Me too!

slipping bag hey, limited boot space. how much booze u bringing with ya? couple of kegs.

the cars gota back seat too

1 litre of bourbon and a couple 2 litre bottles of coke zero will have me sorted for 2 nights in a row

taking my laptop and my nextG connection too so i can upload pics of the show to the forum as it happens - i just hope there are enough people taking pictures, as i wont be bringing any fancy cameras (aside from my phone)...

im considering asking my detailer to drive up to loxton the day before so he can detail my car and possibly others - naturally I'd need several people to make it worth his while, and he does full car details for between $50 and $200 depending on how detailed u need it... i'll probably end up driving up friday arvo so i can get there several hours before sundown... maybe have a bbq on the river for anyone else driving up on the friday too

if ur keen on this idea, pm me asap

depends on what he charges I guess.........and unlike a car, probably wouldn't have a set rate me thinks.

i couldnt imagine your bike taking more than an hour to detail

when he did my car last year before the berri show he was at my place at 10am on sunday and left at 4pm and charged $200 and i was very very happy with the blokes work

it depends if u want interior clean, exterior clean, exterior polish, underbody detailing... he doesnt do engine bay details but knows some folks who do... my engine bay aint interesting so i never bothered

I wouldn't worry about my paint cause I can do that in 5 minutes.

The combination of chrome, polished alloy and polished stainless steel is what takes so long so its just one kind of polish that he would use......the hard to get to fiddly bits are what take so long though.

Always a lot quicker when there's 2 or 3 polishing at the same time.......even then would probably take an hour to do it properly.

true, no reason why more than one person can detail a car at a time, would be good to have a pro on side tho, with the right solutions and towels. ill call his this week and see if hes interested

personally, i am of the opinion that whatever has been started, must be finished.

I agree but we can't force anyone to do anything.

If someone has to pick up the slack, I'm as good as anyone. So far after reading thru the thread, it looks like the attendance will be as follows.

How many of you guys have already booked accomodation? I'm sorted at the Hotel and there might be one more room for any stragglers. If you're going up there, please let me know your plans as per Ruby's earlier post :

a) drive up on friday, stay for 2 nights and drive back sun

b) drive up on friday, stay one night, drive back saturday night

c) drive up saturday morning and drive home the same day

I've done C) before but it wasn't as enjoyable as I thought it would be, thats why I'm going for option A).

Got a few organisational questions ; What kind of SAU/SAU-SA motifs have we got? DO we have some kind of gazebo or tent? I'll probably cook brekky for anyone interested on the saturday morning, but you'd have to be up and at em early in the morning

If I get an FM transmitter, how many people would be interested in tuning their cars into the same station and creating a massive, mega, multi car boom box?

-D

dohmar feast ftw, all hail king doh

i aint gota room yet, seen as we all being pussys n not camping

anyone wanna spoon with me?

ok so dion, nightcrawler, sled, myself have got confirmed bookings

anyone else on that list finalized your accomodation? Am curious to see how many people will be staying at the hotel. up a bit from the hotel is the river and no doubt a bbq somewhere, so I'm thinking of kicking a bacon and egg fried brekky. bring your own coronary bypass.

also would like to know how many are keen on getting the detailing done up there...

regarding music, it'll be a family day and we dont want to give the club any bad PR so there won't be any profanity, gangsta rap or death metal... I'd welcome suggestions but I've got a fair idea of what I can do... I know that most people wont be able to pump their stereos all day so I'm thinking a couple hours in the morning and a couple hours in the arvo. I'll bring my battery charger incase anyone goes low but if you dont have a deep cycle battery I wouldnt advise it. We wouldnt have it cranked loud as ew dont want to be obnoxious, but having a few cars in the display playing music would be a great display of coordination.

also, I've been playing around with photoshop, making an a3 plaque of the specifics of my car. here is a very draft mockup...

Anyone else want something similar made up? I'm not sure of printing or framing costs tho

    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
