Not even close!!

Pick mine up Friday night then drive to Loxton.... nothing like cutting it fine! LOL

+1 Martin.

Just picked up the horse float for the steel horse (hrmm, reminds me of a Bon Jovi song) and gotta cut the floor for some tie down cleats followed by the monster task of turning all that fiddly chrome into a mirror........I'm so over it and haven't even started yet cause of all the work that I need to clear first!! :D

Krishy, I've been told that your entrance was paid as well as abes from cara. Since Cara is no longer involved, you should give Stuart a call in regards to this. While I'm not responsible for co-ordinating entrants payment of the show, I would say that perhaps not all items were posted on the same day and that you might get yours on Monday. If not, call Stuart - I know Cara has confirmed on his behalf that they have recieved both yours and Abes entry fees - did you lodge the form with it? In either case, the entry fees and forms are your responsibility and you should follow this up directly with stuart.

Southies should probably follow Sled and Shane

Northies should meet the majority of the pack at Bunnings carpark parafield airport at 12:30 for a 1pm departure after distribution of 2 way radios and plans and a quick word from myself...we'll drive to gawler via heaslip road and then head up to loxton via the barossa bypass route. We'll be keeping to the speed limit 100%, and I'll expect everyone to keep a healthy distance from the man in front so we dont end up chipping our cars on the way up.... the difference between 110kph and 140kph in most cases is only a 5-10 minute difference, and i'm not keen on a speeding fine just to save a few minutes...

on sour news, i hit a spoon drain, 24 hours after picking up my gtr with the spoiler lip fitted and teins fitted.... seems that the teins cant stop the lip from hitting shit... scraped the underside and cracked 2 parts on the front *sigh*

-D

Krishy you should get yours Monday...hopefully, as i got mine on Friday.

I'm not sure which way I'll go, I'm South (Aldinga), and whereis.com.au is saying the fastest/shortest way is to head north to Salisbury, Nurioopta, Blanchetown, then onto Loxton. Hmmm, to leave at 1pm or 2pm...

Shame to hear about the front lip Ben, after all that was done.

You'd probably be better off joining sled and shane. pm them for meeting details.

whereis calculates miles travelled rather than the amount of time you'll spend at the traffic lights. you'll probably get there sooner than us if you follow pete and shane....

however if you're happy to do a bit of a hike, meet us at bunnings and grab a 2 way radio

Travelmate Online:

Gawler to Loxton = 205km, 2hr 43min

Murray Bridge to Loxton = 176km, 2hr 20min

Suppose it depends where you live and how long it takes you to get to either Gawler or Murray Bridge....from my home it's 1 hr either way, (MB is 20km further but no stop lights & has less traffic).

So total km for me would be approx the same either way yet I save almost 1/2 hr off my journey with less traffic to dodge. :)

Succinctly put. If you're north of the CBD, meet at bunnings

If you're south, speak to Pete (SLED) and go via the less travelled route - I myself would prefer the MB route but it would add an hour to my travel cause im in the North East...

Havent yet, Dan has a relative down there so i may try and organise something there.

I may have somewhere you could sleep. I am in the Riverview Motel Suite, apparently it has 1 x double bed 1 x single bed and 2 fold out single divan. I got the double, my mate i am taking has got the single....and then the 2 fold outs, we shall see what happens :P, you may need your own linen/sleeping bag if you sleep on the fold out.

Good thinking - make sure if u get any extra guests u let the hotel staff know and pay the extra.. would hate to see u guys kicked out for staging a gay orgy :D

and dion, its quicker in distance but theres a lot more traffic lights to go thru - we'll call a vote on the day n see what people wanna do...

I am not entirely sure what i got..either the Riverview Motel or the Gardenview, well i want to ring up on Tuesday or Wednesday to make sure i still have my and Krishy's room booked...i booked them about 4 months ago, will be really annoyed if they didn't. If they don't...maybe i can go camping :ninja:

Camping is still fun.

    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it. 
    • Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
