Bring on the pics!

Tremendous to see a good complement of R32s + R33s + R34s. I've not seen parity like this before.

More importantly...

The people! Gemma invites some really nice people. Enthusiasts - all!

The route...

Macquarie Pass is always a bit testy - even more so with wet leaves, wet tarmac, or trucks coming downhill negotiating left handers

Additional route...

Jamberoo Pass deserves respect - narrow bits, crumbling corners, sagging shoulders - but massive fun when the road is clear ahead

The future...

SAU is already organising several events this year - yes cruises too - to places we've not been to before.

Great drive today guys! This was my first "official" cruise too (and this is especially bad considering I've had the car nearly 6 years.. - look at my join date!!). I was the guy who brought the charcoal stocker :) Getting it buffed and detailed next weekend so should look substantially better next time!

Really enjoyed the twisties, especially down Jamberoo Rd. Macquarie Pass was very slow as we were stuck behind a bus though :(

Also good to actually meet some of the people from the forums too.

Will definitely come on another one! Just seen the Putty Rd cruise - might give that one a go but it's pretty long... probably won't have any tyres left after that...

Thanks for organising Gemma! Hope we can do another one soon!

Thanks for organising a very enjoyable cruise Gemma. Perfect weather and a great drive.

Good to catch up again Terry, and to meet a lot of great folks. Bring on the next cruise! :thumbsup:

Now that Paul & I are friends, we can swap wings, right? :P

Matt has some pics coming up soon, when there's enough time - and thanks Al.

And Owen, you saw me in the lead eh?

Going up Mt Keira was also a good add-on - even though I was detained at first; 'er lost. >_<

Awesome photos, Matt! There are quite a few in there you should put in the July photo thread.

Nick - thanks for the feedback mate. :thumbsup:

Yep - decals. Moelders' GT-R is a rare sight and looked great on the day. The blue and white is a great combo.

Steve's GT-R from Steve's Auto Barn in the Blue Mountains has a similar look:

      Is this pressure plate warped? And do I need a new one?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Pretty simple question. I was about to put the transmission back in and thought I pretty much had it lined up when I noticed it seems like the pressure plate isn't flat. I was pretty careful when undoing the bolts both during initial disassembly for cleaning and when torquing them up for installation so this is pretty discouraging. I'm not sure if I accidentally bumped the pressure plate with the input shaft and bent it somehow or if it just showed up this way. Is it possible that there's just something obvious I'm not doing correctly? I'm pretty sure I was extremely careful to make sure the friction discs were seated correctly in the hub, everything lined up, flywheel torqued according to sequence, the little springs all sitting correctly in their seats, etc.  What's the play here? Do I jump straight to a new pressure plate?

      OK. I can see that being the case. But if you live in the land of "only switching between 4.08, 4.11, 4.36" like most Skyliners, then you never encounter it. Now I perhaps understand why the crownwheel is thicker on some of the smaller numerical ratio diffs. The two stubs being the same (unequal) lengths and just swapped side to side between the different cases is a new one to me. I'm hating Nissan R200s more than ever now.

      RB gearbox options

      By Butters · Posted

      Reason I say this is I have seen broken ones, in drift, drag and even behind a stock Z. I do appreciate most of the time its the synchro's that go.   Trouble with quoting HP is it doesn't really say how strong the box is.  I've not seen many CD00X box's make it past a mid 9(150mph) I have seen about a stock R33 RB25 box's run a 9 too, they all go boom at some point though.   Another clue is they make gearsets for CD00X box's too, wouldn't be a market if they didn't break or have a limit people are going past.   I totally agree it is a strong box, just have to weigh up the true total cost of the conversion vs rebuilding with a good gearset.

      What makes you say CD009 boxes are not as strong as you would think? I've always been told the last revision (CD00A) is good for 1000whp and I have no issue's believing it when comparing one side by side with an RB25 box. Makes them look tiny.

      I picked up an open Center with shafts. I was told the Open shafts will fit a mechanical LSD and looking at them. I think they will work. Will update
