Hey guys, im organising a cruise that is one not for the faint hearted. It is only for those keen to tackle the most notorious & dangerous, but also the funnest, stretch of road in NSW--> OLD PUTTY ROAD. Im ending this Cruise @ Crowne Plaza, Golf & Country Club, Hunter Valley (out the back of Cessnock) over some well needed lunch- after the driving! I have made this an invite only event, i thought it would be a great opportunity to extend the invitation to SAU Members- for the reason also i know how well behaved you all are... Here are the details;

DATE: Sunday, April 8th

MEET: from 10AM

WHERE: Parklea T-Way (Corner of Burns Rd/Sunnyholt Rd & Old Windsor Road)!!

WE LEAVE: 10:40AM SHARP

DESTINATION: Crowne Plaza, Golf & Country Club, Hunter Valley (out the back of Cessnock)

Hope to see you there... been waiting a long time do this cruise! :D

Don't want to put a damper on your efforts here but SAU:NSW will also be holding it's Official Putty Road (not Old Putty Road) cruise in April. Details on that will be up soon.

Great........ Two runs in April!

Just make sure it's not on the same day.

Aw fuaarrkk, dont know why i said "Old Putty Road" hahaha wtf & i cant edit either- spewing :( rofl... Its dangerous because you dont know whats around the next corner! SAU Cruise last year (if im thinking about the right one), was a massive sudden stop around a slightly sharp corner at a crash site & could have ended badly for anyone not paying attention... felt so sorry for those injured in that crash!

:unsure: Diidnt know there was going to be one in April, woops.... my apologies. I'll more than likely come on the SAU one too

This sounds like it could be fun. Haven't been up the Putty Rd for 5 years and never in the 31 although done it many times over past 30 years in quick cars! Would come mainly to meet up with some of you as I haven't met anyone as yet.

What's the speed limit these days and the situation with the ummm...traffic safety patrols and cameras?

Definately dont want to be breaking laws & putting everyone else in potential trouble.... just to clear it up incase people missed the message in the main thread, this is a Private Cruise with cars of different variety (mostly JDM) & for people who can behave themselves, i have extended the invitation to SAU memembers to attend for this reason!

UPDATE:

I finally was able to get in touch with Crowne Plaza, Golf & Country Club, Hunter Valley (out the back of Cessnock)... i have booked us in @ the Grapevine Cafe/Bar which has alot of variety on the menu & meals at decent prices (normal bistro style prices).

As for FUEL, there are numerous Service Stations down the road (roughly 10min away) in Cessnock so dont stress about fuel issues.. as for those running on E85, if you can, pull out the pin in your ECU to switch to 98. Otherwise if your game enough, bring 2 x 10 or 20ltr Jerry Cans.. lol (not that i would agree to the latter :unsure:)

G'day my name is mark maxwell and my toy is a clean GTR R33 , it sits in my garage with a flat battery. I just joined up with SAU, because the Putty Rd drive sounds like fun, I would like to join you on this drive. Thanks

    • Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
