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

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
