as for the cruise, great time had by all i think and only a patch of rain on the way home. Thanks for organising it guys, really was the cherry on the cake of a great wknd.

pics up soon but just wanted to say how much fun i had though i wouldnt have minded a few more twisties thrown in there, wish i had gone back via Putty road too but followed my nose onto the Great Western and got stuck in construction zone traffic with everyone else.:closedeyes:

Ah the old wrap up thread,,,how gay.

Hadn't been on a cruise in years and decided to tag along with the Pres,,,just to keep him sane.

Great day indeed,,,nice cars,,,cool people and a great lunch spot.

Cheers and thanks to the organizing peeps,,,,job very well done.

Neil.

Hope that everyone had a blast, was a good day! Thanks for navigating Benm :thumbsup:

Everyone got there in pretty much one piece, and the people I asked said that the food was pretty good.

Highway patrol were policing part of the road then had to go!, and poor Shell found a pothole near the end >_<

Post up them pics!

yeah she was tiny, well done on her for wolfing all that down lol

how did she do the leg in? ski-ing trip or refusing to get in the kitchen?

btw great pies but not worth $9.50 IMHO

apple pie was pretty damn good but again, for 12 bucks i would have wanted something a little larger than i had. i think i have been spoilt by mostly eating from bargain basement asian bakeries in western sydney though lol

no idea why ben looked angry, i was just wandering around snapping pics at random. best way to get those 'natural moments'. You know, cinema verite and shit.

speaking of which, thats exactly what that was under the orange wheels. i got out of there pretty quick when he told me he was going to light up the rears upon leaving..

First cruise with the club; first time out for new RB22 motor (got dropped in on Wednesday night); first time in the Megalong Valley; first drive of a Skyline for 17 year-old son.

All in all a number one day. Thank you to everyone involved - great bunch of people.

Looking forward to the next cruise in Canberra !!!

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
