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

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
