I was in Belair National Park over the weekend, and up the back it looks like they've recently done up the "Karka" area, pretty damned nice and a good BBQ spot.

It's $7 per car entry but that'd hardly break the bank.

The SAU Vic Club has pretty full calendar (incl. cruises) so it'd have to fit in there.

Also unless we went the whole way, I'm not really sure how good the routes would be from on our half, the GOR only really gets good between Lorne to Apollo Bay, and simply doing the direct highway drive isn't exactly riveting (trust me I've done it a dozen times in the last few years).

There were rumours of a Oz wide "Skyline Muster" earlier in the year, but it didn't gain enough traction, damned shame as I would have gone for sure!

Edit: Could always hookup with some Western Vic people?

They seem to have a couple of events on the horizon: http://www.wvcruiseclub.com/forumdisplay.php?f=63

They seem fairly organised and mature, despite a high percentage of Falcadore drivers, and they have a disclaimer. :D

That would have been awesome! My girlfriend was only saying this the other day that we should get a group and drive interstate. I'd definitely be up for it, even if it's just a small group, possibly Christmas time

6 months notice?!

If we were only going half way to Melb you could do it all in 1 weekend, I'd just need a few weeks / a month, personally.

Sure if it was some big muster you'd need a lot of notice but then I'd drop a LOT of things to be there regardless.

Me and my girlfriend did the Sydney to Adelaide trip in a day. Was a nice drive too, took it in shifts, one drove, one slept. Stopped for a couple drinks/meals on the way as well. As long as you are sensible about it, it's good

yeah well im not made of money ive been meaning to go to sydney for like 1.5 years and just havnt gotton there my mate would be willing to put a few of us up not sure how big his property is but we could bring tents :O

Vic would be good if you get down on the great ocean road. Need a bit more time that just the weekend to do that maybe.

As for a drive to Sydney, it's not really that exciting. I've done the trip several times in the last 5 years & I never look forward to it.

Only reason I'd wanna head up that way is to head to for something like the Canberra summer-nat's.

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox !
