SAUNSW commemorative cruise to Robinson pie shop


Recommended Posts

Howdy Guys & Gals!

As some of you may know, in these past two years, we have have lost some very close friends from within the SAU NSW family. In one way or another, these people have had such a huge impact on the club, making SAU NSW what it is today! Whether being someone who was working behind the scenes, or that familiar smiling face you'd see at every event, these people have fostered SAU NSW into the family we pride ourselves on being. So, to commemorate SAU veterans, like Nick Tuyau and David Hennessy, we'd like you all to join us on this commemorative cruise to Robertson Pie Shop.

Date: Sunday the 15th September

Meet Location: KFC - The Crossroads Casula (Corner of Beech Road and Parkers Farm Place)

Meet Time: Meet at 9:30am for a 10:00am departure

Destination: Robertson Pie Shop

We will meet at KFC at the Crossroads and from here head onto the Hume Highway.

From this we will turn off onto Picton Road and follow this all the way into the Prices Motorway eventually reaching Albion Park.

The meet location is in front of St Paul's Catholic Primary School, Tongarra Road at around 11:00am - 11:30am.

Here we can make a quick rest stop to stretch our legs and allow everyone to catch up before heading off through Macquarie Pass.

If any lower west members would like to come this would be a good meet point.

From this it is a short trip up to Robertson Pie Shop for some of their famous pies and deserts.



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.

Make sure you have a full tank of fuel at the initial meeting point as there will be no time to refuel on the way.

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!

    • Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?
    • Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).
    • So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?
    • Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.  
    • Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
