Will be Attending as well.

Newcastle side.

Last year there was around 10 of us from Newcastle, will there be a Thread to organize that?

Can post one up sure :)

Might need some suggestions with meet locations as not too familiar with the area.

Yes, it's been arranged before that Newie guys arrange or advertise your own rendezvous point so you can reach the Halfway House by 11.30.

(I'm not sure though Chris, that if there's no Exec among them, CAMS coverage is valid only after joining the main convoy).

Would people be interested in going to the Downshift meet in the afternoon after we finish the cruise, Obviously not apart of SAU cruise but thought it could be fun heading over to the event together?

Unsure about the Cams situation.. Is that a problem?

up till the point we have joined the main group, it just means we are "on our own" in a way?

On a couple of former Putty Road cruises there were Execs from the Central Coast so there wasn't an issue.

In 2010-11 there was a deferment of the annual Putty Road cruises due to SAU.NSW running Legends Nights.

And last year, I only got to go 40mins and then stopped to escort a guy with an overheating GTR back to a workshop.

So I should let an Exec answer your enquiry on this occasion.

CAMS insurance coverage is only from the meet point (McDonalds on Groves Ave) to the destination (The Royal Hotel, Singleton). And only if your between the lead and trail car, which will be announced on the day.

Ah, that makes perfect sense. So basically we are on our own till we join you.

Either way, it shouldn't be a problem if everyone takes care and doesn't do anything foolish.

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
