NOOOOOO!!! Sad Abe is Sad :blink:

What is AVCON and who is Cosplay?

AVCON = Anime & Video-game Convention, its actually Adelaide Anime & Video Game Convention - can't entirely remember, been ages since I volunteered there.

Cosplay = Costume Play, ie Dressing up as an Anime/Manga/Video Game Character.

I think I mentioned something about AVCON last year in the wasteland, lol.

EDIT: Anyone not feeling like working tomorrow, go to PJ O'Brian's tonight, AVCON should be having the after party there, mainly the volunteers and committee members. They used to have it there other years when I went, not sure about now.

Just happened to find these on my pc from 2006

For some reason, I could see female Ninjas :P

Fark how is it I have been to pretty much every brand lan ever held in Adelaide and am a bona-fide games geek, yet have never heard of this?

Can someone please give me a heads-up before it is on next year? Wouldn't mind going for a look at upcoming games technologies and smashing some n00bs at Starcraft II.

In that vein, who has pre-downloaded Starcraft II ready to activate when their key is released on Tuesday?

You won't really find that there, its more your retro games and consoles etc...however last year when I snuck in, they had a LAN tent (20 odd pcs, playing CSS). If you want games and tech, check out E-Games in November in Melbourne, been there twice, wasn't bad. Both times Sexpo was on nextdoor, so if you get bored of one, go to the other...but you will have to pay another entry fee.

Ok, so who's up for a end of Oct Melb SAU geek road trip? I could drive our comfy CRV over, all stay at my sister-in-law's place ....

edited - end of Oct, not Nov

Manifest!? Sure, why not.

They also have ban sticks :(

A group of 4 could easily do it leaving Fri evening 6pm, take turns in driving/watching movies/sleeping and arrive Melbourne 3am. Sleep until 10am and then head in to the Con. If it a 2 day pass could also go for a look on Sunday morning, then leave Melbourne 2pm and get back 10/11pm'ish Sunday night.

Sounds like a good weekend.

My GF sells her artwork in the Artist Alley every year at AVCon. She does very well and has attracted (as she puts it) “AVCon stalkers” who apparently go just to buy her artwork. Unfortunately I didn’t go this year due to other commitments but would have liked to go :) She’s planning to head to Manifest next year so I might come along with her.

    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
