They would have to be the most boring cruise destinations in the history of cruise destinations since they started to take records on cruise destinations.

Melb is a big city, there is a ton of places to cruise other than ther drive ins and stkilda...

Gordy's suggestions is nice :(

ok i got 2 things to say about all this cruise organising/event thingy.

a) don't suggest a cruise unless you have a destination AND a group activity to do AT the destination.

eg: cruise to Doncaster shopping center carpark. Activity: Tenpin bowling.

eg: cruise to dandenong stockyards. Activity: Drivein movies after cruise.

This is a social car club, not a cruise club (eg: MCCR) if you wanna drive mindlessly from one point to another and enjoy your car, do so, but bear in mind there's other clubs that facilitate that.

As long as there's something good and productive to do at the end then I'm all for it. Driveins are fun coz we get to meet with everyone at the drivein, not jus say "hey you overtook me on the way to this point" etc the next day on the forum.

B) I really don't get why people wanna cruise, yet bitch n whine about going somewhere they don't wanna go coz its too far away from home... i mean wtf... isn't that the point of "cruising"?

Mind you these are my views and not SAU's. I'm down for any cruise/meet as long as you can promise me some social interaction after the cruise, I spend enough time in my car already.

munkeh... these cruises arent official SAU cruises anyway so they can organise them how they want... if they want to drive around for an hour or 2 thats ok... so long as ppl no these are not official SAU cruises.

Hrmm... i think the munkeh is right

we might need a 3rd poll lol, but we can take destinations and activities here then make another poll of the best ones

How about meet at Brighton beach (for a nice view) then drive 12 k's down North rd to huntigdale sidetracked (go karts ppl)?

I voted sky high for the convenience factor :) (I pretty much live next it)

but i think sky high is mad if there is somethin to do there, like a cafe or sumthin..not just standin around our cars...

Although there is nothing to do at sky high itself since the restaurant closed except enjoy the view, we could go to a cafe in the mount dandenong township, there are heaps of them around.

The twisties are great and the roads are deserted in most parts so you can do whatever speed you want (almost). I was doing 155 the other day, for example.

Either way if people do want to cruise to mount dandenong I am happy to help out planning the root.

Cheers

Greg

Well what's wrong with crusing to a place and then talking about your cars/food ?

Isn't that what goes on anyway... AND fit's the bill of a Cruise and being Social

I mean... what would you call the GOR if there wasn't any Ten Pin or Movies ?

or that just 'different?

it was a drive and a chat ... no ten pins/driveins there but i think it was an awesome meet :uh-huh:

Yeah that's what I meant, I jus don't like where you drive from point to point and don't really get to meet n greet.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
