What a cruise! Lots of highlights, here are some of the photos. You can see some more on flickr https://www.flickr.com/photos/114247084@N04/

One of the highlights was seeing the worlds largest Sundial. Amazing sculpture at the Halfway Roadhouse, with a massive turnout for the day.

Can't wait for the next cruise which the SAUNSW Team already have in the pipeline!

Awesome photos! I saw you on the side of the road as we left the Truck Stop and super stoked you got a nice shot of my car despite it's deformities! :worship:

Really enjoyed the day - thanks to the organisers and all the participants. I had to get out of the Royal Hotel soon after smashing down a massive Schnitty to meet a family obligation at 4pm. Did ok for traffic but copped the hail soon after coming off the F3 and had zero visibility by Gordon!

Can still taste the E85 coming out the back of Mick's beast 34 - got quite used to it after the first 20kms!

Cheers to the photographers too.

Merry Christmas all!

Thanks to all involved in organising such a good cruise - it was good to catch up with everyone before Christmas.

We made the decision to go home by the Putty Road and managed to get caught in the middle of the storm - much excitement ! ! !

There was that much water over the road that anything above 2 grand and the car just broke into wheel spin and at the worst of it we were doing 40 km and could not see enough to do any more.

The water was that deep that the mags on my car have flow marks that reflect where the water was going through the spokes - we were thinking that we should have brought the Hilux instead of a Skyline.

We were very pleased to see the relative safety of Windsor compared to where we had been.

Thanks to everyone who brought their cameras and took some great pictures.

I must have hit a rock, It sounded like something f**ked something in the rear passenger wheel...

It squealed like a pig all the way down the ridge. when i Finally found a place to stop, I took the wheel off & break pads out and it was a horrid grinding noise. the dust plate thingy looked a little bent so gave it a whack to move it away from the break rotor. nope still grinding and crunching away.

decided to just limp it home so put pads back in & wheel back on...2 metres of grinding and it stopped..... FIXED!!!! I managed to drive all the way home home no issue as well as to and from work today with no issues.

thanks to Cieran for stopping with me & thank god we didn't get any rain while messing about.

this car and its weird disappearing issues... no idea.

Hey guys, being my first SAU NSW to be involved in, I thought it was a great day. Although I'm more of a track dude than a cruise dude, I hadn't driven putty before so I'm pretty pleased with how it all went. Look forward to seeing some familiar faces on the next one now.

Cheers,

Jacko.

    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
    • Twas your car many moons ago that gave me the idea!
    • Forgot to mention. I love the fact that Greg, Gregged Up, the model of his car, that has so many gregged up stories about its build! I had to have a little laugh. At the same time thinking "That's the sort of thing I'd do to myself!"
    • Not yet, might end up being easter now, didn't end up getting time off over xmas.    I've been seeing some concerning things online now too. Lots of people with issues, could all be setup issues but the consequences in some cases are significant.    All of the below are other peoples stories, not mine and are unverified.  Seen 2 x broken adapter ring that destroyed the gearbox as it failed.   They still do seem to have twin plate rattle despite claims of silent. Several issues with it not holding power but some evidence of constant pressure on plate. Setup issues with bite point.   Lot of people after 2-4 weeks swapping back to another brand.    On the positive side, I've seen a barra put down near 1000hp at the wheels and its held it.  Also everyone seems to confirm the pedal is light.    Does have me a little cautious and looking at ATS carbon clutches again .......        
    • I'm late to the party on this one but good to see common sense has prevailed and the turbo kit is coming.
