Head off from the BP up the hunter valley via the New England Highway, turn left onto the Golden Highway after Branxton, Turn left onto Putty Road and follow it down to the truck stop.

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.

Its alright, Dori's lil go kart isnt much quicker :P

    • Please use a modern ECU. PowerFC with the Nintendo Gameboy controller is horrible. It's not 2005 anymore.
    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
