hey Silver, I take it you can't buy tickets and accom seperate for the prices you quoted before? The $882 for ibis isnt as nice as the oakford for 871.

Either way we'll go with the crowd I guess.

OK, you said you spoke to "GP Travel" and they could do packages at ibis for $882 tripple share.

I thought you may be able to get better deal for accomodation not going thru the offical GP supplier, they often need to charge a higher price to pay for some fee to the organiser.

So, the question was, is it an option to buy the GP tickets sperately, accom directly with the hotel to get a better price

Or did you mean they are all booked out already?

I haven't explored the alternative of booking tickets and hotel seperately. I'll look into in tonight.

I don't think they've been booked out already. There were only 3 options available for hiring an appartment, Ibis ($882), Rydges Riverwalk ($971) and Saville on Russell ($1033).

The saville is pretty sweet, but I think Dunc may be right, we may be able to get it cheaper just by buying tickets, the accom.

Last year I stayed at the Victoria hotel, it is not too flash, but it is bloody close to the track (you can hear the cars from there).

Was around $200-$250 a night (can't remember exactly) with three of us in a room (ie. ~$80 each)

I would like to head back on the Monday.

For the 2002 GP, I booked the week before, got a hotel about 1.5 ks away, got granstand seats (cheap ones though), and airfair on Virgin for like $90.

We won't miss out. :D

Unfortunately its looking less and less likely I'll have the cash to do this, Silver, are we still going ahead and if so do you have a firm indication of the costs?

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
