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

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
