Bad fuel killed it, need to pump the tank dry and change plugs etc to hopefully sort that out.

Need to replace the coilovers as the rears are dead from Texi..... Properly dead haha

that sucks mate...was it dodgy flex or dodgy 98?

I think 16 cable ties should hold the BOV down temporarily thanks to Chookie :woot:

lolz :woot:

Sounds like a good distance to me

I think I posted one in here somewhere as well not sure of distance though

Yeah dig it up Martin! Also, how did you go with that meet up we talked about??? Any luck???

Dodgy flex, but NOT due to caltex, due to a storage issue i believe.... So my bad i would say!

Found it see below

Put up the EOI and will post in the events next week

Will ring the guy back on Sunday to book a few spots as there seems to be a bit of interest

Have a look on google maps at the back roads from Bolwarra to Singleton

Basically go along Maitland Vale rd then along Stanhope Rd and turn onto Elderslie Rd and go along till you get to Gresford Rd to go into Singleton

Or we could meet at say Hexham for a cruise and lunch to Nelson Bay or somewhere

Let's see what everyone thinks

I gota 4hr wait at the airport

I remember when the wife and I were on the return from our honeymoon and we had a 5 hour wait at Los Angeles airport

Managed to check in super early and leave the bags as well so got a cab to the pub and had a few drinks as well as a nice walk along the beach and out on one of the piers

Good times

Oh and Vegas f**kin rocks

You will have fun

Only advice I can give you is whatever you are thinking of spending double it

Oh and go to the Mirage for tea one night

I went there and ordered a steak. Cost $55 U.S but for the 24 ounces was worth every cent

righto,

Some ideas for potential crusie routes:

Possible route 1-

Newcastle to Coolongolook via buckets way and old pacfific hwy - lots of spagetti road - round trip ~250km

The plan would be to meet at ~10am and cruise along the route and arrive at ~1pm for lunch at the salty dog cafe.

Possible route 2-

Newcastle to boomerange beach via buckets way and lakes way- more spagetti road - round trip ~280km.

The plan would be to meet at ~10am and cruise along the route and arrive at ~1pm for lunch at hueys at blueys pizzeria

route2.png

possible route 3-

Newcastle to singleton via maitland vale road - mmm spagetti - round trip ~180km

The plan would be to meet at ~10am and cruise along the route and arrive at ~1pm for lunch somewhere (need suggestions)

route3.png

possible route 4-

Newcastle to Fingal Bay via Anna bay - good views - round trip ~ 130km

The plan would be to meet at ~10am and cruise along the route and arrive at ~11:30 for a BBQ lunch (need to confirm facilities) next to the beach along marine drive

route4.png

Feel free to comment, make further suggestions...

The 1st one looks good mate, although i had abit of a look at the road from booral to buladelah and it looks very rough, and if its still as bad as on street view, then may need to avoid it as will only be able to do 40kph etc. although wooten way from buladelah to wooten looks like alot of fun, alot of it is 3 lanes in the twistys which will make it alot of fun.. definately need to hit up that section for sure.

the nelson bay drive is pretty boring, i grew up out there so i know a few spots for pics etc.. but its a very cruisy drive...

went for a quick drive by through stockon yesterday (cant remeber if ive actually ever been to the town part ha), there are some great spots for pics over there, might take my car over there sometime soon for some pics if anyone wants to join?

Stockton was where I think we should do a regular meet and BBQ, say once a month or fortnight or whatever... Great spot for pics and convenient and no real police attention so it's relaxed!!!

Buladelah and Wooten way are awesome!!! Mainly because Wootten is my last name :D haha

Top work on the cruise routes though, awesome stuff!!

I've never been north or west of Newcastle so I have no clue. But I'll go with the flow. Keen for twists.

I want new tyres for Sau nats in nov, Probs shoulda went harder at Texi Lolol.

Matt, are you a rich mother f**ker that owns Wooten?

Lots of cows and paddocks too see man! :thumbsup:

If i was rich i wouldnt be worried about the cost of coilovers :P They just named the town after my awesomeness? lol

Anyway, i got work too do.... No SAU for me :domokun:

+1 for Fingal/stockton just bought a 1999 34 GTR in bayside so i need a chance to take some pics of her :D

More than welcome to come up for pics, a few good cameras and keen photographers in the group..... The 34's are really getting a strong group together between the Coast and Newy :D

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
