Have to agree with TJ. Bit late to drop out now and leave Hamish to pick up the tab :)

I'm still working on Nikki and getting him to come to this; unfortunately it's a bad time of year for him, so he still can't commit..............yet

I agree....It's like leaving a deposit, once you decided and left a deposit, it should not be refundable.

And I still think we should tell other non sau members asap, so we can get the numbers up again, so Hamish won't have to lose money over this.

i asked for the thread to be transferred but it hasn't been yet.... migt put up my own thread :)

its just that the non members cant link o this one and i'm lazy lol

i wasn't aiming that comment as kris and cas... there are a LOT of people that promised they were coming and then just ignored pm's :/

meh, i'm over pushing for it now ;)

the less people the easier and anyone who was at this years GOR cruse overnighter will attest that a small group is a good thing :)

i've amended the menu so i'll pretty much be breaking even give or take a few $$$ :)

menu is looking great!

I would assume not given we hadn't paid yet.

Hence i let Hamish keep the cash i gave him.

My fault for not planning correctly.

For those that did not front with the cash and then pull out last min... bit harsh.

And for the people that all said "in in in" for the EOI and then disappear... that's just even worse.

anyway, lets not get al negative in here..... :(

final food prep is today then i'm driving up tomorrow, doing cruise notes and getting the food in the fridges!

Should do that, even just copy and paste the important info, or I could do that for you if you don't have time :)

Mt Buller Cruise / Dinner

Saturday 14th November/Sunday 15th Noveber:

Hey guys, I am holding a 2 day cruise / dinner event @ mt buller this month.

The drive will begin @ 10 am this Saturday morning in the Sandown Hotel car park (next to Sandown Raceway) from where we will head Mountain highway to Sky High @ mt Dandenong for a chat and photo's. From there we will be heading over the Black Spur for the awesome twisties and some lunch in Marysville, and then off to Mt Buller road for a Hillclimb, where we should arrive at around 3pm

Once at Mt Buller we have the whole of SKILIB lodge privately booked, rooms are "private Queen" or Bunk style and are included in the price. There is a full dining room that will fit 30 odd people as well as a large living area with fireplace and a seperate TV room.

Dinner will consist of 5 or 6 courses depending on final numbers, with plenty of finger food and snacks on arrival, and is also included in the price.

I am a professional chef and have worked for a decade in some of Melbourne's best restaurants, and will be catering the event.

remember to BYO alcohol! and lots of it!

On the return, we will travel back down Mt Buller road and then back across the Black Spur and through Gembrook area, then back to Melbourne.

Mansfield BP has been notified of the cruise and has guaranteed a supply of Ultimate for us, so any fuel woes are sorted!

The cost of the Cruise is $100 per head, which includes dinner and accommodation.

The official attendance thread can be found at: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Mt...ic-t292028.html (note this is a members section and will not work if you are not a paid member)

this was originally a members only event but is now open to the public.

sorry for the late notice but i've been super busy organizing this and trying to cram in an 80 hour work week!

bank details:

Hamish Hampton

BSB : 033152

ACCT : 241795

please use sau username as reference and shoot me a pm :(

How many were you planning on Hamish?

EDIT: Do you think Ash would make a closed thread on the main board to notify people of this event? Just cause I know not everyone subscribes or checks events regularly

    • I was 99% sure the standard one is long enough to get there, you might just have to change the throttle orientation. If not, I remember someone having used an r31 cable instead, but that is probably harder to find than r33 by now...
    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
