Ok people, it's around that time again! I've been chatting with a few of you, and there's plenty of interest, so let's work something out...

I'll get this frst post updated to reflect confirmed details, but in the meantime, here's the rough plan:

Early morning - meet at the Gold Coast Coomera BP or Mudgeeraba Shell (someone from Brisbane can work out earlier northern meet points to coincide). We drive south to Byron bay/Murwillumbah (the old raods were a great drive, but I will need to do a recce run to confirm their condition), with a short stop for refreshments and fuel (Byron BP would be a logical choice).

From there, we take some nice back roads North to the Gold Coast (using parts of the route from my first meet: great roads!), and terminate at Southport for a Bbq/chitchat/drinks at GreenGhost's place (thanks Myles!) which has plenty of parking (it's in an industrial estate) in the early afternoon.

Dates will need to be negotiated, and the route/destinations can be altered as required: I know it's a hike for the Brissie folk...

I'm thinking early August, but what do you guys think? It would be really good to have Darrinspencer's car at this one, so I'd like to make it coincide with the completion of his project...

Our last few meets have been pretty good, but have come apart a little at the endpoint: I figure if we have a private property to go to, we're not going to be fighting for bbqs and car spots like we have on the other meets, and since we went North last time, it'll make a nice change... This way, for a small cost per person, we can have food and refreshments ready to go...

Date: locked in by Micah as Sunday the 20th of September, 2009

Time:

  • 8.00am for an 8.20am departure.

Meeting point:

  • Coomera BP service station

Route:

Nothing like some pressure!!

Will be ready by the end of August for the VW Jamboree, so maybe early September for a meet??

I would definately be interested, if its hapnin mid september I can make it. Won't be back in the country till then. I got friends down in mullum and my GF's beetle is being worked on down there so could coincide with it being ready to be picked up.

Would love to make it along anyways-

:-)

I'll need confirmations to include the number of passengers/kids coming with attendees, so we can organise the Bbq and drinks.

    • Long time no random post about shit. So I went down this deep deep rabbit hole of battery storage for the home, ended up locking in a 41.9kWh Fox ESS EQ4800 with 9 units stacked. Battery uses Lithium Iron Phosphate, similar to what you find in those deep cycle boat/caravan batteries. And yes, why did I go with a cheapie brand and not like Synergy? simply because I don't plan to stay at this house for more than another 3~5 years.  The entire install, DC coupling (removal of existing invertor, connecting the current 6.6kW array direct to the battery invertor), new 8kW invertor is $6K all up (after all the rebates etc.). Going with this lot: https://www.aussiesolarbatteries.com.au/ It did seem a bit too good to be true, however seems like the Whirlpool community has vetted it and when it comes to this kind of stuff, they seem to be all over it: https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/thread/9pxj8482?p=38   I've requested for the battery to be installed outside, next to my meter board and not inside - rather have it combust and ignite outside lol.    
    • In Vic it would be a defect regardless of whether or not you cut a hole in the sheetmetal for the return pipe. The rules in Vic are shitful, and are generally interpreted as you can "make 2 mods to the intake system". Putting an FFP and an FMI onto it will almost certainly be seen as some huge number of intake mods. You really need to speak to an engineer before doing this stuff in VIC.
    • planning a r34 rb25 de+t with some other work, rather just have it done in a shop due to space limitations any recommendations? I have most the parts already I seen online Moore Performance and DR Drift any advice appreciated thanks 
    • I’ve read the previous posts so just looking for latest information on how people have dealt with front facing plenum is it a defect etc or didn’t pass roadworthy or was it not noticed? Have a r34 and deciding if I should make a hole on the driver side or not.  I know some people have said blitz return flow but I might get rid of the stock intake down the line for a plenum so I rather set up for that now plus I already have a standard Intercooler. Car is mainly stock  Thanks. 
    • Actually, if having and keeping the stock ECU is the plan, the correct answer is to put Nistune into the ECU and improve the situation, not just look at it.
