Hey All,

I have decided that I will organise a cruise up the putty road for the first Sunday in November.

This cruise will be a nice gental cruise as many haven't been up this road before and there are some quite twisty sections that could see someone come unstuck.

Please note that the most common legal speed sign along this road reads 100km/h, so it won't be a boring cruise at all.

I have some suggested meeting locations listed in the poll, however if the 6c option is selected then could someone please put their hand up to be a coordinator at this location.

The putty road will take approximatly a full day to complete both directions, so it is advisable to bring a passenger too keep you company. I will be planning a stop approximatly every two hours though to streatch legs etc.

I have done the trip up this road and back and had plenty of fuel to spare from a full tank, in fact I was even able to keep going to the Hunter Valley and drive around there for 3 days on the same tank!

Please post up who is interestered so I can work out more specific details.

Cheers,

Dan.

Ed,

I did think of that but wasn't sure due to it being a different to usual and a fair way off the beaten track (M4) meeting location.

Seeing as this has been surggested then we will make the meet at Windsor/Mcgraths hill Macca's on windsor road. (This means that I can still come down through Springwood rd!)

Silver,

As always the more the merrier.

Dan.

Ed,

Your right.

I just noticed that you are from orange. I was out there last weekend. I'll actually be there again in a few weeks. Maybe we can catch up for a beer next time I come out.

hey Dan

cruise sounds good!...trouble is, I'll only be getting back from QLD/Indy earlier in the week. So I'll most likely have no money left :D and will be wanting to spend the weekend at home after 10 days up there.

OR I might just be hanging out to take my car for a drive LOL :)

hmmmm, I think I'll have to say probably not...but if things change I'll find somewhere to stay and come up :)

Okay.

Is this the road to Singleton ?

If it is...how do you manage that on one tank ??? Its like 160km's each way.

I did the road Solo on Sunday arvo and I can persoanlly vouch for it...It would have to the most awsome piece of road I have ever driven on...nice long straights and super twisty stuff (kind of like a freeway with 3 or 4 Nasho parks join at intervals!

It's very very fast, the cars will be able to run clean out there. But make sure your tank is full, esp if you tend to high rev in the twisty parts.

Probably not a good night course as there was alot of road kill around, and a kangeroo hit at high speed is going to hurt the car alot.

I didn't see any cops around at all, but i would assume they patrol it heavily.

It's very easy to lose control and get into the high 100's without too much thought, so more expirenced driver should go first. This is one cruise which would need a strict protocol..For safety reasons I think we need to get someone to lead straight off and dictate the pace, and everyone to be orderly....If your wanting to go flat out, go another time by yourself solo..you'll enjoy it alot more...speeding on a cruise is just showing off..in my opinon.

Things I would suggest :

Check your brakes/fluid or upgrade to non-fade pads.

Check tyres

Bring water

Be good if someone could bring a CB, just in case.

check your car...its going to kill if you need a tow.

Theres a halfway point service station/food place which would be a mantory stop...it has PULP (phhheewwwwww!!!!...almost had to cruise slowly back..) too...which was good!!!

Remember we won't be the only people out there when it happens....please! please! - if you want to take racing lines, do it at the track.

I saw alot of 4WD's and bikers so use caution to both.

Have fun......Sorry if I sounded like a tool, but I can see the excitment in this road, and that can lead to hellva lot of danger for Schmie wannabe's

I think most importantly, if you enjoy flatout driving, learn the road on the cruise and go out late on a weekday night BY YOURSELF or just one more car.....just watch out for the wildlife.

Shell,

Well I'm sure that one day we shall meet... but this is an awesome road and is a must do... would be a shame for you to miss out.

Dino,

Would be good to have you along... and work on a Sunday... is this not blasfmey in the bible? Sunday is a day of rest (Skyline's excluded)

Peak,

Yep, this road will lead you to singleton alright!

It is easy to make it there and back on one tank... break your foot and let your girlfriend drive there (taking notes of the tight sections) and only use a 1/4 tank. Then tell her that you don't care about your foot... it doesn't hurt anyway (drive through the pain and spend almost every drop of the 3/4 that you have left!!!). The other option is to keep it out of the "peak RPM" range if you'll pardon the pun.

Carlo,

The road is a public road that streatches through the middle of knowwhere, it has some good and bad spots, but no dirt and mostly a 100kph speed limit.

All,

Peak has outlined some important points. As I have mentioned before, this cruise is intended to be just that. It is an oportunity for us as a club to get together and enjoy our great company, mechines, and of course a section of road that the RTA got right! This is a cruise that takes all day. now for all those that want to race up and down it I would like you to think of this. The average F1 race lasts 1 and 3/4 hours and this is the average time of a motor race... any longer than this and you end up having multiple drivers. Now the boys and girls that compete in such events are fit and do this for a job... ie they are PROFESSIONALS. Micheal Schumacher aside, they all always come out of the car dripping in sweat and are warn out.

If there arn't too many people coming then I will lead the pack at reasonable pace (ie at the speed limit or maybe 5 kph more). I will hopefully be able to get hold of a CB by then. I will try to get someone else with a CB to run at rear gunner just in case of any mishaps. If many people attend then we might let those that know the track go on ahead and I'll lead a slower group after them.

I hope that this has cleared up a few issues and I can't wait for this one baby!

Cheers,

Dan.

      JDM R35 Bought at Japanese Auction

      Having not watched the videos, I'm unsure, but this may be better suited to the importing thread?

      R34 GTT RB rough idle problem with weird RPM gauge fluctuations

      By Joni Boi · Posted

      Update on this situation: (Forgot to put in my previous post that I bought another brand new pressure gauge and fuel shows the same 50psi) I've deleted all the aftermarket immobilizers and turbo timer shyt and placed all factory wiring back to normal. The problem is still the same and nothing changed, but atleast it's a bit more tidier under the steering wheel. I've also siphoned out all the old fuel and then poured new batch of BP98 fuel (about 15L) into the tank. Nothing changed. Still the same idle. I also changed out the MAP vac line with a new one and, still the same.  So 2 days ago, I thought fk it. I'll just change out the fuel rail and injectors with another set that I know worked well in my brother's R34 a while back. That other fuel rail has the exact same Xspurt 640cc as what I have right now. So I changed it out to that other fuel rail and injectors (new O-rings) and injector harness. Put everything back together, started the engine, 464906286_1624569924763105_5179888796065901094_n.mp4   and yeah... still the same 50psi and idle problem. 🫠 I can also hear each of injector's solenoids running when I put a screw driver to it and have the other end to my ear. I might get a noid light just to confirm pulsasion but yeah, very strange that both fuel rails and injectors put out 50psi.  31-10-2024.csv I've attached it here. I started recording, then started the engine and let it idle with no throttle, then at the end I applied a little throttle and then stopped recording.    So, now idk. I'm going to see if swapping out the brand new R35 coils to my old splits fires will change anything. 🤷‍♂️

      Hey mate, nice work on the car. Just a quick note, people generally don't like it when you use the forums to dump and run to advertise your YouTube content. If you're gonna stick around and join in the conversation then great, but if not this might not be the best place for you.

      JDM R35 Bought at Japanese Auction

      By 70RTY · Posted

      Hi all,   I have bought a JDM R35 at auction in Japan.  This is my second JDM GTR after owning one back in 2009.  I have made a couple of videos that may interest some forum members.  One is collecting the GTR from the compliance shop (and seeing it for the first time) and another on the process of buying and importing a car from Japan.  I'm new to this and would appreciate your thoughts, as well as a subscribe!
