How much will that shorten the trip?? Wouldn't mind cutting it bak if it can be helped, not to keen on spending 100 bucks on petrol to have an empty tank on Monday haha

it will cut it down to 190km, from about 420km.... joining the actual cruise for about 40kms..

If you are thinking along those lines maybe a better option is to head south along the Putty rd till you get the the old servo on the hill (can't remember how far down but not quite halfway from memory ) and wait for the cars to come through.

Still get some decent miles on the putty road just a drive down and turn around and come back again.

i stopped at this station one day, started to take a couple photo's & some old hillbilly came out yelling at me to get lost.

i lol'd, then remembered these people have guns. so i left.

Yeah it can be like that now that I think about it

I only stopped long enough to use the loo and kept going, was doing a shed delivery somewhere down that way

Quick question for the Sydney people I wanna know where is the best place to stop for fuel once down there

Plan to leave Newy with a full tank and top up somewhere in Sydney on the way

Any BP's with 98 in Windsor or along Windsor road?

windsor road, and pitt town rd.

BP at the lights, will confirm if they have 98 tomorrow for you.

if not, theres a 7/11 just before the bp, 99% sure they have 98, or as stated, the shell next to the raaf base.

nah wondering about a servo in the hunter valley, not near the meetup in the morning

weather looks to be sunny and 26 degrees yiewwww

Post was in relation to the one 2 above....

No idea about the other end, first time doing putty.

where abouts is the servo near the crowne plaza hunter valley?>

About 5 mins down the road towards Cessnock

Easy to find just drive to Cessnock till you see the shell

Thanks for the info on Sydney side

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
