  1. Hahaha id love to give it a go, Its an unreal little bit of windy road that one. Jenolan caves road is also a lot of fun, went down with the missus once in the r33, which was actually a bad idea, she doesnt approve of how i drive sometimes didnt get to make the most of it! I think the road into megalong valley in Blackheath is also really nice, minus the excessively windy bit at the top which i smashed my front lip on . The newly sealed part is excellent though!
  2. Had an awesome day, minus smashing my front bar coming down the twisty part into megalong, apparently did that a little too quickly Coming back up was even more fun, that part thats all new road is unreal, nice and twisty but can still see far enough ahead to have some fun one day im going to bring a clean car to a cruise always makes me feel bad seeing everyone elses pristine cars haha, i always run out of time!
  3. Potentially some interesting weather haha, currently snowing up here atm, lets hope we don't get that on the weekend! Could make the drive a bit errrr interesting
  4. Will definitely be in! Its a great drive! Also misses lives about 10 mins away from the ending destination works well Will be bringing the 180sx! Sold my skyline last night :'( will be greatly missed!
  5. Ahhh i was in the black on black 180sx so understandable if i wasn't included haha, line wasnt coming out this time, its getting sold ! I would much rather be associated with you guys though, Its a whole different atmosphere/attitude to some of the 'other' groups I was just following lu57in upfront cos hes the only person i actually know, he was able to look after me make sure i didnt get lost haha!
  6. I think that's a brilliant idea, I wouldn't mind going in either first/last 3 either, now ive got an engineers certificate for all mods i think i will actually enjoy throwing it in their face (politely) if i get pulled over haha! By the way i have no idea who you are by face but your car was looking truly amazing!! Goes for a lot of people actually, cars are familiar nfi who actually own them!!!
  7. Was a nice day minus p platers in commodores...... I didnt realise how dirty my car was haha captured nicely in one of the photo's (the black 180sx) Was an enjoyable day though! Sorry to hear about anyone who got defected !
  8. Oh the peace of mind of having an engineers certificate haha. Hopefully my days of defects are over! I would be really interested in bringing my 180sx along for the cruise I live in the mountains so would come to Hawkesbury lookout as well as its on the way home You'll all have to come say hello and be friendly though as i wont know anyone else
  9. I took my skyline down last year and drove it to the slopes 5 days in a row, i completely forgot about the chains rule and didn't have them. Wasn't an issue, gotta look out for the black ice though, problem is you cant see it, you'll know it when you hit it though. Just be sensible/don't be overly cocky and work your way up to it I had no trouble though it was a NA r33, handled it all very well. something with more power would probably be a bit more of an issue, i just bought a 180sx and i nearly lost it in the wet the other day :S Still not used to the turbo haha. Wouldn't want to take it to the snow........... yet
  10. Grey r34 with the SAU sticker on the back window, on Great Western, Was behind you/passed you from like Faulconbridge-> Warimoo I was in the black 180sx running late for work
  11. Thanks for all the replies! I guess looks like ill be getting a mechanic to look over it....anyone know a good mechanic in Sutherland are haha? I will definitely swap the plates, i had never thought about the points raised. Seems definitely worthwhile! Hoping so much the bodywork is straight, planning to run it till it dies/ i can afford to have some serious fun with mods .
  12. Been looking at purchasing a 32, problem being its defected for noise and emissions. From my experience with my own defects, i know that they're a lot more hassle than what you actually get done for. Just because the noise/emissions could easily be fixed doeesnt mean your out of the water, im guessing to get a blue slip/get it registered a mechanic is going to want to go over all other mods?! Meaning either stripping alot off or getting a engineers certificate? both costly and a big hassle making it not worthwhile. Whats everyone's thoughts on this? I was thinking if serious about it i could get a mechanic to check it out and tell me what id need to do to get it on road again get a quote, then if reasonable get it all done?
  13. Definitely in for this one, never thought id see a SAU even in the Blue mountains haha, somewhat convenient, living in Faulconbridge at the moment. My First SAU event, ill have to see if any mates are interested before i buy tickets but definitely in for the cruise. Just a heads up though about getting into edge carpark at one end there is a kind of decent sized bump, my car scrapes if i hit it straight on, or if i have passengers it i have to take it real slow, and my cars not that low, possibly has something to do with the disgustingly shaped bodykit on it ! But i think there is 2 entrances anyway? i only ever come/go through one. i dont want to put anyone off!
  14. Dunno how relevant or true this now as its dated 2007? but i read this last night and certainly got some amusement out of it http://www.speedingfineconsultants.com/ Pretty much lists your rights and what to do if caught so you can fight it in court, but yeah the interesting part was about what cops ARENT meant to be doing, like that theyre not allowed to set up in a concealed location/on hills/on bend/anywhere that isnt a known blackspot or high risk area and also that the guns arent designed to be used at oncomming traffic? it all sounds too good to be true, anyone elses opinion?
  15. Think ive seen that guy before too, has the massive wing on the back too? I always see it around blaxland/lapstone. I drove down to Penrith tafe from faulconbridge the otherday and drove past 4 people getting pulled over/cops with radar traps set up, 3 on opposite side of the road one on mine. Not a good time to be driving like that in the mountains.
