At this stage we will probably leave around 3 - 4PM, and arrive by 7:30PM at the latest. Check into the hotel, then go and wine and dine at one of the many restaurants/cafes 2 minutes walk from the hotel.

Nik...I'm not sure if I'll be able to leave till 5ish so I might have to see you guys up there...depends on my friend, if she can get off a little earlier, I'll cruise with you.

So you guys are staying in the city on the Saturday night? I think we'll stay at the Hunter, providing a few of the sydney people are keen still!

well doesnt look like i'll be able to make it. i even took the day off work and everything to find that its my grandpa's 80th bday, which i cant get out of. sorry guys, i was really looking forward to it. looks like it will have to wait till next year. \

bummer......

however, i'll probably have to drive up on the friday, so i'll probably join the curise up to sydney, then go my seperate way from there.

heya...it's in the members section. Non-members are welcome too (there'll be a $5 fee for non-members - cams requirement).

we're not trying to exclude anyone, but because it's an official club event, we're just not advertising it all over the place :)

you might want to PM majanal if you want to come, because he needs the numbers for lunch...and also get him to tell you the meeting place & time..

the club is CAMS affiliated so whenever we hold an event we are covered by CAMS insurance....I know it's only a cruise but if something happened the organisers could be held responsible.. And we have the insurance so we may as well use it! :D

ok guys, just wanted to bump this up and see if there's any more interest from the Canberra crew..

Basically at this stage we're looking at leaving on Friday 16th at 5-ish (exact time TBA!!!)

Staying overnight at Windsor (see Niks first post for link)...this place is cheap, around $100..

Cruise meeting point is just down the road - cruise departs at 10.30am.

After some "fun" driving and lunch you can do what you want...go back home to Canberra or stay o'night in sydney.

I'm going to book the Windsor place in the next couple of days....I can book for others as well, but you must be a definate!! If you're not sure you can do your own booking when you know if you're coming...but just a warning, there's not a huge choice of accommodation out there if this place is all booked up..

This cruise is heaps of fun and I think you should all come :D

Yep, I booked our rooms a few weeks back and it was $80 per room (the ones we stayed in last year Shell with the funky smell :cheers:)

This is an -awesome- cruise. For those that like twisty roads, picture macquarie pass but about 100 times better and 100 times longer (not as steep, but nice wide windy road through rain forrest).

If you have the weekend off id definately reccomend coming up, so far we have myself, ewen, mark, cassi and shell + 1.

Shell, do you want to meet up at say shell exhibition park at 5:30PM? I dont think Mark is able to get off early, so we will be leaving late too :D

Frink, more than welcome to cruise up with us :D

hey Frink...yep 5.30pm leave...I'm picking my friend up from O'conner at quarter past so I'll be there pretty much right on time.

You can go earlier if you want but i don't think anyone will be there till closer to 5.30pm :(

Jayce..sorry to hear you guys can't make it :)

yknow if the 30th is on Saturday night you could still make it back to Canberra on time ;)

well, its 10.30am and the cruise is about to start. i wish i was there and not going to a boring party, which i cant get out of.

bugger.....

however, the cruise up was great. it was raining from about goulburn up and it was a scarey moment when my hicas light came on after hitting a bump and loosing traction at about 140! kept you on your toes and certainly wasnt a dull trip. im sure the others will agree.

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
