Newcastle And Central Coast 26/8/2012 Cruise To Singleton


Recommended Posts

Okay after an informal meeting last night (drinks at the pub) it was decided that the next cruise should be to Singleton

The plan is to go the back way via Maitland Vale road through Stanhope, Elderslie and then up towards Gresford turning off at Gresford rd and heading into singleton

We can then have lunch at either the Imperial (an 1800's style pub) or the Albion ( down near the train station) and from there head back home via the highway or your choice of country road

I think th best meet point would be the BP at the end of the F3 that way if you need to fuel up you can meet from 9.30 for a 10.00am departure with some nice roads scenery etc and hopefully a good feed at the end

We had a good first meet so let's keep it going

See you all there

There is a very well engineered bypass that is one of my favourite roads...and it is relatively new as well

It is a bypass from East Maitland (you turn right at the melbourne street lights, then left just past the United Petrol Station) and its a nice engineered road that goes through to Bolwarra...I know this because I live in Bolwarra (^^♪

I've been too singleton a few times, there is a section of road on that highway there where a Mobile Speed Camera is often perched.

Where have you been hiding?

Yeah I know that road well, use it all the time when I'm up that way. One day I might see the big cat finished but looks like the owner has stopped work on it or given up

Yeah cops love the new England but as long as you do the limit and slow down at the road works through Branxton etc you have no problem

Just fix it uve got a week lol

Jim Berry needs the clutch for a week to build......

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
