Hey guys,

One of the more revered members at Aus300zx has fallen victim to an unfortuntate tragedy. Eric's wife is currently in a semi conscious state after dying for 35min and losing a lot of blood (3.5L or so)! All this happened a few days after she gave birth to their 4th child. The guy has had to close down his shop and stay at home as the primary caretaker. Definitely a major loss for them.

Eric is the mechanic that a lot of the guys use and definitely knows his stuff and has a lot of credence and respect in their community.

You may remember Mike from aus300zx who joins us on different cruises, he's asked me to get you guys to join.

They reckon that they can bring 20 Zs for the cruise - lets show them what RBs (and VQs) can do!

  • WHY: A2ZED & WOOSHKA FUNDRAISER CRUISE - BBQ - SHOW & SHINE
  • WHEN: Sunday 3rd of March 2013
  • WHERE: Meet at Glenaffric St The Gap (there is a nice big carpark there) 9:30 for a 9:45-10 departure
  • WHO: OPEN TO EVERYONE!
  • WHAT TO BRING: CASH! :yes: ..lets not beat around the bush here!
  • ENTRY: What you can afford to give per car. Don't be a tight ass. I think a cost per car of $100 might be asking a bit much - so its really whatever you can contribute to the fundraiser.. (Even if its just $98 bucks!....) :woot: Seriously though, if thats too much, please just contribute whatever you can! .. like $95 bucks! (or whatever)...

Route:

  • Meet at Glenaffric St The Gap (there is a nice big carpark there) at say 9:30 for a 9:45-10 departure.
  • Cruise up over Mt Nebo and Mt Glorious. Stop at the bottom of Mt Glorious in one of the parks for a re-group and stretch of the legs.
  • Continue on to Fernvale Memorial Park on Brisbane Valley highway.
  • Arrive 12ish for a BBQ at 12:30.... everyone can sit around and have a good catchup!

Cost for BBQ:

  • $5 for a sausage in bun
  • $10 for a burger
  • $3 for a soft drink

"Yes inflated prices but its a fundraiser not a soup kitchen" - Loud'N'Proud ;)

Show and Shine 1pm - 2-2.30pm (THERE WILL BE PRIZES!)

Then head home via Warrego highway and Ipswich motorway.

We make available Wooshka stickers for donations / donating participants so you show off your support with pride! :woot:

Can you please advise early if you are coming so we can organise catering. Otherwise you might go hungry! (and ill take your money anyway! :yucky:

The guys would be there to help us if we lost one of our own (god forbid), so let's dig in and help them out!

Plenty of notice so hope to see you guys there!

Cheers,

Tony

Actually Tony i'm not 100% sure if we're even going to Toowoomba via Brisbane yet, it's going to cost us too much money in flights and travel and everything. Plus we've left it a bit too late to book flights so the prices have gone way up and we are awful at committing to plans. I'll let you know but.

    • Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
