Gents (and ladies),

Anyone free to do a recon run this Sunday? :P

P.s. We always use UHF radios to communicate with each other on the cruises. Recommend everyone to buy one; make everything run smoother and less hassle. :)

i would offer, but your spine would be shattered after 30minutes :P

How come? I'm sure Reece would be alright... :P

my coilovers are too stiff :(

Jeff, I would recommend buying a UHF that is at least 1W. Any weaker and it's not that good/clear, especially around mountain bends etc. Right now I got one that's $70 but I'm thinking of buying a stronger one since I use it more often. :)

my coilovers are too stiff :(

Never too stiff mate! :P

Yeah fair enough mate. Education first, come for the cruise; it's been a while!

Yep, that's a good point Duy. If you are not able to spend a full day, you might want to re-consider doing a recon run. :lol:

No one is free this Sunday? :P

Date wise I'll throw up a few suggestions for the real thing - how about either Sunday the 13th November or Sunday the 20th November?

I Guess 20th November would be the ideal date then,? Save the dates ?

- sounds like a reasonable/feasible enough date, with planning and all that, and near summertime too, weather would be great'

Continuing on with the list:

1) Jeffy => edit: ( nay for the recon run for now [unless otherwise i change my mind :whistling: )

2) Tash (am too far away for recon runs for this sorry)

3) fillit (maybe recon run )

4) iVaz (actually in this time)

5) maca_10 aka Chris - should be up for recon if on Sunday + probably S15 & WRX

Will try to keep the 20th free.

Might be able to help with the recon run, will be able to confirm availability closer to the date. I think the recon should be done on the sunday, so we get an idea of traffic and parking, etc.

EDIT: Where can I find a decent UHF radio for a reasonable price?

Just give ya guys an idea, i been to the GOR cruisebefore and here is the run down:

Meet at Mobile Servo / McDonalds on Western Ring road (near Boundary Rd. exit), going towards City, NOT towards Airport. Melways Map 40 B5 around 10am.

Stop at BP station in LittleRiver for break / fuel.

Go to Apollo bay via Anglesea.

Have break / lunch at Apollo bay then go home via the Forrest inland.

The route through the forrest inland is a very nice drive and less traffic!

There is a pub / hotel at Apollo Bay, so can always have lunch there.

If people wants, you guys can always have a short break at Lorne.

Cool, yeah where can I get a radio? I was looking for some, but I think I'm looking in the wrong department, went looking at the Taxi CB Radio's & I can't actually afford in excess of $700 bucks --"

So where is a good place to get them radios from?

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Disconnecting batteries, ALWAYS disconnect the ground wire first. Doing this will also disconnect power, in general. Herb

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Hey guys, I’m wanting to disconnect my current winch, lightbar and UHF as I have new plans. I’ve installed a winch previously on another car so I get it’s a case of following the cables and disconnecting from the battery, etc but but safety wise, should I start by disconnecting the battery so the cables aren’t live orrrr? And if so how do it go this haha?

      Snapping wheel and axle studs

      Put a set of standard wheels on it and your problem will disappear. It is critical that the hole in the wheel centre is a snug fit on the axle boss (without wheel nuts fitted). If your wheels are sloppy on the axle boss this allows excess force on your wheel studs and they will break, as yours are doing. If you are unsure of what to do, go to a reputable tyre shop and get assistance.

      2zz idle / roughness when accelerating past 3k

      Hey everyone was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction with this issue I've been facing for a while now. My Celica's idle will drop down to almost 200rpm when stationery after hitting operating temperature. Pretty much feels like it's about to stall out but never actually does. When taking off from a set of lights it almost feels like it hesitates or is down on power and then all of a sudden it lurches forward and gets a boost in power again. Then again around 1,500-3,000rpm it feels down on power and in what I can only describe in the engine feeling scratchy. Past 3,000 rpm it gets a little boost in power again but still definitely feels down on power compared to what it used to be and still has that roughness. Note lift is also not working at the moment but I have changed the lift bolts, planning on cleaning the VVT and VVTL-i OCV's New engine mounts have been installed I changed the MAF sensor about 4 years ago albeit not OEM. After doing some research my main ideas now would be a New MAF this time OEM, TPS, IACV or Coil Packs (Changed plugs 50,000km ago) Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! :)
