Hi guys,

Hoping you can help me out with some local knowledge!

Some of my colleagues will be coming down to Canberra in April for a 3 day team meeting and I've been tasked with setting things up on this end. I'm sorting out accommodation and dinner venues and stuff but there's a couple of things that I would love some input on from people who know the place:

  • Need a room for us to actually have the meeting. I could just book a conference room in the hotel but let's face it, those things are as dry and boring as decroded old dog turds no matter where they are. Is there anywhere more interesting that I could pay to have a nicer room, or somewhere more fun?
  • Also need ideas for a half-day activity. Again something fun for a bunch of young-ish people but has to be "work appropriate" - let's say somewhere between a PG and M rating.

Would appreciate any suggestions that you have!

Go-karting for half day

Meeting over lunch or if it's a really long meeting then a conference room might be best. I don't think many places would allow couple hours for a meeting. But casino? Tradies? No idea

1. Perhaps the tower for a meeting room. Should be cheapish as they don't get much business anymore

2. The zoo

and Activity

3. Paintball ? and then lunch/dinner at rose cottage

They certainly do Tats

You'll get to see the viewing platforms, access to kiosk etc...

You may even be able to wangle sammiches type catering

I used to be the Security Supervisor up there in the control room.

The Cameras in the lifts work so NO hanky panky ( I'll tell you a few stories nxt time ;) )

oh and they record so you can watch them over and over - lol

Extremely late one but something to keep in mind for future of anyone needs. I manage a number of commercial buildings around town and have a full conference centre in one of them at Barton. Have heaps of rooms (big and small) and happy to look after any fellow SAUers.

Hyatt is good for meeting rooms and does reasonable catering as well.

+1 for go karting as team building! Or what about roller skating or even one of those new trampolining places? Haha depends on the team I guess.

Let us know where you're staying and if you need dinner/drinks ideas.

Richard, Rose Cottage is the ass end of nowhere!! Pretty isolated from main accommodation areas too!

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      At this point I'm just 'hoping' it's the turbo seals. I did speak to someone who said it's normal for these turbos to have a bit of axial play? Not gonna lie I've never checked a turbo for axial play before but you could hear it tapping a bit as I moved it back and forth. Surely that's too much? My theory is (could be completely wrong), bad axial play, worn bearings, bad seals, oil into dump/compressor side, burns in exhaust = blue smoke. On a timing belt related note, my crank pulley was missing that front plate that sits in front of the timing belt. It's that metal round plate. It did have the rear one, and the woodruff keys are in the crank which was nice. Can anyone confirm if the NEO det engine has a front plate, im sure it would to protect the front of the timing belt or something. Water pumps...the pump I got was an NPW (yes grill me if I should've got a genuine one lol). It has a smooth mating surface, kit came with a pretty pathetic looking paper gasket. Do I need to use any RTV or just trust the gasket will work because its a smooth mating surface? Cheers legends have a good Easter break!

      Cheers man, I thought the same.   Bit of an update on it all. It was definitely blue smoke, not grey after all. It didn't really smell oily but it was blue after all. Also puffing just the smallest amount on idle with no throttle.   I ended up pulling the intake and exhaust off and there was around 3mm of axial play on the turbo shaft. So I figured we'll that's buggered and sent it off to get hi-flowed at hypergear. Haven't got it back yet.   I haven't compression tested it yet. Had a look in the cylinder and cylinder 1 spark plug, looked a bit sooty but not oily. Then I've just started doing my timing belt because it's age is unknown.

      In that case it is probably stock. It lives in the navigator side footwell behind the plastic trim just in front of the a pillar.

      This. I'm confused by the whole discussion. The only reason you would have a car with e85 only if it was track use and you only ever used e85. All other use cases you add a flex fuel sensor, do the flex tune (you only need to do a couple of % and then interpolate the rest) and then you put whatever the hell you feel like including a mix in the tank and it just works. Want a long drive? fill with 98 Want max zoom? fill with e85 Got a half tank of 98 then find e85 somewhere? Throw it in.
