What a cruise! Lots of highlights, here are some of the photos. You can see some more on flickr https://www.flickr.com/photos/114247084@N04/

One of the highlights was seeing the worlds largest Sundial. Amazing sculpture at the Halfway Roadhouse, with a massive turnout for the day.

Can't wait for the next cruise which the SAUNSW Team already have in the pipeline!

Awesome photos! I saw you on the side of the road as we left the Truck Stop and super stoked you got a nice shot of my car despite it's deformities! :worship:

Really enjoyed the day - thanks to the organisers and all the participants. I had to get out of the Royal Hotel soon after smashing down a massive Schnitty to meet a family obligation at 4pm. Did ok for traffic but copped the hail soon after coming off the F3 and had zero visibility by Gordon!

Can still taste the E85 coming out the back of Mick's beast 34 - got quite used to it after the first 20kms!

Cheers to the photographers too.

Merry Christmas all!

Thanks to all involved in organising such a good cruise - it was good to catch up with everyone before Christmas.

We made the decision to go home by the Putty Road and managed to get caught in the middle of the storm - much excitement ! ! !

There was that much water over the road that anything above 2 grand and the car just broke into wheel spin and at the worst of it we were doing 40 km and could not see enough to do any more.

The water was that deep that the mags on my car have flow marks that reflect where the water was going through the spokes - we were thinking that we should have brought the Hilux instead of a Skyline.

We were very pleased to see the relative safety of Windsor compared to where we had been.

Thanks to everyone who brought their cameras and took some great pictures.

I must have hit a rock, It sounded like something f**ked something in the rear passenger wheel...

It squealed like a pig all the way down the ridge. when i Finally found a place to stop, I took the wheel off & break pads out and it was a horrid grinding noise. the dust plate thingy looked a little bent so gave it a whack to move it away from the break rotor. nope still grinding and crunching away.

decided to just limp it home so put pads back in & wheel back on...2 metres of grinding and it stopped..... FIXED!!!! I managed to drive all the way home home no issue as well as to and from work today with no issues.

thanks to Cieran for stopping with me & thank god we didn't get any rain while messing about.

this car and its weird disappearing issues... no idea.

Hey guys, being my first SAU NSW to be involved in, I thought it was a great day. Although I'm more of a track dude than a cruise dude, I hadn't driven putty before so I'm pretty pleased with how it all went. Look forward to seeing some familiar faces on the next one now.

Cheers,

Jacko.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      Rear Sway Bar Busshings - Holden Astra TS (2002)

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.

      Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
