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

    • Its also worth mentioning that 30 years after it left the factory and god knows how many missed oil changes since, there is every possibility that one or more lifters are ticking because they are sticky/gummed up. To resolve that you need to pull the cams then pull each lifter, disassemble, clean, reassemble, soak in oil and re-install, and they should come up good as new.
    • What air filter are you running? Is it a panel filter in the stock air box, or a pod filter? Is the air filter the type that is oiled?   If you unplug the IACV, what rpm does the engine idle at?
    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
