Cruise To Hanging Rock! 6/9/08 (saturday) 10:30am


Recommended Posts

Hi guys just bought my new car and thought id post up a cruise to Hanging rock.

Theres a restaurant and carpark facilities available.

Basically we would meet at watergardens car park/car wash at 10:30am and depart at 11:15am.

The trip takes about 50-60 mins so will be arriving approximately 12:30pm.

Route is very simple. We cruise down melton hwy, turn off calderpark drive, proceed and turn left into calder freeway. Straight for about 45 mins. Then turn off exit- (woodend/lancefield) and follow signs to hanging rock!! :)

We'll have some lunch, talk amongst ourselves and admire others beasts then head the same way home.

Be back in the area by 2:30-3pm

All cars are welcome. :)

What to bring: heaps of fuel!!

:D:(:(

well mate im in, i only suggest that u dont freeway it most of the way there, id go through macedon on the way and then turn off for hanging rock from there. would b sweet as fun through the twisties of macedon and then freeway home for speed. will only add tops 30mins extra and b a great drive if the weather is good.

but either way, im there

for those that came on the allure cruise a while back that ended at trenton falls, ull know the way, same as urs tony, just u peel off the freeway, through the macedon ranges and then turn of for hangin rock. its a good drive with some twisties and plenty of spots to stop if u guys want and have a nice pic taken or have some1 go on ahead and photo the cars through.

ill have a more detailed listing when it comes to hand, by that i need to look at my map again. lol

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
