivering! Since your tastebuds are tingling, feast your eyes on the event details: Date: Saturday 27th July 2024 Meet Location: Parking Lot - 1 Parkview Dr, Sydney Olympic Park Meet Time: Meet at 5.30pm for a 6.00pm departure Destination: Talotta's Pizzeria, 1-3 Bridges St, Kurnell Map: https://tinyurl.com/saunsw-talottas  We'll meet at the carpark on the corner of Parkview Drive and Australia Avenue in Sydney Olympic Park. When we leave the parking lot, we'll head down Australia Ave, and turn right onto Homebush Bay Drive at the large roundabout near DFO. As soon as we turn onto Homebush Bay Drive, we will be turning left onto the M4 to drive through the new M4/M8 tunnel! Everyone loves a bit of RB action through a tunnel.... We'll exit the tunnel at the Gardener's Road exit, and turn onto Princes Highway, where we'll follow it onto Rocky Point Road and then onto Taren Point Road. Once we reach Miranda, we'll turn left onto Captain Cook Dr, where we'll continue on straight until we reach Talotta's Pizzeria for some pizza goodness!!! There is a small carpark at the destination. Limited spaces are available, but there will be plenty of street parking in front of Talotta's There will be a lead and follow car so no one should get lost. If you would like to attend or bring others along please put your name down and a +1 as numbers will be needed prior! This is NOT a race and we will all be adhering to all road rules. If this is what you want please come to one of our track days. This is an official SAUNSW event and will be run under a Motorsport Australia permit. One of the things that really sets our club apart is our commitment to being true enthusiasts. When on normal roads we strive to maintain good relations with the authorities as well as the public in general. When attending one of Skylines Australia NSW events please try to: • Be aware of surrounding environment and act accordingly. • Drive courteously on the state’s roads as a true enthusiast should. • Understand how important it is to maintain the good name of SAU:NSW and thus, treat others accordingly. • Any misbehaviour will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave. Thanks guys and hope to see you there!
