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.

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
