Hey Guys,

Unofficial Cruise #3

This is my first attempt and we will get better as we go :banana:

Its that time again for our Newcastle crew to get out and do some cruising on the 21st October. This will be an early morning cruise due to the traffic that generally builds on Old Pac. I suggest you grab a bite to eat before you go due to the time in the morning, IF you guys wanna meet earlier and stop on the way down please let me know and ill make adjustments but at this stage we would like to be nice and early. The cruise is basically a run from Newcastle down to Gosford/Kariong so we can meet out Central Coast SAU crew and have a quick meet up, we will then proceed down Old Pacific Highway (Old Pac) and then down the Galston Gorge.

There are 2 options planned for the lower end of the cruise and this is to accomodate the cars that will be too low for a Ferry crossing. Chookie and Myself did the run and it is a nice chilled out drive, this will be a cruise and not a race, any misbehavior on the road that may cause a bad name for SAU will not be tolerated and you will be reported. We have had a good start to our Northern cruises, lets not ruin it now!

Cruise Details -

When - 21st October - 7am start

7.00am meet up at Mattara Hotel Charlestown. Please bring a full tank of fuel, there is multiple service stations within 1km from the meet point including E85 fuel.

7.15am Departure from the Mattara Hotel carpark will take us down through the coast and onto the Freeway where we will meet up with the Central Coast guys

The meet point will be the carpark across from the Central Coast BMW dealership (Kangoo Rd i believe), there is plenty of room to meet up at this location. Arrival should be around 8.25am depending on traffic. We may take this opportunity to grab a few pics and meet each other as there will be some new faces on this cruise and we want it to be a friendly and welcoming meet :yes:

Departure time from the carpark will depend on the photo's but it will be NO later than 9am as we will want to get on the Old Pac nice and early. We will enter the Old Pacific Highway at the top and follow it all the way down towards Hornsby, We are planning to stop and get some pics of the cars on the waterfront, the best we could find was these spots for now, we are open to suggestions on the day but at this stage the plan will be here -

Heaps of room to line the cars for an angle shot -

Just over the bridge to the left there is also a spot looking back at the bridge and also over the Marina etc

Once the photos are done we will cruise down through to Hornsby on the Old Pacific Highway, at this stage we will have NO time constraints so it will be very casual.

Once again there is 2 routes we have on option to us based on the cars that attend.

Lowered car option - If we have too many lowered cars the plan will be down through Galston Gorge and across the other side and then we will have a quick stop at Galston and then head back through the Gorge and return up Old Pac.

Normal cruise option - We plan to turn down Berowra waters and head across the Ferry and then proceed up through Galston Gorge and back onto Old Pac.

The Ferry

As you can see the ramp IS steep and we will make the call on the day as to which route to take.

Once we are back on Old Pac we will be returning to the famous Pie In The Sky for a bite to eat, if you dont like these pies then there is something wrong with you :P They are amazing!!

Once we are full and had a good catch up it will be time to make the trip home, we will stop and see off the Central Coast guys at the original location and then proceed back towards Newcastle.

We will be inviting our friends from 3LACK UNDERGROUND and possibly some others, this cruise is NOT restricted to skylines but please no bombs or stock dailys as we would like some nice shots to show the Newcastle/Central Coast car enthousioust scene is in full swing! We have a good thing going, lets KEEP it going. We are all here to enjoy ourselves!

Guys please be aware -

We will be the most courteous users on the road, and we will not be doing ANYTHING to cause any disrepute for the club.

This will be another fun day, with the only cost a bit of fuel, and what ever you decide to eat and drink.

On this cruise we will ALL be sticking to the speed limit.

There will be

NO DRIFTING.

Any chance of making it October 28th, the day after I get my full licence.

=\

Nope! Date is set on this one....

Please note, IF we do take the Ferry option our fearless Trolley Surfer has offered to bring some usefull tools to assist with Ferry loading, we have spoken to the Ferry crew and they ARE willing to help us as long as the tide is right for loading -

These will also be used if anyone steps out of line :ph34r:

:laugh: just kidding!

Goodjob matt,

Very thorough! Keen to see the numbers we get from the coast boys!

Thanks Mate, we will be selective as to where we advertise but i anticipate a trouble free relaxing day :D

i'll be there in spirit :-)

Ant,looking at the ferry offload, i suggest you take some allen keys for your diffuser :unsure:

Shame about the timing mate, would have been good to at least had one with ya! Anyway, there IS an alternative so the low cars etc will not have to go across it....... We will see how it goes on the day!

Ill get my m8 in his S15 to come, he has just had a top mount put in so im sure he would love the chance to show it off lol.

Yep that makes the Tally 6 x R34 and 2 x S15 so far :) Keep them coming guys!!

Wow the 34 gang. After the reception and commenta fater the last meet no way. Have fun

Ahhh was that the V series? Can understand that mate! Don't want anyone feeling left out and no smartass comments.... I think I was guilty of one.... Anyway, if you do come it will be chilled and no dramas

I will hopefully be able to make this cruise now im finally back on the road after a few months.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
