Official event: Shepparton overnight stay and DECA fun day cheer squad cruise


Recommended Posts

To conincide with the DECA FUN DAY (event information) occurring on Sunday 6th June 2004... a leisurely drive up to Shepparton to cheer on the SAU competitors has been arranged.

Due to the distance (approx. 2hrs out of Melbourne) and time the DECA event starts, we have decided to drive up on the Saturday afternoon (05/06/04), check into a Motel, hit the Shepparton night life - with view to spend the night, allowing for the latest possible wake-up on the Sunday morning .

Details are as follows:

Date: Saturday, 5th June 2004

Time: 12 noon

Meeting Place: Ford Motoring Company, 1731 Hume Hwy, Campbellfield, Map 7 E3.

(There is a huge car park, just turn into the service road as you see the Ford Plant)

Accommodation (3+ star Best Western or similar): Approx $30p/p - twin/triple share rooms.

IMPORTANT: To finalize bookings we require you to:

1: Notify of your intention to join the cruise and number of persons to book accomodation for. Do this by posting in this thread.

2: Deposit the $30p/p into the following account:

National Australia Bank

BSB: 083419

Num: 683271757

Please identify the transaction with your username, name and number of people booked. Post in the thread when you have done it. Only when you have completed both steps will your booking be confirmed and name added below.

Bookings close 20/05/04. So be quick!

This cruise is open to EVERYONE, not just entrants to the DECA event. It is just a drive to Shepparton, so bring any car you like.

On Sunday non entrants are welcome to spectate the event and cheer on the SAU crew . But if you have your car there you will regret not entering . This is also open to NON skyline owners that wish to find accommodation for the event. Bring partners, friends & family.

People interested in enteringthe DECA event must arrange with Al via the event thread

CONFIRMED:

-> Al - Alan (R33 Gtst)

-> Jamezilla - James (R33 GTR)

-> Snowman - Andrew (R34 GTR)

Considering the amount of SAU entrants (skyline and non-skyline, ie:180's, 200's, etc.) there is little interest in this cruise :Oops:

Maybe people have already sourced their own accommodation?

I really should check the events section more often....

I could be up for the cruise, but might have to sort out the uni timetable first. Its 1 of the 2 months every year when uni gets busy :P

I also think that after the fun of last Friday for me that a stop off at the super fast Karts in Summerton on the Hume HWY on the way up? Will help with getting into a bit of practice before we try and turn the Skylines into go-karts on Sunday.

Just confirmed with Ula, and he is definately coming. Unfortunately he has been too busy to log on. He will give me the money and the number of people by the end of the week.

LAST CHANCE PEOPLE!

R32Big_Boy: The money for the accomodation goes to James and the money to enter the DECA event must be posted to the NORTHERN STREET CRUIZERS PO Box as stated on the bottom of the form. You have till the 1/06/04 to post the form and funds to Northern Street Cruizers.

-THE TWO ARE NOT RELATED!

Call me if you have any further questions: 0427 076490

James: I am not sure if i told you 3 or 4 friends are coming with me. I HAVE 4 FRIENDS THAT A STAYING WITH US. They are from the my other club and are definately coming as they are either acting as marshals or have entered their cars.

- So thats myself and 4 friends, from Northern Street Cruizers.

(NSC have booked 10 cabins and they are all full)

Was going to do Monday but will state now.

There are still plenty of spots left, just pm me your email address and i will email the form to you. Being so close to the event, just fill in the form and give it to me, with the money, on the Saturday as we cruise to shepparton.

Adz check your email :)

A few people have entered through SAU, but not all are Skylines. Very rough estimate would be approx 15 cars.

For accommodation please contact James directly, not too clear if rooms are still available, but there is a good chance that there is.

Hey I live in Shepparton and will be there on the sunday If you need accomadation I work at a hotel and might be able to get cheap accomadation for use if you need too.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
