You can look on the united site and select united servo nearby where the cruise goes and you can also view what fuel they sell at the Bowser E85,p100 etc,

As for the half way meet point is this the twin Caltexs on F3 freeway?

Fark, that's worse then mine ( 170km from 42-45ltrs @+/-$1.24p/l ), and I'm on E85 pumping 22psi :(

LOL!! Tell me about it!!! hahah have contacted Toshi - maybe can get him to help me look at it and give me a quote...

I am up for this... From the Newcastle end.

meeting at Halfway point or is there a Meet up for the Newcastle people before hand?

Looks like livewire is trying to organise something, check out the Newcastle spotted thread, I hit him up about it today.

Which mean we leave there and head into 16km of the some of best road NSW has to offer :D

Yep now that is what I like to hear lol.

And thanks James, your name has been added.

As Jackson has mentioned I believe livewire has been organising a Newcastle Meet :)

Ok, so anyone from Newcastle/Central Coast/Hunter Valley that would like to meet up with myself and Global_warmer in Singleton before heading down the Putty Road, here's the plan...

Meetup 9-9:30 at Sundial on Ryan Avenue, Singleton

Leave around 9:45/10 (allowing 1.5 hours to Putty meetup)

I have attached a "dodgy looking' map lol. If you have gps, type in Ryan Avenue, Singleton 2330, otherwise i've highlighted directions from coming into town. Very easy to find. McDonalds is on the New England highway (changes name to Maitland Rd when coming into town) so you will run into it. There are two sets of traffic lights at the intersections outside Mcdonalds/Hungry Jacks/pizza hut etc, take a left at the second set of lights (york st) an follow it till the end, left again and then next right opposite the united servo and you'll see a giant sundial at the end of the street. We'll be waiting at the sundial :-)

Is it 177km there and back or each way, cause each way means I'm out, I can't carry that much fuel :( lol

170km per tank is about the best I have done, cause I love boost :yes:

There is United E85 is Cessnock which really isnt that far to travel if you are keen...

Fark, that's worse then mine ( 170km from 42-45ltrs @+/-$1.24p/l ), and I'm on E85 pumping 22psi :(

I run 28psi and dont have the fuel consumption issues you guys have? Well when i was street driving anyhow... Would get at least 350km to a tank including plenty of full throttle!

On track its shithouse but that is mostly full throttle :P

I'll just bring a few Jerries, should be plenty, it will work out to just over two tank fulls

What can I say, my 34 has a drinking problem lol :D

Just a suggestion for those running e85 who are concerned about fuel consumption... Rather than being turned off coming or not wanting to carry spare fuel, maybe come up the putty road with a full tank but head back via Cessnock to the F3?

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
