So I am getting my VE SS later this week and have the whole next week off to take the car for a good run before I start my new job.

Done the GOR, Black Spur, Dande Mountains etc in the past. I am looking for some new spots to take the car out and test it out and run the engine in. I have a whole week so looking at doing a few different trips.

Reefton Spur - head out through Warburton, runs up past Lake Mountain and comes in at the back of Marysville. Unfortunately, you have to use the damned Black Spur to get home.

Also, NDSOC are having their annual Gippsland Drive this Sunday up to Walhalla. Details on their website (www.ndsoc.com.au)

Forget Marysville, go to Kinglake, and get on Healesville-Kinglake Rd through Toolangi

Looks like fun......

And take Jacks number with you when the barge misses the side of the mountain. It is a fun road though.

Hey, I thought you were getting a commonwhore, but that looks like an astra in the pic you emailed me......guess their 1 Bill couldn't afford a car stylist........

What about Mornington Peninsula, there is plenty of good roads to check out, just look at whereis.com maps.

The good road is around the Arthurs Seat, should be good to test the handling of VE SS.

EDIT:

Check out Bittern-Dromana Road, if you want some hairy action to test the electric aids...

My driveway :)

Some crazy action for ya if you like going up 30 degree slopes with hairpin bends!

But seriously...when you say test it out, are you gonna want to flog it a bit to see how fast it goes, or more handling wise? cos all the roads ppl have suggested so far are fairly winding so you wouldn't wanna go too fast :D

my bro did a BMW Induction day up in healsville, bout 6 diff Bimmers to try out... 4 people got done for speeding :woot: so there's a little tip for the healsville area, not sure what road exactly i'm sorry

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
