we will have a little break there, then head back up putty road and stop for lunch in Greta. there is plenty of parking, and a bakery or the pub for food and drinks. we will probably arrive at the end point from 12.30-1.30. cruise finishes here.

make sure you have a full tank a fuel for the run, and bring a camera if you have one to take some snaps of the day.

If sydney guys are keen to come up from putty road south, let me know and we can arrange to meet at the truck stop and can continue with us to the lunch stop.

I will have some walkie talkies on the cruise, so if you have some also bring them along.

Of coarse on this cruise we will be sticking to the speed limit as we have done on our other ones.

Remember this is a cruise not a race.

We WILL:

Give way to everyone and everything!

Stick to the speed limit

NOT hoon

NOT be loud and stupid, ESPECIALLY in towns (low rpm!)

Have a great day like on our other cruises

ANY CAR IS WELCOME, ANY PERSON IS WELCOME, AS LONG AS YOU ARE BEHAVED AND HAVE THE RIGHT ATTITUDE!!!!

Hope to see you all there! any questions just post in here.

i need to replace my heater core but if i get round to that (hopefully do it next week) im in for sure :D

Heater cores are so 2010, just remove the carpet and sound deadening and you get awesome warmth flowing up from the floor.

I may be in for the whole run if the stars and family align.

Love the putty.

Love long cruises.

Just be aware of the other cars, trucks, and bikes.

Sounds good, if there is a group of you heading up we can just organise before hand a time to meet at the truck stop etc via mobile or something on the day, then head back up north as one group.

haha maye bring spares just in case haha?...

i should have 2 spare sets by then (blitz and factory) so i guess ill take 2 spares incase of epic fail again

cant go splurging like i did on apprentice wages :(

any sydney boys meeting up prior to this?

I fart in your general direction....... Haha

Ill see if i can drive my car for longer than 45mins without breaking anymore stock components, i am seriously running out of parts to replace!!!

if I get the ok, will he heading up.

but lux doesn't like more than 100/hr, and even then....

so could be a long trip.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
