Planning to go on a cruise with some 4+5 mates cars(R33's and S15's) this weekend but need some good twisty smooth surfaced roads, like TOUGE BATTLE ;) .. I hear Dandenong mountains have some good roads but is there any other that you know off? Road names and area names would be great!!

If interested, come tag along.. the more the merrier! We're a friendly bunch, can meet some where before heading off!

Head up to healesville, through the town and onto the blackspur, best road i know of in victoria, kills great ocean even in my opinion. - It's a 100 zone, lots of positive camber, smooth surface etc, dunno what touge is mind you, but yeh it's a good road for cornering

I thought Black Spur was 80 zone now, might be wrong though.

There are some very good twisties off from Healesville instead of going through the spur. They are super twisty though and bought us back eventually through Eltham. Somewhere near King Lake

touge is the mountain runs where one car follows another - and basically to determine who wins, they calculate the gap between the 2 cars. If the gap is increased, the front car wins, if its decreased, the back car wins. Best motoring had some good touge battles...tsuchiya, orido and all those people doing what they do best.

But yeah, there are some nice roads up north, but last time i went, there was road works, so becareful up there. Good twists, but due to the road works, it was very narrow.

the road alan is talking about was via toolangi, i am sure that is 100 though ;-) very good road, and if u r super keen then join both the spur and that road to make a long drive.

That's the one! I forgot you were on here as that was your cruise ;)

have you been to Arthur Seats? it's got some twisty road over there..

try Studley Park , off Johnston st but don't go too fast in the 1st run :yes:

did u mean yarra blvd? lots of cops on that road.

healesville is about 20min from lilydale. authers seats is too short a road, but maybe i am imagining things, havent been to it in a while, esp not on my evo.

If your up for a long drive, id say go up to MT Hotham, the drive from Harrietville to the top of MT Hotham is something else, ive been working up there for the past 5 months and driven up and down in the work car to many times and it never gets boring :cheers: great scenary as well when your close to the top, just be careful of the wombats, wallabies and deers that you might collect on the way up and down:)

Mt Dandenong: Mountain Highway is a nice drive, smooth and fun, mt dandy tourist rd, sherbrooke rd is an interesting one but punishment on exhausts and body kits. Emerald Monbulk rd and that area is nice, also finishing near upper beaconsfield is a good run...

Black Spur: a good ride if you can go there without traffic getting in your way...continue onto reefton if you have balls and a well setup car. Just dont blame me if you die at 1am up there, and watch the fires up there

Arthurs seat: a nice little set of uphill and downhill runs, tight in some spots, make sure you dont understeer into a cliff on the way up or off a cliff on the way down.

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
