oh damn.

but srsly, probably driving it in one hit.

I think towing is going to be slow, plus we have 2 additional hours to travel so stopping will be on the cards...

yeah, can understand why youre doing it.

If the others wanna do the straight through run with you it's no problem... I would say our top speed ain't gunna be flash so it'll be a long haul haha

I'll be doing the drive over 2 days. Don't need to rush it and it will be the longest road trip I've done through parts of the country I haven't seen. Besides, if we follow the landcruiser it can deal with the roos!

Where is Adam when we need him?!

He can lead the pack.....surely he's got around to installing a roo bar by now!

Oh snap!!

have done in one hit before.

I should have a second driver to swap and rest.

will see closer to the date.

Yeah we did Newcastle to Cobden in one hit with just me driving (1330km i think) but its just not worth the hassle, not when towing and limited to speeds etc.... But you guys can head straight through and we can meet you there, its no problem at all.

I'm looking at staying overnight in Mildura.

10 hours first day, easy 4 - 5 hours the next and roll into Fingeryourdadelaide early arvo. Found some accom there, $80 for the night in a cabin.

Thoughts?

We will need something with safe off street parking etc, that was probably our only concern...

The place I was looking at had on-site parking.

Couple that with parking your tow car infront of cars and whatnot, will be safe as houses.

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
