You get to sleep in :P.

Nah nothing on Friday thats super special. But getting down there at 6 PM when everyone is getting ready for dinner and us clowns have to unpack cars would suck!

If you make it a "Leave pheasants nest at X o clock sharp" time that will help, cause there's always someone who comes late.

Its too far for most skylines to go to make 642k's on one tank, so a stop will be needed, here's where you lose the time. Some people wont like Shell, some wont like BP etc and will want their own blend (not that it matters on light constant throttle highway cruise), if the group has to stop at 3 servos instead of 1 it takes ages out of the travel time.

My suggestion is that you make servo stops known in advance that the group stops at, so from the outset everyone knows what the fuel strategy is. Like this;

Everyone can top up at the start point (its a mobil), so;

Start point to meet point at Yass is 206km

Top up at Yass

Yass to Albury is 279km. Here is a good chance for food if hungry

Albury to Shepparton is 174km

That way there's no chance of anyone running out of fuel, it doesnt feel like a long drive for those that arent used to interstate drives and you'll get there in decent time

You crazy people, why so early? Is there something on Friday arvo I don't know about, or do you just want the extra 6 hours of drinking time till dinner? :laugh:

On arrival last time to Shepp;

lol.. nah it will be mega early for me, night shift body clock :(

Yeah I know what you mean, but could still aim for 3-4pm though, rather than 1pm :P

*thumbs up*

So thats like a 630-7 leave from the PH servo?

It's 5 hours 15 mins doing the exact speed limit the whole way and no stops. Generally cars without cruise control will be a bit slower over that kind of distance unless the driver is really on the ball with keeping to the right speed.

Adding in stops and socializing, it's realistically another hour on top plus lunch

What's the place like for swagging up, if I do go I was going to stay on site or just in some random park ?

Would I survive a couple of days ?

Well the place where I am staying is fine. Steve tell's a funny story of Roy from VIC sleeping under a BBQ becasue it was 'the warmest place' LOL.

Its a fairly small town man. Im sure it wouldn't be a problem (If thats your thing)

Wow did this thread get moving and whoring fast! I reckon a good place to meet would be Yass KFC... I'm pretty sure it's just on the hume highway side of Yass :)

Also, Nicole, myself, Richard and his son are staying at the quest too. I'm pretty sure...

Which Quest?

Fap Quest or Pedo Quest?

Doesn't bother what time we meet or get there for me. Whatever the people want?

Really it's up to you Paul how many stops we make since you are on E85.

I can make it on 1 stop so I am fine.

I think what Steveo suggested is the best bet.

Leave PH servo at about 630, Yass to

Pick up the Canberra crew then Albury for a quick stop.

I'll just do a quick fuel dash at every stop we have!

    • @Kinkstaah yeah I initially checked with Chequered as I've used them with a previous car. But they have stopped sourcing and installing Nistune chips. They only do tuning now. I did not want to pull out my ECU and send it away somewhere to have the chip installed. That would mean no driving the Skyline  
    • Should have checked that.  On the plus side, I got my Bluetooth adaptor.
    • Each province differs a bit but we only do mandatory vehicle inspections here for heavy vehicles (Think Ford F350 and up). Those inspections are done by mechanics that are approved by the government. Besides that, it's a free for all as long as the car looks stock.  I asked because I love seeing how engineering differs from country to country. Here in Canada, all designs must be stamped and signed before they can be brought to fruition. (I.E Bridges, structures, Electrical panels, machines, literally everything shy of a wooden table) This can only be done by a professional engineer or professional engineering technologist. Both are protected titles, but the latter having more of a limited scope in what they can stamp. To become a professional engineer, you must complete a 4-5 year bachelors degree in your field of engineering, be part of an engineering order and undergo 4 years of apprenticeship, testing and mandatory continues education. Same story for engineering technologists, but a 3 year associates degree in some form of engineering technology will suffice. If you do not comply, or pretend you're an engineer or technologist, off to jail you go. If you stamp a design that fails, off to jail you go. If you stamp a design that fails and kills someone (I.E Bridge collapse) Off to jail you go for a very long time, your family will be ridiculed on the news, neighbours will surround your home with pitch forks and your dog will disown you.  Same for specialised trades... Example Electricians must undergo 1.5 years of post high school education, 4 years of apprenticeship, testing and hold proper licences. It's for the best, but then we also wonder why we're so short on engineers and tradesmen haha. We also have professional engineers who were only school smart but have no idea how a drill works. They generally go straight into management roles out of school which is also for the best. 
    • Not currently, I'm at the school where we teach people to build bridges and other fun things that involve making, or breaking things
    • I have a friend who has used Chequered Tuning and CMS. Went to CMS when Chequered had a long wait time which is kind of the norm (for good reason). Was very happy - I'm pretty sure the very simple thing you're asking will be simple.
