We will meet at KFC at the Crossroads and from here head onto the Hume Highway.

From this we will turn off onto Picton Road and follow this all the way into the Prices Motorway eventually reaching Albion Park.

The meet location is in front of St Paul's Catholic Primary School, Tongarra Road at around 11:00am - 11:30am.

Here we can make a quick rest stop to stretch our legs and allow everyone to catch up before heading off through Macquarie Pass.

If any lower west members would like to come this would be a good meet point.

From this it is a short trip up to Robertson Pie Shop for some of their famous pies and deserts.

 

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!

I’m from wollongong so I could meet you guys in Albion Park infront of the school. I could see if any of the local boys want to come and get them to tag along. Is it Skyline’s only?


Sounds good!! And nope - definitely not Skylines only!! Hahah!!

As some of you may know we lost one of our SAU NSW family members David Hennessy last month so as this cruise also falls the day before his birthday we will be dedicating this cruise in his honour. One of David’s legacies that he had built just before his passing with his best mate Pat Elliott is their VX Holden Commodore sporting a turbo LS1. We are honoured to have David & Pat’s FCNCER car along with David’s wife Anneke and a few of his close friends as special guests on this cruise to raise awareness and celebrate his life.
And to give back to the people from the MacArthur Cancer Foundation that have helped David and his family, we’ll be raffling off 3 x Nulon & SAU NSW prize packs to help raise money that will be donated to the MacArthur Cancer Therapy Centre.
Tickets can be purchased at our first 2 meeting points and the raffle will be drawn at our final destination.
Tickets will be sold for 1 for $2 or 3 for $5.

    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
    • Shock tower brace is in +5Kw....LOL
