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.

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
