Ok ladies/gents.

There was talk about a SAU-Camping event again on Sat.

ie, down GOR, camp the night, then move onto the 12 Apostles and the other tourist style sights on that part of the GOR that you really cant do in one whole day.

This is something you will have to committ 100% too.

Cant have pikers, and it will require a deposit etc etc.

I was thinking around the 24th April, 3 weeks after MAS to give everyone a few weeks off for rest and relaxation and so-on.

We'd stay close to Apollo Bay at a camping ground i know of, that is very secure for valuable cars like ours.

So the element of security wont be a problem.

The location would be given out to those who actually committ of course.

Just to keep it relatively safe etc.

It'd be a later (11am) departure and probably head to Apollo Bay Hotel for beers/dinner etc.

And then more beers and all the comes with it at the camping ground.

What are peoples thoughts?

Any ideas to be thrown around ? ? ?

I know this is a bit early, but something like this needs a bit of planning.

There are a few fishing spots.

There is sea (obviously) and fresh water places.

*The harbour pier

*Surf Fishing

*boat (if you bring one yourself you can do that)

*off the rocks too.

*local fresh water estuaries etc.

I know of lots, dunno how successful you'll be at getting something of an edible size.

But i can certainly show you the areas to go. That's easy done.

Depending on the tides, i'll be able to go and pick-up some good amounts of Abalone for a BBQ ;)

I have a few places where they can be found but i aint telling no-one over this forum where they are hiding. hehehe!

There is also good surf fishing for Salmon about 10 mins from where we are...

But i dunno when salmon season is :) so i cant help too much.

Sounds good ash. Just set the date and i'm there.

I'm thinking you're going to need a fair bit of planning for camping room if it ends up as big as Saturdays GOR cruise.

My car will well and truely be back on the road by then so my hand is up. Let me know if you guys need a hand planning anything mate.

I very much doubt we'll get 45 committed people to camping.

Well im secretly hoping we dont lol!

It'll be a logistics nightmare.

But nothing that cant be done of course with some planning ;)

But in a few weeks i'll go for a quick run down to the camp site (when i get my car back too incidently)

I'll get all their brochures and let them know we might have a reasonable booking coming up to get the ball rolling. See how much of a deposit (if any) they require etc.

So if anyone wants to come for quick belt one morning PM me to keep it outta this thread.

You can come for the food if you like ;)

That's provided i can get it... see, it's dependant on the low tide.

That's the only problem.

As for Camping Equipment... it'll be totally BYO, unless you can find someone to tent it with.

BBQ's etc, is something that we'll look at separately.

It's upto you if a swag will be enough. If it rains, you'll look like a drowned rat in the morning though...

I am definately interested, and keen. Haven't been campin for ages, due to the duck season :D being on hold. I'll bring the marshmellows!!

Would you have any objection to staging another cruise down to Apollo Bay, then the people that want to camp continue up, the others just head back home.

If nothing happens (future is unpredictable) my car would be more than ready to handle the twists, with the new suspension and braking mods :).

damn... would love to come but got no campin equipment

Go to K-Mart and pick a tent up for cheap! Actually I think I have a spare 2 man tent if any people are really keen but dont have one.

For that matter my main tent is so massive it can sleep about 10! :wassup:

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
