Yeh that was probably one of the best runs yet...definitely the best way to spend a Sunday arvo before it all starts again on Monday!

Well I need to let the ol' 26 out for a run at least once a fortnight haha....can't have it all gumming up on me now with my 3 minute work trips =/

You'll have to get your rear end fixed for next time MeLar ;)

Awesome time boys. Loved every minute of it!

Great chat, great food - talk about cheap and cheerful.

Would love to go bowling or mini golf LOL

I suck terribly at both so would be great for me to come out and give you guys a few pointers :P

In other news, the rear end is the least of my problems. The car was overheating on the way home. Needed some lovely aircon and nekminnit the gauge started climbing slowly. Reached the 3/4 mark just below the big "H" as I drove into the garage...watched it like a hawk the whole way home I did too.

Sooooooooo.....next cruise, if the old girl's not up to the task, I'll be in the Caldina but will have to hitch a ride in one of the 'lines. Wife has banned me easing it down mountain passes ;)

Where's a good place to meet and cruise from? Plan on getting there around 10 I reckon.Definitely want to be there for the Miss Powerplay judging. :3some:

Haha well im heading down with a few mate, so i was going to meet up with the tbar boys around gatton... If they end up coming.

Well what a crazy few days weather wise. Was locked up inside all of Saturday and Sunday so just had to get out of the house today. I lost power twice over the weekend but I was/am lucky compared to Me_Larr and sonnyQ. Tommis85 what are you going to do now the seas have subsided? Captain Natro did you get the hatsu out from it's bogged location? The daily wouldn't start this morning, but have had the battery on charge and hopefully a bit of dry weather overnight and tomorrow to let the old girl dry out a bit and hopefully she will start

Power came back on late arvo today guys. Rain also stopped for now so I don't have to sleep with a mop and bucket/oil pan in my arms.

Thanks for dropping by, Chris. Good chat :)

Apart from my struggles, I've got some good news to share. Picked up the old girl now equipped with a big F**k O** Koyo rad and new thermostat.

Now all I need is a 40degree day + aircon + stop-start traffic/spirited driving to see if that done the trick.

Just need to fix the rear end alignment issues and I "should" fall in love with her again.

    • CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it. 
    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
