Will be Attending as well.

Newcastle side.

Last year there was around 10 of us from Newcastle, will there be a Thread to organize that?

Can post one up sure :)

Might need some suggestions with meet locations as not too familiar with the area.

Yes, it's been arranged before that Newie guys arrange or advertise your own rendezvous point so you can reach the Halfway House by 11.30.

(I'm not sure though Chris, that if there's no Exec among them, CAMS coverage is valid only after joining the main convoy).

Would people be interested in going to the Downshift meet in the afternoon after we finish the cruise, Obviously not apart of SAU cruise but thought it could be fun heading over to the event together?

Unsure about the Cams situation.. Is that a problem?

up till the point we have joined the main group, it just means we are "on our own" in a way?

On a couple of former Putty Road cruises there were Execs from the Central Coast so there wasn't an issue.

In 2010-11 there was a deferment of the annual Putty Road cruises due to SAU.NSW running Legends Nights.

And last year, I only got to go 40mins and then stopped to escort a guy with an overheating GTR back to a workshop.

So I should let an Exec answer your enquiry on this occasion.

CAMS insurance coverage is only from the meet point (McDonalds on Groves Ave) to the destination (The Royal Hotel, Singleton). And only if your between the lead and trail car, which will be announced on the day.

Ah, that makes perfect sense. So basically we are on our own till we join you.

Either way, it shouldn't be a problem if everyone takes care and doesn't do anything foolish.

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
