So after many topics about Perth cruises for us, nothing ever happened and nothing got planned so this is the thread that will get things into motion. (hopefully)

Im just asking a few questions first are we interested in a doing a cruise up to the hills or York, Toodyay or south with a stop somewhere for a bite to eat (something like our last adventures)or are you wanting to have a social get together without the cruise instead?

Dates i was looking at would be around Sat/Sun Weekend 25-26th October or Sat/Sund Weekend 8-9th November. This would give plenty of time to organise, sort and book if need be etc.

throw your ideas etc in here and lets organise to have the next meet :D

Cheers

too many weddings and interstate trips for me to commit to October but November would be sweet!

I am up for anything, but a small cruise combined with a social get together at the end would be my preference. Obviously something at least a little kid friendly would be good, coz if I wanted to hoon about with tools then there are plenty of other options available.

South would be good too - maybe dwellingup or similar? Or, if people are up for an adventure maybe even a picnic at somewhere like Logue Brook Dam.

I would be up for a cruise in november as october is full of wedding as well for me also doing the engine swap.

I know an awesome cruise route down south, takes a while but is sweet. For you perth guys allow a full day.

Basically meet here in bunbury at BP australaind (huge carpark and last chance to fill up on BP98) then go to bridgetown via collie, in bridgetown there's a place to stop for those of us with kids, stretch get something to nibble etc (there's a great lolly shop)

Then from bridgetown through to Nannup (brockman highway, awesome road bit bumpy and single lane sometimes but worth it, the idiots stay at home for this one).

Then Nannup to Balignup, at the end of the road as you come into Balignup there is an awesome tavern with really good food and not bad prices, and a play ground for the kids.

Then from Balignup you go back through donnybrook to bunbury or you can go through to Busselton. So basically at nannup everyone makes there own way home.

We have done this one before and if you leave early in the morning you make the tavern by lunch.

I have the map route at work i will try and get it 2moro.

Just an idea.

how in the hell did you manage to leave donelly river off there?

Great route, but the road from brigetown to donelly river is an absolute cracker IMO

Other than that, I can def vouch for this route.

i'd come along but that weekend is no good for me. family stuff on..

dates arent confirmed at all as of yet...trying to figure out if October or Nov suit....looks like November is working at this stage...???

Ok i'll get the map route 2moro and see if we can incorporate it in??

i havent organised anything myself as the car will be undergoing work in a couple of weeks and trying to get this yellow sticker off, i dont know how long the conversion will take me but should be right for mid to late november, i can always bring the gto if the stagea aint going anyway.

Mid to late Nov gonna be the best for me to.

I have the map route now from work. Not gonna post it up coz there could be people watching :(

if anyone wants it i can send it to them and we can think bout it, just an idea.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
