Just a quick post to say thanks for coming to everyone, hope you had fun. Will post a review later.

Was my first cruise as a leader so huge thanks to Dan for navigating and hope you enjoyed the drive up the mountain.

Should be some good pics from the top of the tower at Mount Donna Buang.

Mav - mental note for the next one, don't organise a meet in a park and ride carpark with the young owner of a former yellow taxi on a power trip! :P

Great day, we managed to beat the rain, at least until we got off the mountain :(

Was great to go on a cruise i wasn't organising :P that said, navigating can be just as taxing.

Huge thanks to Saff for being my pilot for the day, as well as my navigator while i had a go! :)

OK Wrap up

Rexdan and I were in the Evo plus 14 other cars at the peak time. Turbox cruised out to Kinglake with us but then headed back to the city and Kaz met us up there and came the rest of the way.

A quick stop on the side of the road to regroup as 5 had got lost off the back possibly due to a small junction being missed in the directions :(

A few photos were taken there before carrying onto Kinglake. Parked up in the large gravel carpark before wandering over for some food from the local bakery. We left Kinglake bound for Healesville at about 12pm after spending 45mins ish at Kinglake.

By passed Healesville and headed up Mount Donna Buang which is an awesome road. We had a relatively clear run which made it more enjoyable and with just 3 cars in the carpark at the top, we all got a park and more pics taken. A few of us climbed to the top of the metal structure which was a bit higher than I envisaged from the bottom! Some more pics taken from up there which should look ace.

Steady cruise back down the Warburton Hwy and a quick farewell in Lilydale before going our seperate ways. All up from the 10am departure to Lilydale was about 4.5hours and then an extra hour roughly for me to get home.

Was excellent, everyone was well behaved that I saw too. Good result for SAU :P

Thanks again to attendees. :)

I was the one taking pics from the tower, I hope the pics come out ok the rail kept getting in the way of the camera when on the tripod. When using the railing to stabalilse the shot, it was clear that the tower was moving in the wind :P. I haven't checked the pics out yet, but when i get home i'll edit out numberplates find the good pics and upload them 4 yas :rant:

Thanks to everyone who was a part of the cruise esp the organisers :rant: it was a heck of a lot of fun esp on one corner ... :(

Looking forward to the next cruise, I'll actually bring MY car insted of going in the bitch seat :rant:.

Well thats all I took though there was another photo taker there as well... not sure who.

Anyway great cruise although a piked out at Kinglake and took the Hurstbridge road?!? home -

DAMN, glad we did not come up that way with a bit of cruise adrenaline flowing as its Dangerous!!

If anyone is interested I have all these in HiRes 2200x1050 I think. My car shown of course! :)

Great pics Greg :)

Thank's AL.

Got to admit a bit of touching up done to make them better and smaller to upload. ;D

Got to get a decent camera one day too might help.

haha...lol...yeh...fun...for you maybe :)

That road is awesome! It's not too dangerous really cos it's a very slow road. The road up the mountain would be worse, much faster but just as fun :)

Another awesome SAU cruise, they never dissapoint, although I really need to try to get to one on time instead of as they are leaving the carpark :)

Big thanks to all the organisers!

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
