The Flinders Cerberus display used to show the deck guns firing, big guns that made bigger noise. I used to be able to hear the 4.5 inch turret from over 20k's away.

They would fire multiple Bofors, 40mm AA gun, the 4.5 inch deck gun emplacement, and my favourite, the 50 cal, due to me standing only a few feet away with cartridges flying around my feet. I loved that shit, I bet it's too dangerous these days in our bubble wrap society.

Quite often they had to temporarily stop firing, due to fishing boats putting into the firing range, as they were shooting at a floating target. Also the AA and 50 cal would fire at a Cessna towing a target, you would have to be mad to fly that plane. Fond memory's. :)

I would think these days she'll be a tad different... The whole Navy has changed... She ain't what she used to be hhaha.

It would have been 25 years ago.

I assume our ships still have those antique guns strapped to the deck though, and the Navy boys need somewhere to train before they go out and shoot at all those dangerous floating containers... :)

Hey guys,

Thanks for all the replies as far as I know it will be the same as last open day, the wets will be open for a demo (trainee bosuns will be conducting that) and the will be a parade with blanks fired, but that's about it as far as I know.

If you are going to come aboard with your car just pm me your name and rego so we can organize passes early!

Cheers

Sam

I remember about 13-14 years ago when I last went down to HMAS Cerberus they were still doing the live fire demonstrations. As a kid it was totally awesome watch them shoot stuff and blow things up :)

Their just looking for some fresh meat. Slap those steel jocks on before you get there ;)

Saying that I used to got there as a kid. Still remember the helicopter demo. Plus when we go fishing in Western Port you see ships there regularly. The sub is cool.

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      By steven7270 · Posted

      So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?

      Rusty roof repair

      Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!

      That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
