in my experience, if you are going to stay somewhere average it may as well be cheap too. I've not been impressed with travelodges although I haven't stayed in the blacktown one.

Try the Ibis at Sydney Olympic Park its new cheap and close (1 freeway)

Thanks for the advice Duncan. The Ibis does look better, but it is $75 more expensive for the night. Just paid for accomm in Melb & it looked pretty good for $119. In Sydney I might have to lower my expectations or spend more money, lol.

Great advice Alex. For everyone else, my car is crap & not worth stealing, and it will be at the Sydney Hilton.:whistling:

nope, aboriginals. they used to ship them out there to keep them out of the rest of sydney, from memory.

Last time I was there it seems like there was mostly filo's there?

Then again I think its pretty much everyone there...

I'd rather be in Blacktown then Bankstown...:ph34r:

Chifely Eastern Creek Motel; http://www.discoveraustralia.com.au/hotels/chifley-eastern-creek-motel-sydney-24491.html

Only ten odd mins from Slacktown? $113 for two; you said you were travelling with your son?

Caravan Park in Slacktown? http://www.takeabrea...ccomodation.htm

It's right near the correctional centre, so at least you'll know where to start looking when your car/wallet/son goes missing...:whistling:

Never even bothered looking for accomodation in this part of the world before now.:rolleyes:

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Leon, that part of Blacktown isn't too bad, but TSI is on the other side of Blacktown, ant it's a surprisingly big area covered by just that suburb. The hotel is close to Eastern Creek on the south side, but TSI is on the north side.

Dale's suggestion of Hotel Formule 1 is probably a decent option, except for their reputation - no idea if it's still as bad as it apparently was (I've never personally stayed there). There are a few other options, if you want more info let me (or us) know, and we can ty and find something a bit closer.

None of mine are personal recommendations; just throwing around some budget options that weren't too hard to access.

The F1 was $60ish per night, so I wouldn't expect the Hilton.

More ideas welcome.

Thanks guys, especially Dale, for being so helpful. The biggest problem is most places had no vacancy on the Sat nite due to the long weekend holiday.

But I've made my booking (not the caravan park as I didn't like the idea of the correctional facility being so close :mellow:) so we can move on now to something more interesting, lol.

    • Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.
    • So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?
    • Ooo I might actually come and bring the kids, however will leave the shit box home and take the daily
    • Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!
    • That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
