Leaving VIC!

Recommended Posts

Well as the heading says I'm leaving VIC... sold my house over the weekend and moving to the other side of the country... to Cairns!!! Lived here for 20 years+ and the time has come for a change. The reality has kind of hit me this morning, it is a farking huge move! One of the main reasons I am heading so far North, is my sister, her husband, my niece and mum live in Port Douglas, so it will be good to be able see them more often (we all know how important family are :D ) all the bullshit with the VIC Government / cops / EPA etc, helped me make my choice of not buying another house here, although it has been a hard one. SAU VIC is really kicking along now and I wish all the guys and girls I've met could come with me hehehe, but I'm sure there are plenty of 'lines up there too? I know there are bloody awesome places to cruise... like along the Coral Coast, upto Kuranda, through the Table Lands etc... so if anyone is planning on a trip up North be sure to contact me and you'll have some free accomodation! I don't leave until the first week of April, so I will still be at the next couple of meetings and DEFINATLEY not missing the Great Ocean Road cruise - that will be great! I won't be leaving the forums either and I've already spoken to a few guys in Cairns that are active members here... so those of you who are gonna be at the next meetings and the GOR cruise, I'll see you then, otherwise on the forums as a Queenslander HAHAHA!

Cheers everyone!!! :D:D :headspin:

Hey Lukas - we have a place up in Cairns (Clifton Beach) and I must say I think it's the best place in Oz. My long term goal is to move up there.

Due to other committments I don't know if I can make it up there this year although with flights up there so damn cheap I might even come up just for a weekend or something. (Got an email from Jetstart this am offering flight to Cairns 1 way for $69)

hehe.. another one leaves.. I wouldn't say all the road b/s was the only reason i left either, but it was a factor. I mean if you like your cars and driving and that is what you like to do to enjoy your spare time - why live in nazi victoria weren't you can't enjoy it as much?

good one bracks, another one down.

Enjoy Cairns.

I spent the best part of 6 months in 2002 up in Cairns,Atherton and Tully for work.

Atherton and Tully suck but Cairns is a very nice spot with none of the cop/government BS like here in Vic!

Six weeks to go and counting! LOL! :headspin:

    • Unless there's something particular about the Greddy manifold's injector holes that I'm not aware of, those injetcors look to be totally wrong. They would absolutely want to be spaced up to get those long snouts out of the runner. Which, I think, is not usually the way that that problem is solved. I think the problem is solved by using the correct injectors, which would be much more like what Andrew posted.
    • Thanks for the reply, So i've continued playing around, and fitted the injector adaptors onto the injector, the fuel rail is not able to be mounted now as the injectors sit a bit further out. I suppose the point of the adaptors is so that the injector nozzle isn't so deep into the intake? I suppose 1mm extra on the o-ring would do it but still can't mount the rail onto the intake haha. Waiting on a reply from Aeroflow I'm sure there's something stupid that I'm missing...
    • EMJ33 or EJM33 - west end
    • I have a radium fuel rail on my Greddy manifold and used the supplied radium fuel injector to manifold adapters (The round green things pictured). I did always wonder if you could just go ahead and use the second lower hole like you're doing... Wouldn't thicker o-rings solve your issue?    
    • From what I've seen and experienced first hand with those powder extinguishers, they're good to use to break a window and escape the car, and half the time then do f**k all to stop a fire. You just need much more than 1KG worth of powder. Not to mention, half the time it's an engine bay fire, and you can't easily, and do not want to completely open the bonnet, so you're left pretending to be an American Infantry... Spray and Pray baby!   And then 100% that shit is really destructive afterwards!   Realistically, those little ones at a race track might help you keep the fire from growing and give the fire marshal / truck a chance to actually get to you with their multiple large bottles.   For a road car, these days, prepare to deboard as quickly as humanly possible, and move to safety. Allow insurance to fix replace it (unless it's like a rare classic etc, then do nearly everything possible to save it!) Keep the little extinguisher with you to help protect other things around you from burning while you stand there singing "How can we sleep while our beds are burning?"   Secondly, powder extinguishers I freaking hate for indoor use, (this isn't really relevant to a car) as you will get a powder fog around you, and it can be disorientating.   When I did fire training when at BlueScope Steel, they have (had?) their own fire brigade on site. We did all the training, and at the end we were told, "If it's an indoor fire, and you need to use a powder extinguisher, we as the fire brigade would rather you just exit the building, you're more likely to get lost in the smoke and powder fog than do much help, so just GTFO" And pretty much that was what they said for most other fires too, grab extinguisher, if it's much more than paper in a bin fire, use extinguisher to get you and others out of the building to safety...   Part of me wishes when my Skyline caught alight many moons ago, I let insurance sort it out, instead of putting the fire out... part of me now says "But I've saved a classic before it was a classic!"
