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... :)

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
