Good drive up macquarie pass
Traffic slowed us down

1) Going up Mac Pass in the lead car, being slowed down was a pain. But I'd slow down to a crawl quite often and then do squirts. If that message didn't filter back through the pack, would you guys like this system to be conveyed at any future briefings?

2) Going down Jamberoo Pass after lunch, the traffic was just as bad but decided that Swamp Rd would be worth the wait and remained patient instead of overtaking only to be caught by radar on straight stretches. This Jamberoo Mountain Rd has now been upgraded with new hotmix tar. It's worth a revisit.

3) Swamp Rd. After going through Jamberoo township, (rather than go back through Albion Pk), there's Swamp Rd on the left (on the road to Kiama). It's worth the run. You can let your car out along there. A combination of straight stretches through farmland interspersed with 25Km right angle turns in 2nd gear followed by more straights. The shoulders are sharp and you need to watch your line. At the northern end, some off camber sweepers are a great test for car and driver. It's just as enjoyable as the two Passes.

It was good to see some new faces & catch up with some familiar ones :). Just a quick mash up of the cruise from my perspective. Cheers!

 

Thanks PJ on behalf of the Club!
Terrific!

Great cruise and day overall, perfect weather as well. Thanks to all who organised and attended.

@GTR-N1 Terry the slow down and squirt message was definitely received, despite the mediocre pace I was still able to get in a few good blasts!

    • 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
