Ok - our numbers have dwindled to about the size that I was originally expecting. But thats ok - it's still going to be tops. I'm getting really pumped for this if for no other reason than I'm looking forwards to driving my car in anger on a track again.

And I'm especially looking forwards to driving Wakefield again and meeting the NSW crew.

Anyways - time to start the final planning and will get those still coming's input on this.

Departure time on Tuesday morning I say should be either 5am or 6am from the Shell on the Hume. Basically these trips go faster before the sun comes up - but it will also be day light savings then so the sun will technically come up later than it is now.

But I want to be in Goulburn well before the 3pm because I want to find a pub and watch the Melbourne Cup. It has to be done. It'd be un-Victorian not to have a beer and watch it.

So I'll let the masses decide on a 5am or 6am depature. I'm personally happy with 6am as it's still for me a near 5am depature from my house.

Also - the other thing non of us have done is book accommodation in Syd. I'm keen to stay at the Cabins as they'll be just like Shep and they are a lot more socialble than a hotel. I'd say we are going to need 3 cabins given the numbers coming so if people are happy with that I can make a booking shortly.

Which just leaves the Tues depature time. 5am or 6am everyone?

im happy with cabins - book away snowy!!!

departure time, im happy either way.

id be happy with say meeting at 5, departing 5.30 or something like that - i just know (from experience of family trips to qld!) the earlier the better!!!

They had stuff at Wakefield but I'm bring a doona and pillow anyways as it was no where near enough for a cold place like Goulburn.

BTW - off topic (kinda) but it turns out for Wakefield all drivers WILL need a Wakefield license (as I originally thought). It's not a big deal at $40 though.

At Wakefield there is a heater (old oil style) in each room, last time i just slept in boxers and a shirt. Turn the heater on about an hour before you go to bed :happy:

There is pillows and all that provided, but it doesnt hurt to take spares of course :D

lol.. have u tried sitting in that thing? :( The seat isn't very comfortable :rofl: besides.. why can't he drive himself??
Just tossing up some options...if there are any passengers going up, if your interested in driving my car up can you please PM me. It looks like at best i may only be able to squeeze EC in...and thats not looking all that likely

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
