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.

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
