Well, folks! Now, we've gone and done it! We're bringing out a cruise destination from the SAUNSW vault that hasn't been done in almost a decade! We're heading to Burragorang Lookout! In case you're wondering, Burragorang Lookout is located near Warragamba Dam, where you'll be able to see just how far Warragamba's catchment area is!

This is a fairly simple cruise, with few turns, which is also local - consider it a hidden treasure in Sydney's backyard!

So without any ado, here are the details:

Date: Sunday 26th March
Meet Location: Red Rooster, M4, Eastern Creek (West-bound)
Meet Time: Meet at 9:00am for a 9:30am departure
Destination: Burragorang Lookout, Burragorang Road, Nattai
Map: https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Red+Rooster+Eastern+Creek,+Western+Motorway,+Eastern+Creek+Blacktown,+NSW/burragorang+lookout/Camden+Valley+Inn,+Remembrance+Drive,+Cawdor+NSW/@-34.0904265,150.693856,19.03z/data=!4m25!4m24!1m10!1m1!1s0x6ad9ecaa54cfe7eb:0xf0d37f0e2e577385!2m2!1d150.8810631!2d-33.8024081!3m4!1m2!1d150.6682046!2d-33.7740864!3s0x6b1288c9655dd753:0x424c8e2ac4a4c262!1m5!1m1!1s0x6b1251a458212e69:0xe7328e069c80f1c3!2m2!1d150.4339643!2d-34.0689178!1m5!1m1!1s0x6b12fa0dbbf01671:0xa343f8beaaafcd44!2m2!1d150.6943219!2d-34.0916495!3e0

We'll be meeting at the Red Rooster carpark at the west-bound Twin Servo's on the M4 (heading west-bound).

After our usual briefing, we'll be entering onto the M4, and will continue along until we reach the Mulgoa Road exit to Penrith. At this exit, we'll turn left onto Mulgoa Road, and follow it along.

After turning left onto Mulgoa Road, we'll very quickly come up to a roundabout, where we'll turn right to continue along Mulgoa Road.

We'll stay on Mulgoa Road until we arrive in Wallacia, where we'll turn right onto Silverdale Road.

Silverdale Road is another long stretch of road we'll be running on, until we get to another roandabout in The Oaks, where we'll turn right again on Mary Street, which later becomes Burragorang Road. We then follow this all the way until we reach the lookout.

After we walk around and stretch our legs for 30 min, we'll then head to Camden Valley Inn for a bite to eat and a drink, for all of you who would love to join us.

Camden Valley Inn is only a stone's throw away from Burragorang Lookout - all we do is follow Burragorang Road all the way back the way we came until we reach the Old Hume Hwy at a T-intersection. From there, we turn right onto the Old Hume, and follow it for a few short minutes until we reach Camden Valley Inn, which will be located on the right on Wire Lane.

As always, there will be a lead and follow car so no one should get lost.

We will be passing through some residential areas along our drive, so your best behaviour is most appreciated.

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 track days.

This is an official SAU:NSW event and will be run under a Motorsport Australia 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!

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By JC71 · Posted

      looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
