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.

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
