A collective featuring some of Australia's most popular contemporary musicians will perform at WAVEAID - a once in a generation event to generate much needed funds for the millions of people whose lives have been irreversibly impacted by the recent Tsunami disaster in Asia.

WAVEAID, a major concert event with over eight hours of music will be held at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Saturday January 29th from 2.00pm - 10.30pm. Such an unprecedented event has sparked one of Australia's all time favourite live bands into action for the evening as MIDNIGHT OIL join in to do their bit as part of this massive Australian music fundraiser. WAVEAID will also feature live sets by POWDERFINGER, whose performance will be on the back of a sold out Hordern Pavilion and the Sydney Big Day Out as well as THE JOHN BUTLER TRIO, KASEY CHAMBERS, NICK CAVE (in intimate mode), THE WAIFS, THE FINN BROTHERS, MISSY HIGGINS, PETE MURRAY and for their first Australian performance in nearly two years SILVERCHAIR. The WAVEAID concert will also premiere THE WRIGHTS (featuring members of Jet, The Living End, Grinspoon, Powderfinger, Spiderbait, You Am I & Dallas Crane) performing Stevie Wright's classic Australian hit Evie Parts I, II and III.

Tickets are only $58.00 plus booking fee and will go on sale Monday January 17th. Ticketek are donating back all profits from booking fees and charges.

To ensure that maximum money is raised, the event organisers are engaging suppliers to either work free of charge or at cost. All those including the bands, managements, promoters and publicists involved in staging this event are donating their time free of charge.

The income expenditure analysis will be published straight after the concert on the WAVEAID web site (www.waveaid.com.au), via a press release and in print media. The net proceeds from the event will be distributed to AUSTRALIAN RED CROSS, OXFAM/COMMUNITY AID ABROAD, UNICEF, and CARE AUSTRALIA charity organizations.

Of their involvement in this event, the following artist's said today,

"We are highly motivated to join fellow Australian performers in what will be a momentous occasion. For this is clearly a time in history for everyone to pitch in and help the people who are struggling to hold on to their lives in the wake of such a shattering event. On such an occasion Midnight Oil hopes all fans will come out and make 'Waveaid' a huge fundraising success." Peter Garrett - Midnight Oil

"The tsunami is a disaster of a proportion that is hard for us to comprehend in Australia. The devastation and loss of life is horrific. Lives have to be pieced back together and a helping hand has to be out stretched immediately. This is a time to come forth and help on whatever level you can. 'Waveaid' is our opportunity to stand and be counted and we implore you to make sure you're by our side January 29th." Bernard Fanning - Powderfinger

"Obviously any person with a heart wants to do whatever they can right now to try and provide some help to all the people who are suffering. Everyone wants to do their little bit so the cricketers play cricket, the TV people do a TV show and the musicians play a gig. The fact that it's turned out to be such a big gig just shows what an undeniable cause this is. It should be a really memorable occasion." Daniel Johns - Silverchair

"If we as musicians can help bring people together, this seems the very least we can do to help our fellow human beings affected by this disaster." John Butler - The John Butler Trio We urge Sydneysiders to support this event and our fellow citizens of the world.

Garrett to rejoin Oils for aid concert

19:49 AEDT Wed Jan 12 2005

The beds will burn yet again for Midnight Oil, with Labor MP Peter Garrett reprising his role as the band's frontman for a one-off event.

Garrett will take to the stage with a who's who of Australian musicians at WaveAid, an eight-hour concert event to raise funds for victims of the Indian Ocean tsunami.

"We are highly motivated to join fellow Australian performers in what will be a momentous occasion," said Garrett, now the Labor MP for the Sydney seat of Kingsford Smith.

"For this is clearly a time in history for everyone to pitch in and help the people who are struggling to hold onto their lives in the wake of such a shattering event.

"On such an occasion, Midnight Oil hopes all fans will come out to make WaveAid a huge fundraising success."

The concert will be held at the Sydney Cricket Ground on January 29 with 11 big Australian names headlining the event.

Artists are Midnight Oil, Silverchair, Nick Cave, Powderfinger, The John Butler Trio, Kasey Chambers, The Waifs, The Finn Brothers, Missy Higgins, Pete Murray and The Wrights.

Silverchair - singer Daniel Johns, drummer Ben Gillies and bass player Chris Joannou - will also regroup for the event after taking a two-year break to pursue other projects.

"It has been two years since we finished the last tour which makes it even more special for us," Joannou said.

"We do start rehearsals soon so the pressure is on."

Organisers said an event of this size would normally cost about $3 million to put together.

But all talent, management, promotion and publicists were donating their time.

The net proceeds from the event will be distributed to charities including the Australian Red Cross, Oxfam Community Aid Abroad, Unicef and CARE Australia.

Tickets cost $58 plus a booking fee which Ticketek will donate to the charities.

With 30,000 tickets going on sale January on 17, the money raised could amount to $1.74 million.

    • I had 3 counts over the last couple of weeks once where i got stranded at a jdm paint yard booking in some work. 2nd time was moving the car into the drive way for the inspection and the 3rd was during the inspection for the co2 leak test. Fix: 1st, car off for a hour and half disconnected battery 10mins 4th try car started 2nd, 5th try started 3rd, countless time starting disconnected battery dude was under the hood listening to the starting sequence fuel pump ect.   
    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
