OK, I'm heading down to the Texikhana on Saturday, and I'd like to know who's planned what as far as meeting points and times are concerned.

There is a Hungry Jacks (Burger King, or whatever), Caltex and Red Rooster in the one complex just at the beginning of Abbott Road as you come off the M2. I live right near the end of the M2 in Seven Hills, and I figure that this spot would be a good meeting point for those coming from the North Shore and Central Coast, as well as those living in and around the Hills area.

So:

  • Who is coming this way?
  • Who has a toll tag of some description?
  • Who wants to use the Cumberland Highway, and meet at Krispy Kremes or the big Bunnings in Casula?
  • Who would prefer instead to use the M7? It cuts an easy 30mins off your travel time as opposed to using the Cumberland Highway.
  • What time shall we meet?
  • Who is driving solo in their cars (like me)?

Chubbs? TJ? Wayne and Kasey? Jase? Anna? Jess? Greg (v_s_p_e_c)? James (lingeringsoul)? Jen and Nige?

Please bring hand-held CB radios for road trip fun!

Ewwww, early morning wake-up? No thanks!

I'm with you guys then! Do you all have E-tags or similar?

*big Bunnings in Casula @11am for a few of us allready.i live 5 mins from here.some are said to be travelling from the coast.so i guess you could meet up with those peeps somewhere allong the line.and meet up with the rest of us at bunnings.

*im driving solo in the car like u.

Yeah bud we have an e-tag. I would pref the M7 personally but i dont care really. Whatever is easiest for everyone. If someone doesnt have an E-tag and we go another way, so be it.

A trip without dramas is a good trip.

Sounds like maybe 2 waves?

One at 11 at Casula Bunnings as already planned and another sometime in the afternoon (time to be agreed). Those coming down the M7 will find Bunning an easy stop to pick up Sydneysiders who want to tag along.

11am shift here guys n gals :)

the mrs and I are in mine

Ando and TJ - as you guys are from similar area - what way you guys gonna head?

I am actually picking my mate up from Cherrybrook in the morning so maybe meet you somewhere around hills/hornsby before hand as i have NFI where this Bunnings is!!!

Drop me a PM or call me bish :worship:

    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
    • Run some injector cleaner through it I had a similar issue that plagued me for months, even tried replacing the cat. If one or more injectors are blocked up the ecu sees ping so pulls timing and makes the tune rich overall, you'll see black smoke coming out of the exhaust and like me assume it's running rich but it could only be one or two cylinders  $10 bottle of injector cleaner and the next time I hit boost it pumped out a huge plume of black smoke, cleared the blockage and then ran great, if that's not the issue it's only a cheap thing to try haha
