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

    • You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
