you could contact these guys.

They always seem to know where the best spots to go for spirited drives are.

Don't be an ass and get yourself banned for discussing illegal shit mmkay?

I know... just putting it out there just in case someone decides to take "spirited drive" the wrong way and posts up something like "omg there's a hektik road on the way to Traralgon that me and my cuz cut 180k runs on. valve bouncing ftw uleh".

lol just to point out im not after the "omg there's a hektik road on the way to Traralgon that me and my cuz cut 180k runs on. valve bouncing ftw uleh"

lol

i love my cars and i love to drive and i was just after some nice roads to cruise on. thats all

thanks for your concern though funky :)

one of my fav's is belgrave-->monbulk-->seville-->warburton-->Mt Donna Buang

takes about an hour from start to finish, with the added bonus of the black spur close by from warburton i tihnk

sory i cant remember the road names/numbers, melways is your friend :)

My recommendations:

- Great Ocean Road up to Apollo bay

- Black Spur then to lake mountain (any season is good)

- Mt Danadenong

- Yarra Boulevard - its a 50km/h place

- The shortcut from Ringwood to Lilydale (I think its Jumping Creek Road from memory)

- Rye - drive down the road that follows the coastline (can't remember the name) - also go to Arthur's seat.

- Any of the ski resorts, Mt Buller, Mt Hotham etc. - any season

-> If you want to head out of Victoria - I highly recommend Tasmania - They have some really good driving roads there.

mmmm I must say that was a bit harsh Shan, I mean I know I can be a bit of an ass myself but seriously man the man didn't show any intention of being a hoon or was looking for backstreet racing, we get these cars cause we love to drive, we have meet ups and small cruises at least once every fortnight on roads, to me his question seemed legit and your response was pretty uncalled for and definitely something I wouldn't expect from an Admin I mean posting a link to vic police and commenting about being banned come on man, if I just got my car and this was one of my first post this would really deter me from coming back here and thats not how we want members to feel, is it?

your response was pretty uncalled for and definitely something I wouldn't expect from an Admin

must've not got the memo.

sorry to ride your asses on discussion on hooning and illegal activites, but its something we don't tolerate on SAU, and people have been banned for it, I just don't wanna see one of the regulars get into trouble for it...

I thought my post was comedy gold personally :)

in nicer, less sarcastic words... "keep the discussion to good driving roads and touring journeys, and stay away from street racing and breaking the law". Guess I'm too used to people saying "spirited driving" to get around saying "speeding around".

route 412 north from wellington rd. then turn right on to some road starting with y, and come back down through mt dande tourist rd. dont speed as some bits get VERY bumpy and narrow and some are busy/residential. good drive though. just get a recent melways and have a look at any twisty bit u ccan see. then go drive them

I thought my post was comedy gold personally :P

so aggreed.. I had a good chuckle... I thought you were going to link to like a exotic rental place with maps or something...

I think the admins' humour on these forums is pretty decent actually... :D

- Rye - drive down the road that follows the coastline (can't remember the name) - also go to Arthur's seat.

Nepean Hwy. Not a good place for a modified car. Cops out in force and defecting regularly, particularly during the warmer months.

Some of the roads out the back of Healesville (not through the Black Spur, through the other side of Healesville) are awesome but they’re likely to make you a bit carsick. No straights, all corners.

i went to yai or yae ? or something cant remember was almost 4 hours in some mountain area at the end some tree fell we had to turn back but yea im down for cruising 100% 2 more weeks and ill come where eva

ye 2 more weeks for me to till the new car is in the driveway so just wanna go out for a nice long drive.

been to Yae and through melba h/w and ye that was an awesome drive.

thanks for some of those roads guys. had a look on google mps roads looks good.

has anyone been to the yooyangs?

Drive around them 3 times a week on the way to uni.... it's nothing special.

edit: especially with the amount of trucks on bacchus marsh-geelong road these days

Edited by Jack-

the only good thing about the yoo yangs is the straight prior to getting there and the car park once there :) , as for the walks, they are kinda cool, nice views but nothing even close to the workout at the 1000 steps... :)

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
