Oh, and the hotel looks freaking awesome! Really it doesn't really matter where everyone stays, as the Saturday night will have a big dinner on that we will all be at, and everywhere is walking distance anyhow. Did you book 2 nights or 3 Pete - I am hoping 3 - would love to mosey back home at leisure on Monday and avoid all the traffic and night driving.

sorry Dion, just saw this..........yes mate, Country Comfort

Well I just gave them a call and they don't have anything big enough for us :/

I need something for 5 people, but they said for 5 people I will need to rent 2 family rooms, which will come to $260 a night, as opposed to the $166 a night for 5 people Im booked in for 2.2km down the road :/

To be honest, I dont think they would do anything extraordinary because they know the rooms will fill (if not by us, by someone else). Its like Kadina, we rent half the hotel each time we go and they've never done us a special deal. Having said that, barter with them though, because I got mine cheaper. Note, the prices on the hotel website are cheaper than what they say on the phone. :whistling:

It might not be the way you planned Steve but we've essentially accomplished the same thing - all staying at the one place!

Okay, we are staying at Country Comfort now, managed to strike up a deal with them.

ahh good man....good to keep us all together

Keen, but still waiting on Winton track day details/entry details (still approx 2 weeks away from being finalised).

Get online to the Country Comfort Inn today Ryan and book a room before it's too late.

You can always cancel it later and even if you have to pay a deposit but want to cancel later, there won't be a shortage of people wanting your room.

I'm so excited for this! I will have my new SLR too. I'm trading my Nikon D3000 in September, don't know what to get yet (Nikon D3100 or Canon EOS 1100D - unless I splurge and get the Canon EOS 500D or Nikon D5100), but I will get a 250/300mm lense, so plenty of Winton track shots will happen :) I always had the intention of getting a 300mm lense for the D3000, but never did, just had the 18-55mm.

    • Have you put an aftermarket oil pressure gauge on and verified your oil pressure?   Noise being on the block, on exhaust side, how high up the block does it seem to be? It could be the VCT system getting cranky, especially if it's mainly at idle, and when warm, as that'll be your lowest point for oil pressure. Could be showing that oil passages / VCT solenoid are blocking.
    • Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!
    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers  
    • This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?
