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.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
