A short note to the beautiful people in Gods Country.

YEEEEHAH!!!!

The house in Vic is finally sold and I can end almost 7 years in purgatory/hell/Bracks police state. Thank god for SAUVic who are a fine bunch of folks that have maintained my sanity.

Damn it feels good and I just don't want it to stop so here is your opportunity to lavish me with the sensational goodwill that can only be found in Qld. Please don't feel embarrassed about heaping it on about how welcome I'll be made to feel to come home, how much beer and Bundy we will consume, how well the Reds will play this year and what a great club you have for me to join. Note that anyone being cruel or small about me still being here in Sh*tsville (aka Melbourne) Victoria will get a free (defective time bomb) HICAS bar :P

Now seriously, I'll be getting the removal done in early March, whipping up and banging the lot into storage so I can hop off to Thailand on the 10th for 3 weeks of boozing and SCUBA diving and massages at Koh Samui and Koh Tao. So I assume there will be endless activities planned for the week prior to my departure for Siam and then after a 3 week breather even more entertainment and activity.

In the meantime I have a 26/30 to build for the GTS25t track barge, turbos and other GFBs to go on the GTR and numerous other jobs to get done so lets get some "keep my spirits up" happening.

Looking forward to renewing old acquaintances and meeting those I haven't yet.

Regards

Geoff Williams

Congratulations on the sale of the house! We've got a nice full agenda of events coming up soon, including track, dyno, and pub crawl!

The VICs that I have met are fab, so i'll expect nothing less than perfection from you (quickly racks brain to remember if i've met you)....

Oh yeah, loving the idea of a 10% tolerance on the roads and less severity on mods.

I don't believe I've had the pleasure Anna so we'll get that out of the way soon :P

I am and always have been a Queenslander, and have never ever been a Victorian or anything else. Unfortunately the Army abducted me for 21 years of which I only got 4 years to enjoy my home. The rest were propping up Victorias ailing banks/name anything else you like cos it's all crap here, sweating in the NT and northern WA, watching my back in Syddley, or studying in the ACT.

I'll be with the outlaws in Oxley until we get a place sorted, but generally looking to have a big place up around Samford or Dayboro to base my operations. SCUBA instructing, renovating homes, doing some performance work, cracking a few jobs consulting as an engineer and project manager and hitting the track lots. Not sure if I'll be able to keep myself busy.

I'll be keen for a drive and dive early April Troy. Jase, I'll be looking for you at a track day too.

I'd prefer melbourne.

Also, (not post aimed at original poster, just rant) we have far too many f**king people moving to "sunny brisbane" because everyone only ever hears it's an awesome place to live.

I'm on the roads in peak hour traffic again for the first time in like 5 years, and the congestion is easily 3-4 times worse. What the hell? How many damn people have we grown to? This city used to be empty, now it's overfull of people, and funny enough they all act the same too... like braindead knuckledragging yokel f**kwits =P

One thing to say......a crap day in Brisbane is about a million times better than the best day Melbourne has ever offered.

Also looking forward to something other on TV than fags wishing they were hard men poncing around with their stupid haircuts and worried about breaking a nail in their slapping comps on the field.

Mel and Mark, I like Beatties idea on billing out of staters to move up and retire, putting untoward pressure on state resources. Workers are fine of course. But lets face ir. Melbourne is the worlds most liveable city (Pfffft right!!!) but people go to Queensland to get a life. Sure It's not bad herre sometimes, but the government is ignorant, corrupt, incompetent and belligerent. Plus the weather plain sux.

Marcus, that would be me. I have spent almost 4 years now paying for doing the hard stuff. A disc ruptured due to fatigue injury and our mighty medical system played the waiting game hoping it would correct. I needed surgery straight away but the nerve damage continues to require drugs for me to sleep. Still weak in the lower back and pins and needles all over from the nerves regenerating. You have the 4 door right? GL too with the engine build.

The good news for me is the injury has made me re-evaluate my life so I'll try to make a go of things I enjoy rather than pleasing someone else and making their careers look good.

Tuesday night dinners and rediscovering the roads around Brisbane will be an absolute pleasure.

Hi Geoff,

The Tuesday night dinners are a great way to meet fellow SAu'ers...details are posted in the Qld Events section, and some peeps place a link in their sigs also.

Have a great time on your overseas trip :D

Kind regards,

Karen

Hey Geoff,

Congratualtions on the sale of the house. I look forward to meeting you and I hope you find a base of operations somewhere close to the CBD so that you can easily attend the regular dinners and other club events.

It will be great to have another QLD club member onboard and you come highly rated in the knowledge ranks so expect everyone to hang on your every word :laugh: 'joking'.

Have fun on holidays and see you when you get here!

Cheers,

Ben.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
