Hello all,

Time for another get together :)

This time, well head to Katoomba and stop somewhere near the 3 sisters. 2 meet up points for this one. Details as follows:

When: 30th March, 2014

Meeting point 1: Brays Bay Reserve, Rhodes (cnr Mary Street & Concord Road - Oliveto restaurant)

Time: 9:00am (leaving 9:30am sharp)

Meeting point 2: Caltex twin servo M4 westbound (truck stop parking), just behind servo, Maccas and red rooster.

Time: 10:00am (leaving 10:30am sharp)

Once we're at Katoomba, probably stop for a break, maybe a quick feed and or coffee. Then we head to Balmain, to RibTerranean! I'm giving 20% off for all participating drivers. Best ribs in Sydney and definately one of the best for Mediterranean food. Restaurant opens at 5:00pm, so I'm open to suggestions for a scenic drive back to Balmain. We can discuss this at Katoomba.

Please confirm if you will be attending and also if you'll be attending for dinner so I can organise numbers and our table :)

Looking forward to seeing you all again!

I also had a thought for the E85 boys, this cruise might be pushing the limits of how far you can go on a tank and I know there's no E85 near the three sisters or lithgow or most of the way back on bells line of road. So are there any of you running E85 that would want to stop at east blaxland? That's the last place on the trip that has E85 until we get right back into Sydney. And that would be a good 250+ k's worth of driving (from the first meet point to Balmain anyway)

    • I wouldn't be concerned at all, other than to suggest having them flow tested when you receive them to confirm they are reasonably similar, and then put the highest to lowest flowing ones in cylinder 6,1,5,2,4,3
    • I’m only posting this cause I thought I had seen a bad review on these somewhere before. Any feedback? Would you guys recommend that if I do buy these I send em to RC to have em checked before installing. Or any other suggestions?   https://www.ebay.com/itm/114009965865?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=JDl-15yLQ8C&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=QTzlFXB1S-S&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
