had an absolute blast!! Twas stu's and my first formal, wow, and not just the 'lines, but all the other models as well, loved the old monaros and gts, I was blown away by all the people lined up as we came through. Plus it was great to meet more forum members, yeah the rain was a buggar, but what a sight to see everyone fishtail it out of the t intersection!!!

Sister let me know she has organised some $ donations from her friends. Something like $10 each, so approx $140.

Assuming people are happy to donate their time/fuel, I figure we use it to buy a round or two afterwards, then donate the rest to SAU?

Jnr_J Top Turnout. Thanx for the offer of drinks at Kingo afterwards but with the rain and some splitting off for a feed was not much point. All were very happy to be a part of the cruise.

However, if you like you could come along to Trivia night on Tues an splash some cash over the bar or perhaps something similar for the Christmas cruise down the Cotter.

Thanks again everyone for coming, was a great turnout. My sister and her friends were stoked. Sorry we didn't fill all the cars but we sure had the numbers! I hadn't done a formal before, was much bigger deal than I'd expected. Hadn't expected so many cars from NSW etc. Couple a v nice supras/rx7s slipped in there too.

It's not easy to maintain a convoy in those conditions, maybe next time we have to arrange to pull over close to the dropoff and wait or something.

Good suggestion, I'll sort something out for the Christmas cruise - hook us all up with a bunch of food/beer.

My (other) sister took a bunch of photos, I'll post them up as soon as I get hold of them.

Thanks again everyone,

John

yw jon anytime it was a great turnout and i am sure everyone had fun. especially andrew and cassi lol. i think the wet weather was perfect for the liners to show some driving skills lol. but yeh once again i reckon everyone would say it was our pleasure in doing it for u

Hey - Sorry, was a shocker with the rain. Slowed n pulled over a few times but couldn't tell if everyone was caught up. SkylineGal was right behind me but couldn't see the car through rain n splashback.

 

Was nice meeting all. Catch up at Trivia night or the Christmas BBQ.  

 

Maybe a contact list for those who dont mind.

I wouldn't mind the contact thing because that way no one could get lost :P:( :ufo:

It was great to see everyone yesterday, shame about the rain! Couldn't get over the turnout at the formal and left feeling slighty deaf *blush*, hope you guyes and gals all had fun!!

ended up driving to belco alone with no music and almost sliding into a gutter. ended up driving 2 people but didnt want to cause i was hopin to have my friend with me instead and i almost got lost and had to cut a few people off. just wasnt a good night for me

for future reference

(PS. I dont normally answer private numbers)

Suggest though perhaps a swap of cell numbers in person maybe safer...Just that there is some real whacko's out there in cyber...

if anyone needs any of my contact detais just pm me, but in general alot of us have each others numbers, e.g. if you didnt have my number but had richards or supaflys you could call them and they'd have mine, its a good little system really.

cool pics John, ours need a bit of 'fiddling' with as they are a little blurred (getting used to the new toys settings). I have got them downloaded but finding it hard getting it all to work cos I am a computer/technical idiot. Am using 'camedia' , is there anyone who knows this program??? sending out an SOS!!!!!

The software should do most of the hard work and hopeful help you through it all.

    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
