How are you getting there? See what the other 3 guys say but we might be able to fit you in the car, it is a 'family' car lol. The place I'm eyeing off for accommodation sleeps 5, but I need to check where everyone else is staying first.

edit: are most people (as in outside of SA) staying in Shepparton or Benalla?

Driving there :)

+1 SLED, looks good.

I just booked a 2 bedroom cabin for myself, Fliggy, Aberax and Matty Sherlock at Goulburn Valley Motor Village, which is on the same road as BIG4.

Just had a look at that one Dion.......the one I pointed out has a pool and looks much nicer.......was the Goulburn Valley Village much cheaper than the one below maybe?

BIG4 Shepparton Parklands

I'm tempted to bring my big van down for this event

It's 6 and a pair of 3's really.

Me, Vu, Abe, Matt Sherlock and Norman have secured a 'superior town cabin' and its only costing us $99.60 for all 3 nights each. That includes all linen, unlike the 'standard family cabin' at BIG4 that only has linen for 2 people, and you cant book the 'luxury villas' at BIG4 for any less than 4 nights :/

Also, those who have not been to Shepparton before, bring some spare coin to splash at the SPC factory outlet. I can remember several times loading up the car from there, nobody goes hungry on the drive home haha.... and for a couple of weeks.

My auntie/uncle/nanna/cousin (aka Matt Sherlocks mate - small world) live over there, so I'm quite familiar with the region.

BIG4 Shepparton Parklands

I've just been online with this particular park and I'm leaning towards this park for good reasons.

1) facilities (including pool) kill the other park

2) the most you'll pay for a top of the line Luxury Villa (sleeps 6) is $35 per night if you share.......they also have Family, Deluxe & Standard Cabins that are cheaper again.

3) 3 Star Park vs 4 Star Park

3) much nicer BBQ areas

4) Resort style park vs Bush style park

I'll get a map of this park and post it in this thread

PS: Dion, not sure if you've paid a deposit on at the Goulburn Park yet......or if you even want to consider changing to this one........leave it up to you guys either way

I'm happy either way dion, but would be good to be staying where a majority of others are

Just noticed what you said about "4 nights minimum stay" Dion.

That is def the case if you're booking online............I'll ring them tomorrow and see if it's negotiable

I think they charged me a 1 night deposit (though this isnt reflected in my netbank), but as its more than 30 days from the date it can be refunded.

If the other place is negotiable, I will change it, I just wanted to put my name on something ASAP in case it all filled up.

We have to sing "We're going to Bonney Doon" in the car haha

Haha yeah. I've been there more times than I can remember, but I've never seen the movie. Ive even been to the house it was filmed at. Shane's parents place is on the same lake too.

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
