I will have the Rb30 in the car and all done by then so I would be willing to partisapate in a cruze to the coast from brisbane. Or maby even a coast to coast run if some of the other guys are keen.. I will just have the motor in so ill be keen as when it comes to a drive.

I am going there for orientation and one of the things they do durring orientation is Reef Scuba Dive...is this really not a good idea!??!?! Please help!

you won't get an "apartment" there.... newcastle's not a highly developed city.... You can get apartments in town... but don't!....

Rent a house in "Jesmond". This will put you within a 5-15min walking distance from the Uni. There are a lot of houses to rent there because the market is based on uni students... I havn't lived there since april but you could probably get a nice 3 bd room hous for about $150 a week....(beleive it or not)...

You could also rent with other uni students to make it cheaper.... :P

There is also a shopping centre and basically everything you'll need in Jesmond (all 5-15 mins walk) so it's the area to go for....

If you need any more info, Pm me and i'll b glad to help you out....

Maybee "Guilt toy" If you're on here could give a more accurate rental price?.... or any other newy residents?..... as i said, havn't been there since april and i'm used to sydney prices now... :P

Just thought I'd check up on this thread. Chris should be in Oz now (5th Feb he arrived I think it said). I haven't been on a cruise in a while. Are there any Newcastle / Sydney / Central Coast cruises happening some time soon? If not, I could just drive him to Sydney and I'll go on a cruise from there, cos there's always Syd cruises on. I don't really know my way around Sydney though, so I'd probably get lost :( There's always Sunday at the Newcastle foreshore too.

Just on the charity day note - last year the Ferrari club held a charity day at Sandown where people paid to be taken for a lap in a ferrari. My car was also there and people were more than happy to pay $100 for a lap in that.

Madness.

You've got to be KIDDING me! LOL, i go to the University of Newcastle over here in the UK. Believe it or not there is an area called Jesmond that is the main place for students to live!!

Christhenite, you'll find that it isn't what you know, it is who you know. A friend of a relative owns a Porsche 911 Turbo and let me take it out for a spin for 30 minutes just before Xmas. 415 bhp in a 4wd super car. It was absolutely amazing. He's also promised to take me out in a Skyline at some point because he knows some guys that have them. Anyways, i hope you get your ride :rofl:

    • Structured text and other high level PLC programing languages are not allowable in Functional Safety. They are very difficult to audit. My PLC stuff is almost exclusively oriented towards Burner Management Systems which are a particularly pernicious form of Safety Instrumented System, when implemented in an SPLC. Even the part of the code written to work in the non-safety logic part of the PLC, like with a Siemens S7-1500 series, still needs to be treated as if it was safety code, with access restrictions, code fingreprints and the like. And Allen Bradley can go EABODs. They ae full of shit. They have this whole lie going on where they say if you use a ControlLogix controller and its IO, and then just duplicate the IOs (ie, run in series or parallel depending on type, to try to make it "fail safe") and "use these programming styles and place these restrictions on what you do" that you can achieve SIL2. What a load of crap. They just get away with it because no-one in the US seems to understand the first thing about Functional Safety and carries on as if all they have to do is buy only SIL2 rated equipment and hey presto, it's a SIL2 system. Idiots. /rant
    • If you're really considering leaving it, a great question to ask is, is the magnet going to stick to the sump? The answer to the above is the same answer towards if I'd have any level of comfort leaving it... Personally, based on the cost of a motor if the magnet were to cause damage, I'd be fishing it out either way. Use the methods in here. It fit in through the plug hole, it'll come out.   PS, get a small actuatable claw for a bore scope. OR if you know a vet, they have really cool controllable scopes with hooks on the end. Supposedly they're like playing a video game. Ask if they can acquire you one of their scopes... Engine oil after all is just a different type of lube right? Will only make it easier on the next dog or cat...
    • All other (Boolean) logic functions though, are just built on those blocks above. Which does give you a lot of functionality in logic. It is basing that on using thresholds with analogue signals like GTS alluded to.   Not having things like timers will make it less useful for some of the ramp up logic you'd want, and again, on Haltecs capacity specifically, I'm not across anymore what you can / can't do with different tables.   I'm assuming, with your logic you want to implement, not only do you want your timing safeties, you're wanting to be able to derive the duty cycle for your solenoid, to maintain I'm assuming 175PSi? Or are you using a standalone WMI controller to maintain the DC correct, and you just want the Haltech working out which fuelling maps you should be on?
    • It doesn't seem to follow revs. Oddly it seems to follow TPS a little bit from what I can see, but with some delay a bit. IE end of the graph, when he lets off throttle fully, pressure drops a lot, then slowly builds back up, but rpm is on a nice cruisey drop off. I do agree though, it seems very electrically.
