It's fun, but I can guarantee you'll get stuck in a traffic jam of slowarse cars .... especially on a Sunday more than any other day!!!

haha cool, just checking! If I make it, I will be there at 10.... would rather sleep than hang out at Maccas for an hour

To leave at 10am?

Yeah I know, they're clamped on good but when I had issues before they were too - it was more a bit of a build up of gunk that was doing it and making the connection fail, rather than any looseness. I figured with a brand new battery it would all be clean and sorted, but maybe the clamps are still gunky on the inside?

Kat's away so I don't think she'll be on here this week. From the NSW thread it looks like they'll get there at 12pm-ish, so we could leave at 10am (below link says it will take 1hr 49mins at Google pace).

Mine has been fine, but I've been too scared to use the high beams It wasn't the alternator. I'm thinking it might be the clamps on the battery? Tats said he had a similar issue where doing just one "extra" thing stole too much power and made the car shut down and he discovered one of his clamps hanging off. Mine aren't hanging off, but I've had problems with them before.

I'm still in my PJs We did a fathers day dinner last night. I really should go out and get some sunlight considering I've just been told I'm really really low in vitamin D

hehe twat I haven't done that, but I've come to a stop and automatically pushed my foot in where the clutch should be It just feels wrong NOT to.... the car should stall!

Yay! Don't think I saw you...

Is your Google broken? http://www.the-lowdown.com/showcased-2013/

Or you could always stay at Hay or Narrandera.... you'll see the AWESOME hotel at Hay as you drive past on the highway, it's next to the servo, which is where you'd probably have to have dinner

This is where I've stayed every time I've driven to Adelaide.... there really is nowhere else that's not a 2 horse town.... and you have options of places to stay and places to eat etc.

Silver R33 GTR at the Post Office at Tuggers. Seen it there a few times so I guess they work around there.

Orange 33 on Canberra Ave last night.... blonde in passenger seat, so all those who spot a blonde driving, maybe they take it in turns lol

Yeah true... I have no plans, so any time except morning haha. I might just check if my dad has one first, cos I'm going to try to visit him this arvo.

Eiji and Zeb, that would be great if you have time.... tomorrow after work, or some time on the weekend? Happy to sticky the thread if you guys want.... I'm bad with stickies though, I tend to ignore them LOL

We checked that Seems all good!

I might take it somewhere tomorrow, don't really want to call them out just for that (unless I get stuck here!). Battery is fine - it's brand new.

Yeah a guy at work said I should call the NRMA to check with a multimeter for me. I managed to get to work with a jump pack (didn't work straight away though, took a few goes) so I'll see how it goes when I try to get home lol What happened originally is that I used the high beam and the car went into limp mode (yes, warning lights on the dash, like when the coil packs go)... no power at all, even the stereo cut out. Got home, car only JUST started the next day, and then wouldn't start after work but a jump start got it going. That was last week and it's been fine all week (I haven't touched the high beams, been too scared). Then today..... nothing

99% sure it's the alternator Richard. It would make sense. I haven't touched the high beams since they drained the power and it's run fine for a week, then today - nothing.

My car wouldn't start today I thought of this thread straightaway!!! lol

I bet the GTR doesn't get there in 2 hours! I'll race ya.

That's why we're flying LOL

2011 was even better!!! Tats and I are in for this (decided yesterday) but will be flying.

All of the above and some ham/meat! Cappricossa FTW!
