Sau Act Cruise To The Nationals


Recommended Posts

In case some of you have been living under a rock :P the SAU Nats are being held in Victoria on the 28th-30th October.

On the Friday, the NSW guys are leaving Sydney bright and early and we're going to meet up with them at the big service centre near Yass to do the road trip.

This is just a call out to anyone who perhaps didn't know about it, or was thinking of coming, to feel free to join us!

Me, Tats, Pat (and Nic), Richard (& son), and Robert are all confirmed and heading from the ACT. There is quite a lot of Sydney guys, so it should be an awesome convoy down the highway!

I have copied and pasted some details from Eric's thread below. Link to whole thread: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/376794-sau-nationals-road-trip-super-cruise/

SAU Nationals Road Trip

This is just an unoffical SAU cruise where we can enjoy the trip together and make a long trip much more enjoyable. The whole trip takes about 8 hours without stops so we will need to meet up early and leave strictly on time.

I've given about 15 minutes of buffer for each of the stops. The idea is that if you REALLY want a certain type of fuel or have to pee, then stop and meet us at the next location. As long as you are quick and don't dilly dally you should be fine. We have two longer breaks - for meeting up in Yass and then a quick lunch & Pit stop in Albury.

What to bring:

Be sure to be prepared for a solid 8 hours of driving. Have brekkie before we meet up and have your sunscreen on - nothing worse than truck driver tan!

If you have a CB bring it along so we can chat along the way.

THE PLAN:

Sydney Meeting Point:

Starting Location: Pheasants Nest Mobile

Starting Time: Meet up @ 6:30 for a 7 AM SHARP! departure.

We WILL leave right at 7 am so don't miss the bus.

Remember we are on a strict schedule to meet up with the Canberra people at meeting point #2.

Canberra Convoy Catch-up:

Starting Location: Caltex Truck Stop @ Yass off Hume Hwy

Meet up Time: Meet up @ 10:15 AM for a 10:45 departure.

Fast Fuel & Lunch stop in Albury:

Arrival Time in Albury: 1:45

Activity: Fuel stop of choice and grab fast food lunch

Meeting Point: Aquatic Centre

Departure time: 2:30 SHARP! Don't be tardy!

Arrival in Shepparton: 4:40 pm

Now check into your hotel, have a quick tidy up and meet up for the pre-SAU Nats festivities!

For those of you wanting to actually enter the event, SAU NSW have 10 "allocated" spots for the Winton trackday and I believe only 3 spots are taken. If you are keen, get in now, because the VIC guys have filled their spots and have a list of reserves who will be allocated our spots if we haven't filled them!

I have entered the Show and Shine... there is no real drama about missing out on a spot there however :thumbsup:

It's gonna be awesome!!! I'm looking forward to the cruise down there. The NSW lads have a few things planned like a nice cruise video.

I'm not entering anything as of yet. def not the track day as it'll be my first and more importantly my car's first, i wouldn't want to have it f**k out so far away...

Me and Nic are heading off to melbourne on the monday so we won't be convoying back with everyone.

Haha it's Shepparton, there's probably somewhere you could set up your swag :laugh:

We're all over town... Tirana is the main one (where we always stay for DECA) but it's full... some of us are staying at the Quest, and the Central Shepp Apartments.

Keen for a bit of a cruise and "reintegration" into the SAU society haha - hopefully have the GTR back by then, although she is looking a bit worse for wear in the body department :(

Where are you staying Richard? If we can get the same place we can booze on till early hours of the morning :cheers:

    • 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!
