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.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
