Thought it would be better if we started another thread to organise the Saturday morning cruise to DECA so that we don't spam up the event thread.

Was thinking that for SE suburbs, we could meet at:

SHELL Servo, corner of Warrigal road and Princes hwy in Chadstone, meet at 4.45am for 5.00am departure.

Then for the other guys, as suggested in the main thread,

BP servo at Heathcote Junction (roughly 15-20km north of donnybrook shell). Not sure on timing though, maybe 6:15 for 6:30 departure? Only 130km to DECA from there so it's not too far. Should have enough time to have breakfast at shepparton maccas.

Any thoughts, suggested meet points/times etc?

thanks for starting a separate thread Sandeep :(

Those meet points and times sound good to me.

I'd be meeting at the BP as I live close to the Ring Road

I'll post this link in the DECA thread on NS.com as some guys from there are comming to DECA as well

Good work mate,

How about a number for everyone else that might run abit late. Also there is a Maccas' on Western Ring Road if you want to use that as the second meeting point, then a cruise straight to Deca (or you can drop by BP at Heathcote junction to join up with everyone else), just suggesting.

See you at Shell warrigal.

Are spectators welcome at this event??? Or competitors only???

You're more than welcome, even better if you enter.

Mate i'd love to but need a few suspension tweaks before i do anything.

My Hicas is KILLING me.

Oh and i need my 100,000 service!

Spectating it is.

cool, so everyone is happy with those times? last time i think it took pretty much exactly 2hrs from toorak rd to shepparton, no stops. so we should have enough time for a 15min stop at the BP and then breakfast or drivethru at shepparton maccas, depending on roadworks/speedlimits etc.

btw people coming to SE suburbs meet, we will be taking citylink so you'll need a etag/daypass. or you can pay 3 days later (i usually forget to buy it beforehand).

mobile number is: zero four three two nine seven five six nine six, call me if you are gonna be late.. or if i'm late.

p.s. remember to switch your lights off this time Khoa :)

okay so apparently there will be some road works/lane closures on the monash section, so I'm thinking for anyone else coming to the Shell meeting point, we should meet at 4.30 and leave at 4.45.

For the people going straight to BP, try to get there around 6am.

i'll bring my cb radios along too.

We can take Princes hwy, at that time of the day the travel time is the same if not quicker. My sister works at the Airport, travelling there everyday so she can confirm this lol.

Just make sure you don't leave your lights on this time..

    • Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
