Hi guys, for future reference, does anyone know of some motels near sandown, and philip island, where my car is less likely to get pwnd by thieves?

i know a few members have stayed at the rooms out the back of Sandown Hotel. had some room for cars/trailers not viewable from the street. though, wasnt the biggest area to navigate.

Not cheap but your car won't get nicked and it's close to the track for that potential walk back...

Sandown I've got no idea because it's only  few suburbs away from me... Unfortunately it's also right next door to Springvale and Dandenong which aren't the friendliest suburbs to leave a car overnight on a Friday/Saturday.

For Philip Island I have stayed a few times at Ramada Resort which is halfway between the Track and Cowes, right in the middle of the island.

Yo Martin, so had a flight booked with Qantas domestic, got a message saying I could checkin as it was 12 hours or so before my flight. Then got another message saying my flight has been changed and need to go to the website to see the changes. Go online and see that my 10am flight is now a 11:40 flight and that there are no longer flights in a 2hr window between 9-11am. Is this something that happens regularly, without explanation?

This has happened to me with a couple of 6am flights to Sydney or Brisbane (i can't remember which city it was). 

It doesn't happen often to me (twice now in my work life). It normally is caused by one of two things, delays caused by traffic/weather/maintenance or they have a need for a different plane in the location you are flying to.

I've not had my flights moved as far as yours though.Mine are normally shifted by 30 minutes or so.

Kinda surprised at the bounce-back. Had a sell order at 4c two weeks ago and decided to pull it... Oh well.
News is pretty terrible but I'll wait for some educated Hot Copper poster to tell me how the info is a minor setback and that there is still faith.
(if my flight was on time I would have seen the announcement and sold probs 50% of my holding)

Bit of a bloodbath, but the price isn't any worse than it was before the announcement ramp up.

Have only had a skim of the announcement, but so far looks only slightly positive erring on the side of inconclusive, when market was expecting mega positive.

Early days of analysis still but I don't see any positive info thus far.
Large pressure drop in a short time frame, reduction in choke to maintain pressure, only ~18% of fraction fluid recovered, no notable hydrocarbons detected, was supposed to start on the 28th but didnt start till the 31st etc.
I'm wondering if/when they will use an artificial lifting method.

you get that when there bad weather at a airport somewhere else, as the planes bounce between, so if Bris has bad weather then it screws with Melb flights.

and lounge grog does not open up till 12 so screwed either way.

    • Stock RB fuel pressure is near enough 43.5 psi, so the latency in that table at 31.6 will be close. You can see that 7 or 8 psi equates to about 0.4µs extra latency. So if you wanted to interpolate between the 31.6 and 39.9 psi values you could say you're going up about 2 psi out of those 8, so add about 0.1µs, which is barely worth talking about and is quite possibly wrong because ideally you would fix the latency while running at the appropriate conditions on the dyno, with a wideband sniffing its butt.
    • The pressure, is what you set the fuel pressure to. If you have the factory fuel reg, you'll need to find the factory spec. I don't know it off the top of my head, but someone else might.
    • For others, what GTSBoy states here should be paid attention. Why? Well lots of people play with different engines, and they LOVE to change things like remove AC, or steering pumps etc, and it lends to them needing to move the tensioner too. You want your tensioner, particularly those that are sprung or hydraulically tensioned, to be the first thing after the harmonic balancer, or technically the "last" pulley in the chain. By saying last pulley, I mean look at the direction the crank spins when the engine is running, follow the belt from where the crank is pulling the belt FROM, and keep following that until you're between the last pulley/accessory on the belt and about to reach the crank again, this is the spot where you put the tensioner. This is the area that will always end up with slack. This is worked out exactly the same way for chains too, as the physics is the same for them. The crank pulley is where all the force to drag the belt around comes from. You will never ever get rid of the slack that appears, especially under load. The tensioners job is to keep the belt loose enough when stationary that there shouldn't be out of sync movement in slow movement, and then be tight enough when running, that the belt can't jump off any gear and get damaged. Too tight, bad things happen, too loose, bad things happen. Have a tensioner (mainly sprung/hydraulic one) in the wrong spot, it can't actually do anything about keeping the tension.
    • It was gonna take much longer for the 440cc so I'd thought I'd risk it with the 550cc. They finally arrived and I couldn't wait any longer (I could but I was quite excited after 2 months) and installed them myself. Removed the old injectors, inserted the new and connected everything up. Before starting the car, I tuned the injector size from the factory 270cc to 550cc using Nistune.   This did some of the calculations automatically which catered for the TIM. The latency however did not seem to change. Deatschwerks have the tuning data available for each injector online, and I had a look at it. It has a table which relates to latency according to pressure and voltage (see below image). Nistune requires the 14v value, but I am unsure of which pressure value to look at (my lack of knowledge and experience have something to do with this). The highlighted value is close to my current latency which is 760µs. It is for 14v which makes sense, and the pressure is 31.6 Psi.   I still gave the car a test drive to see how it goes, and honestly it has never felt so powerful before (and some people say the RB20DE is very weak?). I really enjoyed the drive. Side note; The injectors are quite noisy, which someone mentioned before. This does not really bother me however. I will still ask my mechanic to have a look at it and perhaps ask a tuner to fine tune it if they have the knowledge.
    • Also true. But imagine not wanting new injectors? Imagine wanting to use 30 year old injectors?
