Those that didn't make the trip missed out big time

Great weather and plenty of cars

Was having a ball keeping up with the GTRs till the bike put a stop to that

He will recover in time but both his legs look pretty f**ked at the moment

Lucky to only get away with those injuries I reckon, could have been a lot worse for him

Yeah, our best wishes for the rider too. My mrs was down the bank having a chat to him before the GP and others arrived. Seemed his head, arms and torso look right, but the legs were both shot, hope he's able to keep them. We stayed behind and helped out with traffic for a bit, thanks to everyone who gave a hand. Very lucky man. Met his mate, was a nice fella, said he liked he Stagea, and didn't see many in the uk!

Great cruise overall, great turn out. Felt was it like to have a r35 bearing down on you! :P

Had a good feed at a well chosen venue.

Thanks to the admins for organising, and everyone for making a successful cruise! Let's see pics!

Another great Putty Rd cruise. Well done to SAU:NSW and everyone who attended and behaved.

Also, thank you to the people who stopped and assisted at the bike crash with traffic management (sorry, forgotten your names). They biker's friends were very appreciative. As mentioned above, he was very lucky that it wasn't worse. Thankfully we managed to flag down a doctor, a medic and a nurse who provided assistance until the ambo's arrived.

I missed most of the lunch as a result, but was great to catch up with a few old faces and meet some new ones. I took a few pics whilst a passenger in the ol' Starion :)

Amazing drive, love Putty Road, 1st time... i love that everyone behaved themselves, and choice pick on destination! I told Lisa (one of the contacts at Crowne Plaza) we'll be back there for sure, poor Rachel is off on annual leave & was looking forward to all the cars (must have forgotten about the call 4 weeks ago :ph34r:). A BIG thanx to Google maps & Google earth haha i wouldnt have found that destination otherwise. :P

Thanx to SAU execs incl. Anna & Eric, etc. for allowing me to combine the H.R (High Rolla) Putty Road Cruise with theirs, and for SAU's great organisation, it turned out to work amazing as one complete event :D thanx heaps guys!!

Although JZX100 had some suspension issues today with scrubbing out hard on most of those Putty bumps, which made me take it abit too easy & had no choice but to loose everyone, still had a madd day also had a nice cruise back on the freeway with 2 R32GTR's & 2 R34GTRS & Lambchops (love the uper class sniff from that R32, smelt great lol) :P

Whoslesale Suspension book-in call tomorrow for sure... Chaser needs front raised!

I got in around 7:50 after going home via Golden Highway+Bylong Valley Way.

Thanks to the organisers for a great day. I've lost my virginity and very happy it was on the putty.....

Thanks to those attending the motorcyclist. Great work. Glad he's still alive. Could have been worse what with the armco and those trees.

The Bylong Valley way is a great road but a bit more bumpy than the Putty and narrower. Some great 25km hairpins that I did in 2nd and then blasted in between. It was after 6pm, dark and raining and had of all things a Rav4 up my tail all the way. My car was a bit slippery on the corners and the first time I've done the road. The Rav obviously knew the road and then past me in Rylstone taking a short cut. :angry:

Need to fix the rear suspension now.

Hey, what about the gold coin donation? I didn't have any one to give the money to and didn't see a collection bucket.

    • So.... when I'm finally getting around to having my power steering leak sorted, now it looks like I've got the same issue most A/T Skylines are having. My A/T light will randomly come on and I'm stuck in 3rd gear until I turn the car off and on again. Only 3 weeks ago I did a complete transmission service: Oil flush + new gasket + new filter. This came out of nowhere!! It wasn't like the car was driven hard. I drove about 3 mins down the road to get fuel and boom!!!  Anyway, I have a few questions and hope you fine people can help me out here. All questions are in red. 1. The solenoids: I was looking at the parts catalogue in Amayama and I could only find the Solenoids as an assembly. https://www.amayama.com/en/part/nissan/319404ax05 I read in another thread that Solenoid A = 31940-4AX02 & Solenoid B = 31940-4AX05 but the Amayama product has only the code of B. Is this the right part? Can anyone who has done the Solenoid changes or seen them confirm if this is the complete set of A & B?   2. Gasket and Filter: I'm not going to try change the solenoids myself because it seems difficult to do in a home garage with just 2 jack stands. I plan to take it to a shop and get it changed. I was also going to buy the transmission sump gasket at the same time so I don't reuse the same gasket. Should I just use the existing gasket as it has only been on the car since OCT 19th? (~3 weeks) Should I be buying a brand-new gasket and a filter? Does this job involve taking the filter out?   Thanks in advance to everyone. It's hard to find a video of someone doing a solenoid change on a R34 so any help you can give answering my remaining questions would make me less stressed.
    • Yea - From what I have seen from the video, the car idles like any R34 lol 50PSI of fuel pressure is hardly super abnormal, the regulator is working because the pressure remains static when the throttle gets revved, i.e pressure remains the same when manifold vaccuum changes. Bigger pumps on stock rails always bumped the pressure in the rail without using an aftermarket regulator to change that. Do you know what your IAC is actually doing? Has there been any data showing the stepper motor % etc? There's no way your idle is actually moving around the way the cluster(s) are indicating. You would hear the difference with the engine RPM flying to 3k and 1k in mere seconds. I'd be checking the wiring to the tacho. What the tacho is telling you and what the engine/ecu is telling you are different things. I assume your ECU doesn't display the spike. So whatever is telling the tacho to be at X rpm is doing something weird. When the going gets insane, you're on the wrong path. You've ruled out plenty of things that are working correctly/aren't the issue. Your idle isn't doing what the tacho is indicating. You have two seperate issues, I don't think they are linked, and the idle seems reasonably okay unless it's stalling which.. well, it hasn't. Troubleshoot the stall if it occurs by figuring out what your IAC is doing vs what it is being told to do.
    • So awesome! I love the RB with the exhaust on display.
    • NO HITS PRICE DROP   ENGINE - $8.5k ONO TRANSMISSION - $1.8k ONO  
    • If it has had a code in the recent past, the code should still be there waiting to be read.
