Ro... the plan for Nebo still includes gathering at Jolly's, but going the reverse direction up if you get what I mean (starting at what I call the 1/4 mile). Then we will return the normal way that we go up (past the bus stop and stuff).

Start at Samford Valley?

I like reverse Nebo, it's much more fun

Lol yup it is more fun going up but bit more scary on the way down.

You mean 'load your pants with a fresh one' scary. I really don't enjoy descending into Samford Valley... and I even have disc brakes! :lol:

Yay Hiro!!! lol...

are you coming to the Friday night meet up?

which toyota are ya bringing?

I'll most likely be coming up with the rest of the NSW crew, almost certainly bringing the 102 though since the Snoarer has already had a QLD trip recently and I'm not sure Cara would let me borrow it for that long....pity, because it is a _much_ better cruising car.

EDIT: So all the out-of-towners staying at the International? Or slumming it at a Formule 1? $140 a night is a bit pricey for 1, unless anyone cares to split a twin room (the one with seperate beds :P)

FYI - There's a few motels at Albion that have fairly reasonable rates for longer than 1 or 2 night stays from memory. Albion is fairly close to the CBD and near the inner city bypass and clem 7 motorways so getting from north to south and vice-versa will be fairly easy... Also close to Hoppy's (there's ur free plug Uncle Bren) :P

Are all sydney guys travelling together and if yes which guys/gals are :P if use dont mind me tagging along with a freind .

R-Tivo, there is a very good chance this will be case. However the finer details are yet to be worked out. My educated guess is we are doing a early morning drive, so we get into brissy in the early arvo, relax, then meet up with everyone.

Luckily driving up from sydney is way faster than driving down to Sydney, since you don't get stuck in traffic for a couple of hours like we did just to get to the hotel from the end of the motorway. :P.

Sydney is a sh!thole for traffic, that's why when I go interstate I plan around peak hours. The way Sydney has become now it's peak hour 24/7 :(

ATTN SYDNEY PEEPS!

We have a rough plan of how we are going to get to brissy.

Meet at Thronleigh Maccas (early friday morning 3 or 4 am) drive up via New England. Stops will be at Tamworth, Glen Innes & Warwick. ETA in Brissy 3 - 4PM. Chill out at our accommodation then meetup with the rest of the gang at the nominated time.

This might seem longer, but there are fewer road works via New England. The Pac highway is full of them at the moment, not to mention Coffs Harbour a 30km stretch of 60km /hr

If anyone has a suggestion or wishes to go an alternative way, please feel free to contribute ;)

A Map can be found Here

Putty Rd at 4am? Maybe not the wisest choice, especially if it is truck-central (which it could well be at that time of the morning, the whole trip up the Hunter is going to be spent dodging trucks. Might be better taking the freeway up to Freemans Waterhole and then cutting over Heaton Gap through Cessnock and the vineyards to join the New England at Greta. Can meet up with you guys at the Freemans Waterhole diner stop that way too :P

*Note meant to say Peats Ridge Rd, not Putty Rd, but still the same story - road is quite windy around Laguna up to Wollombi, and there were a fair chunk of roadworks when I last went through there (close to a year ago though).

If taking the freeway I would definitely advise cutting the corner over Heaton Gap instead of going all the way to the end at Beresfield/East Maitland, traffic through Maitland/Rutherford/Lochinvar is painful on a long weeked (almost as bad as Karuah/Buledelah on the Pacific at times) and the back way through Cessnock and the vineyards completely bypasses it.

Now that would be awesome. Logistically it would be a nightmare. And probably pretty unfeasible given there's probably all of about 5 active Tassie members. But there are some amazing driving roads down here. That's one thing I'm gonna miss after the move - having some of the country's best roads on my doorstep.

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      On my 2002 Prado, the fuel transfer pump has a fuel filter which can block, causing increasingly less fuel transfer between the tanks. It may be the same for the Cruiser too. I have not yet had an issue with mine even at 250000km, but that is low mileage for a 2002 Prado. I hope that you have a filter that can be easily replaced. It could save you a pump replacement.

      2002 Hilux Engine Replacement

      Unless you can identify which engine your Hilux has now, you may be better off finding a good 5LE engine and return it to stock. Nice to have a Turbo diesel though. Have you tried taking a photo of the engine and posting it so others can advise what engine you have. It may be better to have your engine overhauled. If you can locate the engine number (should be on the registration papers if the engine swap was done legit), you might be able to ID the engine that way too. Do you know why the engine seized? It may be possible to overhaul your engine cheaper than replacing it.

      Transmission clunk

      Hi all, Recently completed a long drive. Check engine light came on, traction control off light came on, unable to use cruise control. Pulled immediately over all oil level were good and no leaks. then when accelerating through the gears ( automatic Prado ) hearing and feeling a clunk on each gear ( like it was hard to select). Prado is unable to go into 5th & 6th gear. Maxed out in 4th gear at 90km/h @ 2500rpm. Later in the drive DPF light came on though I have a July 2015 build. DPF introduced in October 2015 that I am aware off. Any ideas at all would be grateful!

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      Yes, with 12v applied to the pump you can definitely hear it whirring if it is working. Kind regards Geoff

      Yaris Cross roof rack

      Hi all, I’m looking at purchasing a Yaris Cross GXL however I can’t seem to find any official roof rack for the car On the Toyota website it doesn’t show a roof rack protruding like the Corolla Cross GXL I know you can get roof racks that slide under the door however I don’t see any official listing Interestingly enough Toyota offer an official bike rack for the Yaris, Corolla hatch etc but not the Yaris Cross Rhino-Rack offer a third party roof rack for the “TOYOTA Yaris Cross Gen1 5dr SUV Bare Roof” but I’m a bit hesitant to use a 3rd party roof rack on a brand new car. Do you know if this would cause any warranty issues etc? Another option would be to get a Corolla Cross GXL. However the Yaris Cross would be perfect if it could have a roof rack as I don’t need the extra size, engine and price point of the Corolla Cross. Happy to hear your thoughts

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      I've just got a price from Toyota up here in QLD for the whole replacement unit... (OUCH!!!! 😭) I would share more information on my investigation so far, but apparently, I am a spam bot and can upload pictures, but not write the story to go with it.... without being pulled up for it...... I can tell you that I am getting no suction on what I believe is the fuel line from the sub to main tank. I am however getting 13v on the fuel pump connection. It comes on for a moment before going off. I'm guessing because of this error. Perhaps the rail stops delivering power..... My next step is to apply 12v to the pump and see if I can hear it in the tank making any noise. Surely, I'd be able to hear something with the car not running - if it is working?

      How hard is to to fit an clinometer?

      My dash looks like the picture below, but I wish to add the factory clinometer. Does anybody know how hard of a job that would be? I wish to add the factory clinometer The final result would look something like this

      Hilux 2.7 1998 has knock in motor

      A recently purchased 2.7 hilux seemed okay, but when started up (warm) a clunk happened then a loud knock started. The coolant drained out, perhaps into the engine, but being unfamiliar with the vehicle I am unsure what has happened. Any suggestions and possible remedies would be appreciated. Higgyboys

      2017 Kluger AWD. Noise in Cabin - Bearing/Diff. Not Sure.

      Chiming in from the States here, I have a question. I am assuming your Kluger's have the same UA80 transmission as we do? When you say the transfer case was replaced, was it the physical "transfer case" or the transmission? We have similar issues here where the UA80 starts "whining" needing a complete transmission replacement.
