General Meeting Williamstown Cruise/photo Shoot


Recommended Posts

Tonight we ran a short cruise over to Williamstown as part of the January General Meeting.

We thought it would be a great way to start the year off . As there was not a lot to cover at

the meeting because of the christmas break.

Not all could come but we had 16 cars head up over the West Gate down in to Williamstown

for a photo shoot (By Joel Strickland & Sarah Biggin ) along the coast line with a nice view

of the Melbourne skyline behind us.

I hope you all enjoyed the night and once again it was great to see a lot of new faces.

Thank you all for coming. And a big :( to Sarah and Joel..

If you guys took some of your own pic post them up here..

Cheers

Wayne.. ( SAUvic Events Co-Ordinator )

thanks Sarah for great pics again!

im upset i totally forgot my camera as i rushed to get to the metting

also, it could have almost been my last photoshoot, i met some mates after the meet at doncaster pancake parlour, where we then headed out to king lake and healsville through all the twisties. i was chasing an m3 series bmw and dont know the roads well enough to be going the speeds i was and was all over the road almost into the cliff lol. then 5 mins later a wombat starts charging at my car! i thought after this if i wanted to make another meet id better take it a little easier :)

see ya next time! :(

I ahve lived in Williamstown for the last 24 years (just moved). I never drive my r33 there to visit parents or mates. There are so many cops in williamstown as it is the head for the water police and also they have had massive crackldowns on "hoons" over the years due to racing and burnouts along the beach. I ahve seen the mobile vic road roadworthy checks there many times at night with the help of the SES lights!!

Anyway hope it was a good day!

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
