Well its coming upto a long weekend, and i wanna go away somewhere but im stumped for ideas. Im sick of the typical places like Philip Island, GOR, Lorne, etc, and was just wondering if anyone has any ideas on something a lil different? Nothing tooo expensive tho...

Anyone else going away?

Any of the ski resorts are really nice and cheap this time of year, if youn like going on long walks and what not.

Falls creek and Mt Buffalo will have crazy bike riders on them this weekend doing the alpine classic, could be fun to watch... maybe

I just spent a week in Merimbula (about 2.5 hours past Lakes Entrance) and it was awesome! we rented a holiday house with a few friends on the beach... just cooked bbq and drank beer all week... definately good going southern NSW coast, bit of a change from the usual GOR etc... however it takes pretty much the whole day to get there, plus another to get back so not really long weekend material

O/T: was overcast one day too so me and a mate went into the local toy store, bought a Tamiya RC car and spent the rest of the day building it and drinking beer... only to find the next day that we had missed a bunch of stuff and had to rebuild half of it... this time sober haha

go the Frog, 1980's are back!

The whole area around lake king is great. Lakes Entrance, Metung, Loch Sport, Paynesville, Raymond Island, Bairnsdale. Quite a few things to see and some good beaches. Nice laid back area and if you enjoy fishing its perfect. Bout 3-4 hour drive from melbourne for most of those places, so you can even head up on a friday night after work.

however it takes pretty much the whole day to get there, plus another to get back so not really long weekend material

Teh trick is to leave at 4am, that way you've arrived by 9-10am and have the whole day to sleep on the beach

Plus, you miss all the traffic :(

My mate had the grasshopper and I had the grasshopper II. His one came in the nasty yellow colour while mine was white but repainted (poorly) by me to deep blue.

I have an old Tamiya magazine here from the 80's, should put it on ebay!

Sorry not really long weekend ideas though :P

if you want a good offroad buggy get the DF03

they can put up with a beating lots of aftermarket support :P me and friends use to go skate bowls and flip them and do tricks with them got vid some where

none the less good things this weekend

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
