Important things to note;
1. Please bring a Gold Coin Donation (feel free to give more!)

2. Bring a full tank of petrol to the start point.

3. You don't have to be a club member to come along to this event.

4. This will go ahead if raining, although if hail is forecast check this thread on the day to check (just in case) if it's been called off. We will make this call the night before.


5. This is not a speed event, it's a cruise. Want to speed? Come to one of our track days instead!


On this cruise we will ALL be sticking to the speed limit. There will be

NO DRIFTING.
NO BURNOUTS
NOTHING ILLEGAL!


Do so and risk being reported to the police!

We will be the most courteous users on the road, we will not be doing ANYTHING to cause any disrepute for the club.

Any 'suspect' (read modified) cars should tuck themselves somewhere between 3rd and 3rd-last in the convoy.
As with all SAU:NSW events, this cruise will run under a CAMS permit.
This will be another fun day, with the only cost a Gold donation, fuel, and whatever you decide to buy at the Pie Shop at the end.
Bring a walkie talkie if you have one, as we will sort out a channel to use at the start.

Just an FYI this was the result of a lot of back ground coordination with Rob and the 300ZX folks. We're going to try to meet up at our start point, but logistically difficult to fit all the cars at their destination. Hence the change in our route.

Come out and show Eric & Kylie how great the whole automotive community is!

I could be down for this as well. I dont think I have any plans for that day. My missus may disagree though lol.

Only just found out about this cruise yesterday.

Absolutely mortified by what I read on the aus300 thread, what a gut wrenching story. Prayers and best wishes for Eric and Kylie and the family.

In for sure, see you all there with wallets ready

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
