Oh, just had a thought after posting the above.

Ben did you have something different to add in relation to fees, ie. group entry fee (if there is any such thing)....which I noticed has no mention of such a thing in the fee section of the form?

Well not quite... theres the fee from the show itself, and everything else is commonsense

a) Your own accomodation

b) Your petrol/transport fees (I'm budgeting $120 for petrol to and fro, plus a tad more if I attend the sunday cruise)

c) Food/Snacks which arent covered by show dinner (I only have kettle in my hotel so I'm taking sui-min/fantastic noodles incase I get peckish)

d) English Brekky ala Dohmar, $6 with all leftover coin going to SAU:SA (Eggs, Bacon, Tomato, Sausage, Onion, Cheese, toast, mushrooms etc, but you need to book ahead :D)

e) Detailing (if required - again, we need to know in advance)

f) Alcohol (if you're like me, put a few hundred dollars aside and pray to god your liver holds)

-D

EDIT - There is no such 'group' fee- the fees are written to provide maximum flexibility within a group while maintaining a base entry fee sufficient to cover the expenses and prizes. The good thing about this, is that our members can either choose the $15 or $60 option, whatever suits them -this is a good thing, as autosalon charges a median rate which is quite exorbitant for some.

I thought I'd just put this extra post up regarding a tent

We really really need a big, big, f**koff big tent. Preferably a military spec command tent

Ideally I'd like a tent that has support from the elements, lest the weather become inclement

A tent that is big enough to shelter all SAU participants plus their "mates" plus any spectators at the time

One which can house a trestle table and a few seats

As well as having space for people to put their bags in a safe space

If anyone has one such tent, or knows where I can hire something so large, please let me know

-D

Good Job Dohmar :)

It is a shame that Cara won't be joining us, as she got it organized.

I have booked a room/apartment for myself and my mate, it has off the street parking. I also booked a room for Krishy inside the Hotel. I am heading up the Friday and staying the 2 nights, coming back the Sunday arvo. I too would be interested in a BBQ, and as for the radio, i don't really care.

Just wondering about the drive up, all the people heading up the Friday, do you want to meet up somewhere and go together? If so, do you want to get some Walkie-Talkie's so we can have convo's/spam music to each other on the drive up? If anyone is interested, i will talk to my mates at Strathfield and see what, if any, deal they can do for me.

Cara has organized my entry forms and payment. Instead of sending you a pm, i shall say here. English Breakfast for myself and my mate, and i shall have my car detailed on the outside please.

Yep mine too....i handed the form + $$$ a long long time ago

I have 2 x 1W walkies I can bring (and lend someone 1). I too plan on taking half a day off Friday and driving up mid-afternoon - no fun getting up there in the dark.

As I am a Northie too (live less than 2km from Dohmar) I was thinking of a meet-up at Bunnings Parafield or something like that at maybe 2pm(ish). And am coming home Sunday sometime - not sure if I will stay in the Riverland for lunch or bolt home after breakfast - will see what time the boss says I have to be home.

Shotgun the walkie talkie number 2 off Nightcrawler....i shall spam you all with some wicked trance tunes

lol dont you worry I'll have my own trance tunes pumping :)

I'll bring my walkie to. Fun times ahead.

Cool... That means our convoy should all have walkie talkies ;

Luke, Pete, Andrew (spare to go to Krishy), Dion (spare to go to Abe), Dohmar (spare for whoever else is coming on the convoy)

So far we've got:

4x R32's, 4x R33's, 2x R34's, 2x Stags, 1x350z and 1xM35 - Petes bike will probably get a display all of its own next to shanes 180sx if possible

Now, I know Ruby is bringing 2 others, Vu is coming up with his GF (i think) and Abe has a mate coming - is anyone else bringing a passenger/friend/partner?

Anyone know who rents tents? (aha I could be a white rapper)... something big enough for 20 people to relax in if necessary

-D

is that the same crazy indian trance we used to hearing out of taxi's krishy :)

i have no friends ill be han solo tripping it, im fine with tent chipping in aslong as its not too crazy :)

I will chip in towards the tent if need be.

Just called the dude, for 20 odd people we'd need a 6x3 metre Tent and that'd cost $220 for the 3 day hire (aka weekend). I'll discuss the financial situation with the club executive and see how much everyone would need to chip in (or if the club can cover the hire cost).

Pete, would you be OK to take the tent in your car along with the trestle table?

Otherwise would any of u stag owners have any room in your boot/drop the rear seat down etc.. I know ruby is coming up with 3 people so he's gonna need his back seat..

-D

Well we have 14 cars booked for the display, if everyone puts in $20 that'll more than cover the cost of the tent

-D

Done. When and how?

I'll see if I can cover it somehow, or maybe the club can cover it and we can put the cash back into it once everyone gets there.

For $20 I could include the price of the brekky too, only the people coming up as friends/passengers will have to pay $5 for their brekky

14 * 15 = $210, 14 * 20 = $280, so we'd have $60 to cover feeding everyone (easily done) - could probably even organize some fingerfood for the afternoon.

Excellent... that means we got 2 spare walkies incase anyone wants to join the convoy - since Dion lives at gawler, we might have a quick stop at the petrol station for any last minute fill ups and to meet up with him, rather than have him drive south to Bunnings and then back north again..

Can ya'll pls pm me your mobile numbers incase I need to touch base with ya?

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
