We will meet at McDonald's / KFC on Windsor road and from there will head onto Putty Road.

 

There will be a break at the Halfway Truck Stop which we should reach at approximately 11:30am.

 

For all the Newcastle folks this will be a good point to join up.

 

From here we will continue on to Singleton for lunch.

 

 

Please remember to fill up prior to heading onto Putty Road. There will not be a fuel stop until Singleton.

 

At Singleton there is a range of servo's available including BP, Shell and Caltex.

 

 

 

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!

The bride and I will be there in GTRWGN (Nissan Stagea 260RS).

Any Newcastle/Hunter Valley people are welcome to join us. We will leave Singleton at 10.30am. We will meet behind the shopping centre in Ryan Avenue near the big sundial. The same spot we've met up for this cruise for the last few years.

Hope to see a few of ya's. It'd be great to have a decent convoy to drive down to the Halfway Roadhouse to meet the main mob.

This is always an excellent day out and a great opportunity to drive one of the best damn roads in the state!

May I also suggest to the organisers that you use York St from John Street in Singleton. As last year we all went up Hunter Street straight past the police station. Which the boys in blue came out for a look and patrolled around The Royal hotel. There's also no traffic lights at the end of Hunter Street making it absolute chaos trying to get +50 Skylines through town.

If we use York St, it has traffic lights at the end of it to aid in turning left onto New England highway and it's blocks away from the police station. 7b45801172002487d423c1045e90554d.jpg

Either that. Or drive the entire length of John Street and go into the Royal hotel via the back streets.

This is probably the best idea, as turning right from the New England Highway to the Royal can take ages due to oncoming traffic.

It's definitely worth mentioning that NSW HWP are targeting The Putty Road heavily now; they are hiding in the bushes in full Camouflage fatigues, and using Polair helicopters.

Ya fookin joking ain't ya? First time I've ever heard of that and I live in Singleton at the end of Putty Road. I travel it frequently and rarely see a police car on its entire length to Windsor. [emoji15]

Some friends were at the Blue Gum Cafe on bikes last week, and there were 2 HWP cars with 4 police officers in Auscam fatigues.

They blitz the area every spring and summer, last year it was handing out defects to riders for aftermarket exhausts and tail tidies without reflectors.

This is the new trick.

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
