We will meet at McDonald's / KFC on Windsor road and from there will head onto Putty Road.

 

There will be a break at the Halfway Truck Stop which we should reach at approximately 11:30am.

 

For all the Newcastle folks this will be a good point to join up.

 

From here we will continue on to Singleton for lunch.

 

 

Please remember to fill up prior to heading onto Putty Road. There will not be a fuel stop until Singleton.

 

At Singleton there is a range of servo's available including BP, Shell and Caltex.

 

 

 

There will be a lead and follow car so no one should get lost.

 

We will also be bringing along walkie talkies to keep the group together so if you have one please bring it along.

 

If you would like to attend or bring others along please put your name down and a +1 as numbers will be needed prior!

 

 

This is NOT a race and we will all be adhering to all road rules. If this is what you want please come to one of our many track days.

 

 

This is an official SAU:NSW event and will be run under a CAMS permit.

 

 

One of the things that really sets our club apart is our commitment to being true enthusiasts. When on normal roads we strive to maintain good relations with the authorities as well as the public in general.

When attending one of Skylines Australia NSW events please try to:

• Be aware of surrounding environment and act accordingly.
• Drive courteously on the state’s roads as a true enthusiast should.
• Understand how important it is to maintain the good name of SAU:NSW and thus, treat others accordingly.

• Any misbehaviour will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave.

 

 

Thanks guys and hope to see you there!

The bride and I will be there in GTRWGN (Nissan Stagea 260RS).

Any Newcastle/Hunter Valley people are welcome to join us. We will leave Singleton at 10.30am. We will meet behind the shopping centre in Ryan Avenue near the big sundial. The same spot we've met up for this cruise for the last few years.

Hope to see a few of ya's. It'd be great to have a decent convoy to drive down to the Halfway Roadhouse to meet the main mob.

This is always an excellent day out and a great opportunity to drive one of the best damn roads in the state!

May I also suggest to the organisers that you use York St from John Street in Singleton. As last year we all went up Hunter Street straight past the police station. Which the boys in blue came out for a look and patrolled around The Royal hotel. There's also no traffic lights at the end of Hunter Street making it absolute chaos trying to get +50 Skylines through town.

If we use York St, it has traffic lights at the end of it to aid in turning left onto New England highway and it's blocks away from the police station. 7b45801172002487d423c1045e90554d.jpg

Either that. Or drive the entire length of John Street and go into the Royal hotel via the back streets.

This is probably the best idea, as turning right from the New England Highway to the Royal can take ages due to oncoming traffic.

It's definitely worth mentioning that NSW HWP are targeting The Putty Road heavily now; they are hiding in the bushes in full Camouflage fatigues, and using Polair helicopters.

Ya fookin joking ain't ya? First time I've ever heard of that and I live in Singleton at the end of Putty Road. I travel it frequently and rarely see a police car on its entire length to Windsor. [emoji15]

Some friends were at the Blue Gum Cafe on bikes last week, and there were 2 HWP cars with 4 police officers in Auscam fatigues.

They blitz the area every spring and summer, last year it was handing out defects to riders for aftermarket exhausts and tail tidies without reflectors.

This is the new trick.

    • 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
