Just wondering if anyones been out of late? Havent been in the last few weeks, due to the weather, and the fact no ones posted on here lol. Might be able to make it this friday, will see.

I was thinking about getting out there this week... SteadyEddy will prolly want to make an appearance too. Depends on what time Rebecca (daughter) finishes soccer.

i will be out within the next month (as soon as the guy with the 33 gets his shit into gear)

You don't need your Skyline to get there, come in anything... you should have seen what Jeno (R33Driftr) turns up in at times :)

And Tuk Tuk turned up with the water truck one night (on his way home from a job).

If you need a lift out there, which direction do you live? If you live my way, I'd be happy to pick you up... (let me rephrase that) I'd be happy to give you a lift :rofl:

I should be at the museum tonight, even if it's raining. Just thought might want to run through the plan of events for Marques in the park. Who does what etc. Will be asking the organisers if one of us needs to be there early to setup, or if they will have the area reserved so we don't need to worry about that.

I just heard that there's a formal on at the museum tonight starting at 7:30.......not that it makes any difference :)

Oh bummer... I laid the bait and you didn't bite :w00t: no fun at all... instead I'm gonna go to this thread and say something about a certain flower http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/t191885.html at least I get bites there :laughing-smiley-014:

Ok discussed a few things. Theres some interested in us having a BBQ. If someone can bring some please put your hand up. I'm happy to buy some sausages etc. At this stage it would just be to keep ourselves fed. Although I can ask if we can get a permit.

I will be talking with Bullet32 re the federal tent. We will be sending final numbers to Bruce around the 11th, to secure a spot relative to how many are attending, So please post if you can before then if you can't make it etc, or know someone else who is coming along. Jon (aa2089) will be making arrangements to pick up the SAU NSW Banner. Apart from that All I can think of is we need a table or two, to put some stuff on. I'll be talking with Bruce to determine when one of us first needs to be there in the morning to secure our spot.

Showers predicted tonight - how would people feel about meeting up at my place for drinks/coffee, nibbles and a chat instead of standing in the rain? Can come earlier if you prefer, I'll be home from about 7:30pm and would enjoy the company.

Jeno/Jo, if you come, bring your thumb drive so I can give you your in car video footage of the hillclimb. Congratulations on winning 3rd in your first hillclimb :PBJ: well done!

I'm going to keep it out of the forum, but will tell you tonight about my falling victim to a recent attack on my car while we were still in it. I still havent recovered, I'm still in shock that this type of thing can happen and how powerless we are.

Edit: For those who don't know where I am, PM me for address and write it down in case the forum goes down as it did last event.

Thats insane LadyBytes!! Never thought those sort of attacks happened in the ACT. Are you / was it north or southside?

I'm slowly getting my backside into gear to try and come out to these nights. Just making the most of the year before my missus goes to Norway for 6 months. So time is of the essence..

Southside, totally unprovoked, a 'potential' carjacking went wrong perhaps? Who knows, I'm pretty upset over the whole thing.

    • Everything I found online said never use it because it'll dramatically reduce belt lifespan.  No, but I have seen excessive v-belt tension cause the audible bearing noise from excessive radial load in things like alternators. So don't overdo it. Ideally you set it to manufacturer spec using a proper belt tension guage. I tried the "clicker" type gauges but those cheap things are trash. They read way too low even when you're careful.
    • This is kind of where I've ended up for the most part. It's easier for me, easier for shops that don't have to deal with my weird criteria/picky standards, etc.
    • Will do. Suprised if it's not the starter motor considering it's 30 years old. Will get a volt meter though. Battery is close to new.   Cheers for your help, always appreciated.
    • This almost never happens these days. No. Clean your battery terminals and make sure they are tight. Use sandpaper on a dowel if you have to, to get oxidation off the inside of the terminals, particularly on the -ve. Check the earth cable from battery post to chassis ground and engine ground. Make sure the contact surfaces are clean - including the threads on the bolts that anchor them - because that's where a lot of the contact occurs. Wire wheel on a drill is a good thing for this. Make sure the crimps on those cables are all sound. Assuming none of that causes an improvement: Check the battery voltage after it has been resting for a while. If it's at the lower end of the range, put it on charge for a while, then see if it will crank better.
    • I just checked my belt, it wasn't super loose but I could bend it past 90 degrees a small amount so I tightened it up and for the first time ever my car didn't crank first time, had to crank it again lol. Don't know if that was because I tightened the belt or if it's my starter motor going out (been having slow starts for some time). Coulda also been when I was recording I didn't crank the key properly and it didn't save the recording lol.   Is that a thing if you overtighten a belt it struggles to start?
