The SAU Putty Road cruise is on the 17th September (Saturday) this year, and I hope some of you slackers will come along this time :( Me, Ewen and Shell went up last year and it was awesome.

Basically the plan is, cruise up to Sydney (Windsor) Friday afternoon and stay at Windsor Friday night. Go on the cruise Saturday (the meeting point is about 5 minutes away from where we stay) and stay up in the wine region Saturday night with some of the SAU guys, and then head home Sunday.

For those that dont know Putty Road, it runs from Sydney to Singleton and is masses upon masses of winding roads through the middle of a rain forest... very fun :)

Staying in Windsor Friday night, there are lots of restaurants, cafes, bars etc only 2 minutes walk away, maccas just down the road etc.

Its an awesome weekend, and hopefully some of you can make it up. More details will be posted in the general events section soon, so this is just to gauge interest so far.

This is in less than a month, any more ideas on who is going? Myself, cassi, ewen, mark and shell are all definately going up. I provided the link for a hotel in this thread in Windsor, and the meeting point for the cruise is only 5 mins away in the morning.

At this stage we will probably leave around 3 - 4PM, and arrive by 7:30PM at the latest. Check into the hotel, then go and wine and dine at one of the many restaurants/cafes 2 minutes walk from the hotel.

It will be an awesome weekend, hopefully see some more of you up there :D

stay up in the wine region Saturday night with some of the SAU guys, and then head home Sunday.

what will be sleeping arrangements for saturday night? staying in another hotel or at other SAU members homes? (i just have bad habbits!!!)

what kind of arcade machine? Initial D? DDR?

It's a game(Super Real Darwin - Vertical shooter) that I spent way too much money on in my youthful days, and am also finishing off my MAME project.... I'd love to get a Initial D though

Sleeping arrangements for saturday night are whatever you make them as.

Me, mark, cassi and ewen are staying in Sydney city on saturday night. Our plan is head to Windsor on friday afternoon, cruise saturday and head back to Sydney saturday afternoon, party saturday night, head home sunday.

You can head straight home saturday if you want, can stay in hunter valley if you want, can stay in sydney if you want :D

    • Welcome.  800hp should be a bit of weekend fun!
    • I'm going with "Just run two gates". Fix the problem conclusively. It's the only way you'd ever truly know, right?. This is all pretty much splitting hairs. Even the extreme example where it takes two whole seconds at 100kmh or something sounds monstrously dubious. And anyway, when you're punching the throttle when you 'need' this power, you aren't at 2800rpm in the wrong gear. Test it at 5600rpm in 3rd gear, when you're traction limited punching out of a sweeper. Much difference there when you account for traction?
    • And the full R32 GTR wiring diagrams are also freely available. Hmm.... there's supposed to be an auto replace that would have linked the thread. Here it is, manually  
    • Ahh...should have been clearer ~ there's 2 ... SMJ = super multi junction (connector)...   ...this is connector 6 & 25 in above image -- body harness to engine loom (6) & body harness to main loom (25) Headlights go to front via connector 6 ; fuel gauge goes to tank sender via connector 25  ...like I say this is R33 diagrams, but at a pinch R34 won't be too far different. *IF* the two ground faults are related, this can be the only place where both wires converge (as one runs to the back, the other to the front)... ....thing is, you probably need to establish if the faults are related (unless you examine that area and find obvious chaffing on the looms there to body ground)....*IF* the fuel gauge is still broken (full needle deflection), I'd be headed for the boot, remove fuel sender wire, key on and measure the voltage there ~ it should be roughly 10volts. If that's ok, check sender to ground resistance...if this is a dead short to ground (and there's fuel in it), then sender has failed or something funky has happened to wiring in the tank. edit: ahh...rereading the thread, this is R32....above fuel sender test still valid tho'
    • I just changed the timing belt on my RB25DET NEO and wanted to get some opinions. I’ve been super cautious, did a lot of research, and took my time. I’ve driven the car, and it runs fine. After warming it up, I revved it to 8000 RPM a few times—no issues, everything held up.   After the drive, I heard a noise that I think is either the clutch or possibly a tight accessory belt. It’s not constant, just comes and goes.   I took the timing cover off to double-check everything:   Belt is on properly, Tensioner is tight, Did the 90-degree twist test—belt isn’t too tight or too loose.     What still worries me is that I noticed the belt seems to sit a little toward the front edge of the gears, especially on the idler pulley. It even looks like it’s slightly coming off the edge there. Is that normal?   My old belt (5 years old, ~3,000 miles) also showed a bit of wear on that same edge, so maybe it’s just how it sits? I’m probably overthinking this, but since it’s my first time doing this on a NEO and the engine is forged, I really don’t want to mess anything up.   Also, I’m thinking of swapping to a clear front timing cover with the glass window. Would you recommend NITO or HPI? HPI looks reputable and their covers have 2.5mm thickness, but not sure if there’s a real difference between the two.   Any advice or reassurance would be much appreciated!
