Cruise & Camp (victor Harbor Or Other Alternatives)


Recommended Posts

Yeah that is probably true when it comes to Victor, there are other caravan parks down that way we could go to. Could make it Normanville or Goolwa or even Rapid Bay. Will call the victor caravan parks though before rulling this out, but need a better idea of numbers first.

Thinking he may be referring to more than just crashes mate. Break downs & stuff would also be on the cards for that long a trip.

I'd also suggest if we were going to go as far as Stansbury the car's being used are running reliably, & that people should try & bring tools & spare parts just in case.

Somewhere like Victor it's not so hard too go & get something if you really need it.

LOL we are driving skylines so i can see reliability being an issue :P

Yes well I'm a southerner too which explains why I keep seeing you :P. Figured it would be a bit further for us, probably about 2 & a half hours for us roughly.

I think one of the main points of this though it that it should be an enjoybale drive to get to the destination & then coming back too rather than just a boring highway trip. Personally I've never been over to the Yorke peninsula so I wouldn't know what the roads are like.

Another suggestion might be Wallaroo nice beaches, fishing, close to Moonta Bay and Kadina. Also a hour away from clare if your into wine. Trip up there is easy about a hour and half bit dry at the mo so mostly brown in colour. Some farmers weird structures on the way up to lol at.

i think a two night stay would be good sumtime caravan parks have dormatory type cabins your can hire

our church group went to wilminton the other year and we got like a 12 berth cabin not modin but cheap and fun we had like 12meter bon fires each night

i love Yorke Peninsula, it's heaps nice up there

but it's such a long drive.

It's amazing what different people call a long drive.

My wife's family live 6 hours away near Port Lincoln, and we'll drive there and back in a weekend.

I'm not a huge fan of 6 hours after a full day of work though.

Her father has driven to Adelaide and back in the same day a couple times!

He he, I'm into a bit of fishing too, won't post pics cos i don't want to hijack the thread. I'm up for anywhere as i said before, my car is reliable ;) (touches wood)

I have a annual trip down yorks, good fun, great people, nice drive, good fishing and too much beer :D But that's real camping, not this caravan park stuff :laugh:

I'm up for 1 or 2 nights, but if it's for 2 nights i'll need a bit more notice due to work. I'm guessing it would be the same for others tho.

If people are worried about reliability there'd be nothing stopping people from driving non Skylines. While the drive is part of the adventure, I think it's more the social side of things that comes first on this one :D Just my thoughts, feel free to disagree.

If we do go a bit of a ways i might be a good idea to organise someone with a trailer to ferry some gear across, big esky, bbq etc. we could chip in a couple of bucks each to cover the extra fuel.

Yeah I don't think 2 to 3 hours would be so bad myself. I'm used to spending well over an hour traveling each day.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
