Some of you may have read that for ages we've been thinking of a run to some towns in the South West.

Of course we all have different ideas of what this should entail.

It also seems that it is difficult to suit everyone (actually read impossible).

So I am organising a run through Mandurah, Bunbury, Collie, and an overnight stay at Qunidanning Hotel (which has to be one of the quaintest hotels anywhere).

I am aiming for the 6th, 13th or 20th of June. Personally I am going to leave our daughter in Perth and make a little more romantic.

All the accomodation is in Double rooms. The run will be restricted to 16 people. Whether you bring a partner or not is up to you.

The accomodation cost is $70/two persons for Room and Continental Breakfast and $80 with cooked breakfasts.

$50 for a single person, and $60 for cooked breakfast option. You will still sleep in a double or Queen size bed regardless.

The 'Pub' part would rival any English pub, with good hospitality and a great log fire to boot.

Be aware there are NO SHOPS in Quindaning, just the Hotel, PO, and a couple of houses!

This would be a great place to have a few beers and tell a few yarns around the fire (or piano) before final orders and bed.

Check it out at http://www.quindanninghotel.com

We will come back through Dwellingup and Pinjarra on the Sunday, Probably stopping in Pinjarra for a bite on the way back.

I can promise some nice winding roads and great scenery.

I am going to leave this as a Stagea WA run, but if we can't get enough takers then I throw it open on the Skyline forum.

Please give me an indication of your interest.

Oh and John- Lotty works in Tourism and Hospiltality and told me to give you big thumbs up for planning this.

Yeah Sean we will have to pay as soon as I get the booking date sorted. (so that I don't get lumbered with 12 extra rooms for Iolanda & I)!!

Thanks for the support.

OOPS I just realised that I can't make it on the 20th & 21st :blink: ........I have an expo on.

So my preference is now 6-7th June.

Please note this is not for couples only, just for people who want to mix, and appreciate the country side, driving their Stagea and at the same time making a donation to the economy by burning fuel.

We will have numerous stops, (no doubt!) for Food, Fuel, and photos.

If you decide to bring children, that's your choice. I just want to make the driving a little easier, (and the get together at the pub), so that I don't have to keep hearing "are we there yet" etc.

I have tried to plan this as a break!

For some reason I cannot edit the post, and take out the dates! If a moderator can help here that'd be great.

Gee I really thought that people would get into this!

A chance to have a great cruise, do a bit of bonding in some nice locations!

Ha ha..... oh well, I guess that the majority of Stagea owners, bought them to be different and so most of us are indivualistic. Goes with the territory 'spose.

I'll give this a few more days and post it onto the main SAU page.

At least it looks like 2 Stagea's will be going........ the rest can sit at home an whinge about never having any meetings organised.

ROFLMAO :laughing-smiley-014: "but iam in to footy"....... now that's the understatement of the Century!!!

Yeah Charlie, I would have made it on a "bye" weekend (or is that a "bi")... but really I thought August was a tad too far, and the weather may not be as good....... but then you just never know.

Anyway plenty of other cruises....

Ah! I can't come... sorry guys, looking at my finance for the next 2 months, an apprentice like me won't be able to afford it... Sorry again

Aw, pity Tim. You were the only bachelor!!

Now what is the barmaid going to do?

I think that you should raid your piggy bank (or get your girlfriend to pay).

Excuses, excuses, excuses....

Family, job, hobby, wife, kids, garden, house.. you name it :D

It all comes back to the priorities. We live only once (unless someone here is a cat but that's a different story), we all socializing here and we all (well at least many of us) are complaining every now and then that we dont have many activities... and when opportunity comes - bingo ! only 4 cars going to turn up...

I am not going to say much or put shame on anyone; i am not going to ask anyone to reconsider their decisions. But i am going to repeat myself - it's all about priorities. Period.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
