in the city. pitt st and park near that maccas and opp galeries victoria. im in there a lot, have a hand held one already but its shite so considering an upgrade for the cruise.

are these prices good?

Eric I'm starting to think you are on crack with the organisations of this "cruise"

It's 6 hours from Syd to Wang and another 45mins from Wang to Shep. Now I do this drive quite regularly quite a few times a year.

I think you have your times out. The times between Phesants and Yass are out and the times between Albury and Shep are out.

There is no way in hell I'm going to be meeting at Phesants at 6.30 am that would mean I would have to be leaving my house at 5 am and be up at 4am!

Beau and I normally leave by about 10am when we drive down and normally end up at Wang at about 4pm this is allowing 2 stops including a lunch break and petrol.

+ your 45mins to get to Shep which would mean more sleep in time.

P.s

Castle hill to Phesants 1.5hrs

Phesants nest to Yass 205kms 1.8hrs

Yass to Albury 281kms 2.5hrs

Albury to Shep 175kms 1.6hrs

Being more realistic about the situation it is a long drive. calculating in stops and people f**king about I would say it would be more realistic for everyone to meet at Phesants at 8.30 for a 9am departure. That should get you in Shep at around 4 -4.30pm

well i'm relying on google which can be hit and miss. Also had to pin the petrol stations from the sat view. I think the times got farked. I havent done this pass so relying on that info. I need to recheck all the legs again.

as for starting time, much later for me (and others) and you're into commuter traffic that's unpredictable.

Well considering Beau and I pretty much do this run quite frequent we pretty much know the distances and times. The only traffic you are going to get getting on to the M4/M7/ whatever way you are heading to get to Phesants and getting in to Albury. Best place to stop would be BP at Glenrowan because its on freeway = no traffic. The rest is free way so you don't hit any traffic. Going away from the city.

yeah i go to bed so late there would be no point sleeping if we made it half six..any chance u could creep it 30 min to an hour or so later Eric?

on behalf of all the insomniacs on SAU...please...

Corinne that's pretty much what I said in the NSW thread about this (about meeting so early) but no one cared! lol :laugh:

I care Shell, Sorry I missed the post. :wub: I just think this plan is overenthusiastic. It would require most people to be up at 4am to get there on time.

4 am is a bit of an exaggeration. Doesn't take 2.5 hrs to get there unless you live somewhere up the central coast or beyond. But I get what ya mean. I'd have to be on the road by 5:30.

Can someone check this? I've re-done the google map fail thingo - I think it was a quirk that google will make you back-track sometimes if your stops get out of order. GOOGLE MAP

Maybe we poll folks about start time. Steve-O, Paul and Brett were pretty keenolio for the early start. I'm ok as long as we don't go beyond 8 am as I'll have traffic problems.

Oh, and my thought on those petrol stations on the way to Yass is that if you need petrol or to pee just stop and rejoin the group in Yass. No need to stop the whole group.

1.5hrs from castle hill to phesants but it would still take most people an hour to stuff around at get shit organise before they have to leave the house.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
