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.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.

    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
