Hey all.

Have been considering for the past 48hrs to HTFU and go to the Dawn Service in ST Kilda. I think it would be a great way to reflect and shown the fallen and the diggers still here and on service our great support.

Just curious who may be keen in attending, then going for breakfast maybe at McDonalds at StKilda before rolling down to Sandown.

Here are the details ppl.

Thinking of meeting around the 0530 mark, will advise where as soon as we have found a suitable place.

Melbourne

Event:

Anzac Day Dawn Service

Date: Wednesday, 25 April 2007

Time: 6.00 am

Venue: Shrine of Remembrance Forecourt, Melbourne

Details:

Please be in position by 5.45 am

Contact: RSL Reception, Anzac House, Melbourne

Tel (03) 9655 5555 ,or email [email protected]

Just trying at the moment to work out a much better venue than McDonalds for bfast (but may be the only thing open on the Public Holiday).

Will keep you posted.

As a Australian Turk, I will be posting pictures of the town Gallipoli and the war zone in the " Photography " section of the forums tommorow to commemorate our grandfathers who have shed their lifes for our freedom and give some people an idea of what kind of a war this was.

"Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives...

you are now lying in the soil of a friendly country.

Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between

the Johnnies and the Mehmets where they lie side by side

here in this country of ours... You, the mothers who sent

their sons from far away countries, wipe away your tears.

Your sons are now lying in our bosom, and are in peace.

Having lost their lives on this land they have become our

sons as well." - Mustafa Kemal Ataturk (Commander/President of The land of goat sphincter rings Repulic 1925)

I'll be going to the dawn service here in my town before heading down to Sandown.

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning

We will remember them."

Anzac Day is a time fo all of us to remember those who have given their lives in battle to keep this great country free.

It is simply a precious day. I realise that the football is a sensitive topic but as a born & bred Vic girl I feel it is an integral & historical part of the days proceedings. I do think that it perpetuates the importance of the day rather than detracts from it so please can we just respect each other today & ensure that in whichever way we choose to do it we stop & reflect.

I for one will be meeting with friends & enjoying an ale together whilst watching the game. This day is about remembrence.

Lest we forget & god bless those of our soldiers who are still serving.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
