Hello everyone.

Below follows the proposed cruise from Loftus Tafe, to Mittagong RSL.

The date is yet to be announced, but we are looking at around late june/early july. Planned for a sunday, saturday on popular request.

10 am start, proposed arrival inbetween 1-2 pm depending on traffic, stops, etc.

Map URL: https://goo.gl/maps/yxEb0

The cruise will begin at Loftus tafe, or simular location, and then head to Wollongong via The National Park and Stanwell Tops. There will be an attempted photo stop at Stanwell Tops lookout, depending on the amount of attendance on the day. From stanwell tops, we will be taking the seacliffe bridge coast road until Bulli/Woonoona, where we will then take the freeway to Albion Park in preperation for Maquarie pass.

There will be a fuel/drinks/toilet stop at Yallah shell service station for those that require it, whilst the rest of the group will wait on the outskirts of Albion Park. There will be a second availability for fuel at Robertsons Enhance station, however their site is small and their premium is laced with E10 ( I use it, haven't had a problem yet). Please let us know on the day if you believe you will be fueling up at Robertson.

From Albion park it will be a straight run up the pass, till sheepwash road, and then directly through the Bowral bypass into Mittagong, hanging a left at the mcdonalds before parking at the RSL.

Unfortunately, the southern highlands has limited area's that can accomodate a large group of car's, thus prompting the RSL as the final stop, as they have ample parking and decent facilities for a nice chilled afternoon. If this cruise blows out past 40 cars, which would honestly be amazing, there is ample parking at a marketplace underground parking a short walk from the RSL. From Mittagong, it is a simple matter of heading north before you are back on the Hume HWY and towards Sydney/Picton road for the coast people. With the RSL, obviously certain dress code's apply,as I am sure you are aware of. ( Singlets, thongs etc.)

If the attendance isnt too high, ( 10 cars ) Berrima Pub will be the back up location for a more personal end to the day.

Photographers are more than welcome, and we have some good idea's on the day to make use of you.

This cruise will have a recon day with cruise organisers 2-3 weeks ahead of time, and this post will be updated with a fixed date with the same amount of notice.

Another obvious note, this cruise will be driven under SAU guidelines, any anti-social behaviour will not be tolerated. We all enjoy enough attention from HWP as it is.

Hoping for a dominate Nissan day, but obviously all makes are welcome. The more the better.

Any further questions please feel free to PM myself,

Thanks and looking forward to this big time,

Josh.

Thats really bizarre, Mine doesnt show tourist road. Just assume that we are NOT taking tourist road, obviously that road is no where near acceptable for lowered cars at the end.

hi Josh,

As spoken - would love to be part of set up of this cruise :yes: :yes: - so that i learn new roads here and also so that i can act as a sweeper on the main day it self - to sweep any lost cars back to location

Will be interesting - please do keep me informed and i will do my best to try and arrange the time to do the drive with you :yes: :yes:

Cheers!

On the day I'll be shooting ahead of everyone through the nasho and mac pass to take shots so anyone else interested in doing this to let me know.

Also I'll be the trail car cause of this

Fyi, apart from what Owen noted on your map, if you just follow the Illawarra highway to sheep wash road, then don't bother with a recon. I'm on all of those roads all the time and wouldn't have a worry with any lowered cars on it.

nasho has a few bumps, but nothing catastrophic like it used to. Its actually quite smooth through there ib contrast to days gone by. Be aware though, there will be plenty of people using those roads during the day at lower than the speed limit, including push bike riders

No, your right, robertson to bowral is my local area and the roads arent bad at all.

the recon is more for photo stops, rather than the actual condition of the roads. And for desmond to come for a social trip heh.

I am unsure why the google map is diverting through tourist road, on my screen i clearly have it going through robertson, otherwise why mention robertson at all heh. Im sure the rest of the map is sufficent for people to have the gist of the route, i hope.

Along with a proper briefing at the commencement, this is HOW cruises should be run. A credit to you.

Unfortunately I'll still be rocking the stockies for this, my new wheels will still be out on a boat in the middle of the North Pacific Ocean (or at least the Coral Sea) somewhere between here and Japan :(

    • Just had a look, they don't. Fuelling on the base map is purely alpha-N, and the ignition table is MAP. Remember it's just a base map to get the car moving  
    • Hi everyone, I’m Dave from Canberra. Here's a few pics of my 1992 R32 GTST coupe which I imported back in 2006. Only mods so far are HKS Hi-power cat back exhaust, K&N filter, ATC Volanti steering wheel, Pioneer stereo, amp and sub. This was my daily driver up until 2015 and sadly hasn’t been driven at all in the last 5 years due to marriage, work, and kids taking up most of my time and spare cash.As such its in need of a bit of TLC and one of my goals for this year is to get it back to running condition and maybe look into club/historic rego. I’ve joined SAU so I can ask a few questions along the way (although I promise to google Current Problem +SAU beforehand!)
    • From talking to the mx5 guys the NC doesn't actually need bonnet vents like the earlier NA and NB models, due to a better designed cooling system and undertray design There's plenty of them used as street cars and weekend track toys running anywhere from around 170 to 250kw with stock non vented bonnets, I initially was going to get some bonnet vents, but, as they are not actually required, I'll put vents on hold for a while and just monitor temps, though I do need to get something to actually monitor engine oil temps though, coolant temp can be pulled from the OBD2, but the oil gauge in the car is not actual oil temp, it is only a calculation based off coolant temp and RPM ☹️ They do recommend upgrading the radiator, which I have already done with a triple pass, and the only other thing they recommend for a street car is heat management, like I talked about above to protect bits in the engine bay from radiant heat, and to either replace the nearly 20 year old plastic coolant expansion tank, which I have done, or get a aftermarket alloy jobbie for some bling They did also say that if I wanted to track the car on occasion a oil cooler and sump baffle would be required, and as I already have had a sump baffle installed when the engine was out......... I'm going to get a oil cooler with a thermostat....... just in case I do eventually track the car, but probably not, but still maybe...🤪
