I suggest we have an SAU Big Day Out 2006.

1. Start early at the Goodwood Pub for bbq brekkie and some Bourbons

2. Head over to Wayville and consume many more Bourbons

3. Around 4pm (or when you fall down) have a small sleep behind the sound stage in the middle of the main oval

4. Wake up and continue partying hard into the night :P

This was my routine this year, who's going to come next year? We need to buy tickets VERY soon before they sell out!

Erin - the lineup is not as good as previous years, but more than enough to keep me happy.

Highlights for me will be: The White Stripes, Franz Ferdinand, The Living end, Shihad/Pacifier, End of Fashion, Gerling, Mylo, Kid Kenobi, Magic Dirt, Hilltop Hoods, Cog, Sonicanimation, MIA, Foreshore and DJ Brendan. More than enough there to keep me happy, and way more than I can see in one day anyhow! I have seen most of these bands already, but am always happy to see them again! (Anyone else going to the Foo Fighters or Jamiroquai in the coming weeks? I am going to both :) )

Ash fyi the website is http://www.bigdayout.com/cities/adelaide.php and the date is 3rd Feb.

Yes, I agree - Carl Cox was insane - but then so was I by that hour of the night - memory is a bit blurry :D

Ive got around 150hrs of Carl Cox music (over 120hrs on solely worldwide Live Sets)... so Im a Carl Cox fan for sure. Yah, it was great to see him play this year, problem then is every year from hereonin wont be able to compare.

Deluxe probably typed Off Tap the way it should be typed. As some of you know, Im over 2m tall, and was around 5m from the front of the stage(a) where he played, so had an awesome view, pity my eyes were playing tricks on me. :D

But for original threads purpose, Im not too sure I'll go this year, 2nd baby will be less than 2weeks old at that stage, so need to be home with family.....

BDO line-up isn't good enough for me and the missus to bother this year :) It's not that bad a line-up but just not up to the standard of previous years - BDO '05 Boiler Room with Carl Cox, Freestylers and Chemical Brothers was awesome!

Andrew, Kimmy and I are going to Jamiroquai (saw them last time too) and plan to see U2 as well.

They've changed the venue for Jay Kay and the lads mate - it's now at the Entertainment Centre (like last time).

cool Matt, my mate decided he couldn't afford BDO, U2 and Jamiroquai tickets, so he pulled the plug on me for Jamiroquai. I might come with you guys if that is ok?

Yeah of course mate! I'll ring you and organise the details.

    • Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
    • After drying a few days, time to put her back together 
    • The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
