i want to go away for a weekend but i cant afford anything too flashy, but i would still like to go somewhere nice.

can anyone recommend anywhere?

i dont mind if its north of perth or south of perth... i dont want it to be tooooo far away, but far enough out of perth so i feel im not in perth anymore, if you know what i mean...

if u have the entertainment book, and mandurah is far enough, so go seashells by the marina in mandurah. its like $190 a nite, but sumfing liek 25% off wif the book.

thou..(no offense to mandurah people) theres not much to do there...

if ur willing to drive to dunsborough, bunker bay is a great place...but thats like $200 sumfing a nite..

There is a multitude of little B&B's and chalets for rent all over the great southern. Some of the caravan parks have little permenant vans there for rent for bugger all if you want to go that way. Personally im always up for going bush so its always just the fuel costs.

have a googling see what you find. aka no real suggestions here im either staying with friends down south or driving 5000ks when i go out of town :D

yeah ive been going to a lot of the tourism places - but i just wanted to see what people reccomended :P

bunker bay would be awesome, the thing is i would go there and want massages and all the day spa stuff to - then id get my bill and have a heart attack.

maybe i will have to do bunker bay, from what i have heard its top notch.

surprised no one mentioned rottnest! there is a fair bit of stuff to see and do accommodation is cheap depending on the season and if the weather is good there are so many nice beach spots and surf is also a PLUS :D and it is only one gnarlly boat trip for like 30 mins away :glare:

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
