Great day!! The drive down was better then I expected, I was thinking with that many people that it was going to be a crawling pace down to the coast.We ended up going home (launceston) via derby and Scottsdale, had fish and chips at St Helens, perfect day for a cruise!!!

Well I don't think we could have asked for a better day for a cruise, amazing weather, amazing people and I got to be on TV! haha.

Today we collected a Total of $2230.50! Woot!

Thanks for all the donations guys! Will be handing it to rotary on Thursday!

hey man, PM details on how to make an 'after event' donation

Yesterday started out pretty stressfully, had my car in getting one of the wheels re-rolled since Tuesday and had checked on it the 3 days prior to the cruise, being told it would be ready the next day each time. Turned up on Saturday and it had probably been completed but left in the workshop, so ended up running around franticly to get a set of wheels from home and turning up late with near zero grip tyres on 300zx wheels on the front of my car and sticky new tyres on the back :P (only the smaller front wheels could pass as possibly being legal, otherwise I would have opted for less rear grip).

After that start I still had an epic day, beautiful weather and some awesome cars. Was surprised to only really be slowed down too much by a single tourist campervan that refused to pull over on the twisties, other than that it was clean sailing. Saw an old corona had been pulled by the cops, but everyone seemed to pretty much behave themselves (even had people just cruising with a few p platers at 80 for a while on the way back down the coast road to Hobart). I was able to stalkishly put a few faces to names from the cars people were driving too which was nice, though I've forgotten already...

What happened to the guy on the bike? I didn't hear anything about it?

Tarrant Hayes, the guy who had the bike accident, is safe in hospital and had some ops last night . Luckily, he has only come out of the crash with a broken femur. If anyone has any of his things, could you send him a message on Facebook. We wish him all the best for a quick recovery!

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
