From what I've read on ns.com, it's still going ahead. If it's pouring rain, then looks like it will be cancelled.

In saying that, I hope Jizzles will take the weather conditions down here into consideration, as it might be better than Sydney if it's raining up there.

Just a heads up for us South Cost peeps:

As Jizzles has mentioned already we'll meet at the bottom of Mount Ousley in the car park instead of North Gate Maccas, less popo and more parking availability.

Arrive at carpark: 1:15pm

Leave: 1:45pm sharp

For those not sure where it is exactly, here is a link on google maps:

http://maps.google.com.au/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Mount+Ousley+Rd&daddr=-34.4165413,150.8597161+to:-34.3942982,150.8461402+to:Picton+Rd&geocode=FRAS8_0dqUT-CA%3BFWPY8v0dxO_9CClHi6CMKRoTazEQbJflZ30BEw%3BFUYv8_0dvLr9CCkRf0PzxBsTazGg4Uifa30BEw%3BFQh-9P0ddBj8CA&hl=en&mra=dvme&mrcr=0&mrsp=1&sz=16&via=1,2&sll=-34.413725,150.865588&sspn=0.015649,0.033023&ie=UTF8&ll=-34.402732,150.881488&spn=0.015651,0.033023&t=h&z=16

This map also contains the route we should take if we're going up Mount Keira, which will be more fun than Mount Ousley imo.

For people more south who aren't that familiar with Wollongong area, take a few minutes to study the route in case you get stranded behind in traffic when we take off.

Of course we'll pull over a couple of times to allow people to catch up and assemble, so don't worry too much.

If people arent too keen on doing Mt. Keira, then we'll just go up Ousley instead.

Anyways, if South Coast people can reply here to confirm they've read this and attending, then we'll know what to expect for tomorrow then.

PS Jizzles: Maybe you can give me your number so I can tell you if weather permits down here in the morning.

Also what channel are you going to be on? In saying that, UHF Ch 4 is good for down here cause there's a repeater that covers Wollongong area, so its good for talking long distances on our little hand helds. Just keep in mind there will probably be alot of truckies and bogans talking on it lol

Good stuff oddsock :)

Humbla: If you look at point A on the google map link and zoom in all the way you will see the carpark. You wont miss it ;)

Or if you're going to north gate maccas, go up Mt Ousley road which is directly opposite and it will take you to the bottom of Mt Ousley where the carpark is.

Follow point A to B on google maps:

Lol yeah, we spent over an hour getting the cars positioned for photos, so I can understand why people are getting anxious to see some car pr0n.

Hopefully Jizzles will deliver soon :)

The cruise itself was pretty good. I didn't expect so many people at the Wollongong Pre meet. Made the Mt Keira route much more fun :)

Didn't really count how many there were, but you can count how many in the photos when they come out :P

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
