Any updates to the meeting points along the way? I might wake my car up and bring it out but won't be going anywhere near the nasho, imo going through there is asking for trouble.

I'd be leaving from Turramurra so if anyone is keen to meet and head down beforehand, drop me a pm.

I'm keen mate i heading down from newport on the Northern beaches 'pending new rims and tires...' :sleep:

might be up for this, i havent taken the 'long' way down to the southern highlands in a while :yes:

Me plus another car should be there :)

Does anyone use CB radios on cruises?

Mine typically lives in the car so you wont be the only one with one

_-= UPDATE =-_

Ok guys, so i did the run today, and we are completely green to go, and here is the final copy of the day.

MEETING POINT IN THE MORNING.

I went and investigated loftus tafe, and either I was blind last time I was up there, or its become a nightmare. Also those speed bumps would cause problems for most lowered cars. Heres the alternative.

We are meeting up in the oval car park, directly opposite the 2nd entrance to Loftus tafe on Rawson Road. Easily explained, Turning onto Rawson road from the heathcote side, continue until you hit the second roundabout, perform a complete 180, then the immediate left hand car park 20 m from the roundabout.

I will be in Big Bird, a nice bright yellow R34, so I should be easy to spot. Dont stress if you miss the turn after your 180, you can just go back to the 1st roundabout, or take the second left entrance.

ITS REALLY EASY, and you will all see it when you get there.

So I will be aiming to arrive at 9:00 am, to ensure I am the first car there. We will be gearing up/having an overview chat 10 minutes before, and LEAVING, at 10:00 am sharp.

The main intersection lights may be a pain. The plan in place is I will designate the tail car, this car will have my number, and whilst the rest of us wait at the nasho entrance, the tail car will text me when all cars are through the lights and on bundeena drive.

For those of us not wanting to go through the nasho, I timed the run today and an ETA at stanwell tops of 10:30-10:45 is expected if you would like to shortcut to this point, as we will be stopping for photo's. ( however long we all decide )

My report of the nasho includes NO roadworks, NO HWP, and NO defect stations or evidence to a defect station in any shape or form. A nice clean drive.

From Stanwell tops, an ETA Yallah shell/ Albion park at 11:20 - 11:30, depending on our time at stanwell tops/traffic/lights. This route is pretty straight forward, and since we will not be speeding, it will be easy for everyone to catch up if they get a bad light.

Our final stop, the mittagong RSL, ETA 12:30 - 2:00 pm, depending on traffic/lights/fuel stops/tail car.

I have booked out the rear car park for our event, and it would be another great time to grab some photo's before heading in for food/drinks/relaxing. Before we leave I will be ringing ahead to inform them of numbers. The bistro may or may not be open after 2pm, depending on how busy the RSL is, but there is still a coffee/snack/sandwich bar open for lunch in any case.

Can I please encourage everyone to have a look at the route map as linked in the first post, particularly the southern highlands if you are not familiar with the area, some ground knowledge would be advisable. Due to the high content of bad drivers in my area, a bad roundabout and 2 sets of lights, we may get a few gaps. It is a very straight forward trip however, with the key point being turn left at mcdonalds.

I will go over this all again quickly before we leave, but if you have any questions/concerns feel free to PM me, I will also provide my mobile number in a PM if required.

THIS EVENT IS ON REGARDLESS RAIN, SNOW, OR SHINE.

Thank you all for your interest in this event, hope to see most of you there.

Josh.

Lucky bugger having 2 GTR's to choose from haha. See you Sunday

Never mind found the date

If parking at loftus is a nightmare have you considered meeting up opposite kirawee bunnings near Justjap, heaps of street parking there

Its all sorted mate, thanks for the concern. As for distance its probably an easy 200-300 kms. I just dis the run yesterday, and i started in the highlands on a full tank, drove all the way to loftus and did the run, still had a good 40% of a tank.

Thanks for all the feedback guys. Not long now. I am open for PMs if any further concerns.

How man kms is it from loftus to mittagong?

For us e85 users :P

Is it this sat or sun cos I cbf reading through the pages on my phone ahha

Caltex at Kirrawee has E-flex if that helps anyone. It's about 5 minutes from the meet point and on the way for anyone coming over Tom ugly bridge from the north

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
