I've been wanting to organise this for a while so finally pulling my finger out.

The date is Sunday the 7th of September

Ok, so Meeting at Old Parliament House in the morning so we can leave at 9:30

From there we'll head out to Uriarra Crossing, than down to the Cotter, than head south to the Corin Dam. From there, back onto Tidbinbilla Road, down through Tharwa and (my favourite bit) up to the old tracking station at the end of Apollo Road. Finally finish up at Point Hut Crossing.

Here's a map: http://maps.google.com.au/maps/ms?hl=en&am...615234&z=11

If anyone's interested, we can organise a BBQ or just drinks to put some more cash towards the banner. Or we can go to have lunch somewhere.

We'll be stopping at at least four places so there'll be planty of opportunities to take photos.

If anyone hasn't been out that way before, I've done this route lots of times on motorbikes and a few times with a car and it is lots of fun so if you're borred of driving from one traffic light to another I guarantee you'll enjoy this. The roads are good and if we go in the morning, traffic is usually minimal.

Cheers

7th would be better cos there's that motorkhana on the 24th... seems to suit most ppl anyway..

I'd love to come but it's a bit too early for me lol, I had enough trouble making 1pm (as everybody knows :ermm: )

It's looking more and more like the 7th.

So the list:

Come on Shel, stop being so soft, you know you want to come :thumbsup:

Ps: it doesn't matter what car you come in, even a Datto 260Z will be ok although I'm yet to be convinced that it exists :ermm: having said that, open wheelers should probly be left at home

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
