what about the car park at regatta point (the resturant near captain cook fountain (the fountain on lake burley griffin))

That's a pretty good idea actually.

It's lit and everything as far as I can remember.

I have it on good word that Brindabella park would be ok, albeit "airport land" moat of the security companys run smaller shifts out there at night, and the guys generally don't care. The only problem I can see would be finding a car park without boomgates would be a hassle.

Regatta point is always good, I know some of the toyota guys use to go there a few years ago.

The carrillion is another spot, but the road isn't the best and the entry from kings av has a killer speedbump. plus windchill factor

Failing all that, The car park across from the convention center is open and isn't too bad......

PN. Canberra cruises are now meeting at the museum too. I have a feeling that the guys I use to work with at the Museum are gonna be cracking the shits with it all soon and the 5-0 will be attending on a more frequent basis

They aren't Canberra Cruises guys and the CC guys that were with the Commo guys reckon that they don't know the people that are causing the problems...

The CC guys that I was with were just trying to avoid all that too - took off as soon as it started happening. We got a big bitching thread going on :thumbsup:

So I've been reading :(

From what I gather there was quite a turnout at the museum last night, like a few groups?

LOL then you'll notice I've had nothing better to do today than torment the commodore guys on there...

Yeah, I turned up with about 5-10 other guys so we could have a chat, check out each others cars and go take some nice photos cause one of them is a photographer. Then some Commodore club turned up... Quite a lot of them were ok but they were really loud and stuff and then the heroes started arriving, squealing the wheels all the time and fishying around and stuff before the burnouts started... Just the crap you don't really need.

But hey don't dare single out the commodore drivers and call them hoons :(

Yah, i just checked it out, love your work :D

Worked someone up so much, he threatened to hide in another model car, 'loose the plot' and incite violence on those demeaning his car of choice - the irony, awesome

    • Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
