Bring on the pics!

Tremendous to see a good complement of R32s + R33s + R34s. I've not seen parity like this before.

More importantly...

The people! Gemma invites some really nice people. Enthusiasts - all!

The route...

Macquarie Pass is always a bit testy - even more so with wet leaves, wet tarmac, or trucks coming downhill negotiating left handers

Additional route...

Jamberoo Pass deserves respect - narrow bits, crumbling corners, sagging shoulders - but massive fun when the road is clear ahead

The future...

SAU is already organising several events this year - yes cruises too - to places we've not been to before.

Great drive today guys! This was my first "official" cruise too (and this is especially bad considering I've had the car nearly 6 years.. - look at my join date!!). I was the guy who brought the charcoal stocker :) Getting it buffed and detailed next weekend so should look substantially better next time!

Really enjoyed the twisties, especially down Jamberoo Rd. Macquarie Pass was very slow as we were stuck behind a bus though :(

Also good to actually meet some of the people from the forums too.

Will definitely come on another one! Just seen the Putty Rd cruise - might give that one a go but it's pretty long... probably won't have any tyres left after that...

Thanks for organising Gemma! Hope we can do another one soon!

yep :)

there was like 4 sets of people.... was hilarious. just when i thought i'd seen the last of the skylines, OH THERES MORE

was an awesome wedding though, the ceremony was the shortest i've been to; was no religion, just "this is what a marriage is defined as, so let's get to it"

winner

awesome reception too and jen caught the bouquet and i caught the garter :/

Thanks for organising a very enjoyable cruise Gemma. Perfect weather and a great drive.

Good to catch up again Terry, and to meet a lot of great folks. Bring on the next cruise! :thumbsup:

Now that Paul & I are friends, we can swap wings, right? :P

Matt has some pics coming up soon, when there's enough time - and thanks Al.

And Owen, you saw me in the lead eh?

Going up Mt Keira was also a good add-on - even though I was detained at first; 'er lost. >_<

Don't lie. You were just left behind :nyaanyaa:

Good cruise as always with the exception of some we need to bring back the palm beach cruise in summer how did you like the knight rider light Terry....

I'm so tempted to bring out my rifle and shoot out those moving lights one-by-one. That's my skill! :rolleyes:

is dat sum LM-GT4 i see?

Bronze LMGT4s on a Shiny Pearl Black body > Mean.... > Very Mean :thumbsup:

Awesome photos, Matt! There are quite a few in there you should put in the July photo thread.

Nick - thanks for the feedback mate. :thumbsup:

Oh I meant on the Bayside Blue 34 :) White on blue, yummmmm :)

Can't remember if the GT4's used decals, or embossed like the GT3s for the "nismo"...

Yep - decals. Moelders' GT-R is a rare sight and looked great on the day. The blue and white is a great combo.

Steve's GT-R from Steve's Auto Barn in the Blue Mountains has a similar look:

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
