"The GT-R had been conceived with one goal in mind: to win in Group A motor racing and put Nissan at the top of the pile occupied by race cars like the Ford Sierra RS500 Cosworth, BMW M3, and the big Aussie bruiser, the Holden Commodore…" [Andy Butler]

This is an official SAU event, to commemorate the 21st birthday of the R32 Skyline GT-R, with all SAUers welcome. Starting at Tench Reserve on the Nepean River, we will drive through the Blue Mountains National Park via Richmond, Bell, and Mount Victoria, ending up at the Edge Cinemas at Katoomba, where we have arranged a special, private screening of the highlights of the 1992 Tooheys Bathurst 1000, an unforgettable race which helped cement the R32 GT-R in Australian motorsport history.

Event Date: Sunday, 10th October, 2010 (10/10/10); 9.00 AM

Please note this event will go ahead rain or shine.

Cost: Cinema tickets are $15.00 per person, first come; first served. Maximum 10 tickets per person. Limit of 365 tickets available. If all tickets are sold out, you are more than welcome to join us for the cruise from Penrith to Katoomba via Bell.

Your $15 ticket includes cinema admission and a $1.50 donation to the Children's Hospital @ Westmead.

Driving Details:

Under SAU guidelines, it is absolutely essential that all drivers observe the road rules.

Here is the route map:

9.00 am: Meet at Tench Avenue / Tench Reserve car park (near The Coffee Club), at Penrith. Easiest access is via the M4; take Mulgoa Rd exit, then turn left onto Jamison Rd heading towards the Nepean River.

Try and come early and have brekky @ The Coffee Club, which opens at 7.00 am.

All other cars (e.g. R34s, R35s etc) in group 3.

Approx 12.00 pm onwards:

Entrance to the cinema is via a special off-ramp from the Great Western Highway (fine for cars with low ground clearance)

R32s will park in the upper car park directly opposite cinema entry doors.

R33s will park in remaining upper level spaces

R34s and other cars will park in the lower level (undercover) car park.

While you wait for the others to arrive, and before the session begins:

Our sponsors for the day, Just Jap of Kirawee will have plenty of goodies on display at their stall and Top Secret Imports of Blacktown will also be present with their car display.

A professional photographer from Performance Imports, and a camerman from Motive DVD will be covering the event. Look out for a feature in their upcoming magazines and DVDs.

SAU merchandise will be available too, e.g. caps, T-shirts, pit shirts, lanyards etc.

If enough people are interested, a hot/cold buffet can be arranged at The Edge. Otherwise light snacks are available.

1.30 pm SHARP:

Film begins: A special GT-R feature produced by Motive DVD, followed by the main attraction; highlights of the 1992 Tooheys Bathurst 1000.

Approximate length of entire feature: 2 ¼ hours

3.45 pm (approx):

Event ends. Exit to the cinema complex is via Civic Pl, which leads to the Great Western Highway (cannot exit the way we came in).

Payment:

Please send an email to [email protected] with your name, VISA or MasterCard details (card number, expiry and name on card), a contact number, and a delivery address for your allocated tickets and receipt to be posted via mail. Credit card details will be manually processed with safety. Tickets are transferable but not refundable. Bring your tickets for admission and door prizes! Tickets cannot be issued prior to payment being received. Tickets are on sale as of Saturday the 12th of June.

Other Notes:

If you want anything brought up from Just Jap or Top Secret Imports, call them beforehand and they will try to oblige. Say hello to our sponsors as they've donated more than $1,000 to the Children's Hospital already as sponsors of this 21st birthday of the R32 GT-R.

Special thanks go to Chevron / Channel Seven for their permission to publicly screen the highlights of the '92 Bathurst 1000, and to Motive DVD for permission to screen our special feature.

If you're not already a member of SAU, speak to one of our organisers who can help sign you up on the day.

We organisers from SAU look forward to seeing you there. And so too our sponsors.

^^^ We had interstate SAUers come along to the 10th ANNIV of the R34 GT-R last year (that we organised too).

Besides, we felt that it was an insult to not invite everybody.

It's a party ;) and SAUers, get first bite - as they should!

Terry Ashwood - from Grp A fame, and current owner of previous Fred Gibson R32 GT-Rs has been willing to sign Award Certificates;

just as Mark Skaife signed the ones last year re: R34s. As you probably know, M.S. is a Victorian.

Well here's one Victorian who will be there and in the thick of things since I've moved here and brought my own R32 GTR. Have done the run and it is better than any that I've tried at Dandy Mt or whatever. The GOR is however one of the best cruise due to the sight of the sea and coast. This one though is like one huge backroads of chicanes, twists and nurburgring-type passes and humps! Tougher than GOR (if you go harder) and more rewarding IMO. You need to stay awake!

Its in October and the weather is better. Plenty of time to think about it and consider several other things you could do in Sydney as well. We're getting a few people from S.A. which is awesome and we'll do our best to show our hospitality. I think if there's enough Vics coming we may even do the Sydney harbour run, or bondi beach, or cronulla, or taronga zoo or... :thumbsup:

We're really looking forward to having you here as well as the guys from ACT, QLD & SA (who are already "IN" & paid for cinema tix) :P

"GTRKat" from ACT has details of the place to stay in Penrith that has a "secured compound" for your cars. Car wash facility too.

It has now been announced by one of the organisers that "Prizes" will be awarded for R32 categories.

Another organiser will soon announce the availability to professionally photoshoot your car on the day. If you're interested, please have your thumb on the NSW Events section and book your 15min slot.

Hey guys,

Here are the pictures of "The Edge" itself (see attachments). After going through the route of the cruise, this is the kind of comfort and style I look forward to after a long and hard drive :-) And you can bet I'll be pigging out at the kiosk lol

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k.

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock.

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
