Bec - different Troy! The one helping me is ylwgtr2 - the drunk one you will be stuck with is Roy!

:P

LOL - I know they are different Troy's - YLWGTR2 (troy) is coming to Winton as well apparently and we were trying to find out if he wanted accommodation as well - but if he's fixing your gearbox then I guess he won't be needing it.

As if you'd let Roy near your gearbox!!!!

What is this 7am start. If the drive is 2 hours, hmm, thought gates open 8. Can you rock up late?

My friends have suddenly become interested in going up. But we are looking at the onsite camping, $15 a night from what i read on website.

Is there no scrutineering? Im low on information, last minute decision.

Is petrol easy to get hold of up there. Expensive. Should jsut bring a jerry can?

There is a special "skylines" service station at Benella which is 10mins drive away. Because you will probably get LOTS of track time you will need up to 2 tanks of fuel for this day. Its prolly a few cents more than Melb. But not heaps more.

There is scruiteneering - its VERY basic and doesnt take long. I can garantee it won't start at 9:30am. The head of the Benella Auto Club does this REALLY annoying speach before the event about the whole AASA v CAMS thing thats boring as all hell and goes for ages. But he does it every time. Leaving the start of the Hume at 7:00am will be perfect.

Ok - unfortunately Im out of the Sat night Wang special.

And its all Adz's fault. Due to his car being such a pain the only time Troy has available to pull my box out is Sat night. So I will have to come down with the Sunday morning crew.

:boohoo: :grouphug:

For the accomodation I have placed my credit card down as the deposit to hold 3x 5 Person appartments. It works out at $30 Per Person. Rather than stufing around when we get up there, I might get people to Direct Deposit $30 into my account. This will save us scrounging around for peoples loose change and frantically swapping notes to get the $30 each right, with 15 people standing in the office.

So people can either DD to my account and i'll chuck it all on credit, or make sure you have $30 cash to hand out to me and I can just walk straight in their and get it sorted. This will mean we can get on with the beer and pool. 35 degrees is forecast for Saturday.

Here is my account details:

Please use your forum name as a description if using Netbanking, and PM me once you sent the money. If paying for two or three please indicate.

Cheers Chris. 0418390299

Also the first 15 people will get this price. If we need more than 15 beds, then additional rooms will need to be booked, but the price will be slightly more for the night. I think it was like $35- 40.

The first 15 ppl? I was like last on the list so how much? I just checked this thread tonight.

It's OK - you have a bed - we have an option to chuck an extra bed in the lounge rooms of the aportments (for an additional price) so a couple of extras wont kill us - if we get a few more people though I will look at booking an additional room.

frankly I don't trust you and all this slush fund business is getting me nervous

well Shivam's mate "300ZX Guy" has to work this weekend so he has had to pull out - although this does mean Shiv gets his car for the weekend....

anyways - so we are back to 15 people - so everyone gets a bed at the moment

Chris/Bec, unfortunately one of my mates had to pull out also, sorry .

So now it's me plus 1.

and they're dropping like flies

everyone remember to BRING YOUR CB'S FOR THE TRIP UP!
- someone bring me one - ill be bored driving up by myself
picking up my car tonight! Saw it last night and reeeeeeeeeeeow!!!

I bet it looks sexier than the last time i saw it!!!

    • Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!
    • Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.
    • Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃
    • You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position. 
    • You talking about the ones in the photo above? I guess that could make sense. Fixed (but flexible) line from the point up above down to the hubcap thingo, with a rotating air seal thingo. Then fixed (but also still likely flexible) line from the "other side" of the transfer in the hub cap thingo up to the valve stem on the rim. A horrible cludge, but something that could be done. I'd bet on the Unimog version being fed through from the back, as part of the axle assembly, without the need for the vulnerable lines out to the sides. It's amazing what you can do when you have an idea that is not quite impossible. Nearly impossible, but not quite.
