Hey guys,

So I think a thread with things to do and go see in the ACT would be a worth while thing.

This will help new members or even people looking for things to do and are browsing the internet.

Lots of the things listed all over the place is parliament house and other attractions but maybe a few members have some secret places or activities they like doing.

I will start with one that I was told about and will get a layout happening that you can follow if you like.

Name: Island Getaway

Location: Off the edge of the Museum

Activity: There is an island that is situated just off the Museum which you are able to get to by boat.

My friends used a blow up boat purchased for $20 and rowed over there.

On this Island there is nice green grass a few trees and a BBQ! yep a bloody BBQ!

Take a boat full of snags etc and make a day of it with a few mates or a partner.

Could be romantic if you spent a little more then $20 on the boat haha.

Remember to take a BBQ scraper!

Items needed: BBQ things , blow up boat or other type of inflatable material,

Extras: *Warning* If your as daring as my friends they decided to keep floating down the river and ended up at the governor generals house and decided to go for a walk haha got chased by police as well.

Hope everyone gets in on this so I can find a few more things to do.

Also I am sure a few of you are stuck in a routine that you wouldn't mind getting out of.

It's called Springbank Island, Kasko!

Ok this is not very exciting, but if you love your doggy it's a nice spot. We had an SAU Xmas BBQ down here one time.

Name: Lazeh River Day :D

Location: Uriarra East Reserve, drive down the Cotter Road, turn at Uriarra Road, keep driving until you get to it

Activity: Only about 20mins from Weston. Laze around in the river in the sun, free from the dog nazis :P Lots of other friendly people who love their pupsters too. There's a "beach" and plenty of separate little spots if you want to get away from everyone else. Enormous grassy area to have a picnic or BBQ.

Items needed: Swimmers, sunscreen, beers, stubby holders, food (optional :D ) and dog!

Extras: Check if there's a fire ban before planning a BBQ as they are wood. On that note you may need to bring some firewood too.

Gordon adventure playground for the WIN!

Aside from having BBQ facilities, it offers a few very fun ways to break a limb, which is more than i can say for the rest of Canberra.

Just get some unsuspecting friend of loved one to cross the rope bridge thingy and start taking pot shots at them with a football.....

However this place is most suitable for either big kids or young families

Name: Gordon Adventure playground (not a very secret place)

Location: Uh, Gordon.....

Activity: BBQ's, General Shennanigans, Ball games, etc.

Items needed: Friends, Family, BBQ supplies, Food, Beers, Football.

You're right Kasko, there ain't much to do around here it would seem. lol.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      By Kapr · Posted

      The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

      NC MX5

      The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week

      Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
