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.

    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it. 
    • Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
