Just to give everyone a bit of insight into the cruise and the cause...

The venue (which ended up being way to small), was the largest space the organiser could find that was a) Privately owned and b) willling to give access to hundreds of rev-heads.

The cruise, many years ago, used to converge on the lighthouse but outgrew the space - and the cops didnt help when they started closing off the parking lots every anzac day.

This year the police stopped the event from being held at the airport - or on any other public owned property - but conceded to it being held on private land - and its really only due to the charity that the police lay off (in general) on the people who cruised to Albion Park. Thats why there was defecting happening at the lighthouse but generally not on the route to Albion Park. I noticed the cop who was booking people parked on the nature strip - but i believe he was one of few police in Albion park who caused any issues.

The organisers sold 500 SuperCruise stickers (all that were printed), all the proceeds of which will be going to charity.

The cars filled the BP Servo, the backlot, the space around the truck repair and wash centre, and a newly constructed warehouse up the back. They calculated they could fit 500 cars and therefore printed 500 stickers.

Its estimated that over 2000 cars cruised into Wollongong - many going to the lighthouse area not knowing that the new location is Albion Park, and many being forced to park on the princes hwy.

Next year the event will probably be held in the same place, but more parking will be available in the field behind the new warehouse. There is also unconfirmed rumours that there will be some action in the form of dyno events and the like.

      Absolutely this. Yes, except not vacuum hose. Something oil/fuel safe is a better idea.

      Like a Stagea, but not as cool! Hope you have enough garage space for this, or is something going to leave to make way for it?

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      By PranK · Posted

      The new project has arrived. I have wanted one of these for such a long time, well before that meathead Clarkson drove one in Africa. I really wanted an E34 but I have some medical issues that mean I *really* can't bump my head and the lack of airbags in the E34 made it just too big of a risk.  I don't know why I've always liked these older touring BMW's to be honest, but man I love this car. She's been pretty well maintained for her 243k's with what appears to be only a single oil leak at the oil filter housing gasket. It has a bunch of updates including later model bumper and headlights, 7 series billion-way adjustable seats and it came with a few spares and another set of wheels with legal tyres. I got a unregistered car permit from the RTA and drove it back from Canberra on Saturday.                   First cab off the rank is cleaning it up for blue slip. I dont know how picky they'll be but I figured I'd clean the headlights, fix the oil filter housing gasket, replace the speed sensors (throwing errors) and swap the OE wheels (the M Sport wheels have a big chunk out of one of the tyres.) I also need to replace all 6 gas struts - 2 for bonnet, 2 for hatch and 2 for hatch glass. The car tries to eat me whenever i open any of these. My plan for this car; Ultimately, this is a budget car. I can't afford to throw lots at it and its because I have another car that I got this, if something breaks its no big deal. I will just maintain and repair it really. But eventually I want to do a manual conversion. It actually looks pretty straight forward for E39's and the trickiest part will be sourcing the parts.  I do need to replace some suspension arms or bushes because wow, she's a floaty old girl. She's also fantastically slow. Like really, really slow. When pulling back out on to the freeway on Sat after a quick pull over I needed to wait until no cars were visible before going.  Oh, and the guy I bought it from had a gorgeous R31 GTS-X in the garage.

      Do you have a picture? I assume it is a breather for gearbox oil as it expands, it should have a vacuum line run nice and high in the engine bay (R32 GTR has it on a top bellhousing bolt)

      R33 gtst gearbox top barb

      By zigrb30 · Posted

      Hi all, I am putting an r33 gtst gearbox into a VL and have noticed what looks like a vacuum barb on the box (on top in the middle). Suspecting that it's a vacuum line but I'd like to double check, if someone could confirm the function of that would be great. Cheers in advance.
