Hey there Newy guys (and hopefully girls)!

I've been seeing more and more of you around of late, so if theres some new people around introduce yourself here and help us plan another trip out and about.

I figure it's high time we had another cruise/meet-up since the last one was in April.

Also, its daylight savings and we can take advantage of this great whether and meet some of the newer owners around Newcastle these days.

So, we need:

Ideas on locations to cruise from/to

Dates that are good for the majority

And other stuff you can think of

I was thinking somewhere like Speers Point park or on the lake somewhere for meet-up thats good for photos.

And if I get off my arse and actually pay some money to the gods of SAU:NSW, then I may even do some actual planning and make it somewhat official and good. :D

I'm not entirely sure now.

At the last one we had 15 at the meet-up, and about 10 of us went on the mini cruise.

But as I said, I've seen a lot more 'lines around lately that weren't here before, so I think if we can put some effort into organisation rather then something planned on the spur of the moment we may be able to draw a few more of these guys out of the woodwork and hopefully introduce some new people to SAU if they didn't know about it previously.

BTW, whilst I'm fairly adept at organising large events for people, I'd appreciate it greatly of any of the gods of SAU:NSW could let me know if theres any special things I need to be aware of.

And some help from one or two of you other Newy boys would be great too.

I would really like to get a decent amount of things happening for us up here, as everything else seems to go on south of the central coast.

first thing you would probably want to do if we are going to have a really big turn out would be to inform the police oif where we are going. Just common courtesy so nothing happens when a huge amount of cars suddenly show up some where :D And im sure they would appreciate us letting them now.

Awesome idea. Thanks to Ian for creating this thread.

But can i request that we leave it till after Dec 11th? As that is when i get my licence back. And well..... you guys just wouldnt have as much fun without me getting lost - making wrong turns - and undertaking the whole pack :)

If we could leave it till then - get a months orgnaisation happening wtc - Get a meetup and take BBQ to make it a really good FULL long day. I think thats what we lacked at teh last newy cruise to the Central Coast. A BBQ. We had fun but we needed somethign to centre around and we needed deck chairs too.

I'd like to meetup get to know the Sydney skyline guys/girls that are keen to travel up this way too. Once we get to fully know you, then i could give you a bell each time im in sydney to go for a cruise or whatever.

The idea of starting a cruise to a venue to have a BBQ, then cruise back to a city and lurk around inner city streets driving past hotspots sounds good to me. For example - how we went for teh highway cruise to teh Haven, then came back and went through Newcastle city then along teh Foreshore. It looked mad when you see the look of awe on all the foreshore commodore loosers ;)

Keep me informed with the events coming up guys. And if you do decide to go before 11th Dec, then ill bum a ride of Dean or Ian or whoever can handle my astonishingly bad navigational traits :P

-Dave.

Man you guys type long replies... but that's good, shows dedication and lots of effort in organizing.

Now come on, as I've said in the Sydney cruise-starter thread... less talk, more action!

Yeah, I was thinking around then Dave, just to give us enough time to organise a good spot and let some people have some time to figure out what they wanna do.

Plus, its way more likely to have a sunny day then, which means good light for photos

Hey all,

I Just thought i'd add my 2cents.

Just about 2 years ago I started going out with a girl who lives in Newcastle. For the first few months that I was heading up there I hardly EVER saw a GTR let alone even a GTST. But lately there's definitely been a big increase which is good to see..cos there's still plenty of bogan commo's up there etc (no offence intended).

I was at the meet up in April, but not in my car cos it was off the road. I met a few of you guys and without saying too much as to what car I had everyone was very willing to have a chat abut their cars and what not :P

So basically giving you guys a good rap and if im up that way when this meet up is on i'll come and say g'day..

Ease up a minute - i dont get it back untill the 11th of December. WHich happens to be a sunday. So i'd only be able to make it from that monday onwards. Eg: 19th/20th pre-xmas cruise would be needed :) We could wear santa hats or something completely gnarly. (Im thinkin of ideas for places to drive to the bbq too)

OK then - date set on 18th Decemeber.

Be good to see you again GRUNTN :)

I personally agree with not telling the police about the cruise. We aren't doing anything wrong.

So i don't see the justification of telling them that we are going to drive our cars... - it shouldn't matter.

Hopefully we get some clear weather for the day too. (Someone want to start a new thread with the info?)

      Big Brake Kit for ECR33

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      What are you doing with the car? Drags, sprints, racing? A decent upgrade of dba 4000 rotors, good quality pads (endless, project mu, intima are all I have used), quality fluid and braided lines. All have held up to multiple big track days and street duties. No need for big fancy kits as some also require significant energy to come upto operating temp. Look at 350z caliper and rotor upgrade too.  @Dose Pipe Sutututu comment on them and did a good write up.

      MLR's Bogan cruise ship

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      I've driven that one and it's a great deal and drives nice. The owner definitely treats it right on track. You would have gotten it for what you paid for this one too.   Keen to see what you do to this one.

      Front Tyres on R34 GTR, fitment, etc, *question*

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I have a question with regards to R34 GTR guards. All the info here is quite old. Useful, but old. At what point does the bumper itself become a clearance issue with wide wheels on a R34 GTR, specifically the part I've drawn in red here: All of the info that people post about implies that 285 is as far as you'd go before scrubbing becomes an issue, but they speak of hitting the inner plastic liners, not the bumper itself. Just how wide could you go if you took the liners out? Has anyone done it? I have been messing with my own car and spacers and heavily cursed my lack of planning, but I might not feel so bad if there's actually no gains to be had by going a GTR guard and front bar combination for $5k+ of money I do not have after spending about that much already on my solution which now has problems. (Woo) At least I now know why GTR guards and bumpers flare out like this over their GTT lesser cousins. I feel that in 2024, someone has gone further and attempted to run 315's or somesuch on the front of a R34 GTR. If you have, please post. If you're tried and failed for some other reason definitely post so I feel better about my mistakes

      URAS Type R R34 GT GTT Widebody Front Guards

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Genuine URAS Type R front guards in FRP. These will fit a GTT. They will only fit a GTT. If you have a GT or GTT and want wider fenders with a Z tune look up top, this is what you want. You use this with a regular GTT fitment bar. Not a GTR bar. They fit GTT guard liners and plastics, not GTR items. So if you're reading this thinking "Ah! I have a GTT or GT and want wider front guards that bolt directly on, but do not want the hassle of changing my bonnet and bumper and plastics and undertrays or anything else, this is what you want. The fitment is annoyingly perfect. I really would rather someone pick these up in person and not ship them. SE Melb.
