Nothing wrong at all. I have a few gay friends, my landlords are gay and my mum has lots of gay friends (she's a bit of a fag hag).

And fags only have good dress tips if you're Metrosexual and wear pink shirts with the collar up while sporting a metro-mullet :(

To address a few things..

1. We're not gay. You can even ask my girlfriend who is in Perth waiting for me to get home. :laugh:

2. All alcohol consumption will be done in Perth.

3. The wombat bit me.

1. get some nets to protect ur radiator from clogging since ull be an insect mass murderer.

2. change ur coolant or add a bottle of water wetter(bring some along as well as octane booster)

3. run THICK OIL, maybe 25w-60

4. drink heaps of water (this usually kills hunger and keeps u feeling tired during long drives)

5. redbulls are good but stops for strecthing legs is highly recommended

6. good pair of sunnies

7. sunscreen on arms.

slow down and pull to the side when u see a roadtrain, u DO NOT want a cracked windscreen. (or bring gogles)

enjoys mofos, ill be looking forward to seeing nathan again, he still owes me a ride in his car.

:(

I wouldn't be pulling over every time I see a truck. You'd be stopping every 30mins or so (and rocks don't stick to the road lol).. not to mention the dangers of being on the side of the road while a road train cruises up your rear :(

Nathan I'll try find the site that was written by a couple of guys on a surfing trip from the East to the West.. its a good read.. and it gives a few good tips.

Thanks for the advice so far guys.

I've already thought of most of it so far.

I'm looking in to those car bra thingys. I'd like to best protect the paint job and intercooler as best I can. The last thing I want to have to worry about is that sort of crap when I get home.

As for octane booster, hopefully that won't be necessary. I've planned the trip according to where BP Ultimate is available so we'll be dishing out a few extra dollars to make sure we have 2 spare tanks worth with us to make sure we get across the Nullabor without having to use dodgey fuel. It also turns out that it's along the shortest route anyway.

Both cars have just been serviced (well, both motors have just been rebuilt and coincidently finished at the same time) and had oil replaced so that shouldn't be an issue until we get home.

As for fluids (both human and car consumables) yeah, that's a must. Already on the list.

I'll be checking condition of hoses and stuff as well and the wear of a few other bits and pieces to.

If you can think of anything else, it'd be much appreciated. :( Cheers guys.

And as for driving tips, as already mentioned above, monitor engine temps, carry extra fuel/octane booster just in case, drink plenty of water, go at your own pace and give yourself rest stops.

Also, load up the stereo with plenty of good music cause you'll have hours and hours to kill!

P.S. You drive safely too Ossie!

Thanks for the offer, Dave! I'll be sure to catch up with ya when I return. I'll give the car a bit of a once over once she's home safe. She's going straight for a service once she gets back!

As for extra fuel, we'll be carrying quite a bit to get us across the Nullabor. I think I mentioned earlier I've planned the trip so only BP Ultimate will be used.

As for music.. The stacker will be full and I'll have a few MP3 CDs in the inventory.

Look forward to catching up with yas soon, cheers guys!

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
