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.

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
