Hey all!

Time for an Official SAU NSW Putty Rd Cruise! This time around we are doing it for a charity- RSPCA. All we ask, is a gold coin donation on the day :)

Now because this is a charity cruise for the RSPCA, lets have some fun with our furry friends and dress up the cars :) whether we have all kinds of plush toys sitting on our back windows, Domo's sitting in our passenger seat, soft toys attached to the front grill, BE CREATIVE!!!

Date: Sunday the 22nd of April 2012

Meet location: Percival St carpark, Clarendon. (Map below)

Meet time: 10am for a 1030am SHARP departure

Destination: Crowne Plaza Hunter Valley

Maps: Below are two maps showing the meet point. If you are having trouble finding the meeting point, you can Google map search "Percival St Clarendon" and it will take you straight to the meet point

Important things to note;

1. Bring a full tank of petrol to the start point, there are no petrol stations/stops until Singleton.

2. Only place for 98 Octane fuel in Singleton is BP 53 George St, Singleton. They're open on Sundays.

3. You dont have to be a club member to come along to this event.

4. This will go ahead if raining, although if hail is forecast check this thread on the day to check (just incase) if its been called off. We will make this call the night before

5. This is not a speed event, its a cruise. Want to speed? Come to one of our trackdays instead!

On this cruise we will ALL be sticking to the speed limit.There will be

NO DRIFTING.

NO BURNOUTS

NOTHING ILLEGAL!

We will be the most courteous users on the road, and we will not be doing ANYTHING to cause any disrepute for the club. <

any 'suspect' (read modified) cars should tuck themselves somewhere between 3rd and 3rd-last in the convoy.

As with all SAU:NSW events, this cruise will run under a CAMS permit

This will be another fun day, with the only cost a bit of fuel, and what ever you decide to buy at the pub at the end :).

Bring a walky talkie if you have one, as we will sort out a channel to use at the start. Remember to dress those cars up!!

Crowne Plaza is at Lovedale, its roughly 20->25mins once we get off Putty Road guys... We end up in Lovedale @ Crowne Plaza, Country & Golf Club which is 10minutes from Cessnock itself. There are numerous service stations BP, Caltex in Cessnock.

Originally the plan was to turn at Milbrodale and cut across to lovedale through Broke, seemed like the most direct route, although its not confirmed as yet. Anything we should know about these roads? I do know there is a wooden bridge, one lane, at the end of Milbrodale Rd.

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
