Yeah, I just compared the two and the new one is a LOT bigger...

Don't forget our meeting on the 30th of January, at the shanty hotel (10 east of Wagga on the sturt hyway). This will be to discuss a larger overnight event for rural NSW and some others :D

I went to Narrandera Drags on 23rd. Got there at 10 and was gone by 12. Most sh1tful site I've ever been to. Hot, dry, dusty, hot, extra dusty, the veiwing was bloody woeful, 10 deep at the fence, no grandstands [even temporary ones would have been OK], the track was at 60 degrees away from the spectators, hot, bl00dy dusty, you could hear stuff going on, but you couldn't see diddly squat, dusty, dust everywhere and hot, no shade, and dust.

Carpark was a saltbush stubble wasteland, ground my car out a couple of times, needed my 4WD hilux.

You'd be better off going to Eastern Creek, Heathcote, or Calder, even the old Canberra strip was better [it actually wasn't too bad].

I won't be back, waste of money. And I reckon - going on the number of cars and motrobikes leaving when I was - that I'm not the only one thinking like this.

I agree with Narrandra, I arrived 11:00, was gone by 1. HEAPS of people left when I did. Had my vid carmera there and the footage I have says it all, boring, and far far away.

The drags themselves were good, and there seemed to be some fast cars having a big go (the trail bike lighting the back wheel was gold). The competitors did try and put on a showHowever if they built a dragstrip out here it might be a different story.. the carpark was like Ace Ventura in the 4wd bumping around.

The meeting on the 30th however offers all members flat parking, cool drinks and aircon. :P AND an oppurtunity to catch up with fellow liners.

Meeting at the Shanty pub on Sunday the 30th Jan start at 1200 midday.

The Shanty is located 15 kms East of Wagga Wagga on the Sturt Hyway.

The purpose - to organise a larger scale country event.

We have to think about food, drink, entertainment, and accommodation.

And, we are all different, all ages, and ethnic backgrounds etc etc etc so whatever we do we have to do for everyone.

Some time would people be interested in doing a cruise to Ulladulla? Which is halfway between sydney and canberra. Im right in the middle right on the beach. Really nice place here and a big carpark which would be perfect and sometimes cruises come down here to it :D

Id be keen to cruise up from the far south coast.

Post this on the south coast thread and you may get some interest aswell:)

sweet :D So do yas wana arrange something to here some time?

We could arrange something for in a month or so.

Lets try to get some kind of date which is good for everyone. Im pretty easy so most any times as long as its a weekend.

Im trying to organise a cruise to canberra on 18th feb to go see the butterfly effect with a few mates. Im also goin up that day to get some stuff done to the car. So it can be a day mission or an overnighter - its up to you.

Im keen for a cruise on any weekend really. You name a day and date and we'll most probably be there.

Like I said previously, post this on the south coast thread as there is a few lads from Narooma who might be keen aswell.

:D

Sounds interesting guys :D Keep us posted.

I'll do the 18th though... sounds like a good date :D Crusing to Canberra, then some Braddon and whatever else the night brings..... and the butterfly effect :(

Don't forget the 30th!!!

how far away from ulladulla is the cruise on the 30th? if its not to far i might consider comeing.

Ummm I think its a fair way... According to travelmate.com it's about 440kms,

But you are more than welcome to come along! Bring a carload!!

:rave:

If anyone is interested (ARM) have a look see in my gallery, I've got a heap of the fatz drift day piccies there.

Cheers!!

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
