My uncle runs a farm/vineyard in the yarra valley where we often go for a weekend away...

this week theyre filming a portion of Charlottes Web there... for 30 seconds of film it takes 1 week to shoot :D something like 120 people... 4 semi trailors and a lot of vans.

theyre bringing magpies and sheep (their farm is a cattle farm as well as a vineyard) to use in the shots which will only be for 30 seconds of film time :D

they have to cut some branches down (well get my uncle to) to get the trailors in and they said that for every branch he has to cut for them to get through theywill give him a slab ;)

There will also be a 24 hour food caravan open to everyone to eat so if he gets hungry they said to come up and have a feed.

None of the stars will be there or anything cause its mainly a scenery shoot as well as a "chase scene" and the lead up to the farm down the driveway which will look pretty much.... like this

This was taken from a spot near a dam where they will be filming...

lol yeah not just finger food either... full catering staff

Yuck Fou. Oh ni you know you got a mention in Speed mag "Not to be outdone, D1NZ driver Jarius Whareau drove the RB26-powered Cefiro of Nikora Terrill with some aplomb." Mr lar de dar. To bad you havent got it any more would make a good shot in a scene like that. The only thing you'll be shooting though is the sau guys trying to get onto the set for some of that free food and BEER!. :usuck: :headshot:

lol yeah wont post up the location for obvious reasons... yeah i have that speed mag :P i was going to take the car there for a shoot but its too far away to drive with no rego.

when i get another car i'll organise a cruise up there... but hen the actuall hotel and stuff are built and they have wine tasting on... its awesome up there... love going out there and staying over (even when i get put thru a barbed wire fence on a motorbike.)

    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
    • Yes then it will turn on but I want the car features to work  
    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
