Those that didn't make the trip missed out big time

Great weather and plenty of cars

Was having a ball keeping up with the GTRs till the bike put a stop to that

He will recover in time but both his legs look pretty f**ked at the moment

Lucky to only get away with those injuries I reckon, could have been a lot worse for him

Yeah, our best wishes for the rider too. My mrs was down the bank having a chat to him before the GP and others arrived. Seemed his head, arms and torso look right, but the legs were both shot, hope he's able to keep them. We stayed behind and helped out with traffic for a bit, thanks to everyone who gave a hand. Very lucky man. Met his mate, was a nice fella, said he liked he Stagea, and didn't see many in the uk!

Great cruise overall, great turn out. Felt was it like to have a r35 bearing down on you! :P

Had a good feed at a well chosen venue.

Thanks to the admins for organising, and everyone for making a successful cruise! Let's see pics!

refilled a tank and a half today haha but it was worth it! such a great road before the bumpy stage and mad fun driving with well behaved drivers =]

looking forward to the next cruise!

Another great Putty Rd cruise. Well done to SAU:NSW and everyone who attended and behaved.

Also, thank you to the people who stopped and assisted at the bike crash with traffic management (sorry, forgotten your names). They biker's friends were very appreciative. As mentioned above, he was very lucky that it wasn't worse. Thankfully we managed to flag down a doctor, a medic and a nurse who provided assistance until the ambo's arrived.

I missed most of the lunch as a result, but was great to catch up with a few old faces and meet some new ones. I took a few pics whilst a passenger in the ol' Starion :)

was an awesome day out, nice roads, good company, thats the second time i have done putty rd, and thats the second bike crash i have seen at the very same spot....

hope all is well

NYTSKY ur car sounded tuff passing me on the F3 home :)

will post up some pics later on or tomorow

ps. Thanks to all the organisers aswell, was a well thought out cruise, nice lunch at the end with plenty of parking !

thank you to all the rganisers who made this cruise possible.

first time ive done putty, wont be the last.

hope the biker gets well soon.

great to see the excellent turn out, very surprising considering the thread indication.

great to meet some of you, sorry, im going to forget your names.(i suck with names)

we want a wrap up thread!!!!

Amazing drive, love Putty Road, 1st time... i love that everyone behaved themselves, and choice pick on destination! I told Lisa (one of the contacts at Crowne Plaza) we'll be back there for sure, poor Rachel is off on annual leave & was looking forward to all the cars (must have forgotten about the call 4 weeks ago :ph34r:). A BIG thanx to Google maps & Google earth haha i wouldnt have found that destination otherwise. :P

Thanx to SAU execs incl. Anna & Eric, etc. for allowing me to combine the H.R (High Rolla) Putty Road Cruise with theirs, and for SAU's great organisation, it turned out to work amazing as one complete event :D thanx heaps guys!!

Although JZX100 had some suspension issues today with scrubbing out hard on most of those Putty bumps, which made me take it abit too easy & had no choice but to loose everyone, still had a madd day also had a nice cruise back on the freeway with 2 R32GTR's & 2 R34GTRS & Lambchops (love the uper class sniff from that R32, smelt great lol) :P

Whoslesale Suspension book-in call tomorrow for sure... Chaser needs front raised!

I got in around 7:50 after going home via Golden Highway+Bylong Valley Way.

Thanks to the organisers for a great day. I've lost my virginity and very happy it was on the putty.....

Thanks to those attending the motorcyclist. Great work. Glad he's still alive. Could have been worse what with the armco and those trees.

The Bylong Valley way is a great road but a bit more bumpy than the Putty and narrower. Some great 25km hairpins that I did in 2nd and then blasted in between. It was after 6pm, dark and raining and had of all things a Rav4 up my tail all the way. My car was a bit slippery on the corners and the first time I've done the road. The Rav obviously knew the road and then past me in Rylstone taking a short cut. :angry:

Need to fix the rear suspension now.

Hey, what about the gold coin donation? I didn't have any one to give the money to and didn't see a collection bucket.

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
