Hey Craig, can we update the list so that all definites are noted - it'd be good to keep track of numbers. Also, do any ACT guys have a spare set of CB radios i could borrow? It'll save me a few $$ buying new ones. Not too far away, I'm looking forward to it!

Oh yeah I forgot to mention, we are only there for the Friday and Saturday nights - Alex and I are both working Monday.

I'm all booked in, so you can confirm: Josh (Surly_Z) Anna Alex Shelly We're in a quad room, near the bar apparently - so only a short stumble home!

I've made our reservation for a quad-room, so Myself, Anna, Alex and Shelly are all locked in.

I bought mine with the intention of using it as a weekend car, and just drive my z31 as a daily. But I can't help myself, I see it sitting in the garage and think "I could be driving this right now..." - so now it's pretty much a daily driver! But similar to you Fluffydice, I work 7mins up the road so wear and tear isn't too much of a concern. As for petrol, I'm running an L28 with standard SU's on 95 and I get roughly 80-90kms per 10 litres. Just buy one, they're great little cars!

I was coming back from Moss Vale and was okay weather right until we got into Canberra - big black sky and pelting rain, I even got hit by a little bit of hail. I was so f&#king angry, but if I paid attention to weather reports I suppose I wouldn't have driven. Such a horrible feeling! Anyway, she's back in bed after a good chamois. Just thought I'd vent, sorry!

I'm happy with staying in the village, so are Alex & Shelly. Chris and Sprinterboy?

Either way I'm easy, both places look awesome. ACT boys, what do you think? I've started a thread in our section so we can come to a conclusion and final number. Save us flooding this one. http://www.viczcar.com/forum/index.php/topic,3406.0.html

So far I've counted from ACT Chris Miika Scott + 1 Sprinterboy Myself & Anna Alex & Shelly (friends of mine, in 300zx) Most important question is whether we stay in Thredbo or Altitude 1260?

Chris that place looks amazing, and at that price seems silly to not take up! Scott, I'll be bringing my girlfriend too. Anyone alse bring partners? I may have another couple interested if that's okay. They'll be in a Z31, not quite an S30 but a Z nonetheless!

I'll be keen, again depending on the date. And like Scott, I'll have to make sure I have money saved! If Chris can get accom thru his work, we ACT guys should organise rooms soon. So does that make 4 ACT Zs?

I had issues with my L28's carbies and fuel, where I'd get a misfire and a really awful clang sound during high revs. Just had a brand new SUs installed and tuned, car was running smooth, good fuel economy, no smoke. However, all has changed and the problem has come back. I am now running on 3 cyclinder most of the time as it looks like the second carbie (closest to firewall) is not getting enough fuel. - My mechanic said it is dirt in the fuel lines, so I've put 2 new filters between fuel rail and carbie (a total of 3 fuel filters now!) - I've also pulled apart dizzy and everything is clean and working. - Brand new spark plugs and leads Could it be the fuel pump? It's the mechanical pump which looks pretty old. With fuel filters attached just before each carbie I can see that one is receiving more fuel than the other, should this be the case?

Hey Pauly, I actually bought her from Sydney and haven't changed plates yet! I'm in ACT, but am Sydney from time to time. I'll keep an eye on the NSW section and try get to a Sydney meet! Josh

I agree, if Chris is willing then go for it!

.

great turn out despite the shitty weather! Looks like we've recruited another member, Phil with his yellow 240Z. A couple of pictures:

I'm keeping my eye on weather updates, looks like gnarly wind & rain Saturday continuing into Sunday. So it poses the question, will Marquee In The Park still be on, if so will you guys be going if the weather looks dodgy? I really try to keep mine out of the wet, but the odd trip out won't hurt. What's everyone's thoughts?

Diff is all good, no need for a new one yet! Both gearbox and diff are leaking no oil at all, it was the clutch fluid - a much cheaper fix.

Bruce is by far the best Mechanic I dealt with and does some top-notch work to match. I highly recommend him to anyone!

I'm in, my car should be out of the shop by then fingers crossed! Do we have a list of all who are going? I'm also confused about the meeting place and time, as the poster says 10am but are we meeting earlier for a cruise as well?

I'm not too sure of his setup, all I know it will be a V8TT in a Centura. I've forwarded your details on Nick so he may give you a buzz soon.

Yeah, I was trying to find the rebuild kit for the standard ones, but couldn't find any! So I talked to Bruce and I'll go down to his shop on Monday to discuss what to put on, maybe webbers not sure yet. Any suggestions? Around the $1,000 mark with a bit more power but not too thirsty.

My car will be in the shop, so I won't be able to make it! Damn. I will see you guys soon though, Marques In The Park

Ha ha, I wish!! It's for a mate of mine, he's got this crazy turbo setup idea. I'll definitely post some pics once he's done (non-Z car though)

I'm looking for 2 stock Z32 turbos, so you have a pair or know anyone who's selling let me know! I've posted elsewhere, but thought I'd try here too. Any condition is fine.
