Hi guys.

Date: Saturday 31st of October

Meet Location: McDonald's / KFC Mulgrave (3 Groves Avenue, Mulgrave)

Meet Time: Meet at 10:00am for a 10:30am departure

Destination: Megalong Valley Tearooms (Megalong Valley Road, Megalong Valley)

We will meet at McDonald's / KFC at Mulgrave and from here head off on Hawkesbury Valley Way.

From here we will continue through to Richmond and then jumping onto Bells Line of Road.

This will continue up until reaching and turning onto Darling Causeway.

It is then a short trip down The Great Western Highway before turning off and heading towards Megalong Valley.

There will be a short stop (Station Street / Shipley Road - refer to the map) before heading down as these traffic lights may cause a bit of delay.

After this is some very nice twisty roads before reaching our destination.

There will be a lead and follow car so no one should get lost.

We will also be bringing along walkie talkies to keep the group together so if you have one please bring it along.

If you would like to attend or bring others along please put your name down and a +1 as numbers will be needed prior!

This is NOT a race and we will all be adhering to all road rules. If this is what you want please come to one of our many track days.

This is an official SAU:NSW event and will be run under a CAMS permit.

One of the things that really sets our club apart is our commitment to being true enthusiasts. When on normal roads we strive to maintain good relations with the authorities as well as the public in general.

When attending one of Skylines Australia NSW events please try to:

• Be aware of surrounding environment and act accordingly.
• Drive courteously on the state’s roads as a true enthusiast should.
• Understand how important it is to maintain the good name of SAU:NSW and thus, treat others accordingly.

• Any misbehaviour will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave.

Thanks guys and hope to see you there!

Thanks guys, have updated the list!

What time do you believe we will reach our destination?

Should get there around 12:00pm - 12:30pm depending on traffic and such.

Can I add your name Brett?

Maybe bring the STI ;)

In.

Not a skyline cruise unless there's an evo :)

Haha indeed this is true and wouldn't have it any other way!

Sharing this on my Facebook page as well to get a few more enthusiasts out for the drive :)

That might be a bad idea as we may be unable to control the group if there are too many, i'll let the OP decide but from my experience, sharing events on facebook that are usually well organised and well behaved can turn ugly. Not saying your friends are hoons and badly behaved, but just saying it may bring some unwanted attention or bad behaviour to the event.

ONDBALL haha.

I would love to come to this but I'm stuck being a best man at a wedding so not something I can really get out of.

For anyone who hasn't done this cruise before the road to the tea rooms is freaking awesome, probably the best cruise I've done since joining SAU. Take lots of photos for me and have a fun cruise all

Noted haha. Yes ONDBALL IS NOT INVITED! That was just poor behaviour...

I've asked rajeel aka 34fiji if it's ok and he said its fine. I will however continue to remind everyone about their behaviour :)

Im also happy to run everyone else behind the sau group :)

  • Like 2

This is an open cruise for everyone to come along.

In saying so, if you would like to participate you should note your name down (or +1 and such) here on SAU as numbers are needed prior for the Permit and Tearooms.

As per usual if you cannot abide to the Road Rules or contribute to any misconduct you will be asked to leave the event and if such continues will be reported.

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
