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!

    • That's f**ked up. I'd guess it's more likely that you have an entire S13 subframe in there. Does it still have HICAS mounting points? Seeing as it is quite possible that yours is the only such converted car in the world, you'll probably struggle to find someone who can tell you from direct experience. 'Twere I you, I'd be looking for 4 stud Skyline rear brakes and convert back. At a minimum. Preferably go find all the stuff you need to put it back to 5 stud (assuming you're happy to change wheels) and upgrade to some decent brakes. You don't even need much stock stuff. Don't need calipers or rotors, as you can go fully aftermarket. Just needs hubs and the other bits and bobs that are different to what you have now.
    • The engine has nothing to do with it. The physical space behind the headlight is the limiting factor. And the height. The height of the NS70 is the same as stock. So the clamp bar across the top goes on nice. The battery tray is big enough for it to sit on. The X is for extra capacity - it has even more lead in it than the non-X NS70. Heavy f**ker. But it's not a track car, so I will suffer a couple of extra kg. In the case of the R34, maybe the physical space there is not as deep (forward-backward, not up down). Hence why they say the 60 is the biggest. But I would never trust a catalogue to tell me what will fit. I have the car. I have the existing battery. I have the tape measure. I have the dimensions of all the available batteries. I find the biggest box that will go in. (With the right terminals in the right places, of course).  
    • Hello! I have been having a hard time finding the answer to this question… I have a R32 GTS-T Sedan than has been 4 lug swapped using S13 hubs, rotors, and brakes. The front has also been converted to S13 suspension.    When the swap was completed, the handbrake cables were never hooked up, as the S13 rear calipers are the “handbrake”, and not the typical drum on rotor that the R chassis are. Does anyone know handbrake cables that will work for this conversion? I’d like to not use a hydraulic handbrake and stick with the traditional cable style. My original thoughts were to go with S14 cables and try to make them work, since I’m pretty sure S13 cables will be too short.    Any help would be appreciated!
    • I did some research, considering you have a neo engine, how is that battery compatible? I checked centuries website and super cheap and says it's not compatible. Only this full size one is. https://www.centurybatteries.com.au/products/ns60-mf
    • No, lets be honest here. I went to Winton and did a track day, for all the mods and V8 power and craziness I posted up a time that a K24 stock motor Honda Accord can do on the same tyres (narrower, too) 250kw and learning how to drive the f**kin thing is the sweet spot.
