Yeh, it can be fair evil at night, especially if theres been rain recently, it'll be all dry then some corners will have big patches of wet on them, and the corners have a habit of coming out of nowhere

Great road though and i normally go up at around 2am to avoid traffic (any other time i get stuck behind like 6 caravans that don't understand what a pull-in is)

I'm planning one on nov 3rd, 4th or 5th, have a few cars coming (the day that i can actually drive my gtr) so far if you don't get any interest, will probably be late at night though to avoid traffic

Edited by GTAAAH

me an a group use to go up in the summer, late at night for mountain runs up an back

the road surface is really good, but it is very dark......

i have seen people lose control and crash on that road

some parts of the roads are very narrow, you must watch out for on coming cars an trucks ( an yes even, at that time of night)

if you know your car, then take it for a run. but if you dont then take it easy, an enjoy the nice roads an corners

OVERALL

a very good place to go a drive / run

you can pull some really good G's around some corners :rolleyes:

thats all i wanna do go for a nice drive on a nice road. im not going up to push the limits of my car around corenrs iv never been through before.

anywhose if you interested in coming we will most likely meet up at brandon park business center around 11ish leaving by 11:30 but ill update the first post so look out for any changes

hey guys

myself and dilmah will be heading up to the black spurs friday night around 11pm. if theres enough interest i can post up a time and meet point for others to join us.

iv never been there before so will be taking it easy but if you have and would like to give it a squirt and have fun come down.

thanks

Ash :thumbsup:

Sound good,

At this stage, i'm in, as long as you drive nice and easy so i can catch up in my 1.3 lt gt turbo :).

its a good quick smooth road but dangerous for newbies especially at night. I think ambulance corner still has oil on the road going back towards healesville so take it easy. I ride my bike up there during the week and should be up there on friday during the day either in the car or on the bike im not sure yet.

Hi Ashneel!

I used to be on fastmagna a few years back!... long live the astron!

for this mini cruise, if its pissing down it would be crazy to do it...

an alternate run up to kinglake is ALOT safer... maybe use it as a backup?

even in the wet the kinglake run is safe.

in the dry the spur is magical

i will pencil myself in. plus a few mates.

Mag86 (worked U12 Pintara-2-tone burgundy/grey)

Nomad. (r31 psykline-purple, white 17")

Fuzzter (off its nuts GC8 WRX-green )

i will also be bringing a CB radio... very handy for relaying messages/warnings

PM me your number and i will SMS my details etc for updates?

hey mate i dont know the kinglake run

i wouldnt mind doing that tomorrow also. i was gonna scrap this now cause the weather aint looking good tomorrow at all but if kinglake yuou say is still good int he wet we cans till do it but would you be happy to lead???

ill pm you my number

i dunno guys i don't think its a good idea to go on a cruise where everyone (meaning cops) knows the time and place.

better to meet somewhere and then organize the destination.

lol what??

either way we will have to post up a time and place to meet.

dont worry bout ti dude. only way cops will notice you is if you make them notice you. lay low and no stupid behaviours and you will be all good.

just waiting for a repy from MAG86

i dont know how to get to kinglake so if he can lead us there will be all good unless theres someone else here who knows how to get there.

also my car is still at RE customs. was hoping to get it back today but they said tomorrow. so ill have to wait and hear from them also

Hey guys. I'd be down if the weather is ok, althought I've done it when it was absolutely drenched but it was early morning and you could see which way the road was turning. Please PM if this is still all go tomorro night.

Thanks

moe

    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
    • Could be correct. Meter might be that far out. Compare against a known 5 ohm 1% resistor.
    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap.  (edit: I went out and did it right now, the line I had chosen did appear to have no vacuum on it, it used to go to the front of the intake, I've now completely blocked that one off at the bracket that holds several vacuum lines by the firewall.  I T'd into the vacuum line that goes from that bracket to the vacuum pump at the front of the car, but no change in the MAP readings).  Using the new vacuum line that has obvious vacuum on the hose, im still only getting readings between -6.0 and -5.2.  I'm wondering why the ECU was detecting -5.3 when nothing was connected to the MAP nipple and ECU MAP selected as the source. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
