no i never actually went either

NOOOOOO!!! Sad Abe is Sad :blink:

What is AVCON and who is Cosplay?

AVCON = Anime & Video-game Convention, its actually Adelaide Anime & Video Game Convention - can't entirely remember, been ages since I volunteered there.

Cosplay = Costume Play, ie Dressing up as an Anime/Manga/Video Game Character.

I think I mentioned something about AVCON last year in the wasteland, lol.

EDIT: Anyone not feeling like working tomorrow, go to PJ O'Brian's tonight, AVCON should be having the after party there, mainly the volunteers and committee members. They used to have it there other years when I went, not sure about now.

Just happened to find these on my pc from 2006

For some reason, I could see female Ninjas :P

Fark how is it I have been to pretty much every brand lan ever held in Adelaide and am a bona-fide games geek, yet have never heard of this?

Can someone please give me a heads-up before it is on next year? Wouldn't mind going for a look at upcoming games technologies and smashing some n00bs at Starcraft II.

In that vein, who has pre-downloaded Starcraft II ready to activate when their key is released on Tuesday?

You won't really find that there, its more your retro games and consoles etc...however last year when I snuck in, they had a LAN tent (20 odd pcs, playing CSS). If you want games and tech, check out E-Games in November in Melbourne, been there twice, wasn't bad. Both times Sexpo was on nextdoor, so if you get bored of one, go to the other...but you will have to pay another entry fee.

Ok, so who's up for a end of Oct Melb SAU geek road trip? I could drive our comfy CRV over, all stay at my sister-in-law's place ....

edited - end of Oct, not Nov

Manifest!? Sure, why not.

They also have ban sticks :(

A group of 4 could easily do it leaving Fri evening 6pm, take turns in driving/watching movies/sleeping and arrive Melbourne 3am. Sleep until 10am and then head in to the Con. If it a 2 day pass could also go for a look on Sunday morning, then leave Melbourne 2pm and get back 10/11pm'ish Sunday night.

Sounds like a good weekend.

My GF sells her artwork in the Artist Alley every year at AVCon. She does very well and has attracted (as she puts it) “AVCon stalkers” who apparently go just to buy her artwork. Unfortunately I didn’t go this year due to other commitments but would have liked to go :) She’s planning to head to Manifest next year so I might come along with her.

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
