Eric will reveal the grand plan soon, but

even if a few of us arrive together it is likely that you'll still get split up a little, as various cars will need to let other cars going to the event in at intersections, traffic lights etc so we need to revise any expectations that we will definitely all be able to park together and just enjoy the night regardless. I'm sure no one really expects we can all stay in one group but you can only do what you can and one should be prepared for a bit of a palaver

Just fingers crossed there are no d**kheads anywhere near us or our cars.

Ok, so here is THE PLAN!

(Huge thanks to NXTIME for finding and scouting the location for us!)

A member has a contact that works in this business park. It has been verified to be pretty much empty by 5:00 pm on a Friday and has tons of room for the SAU crowd. We don't know if there will be other groups meeting there (since this is a public event) but it easily accomodates between 80 and 100 cars.

It goes without saying that anyone revving their engines, burn outs, loud music or generally bad behaviour will be asked to immediately leave and will be reported to the authorities. Being in this group you are representing SAU:NSW and our code of conduct, member or not.

Two groups probably means that the SAU entries in the mega meet will be in at least two locations, assuming they park the mega meet cars first come first serve. VIP's will be in one group and general entry in the other.

Group 1: VIP's and SAU Trade Stand Entries (we only have room for about 8 on our trade stand and they have already been identified)

Meet up at the location at 4:30 and will be departing at 5:00 pm SHARP to go the few minutes to the Mega Meet location. A small group of execs/trade stand members will depart earlier to report back on the entry conditions. This MAY require earlier departure time if queuing is bad.

SO BE PREPARED TO DEPART ANY TIME BETWEEN 4:30 AND 5:00 PM!

Group 2: General Entry should arrive to the meet location between 5:00 and 6:00 pm. Group two should depart the location at 6 PM sharp!

If the groups get split by the traffic lights there isn't a whole lot we can do as we expect the whole area to be chock full of cars trying to get to the meet. So do your best and don't try any funny business to stay together.

As long as the groups leave together we can try to reassemble in the meeting parking lot.

Expect a long queue and to be sitting on idle for a while.

TIP! Be sure to check your radiator fluid to make sure your car won't over heat.

MEETING LOCATION: Industrial Car Park off Holbeche Rd & Walters Rd, Arndell Park (Meeting will be in the Red Triangle marked on the map)

DO NOT enter from Holbeche Rd as that driveway is steep and crested. The two driveways on Walters Rd are lip/exhaust friendly, with the on on the lowest part of this picture being nearly flat.

^ This worries me! Hopefully I won't over heat...

Just to be safe - Full coolant flush that morning :D

If your car doesn't overheat in traffic then shouldn't be a worry. Just not a lot of us end up sitting for 1/2 hour creeping down the road so I thought it would be a good idea to put the tip out.

Also, updated info on driveways (thanks again Charlie!). The one on Holebeche Rd has a crest that doesn't like exhausts so best to enter from the Walters rd end.

Don't know what time i'll be there, I work in the area but may have to unload my truck back at liverpool, say may not be there until 9pm.

That's ok though, the "red ssv utes with real motors" parking area wont have many cars in it :P

Yeah, what happens if 2,000 people get VIP tickets.

2000 VIP spots if all taken > Pay an extra $10 at the gate for a VVIP spot hehe..

Have a great time fellahs - especially at the SAU display!

Oh, was also going to mention that there will be an award (as per website) for best club display VIP entries. So if you guys want to organise something, then please do so.

Here's a thought, how about a simple A4 sheet that you tape from the inside of the car (plan for rain) that has the club logo? Any master photoshoppers out there that can help out?

A reminder that VIP entry is via Gate 16 which is the "Spectator Entry" (ie the southern entry to Sydney Dragway) - gates open at 5:30pm;

General Admission entry is via Gate 7 which is the "Competitor Entry" (ie northern entry to Sydney Dragway) - gates open at 6:30pm.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
