The G-O-Road starts just after Torquay and takes you right through to Lorne, Apollo Bay, Port Campbell, Port fairy, etc on really nice roads, twisties etc...u dont really need a map!

After Torquay you will passs Anglesea then Aireys Inlet - Aireys has a nice little turn off where you could checkout the old lighthouse...plenty of sight seeing along the way too - no suburbia once out of torquay area.

Its great. Phillip Island is good too! Through the dandenong ranges is good, Black spur up to warbuton is great, there are heaps.

I think there is a website that lists these kinds of cruises / drives...

I'd stay away from the Black Spur for some time. There have been a lot of accidents that way in the last 6 months and the police and locals are suspicious of any car which vaguely looks sporty, going fast or not.

My friend has a farm past the Black Spur and he's been hassled on numerous occasions for driving through. He's been let off everytime though as he explained that he has to drive through to get to the farm.

I personally know 2 ppl who have died on the Black Spur in the last 12 months.

Or make your own cruise with this:

http://203.110.143.172/mapmaker/mappage.as...%20campbell_VIC

That shows the route through the Otway ranges which is good to go through too - some say its better than GOR. You can see the GOR runs along the costline here: http://203.110.143.172/mapmaker/mappage.as...pollo%20bay_VIC

Have fun!

It all depends on how much time you got and how fast you drive ;)

I reckon a casual day is out to the 12 Apostles, hanging round there for a bit and then back. Port Fairy is about 5 hours out and once you hang around and come back through the GOR, the whole day and most of the night. You can come back on the inland route which saves you bout 1.5 hrs.

For ref.

*12 Apostles is in Port Campbell [which is further than Apollo bay

*Inland - through the Otways

I drove from sunshine to apollo bay one day just for a drive, round trip was prolly about 5 hours after staying there for 30-60mins. [sunshine is prolly 30-45mins closer than you though inasnt].

In a word.....

No!!!! :P

Besides, my car is off the road indefinately now. Technical difficulties with the harmonic balancer and fuel systems has caused me to pull out of a private session I had booked with the LS1 crew on Sat night ;)

All is lost...

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
