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

      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

      I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...

      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?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
