The things we have to do for distant relatives.....

My father's cousin whom ownes a holiday resort in Sweden has called dad on the weekend asking for a favour...bloody relos...

And this favour happens to mainly involves me...like i am gonna drop my life here, put a stop to whatever i am doing and cancel my plans for him...pppffffttttt... some nerve i tells you...

Well the task at hand is that his Swedish accountant's Swedish daughter :wassup: is coming to melbourne for a seminar/course and i am instructed to show this lady around town and make sure she has a great time. :)

So i was just wondering, even though i have some places in mind to take her, what are some spectacular landmarks/venues/places etc. to take her and show our wonderful melbourne culture,spectacular scenery and hospitality to make sure that she will want to come back for more :)

It be great if you guys can post some places that will impress her as i need to start making plans soon...

anyway i think i will stop my whinging :) now and wait for some great ideas. :headspin:

:thumbsup:

Show her ya backseat!

Do it properly and im sure she'll keep coming back!

Take her to a beach, a nice beach, prolly get her nice and wet! :D

Theres no beaches in Sweden they have to go to another country (Italy i think) to go to a a beach.

Ive been a swedish tour guide b4 :)

In Melbourne you could show her speed cameras, maybe get defected...you know...a bit of Chaps cruising.

Otherwise this dump is a bust so get her to Queensland!!! And don't waste her time on the 'footy'.

Healesville

Zoo

Dandenongs - eg. Puffing Billy

Beach - 12 Apostles

Daylesford - hot springs

Footy - dont listen to Geoff

Museum

Scienceworks

Restaurants - there is a great Aussie one in Berwick (The Dig Tree - i think) serves kangaraoo/emu/croc/goanna/etc

I-Max Theatre - some people think its exciting

Cruise down the Yarra River

Phillip Island - penguin parade

Bar 20/Mens Gallery - im kidding

Lilydale/Yarra Glenn - wineries

Mt Buller/Mt Stirling/etc - scenery is amazing or go horseriding/white water rafting/skiing (depending)

Casino

Melbourne has heaps of stuff for tousits to spend money on - check out websites - heaps of tours etc.

Tourism Victoria - http://www.visitvictoria.com/

Ask her what she wants to do while shes here - she'll probably have it all worked out by herself what she wants to see and what she doesnt.

Boring!!!

Victoria, you can live in it....but it feels like crap, even the strip clubs are second rate. The worlds most livable city as long as you stay underground.

A few laps of PI is worth the effort but penguins??

GOR is one long speed trap and the rocks are, well, rocks.

Mountains?? Where does she come from? Europe! Been there and done that on real ones no doubt and as for our excuse for snow...... She'll need acres of sand and endless sun with evenings of Bundy and good seafood, rainforest and other tropical delights such as rafting at Tully (ok a bit of a drive then)

Wine, well plenty of Whine in vic...like an airport this place but yeah I prefer the Goulburne valley...or better yet, adelaide

Queensland

Oh and a rugby union game or two. I recommend Northcote, Melbourne or Harlequins for good games.

I can't believe you suggested Scienceworks Bec. It's nearly enough to have your SAU membership revoked.

My Mrs is Canadian and when her family have come over they have really enjoyed cruisin to places such as the Black Spur and the surrounding area's including Warburton.

And wineries are a good one too. Nothing wrong with getting Sweedish chicks drunk mate.

And is she's stella and worth a weekend away - go to Lakes Entrance as the beach option. 90 Mile Beach is the best beach. Otherwise if its just a day trip - The Prom. Sqeaky Beach is cool and they have all those parrot things down there to crap on your head if you take some bread or something.

But don't go to Scienceworks FFS!

I had a swedish exchange student chick stay with me for a year when i was younger...... (hm good times) We took her to lots of places but i remember she liked the rialto viewing deck at night alot. Umm goin to some of the rainforests, prom, beaches and stuff are always good. I guess its just a matter of showin her stuff that she cant do at home. Oh and theres always the pub 2

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
