Good Morning SAU Members:

Today I am here for a few reasons. Foremost, some time this year I am moving from Cairns to Perth and very specifically will be driving my R34 GT-t the whole way. If funds allow I will be picking up a R32 GT-R either when I reach Brisbane, or shortly before I leave Cairns.

This is an excellent opportunity for me to both meet many of you and also shoot many of your cars. The hope would be (on top of the documentary of the trip via GoPro) that I can make a nice album featuring all walks of Skylines over the entire country (exc. Tas, sorry). Obviously I’m hoping some of the high rollers will let me shoot some of the rarer Skylines, however everything in-between is just as important. I’d like everything from HR31’s, HNR32’s, ENR34’s, etc. Nothing is unwanted. Show level or drift pig.

My second wish is a longer shot. If anybody is willing to tag along for any part of the journey it would really complete the experience. Already I will have the ER34 and BNR32. For example, I hope to find at least a few Brisbane folks willing to do the BNE-SYD leg with me. (I’d probably consider marrying anybody who did the entire trip from BNE-ADE (cars are on trains from CNS-BNE/ADE-PER.).).

Since I don’t have a date set in stone I won’t try to coordinate any meetings just yet. However I would like to drum up some interest and gauge a feel for how many people would be willing to partake. Participation levels from simply letting me take a photo of your car all the way to packing up the car after the photo shoot and heading for W.A.

What I need: People looking to have some fun with their Skylines.

What I don’t need: People telling me an ER34 isn’t built for traversing Australia.

Thanks for your time guys. I hope to see you on the road!

Kindly,

Joshua Hellyer.

(Note: Only on the QLD forum for now. No point disturbing the other states until we get closer to departing QLD.)

I've been planning to go see my family in Sydney in the next month or so. Once you got the firm dates would be really good to know, if all good I'll jump in my skyline with the missus and join the "convoy" from Brissy to Sydney and then I can catch up with family down there. More fun driving then flying :)

Nullabor is pretty special, lots of long straight road but still an amazing part of Aus.

Good road surface, speed is only 110 and policed would you believe it.

Don't travel early morning or evening due to the roos.

If you must travel at these times, sit back behing a semi and let him clear the path. Watch out for road kill flying off his wheels.

UHF is a must, just a hand held so you can chat with the truckies.

Fuel will be expensive and of suspect quality so don't go heavy with the foot.

    • Our Southern Highlands Cruise is proudly registered with “R U OK?” Day.  Sometimes the best way to check in on your mates is by getting out for a drive together. Sharing a common passion like cars creates the perfect space to chat, connect, and support each other.  A simple “R U OK?” can make all the difference. Let's enjoy the drive, the company, and look out for one another. PLEASE WEAR YELLOW FOR “R U OK?” DAY Sunday 14th September 2025 9:30AM Meeting Crossroads Homemaker Centre 10:00AM Cruise Departure Via Old Hume Hwy 11:45AM Arrival at Mittagong RSL Club Meet Location: Crossroads Homemaker Centre Final Destination: Mittagong RSL Club *Disclaimer* There will be a lead and follow car so no one should get lost. If you would like to attend or bring others along please put your name down and a +1 as numbers will be needed prior! This is NOT a race and we will all be adhering to all road rules. If this is what you want please come to one of our many track days. This is an official SAU:NSW event and will be run under a CAMS permit. One of the things that really sets our club apart is our commitment to being true enthusiasts. When on normal roads we strive to maintain good relations with the authorities as well as the public in general. When attending one of Skylines Australia NSW events please try to: • Be aware of surrounding environment and act accordingly. • Drive courteously on the state’s roads as a true enthusiast should. • Understand how important it is to maintain the good name of SAU NSW and thus, treat others accordingly. • Any misbehavior will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave.
    • Yep, its been down for a while, as I understand it it will be back soon.
    • Yeah I also looked at Plazmaman, but, it ended up alot  cheaper getting black ones through EFI when you also added in the delivery cost
    • Nice shot! They look super clean. The roof rack delete on the black one is interesting. Would like to see more pictures from different angles. It's subtle but could make quite a difference to how the car looks in profile.
