Vic-nice Roads/spots To Boost/cruise Your Skyline


Recommended Posts

Hey fellow skyliners. :(

I wanted to start a new thread on good locations to take your car for a drive. Please feel free to add other locations that you found fun.

Twisty road and great views:

Apart from the obvious one which is great ocean road, towards lorne, I found Arthurs Seat my favourite. Arthus Seat is on the way to Sorrento. It has some twisty roads while you climb up and the mountain has the best view i ever seen anywhere in Victoria. I highly recommend it.

ill add some pictures i took off my mobile camera to give you an idea of what the view looks like from the top. It also pays to go up there during night if its a nice and hot night, apart from beatuiful views, you might even get lucky if your with your ladie/s lol...enough said.

Please feel free do add your thought on great locations, as i am looking to explore Victoria a bit more.

The blackspur for sure! , such a smooth surface and great corners and straights..

maybe in a few years when it looks decent, atm not much of a view to go look ...

but yes roads are very smooth and twisty in some parts :( much fun to drive on

p.s , this may just help the cops out on where to locate and sting skyline drivers ....... hot spots if you must :)

Probably not for a skyline, but my mate took me in his Evo on this windy gravel road that was about 20-30kms - the best public rallying road I have ever been on. Not a single car for the whole stretch. Awesome fun.

Forgot the name of it, but it is the unsealed road you take from the Otway Fly to the Great Ocean Rd. Actually I think there are a few roads in that region quite similar. Almost made me want an Evo.... almost :D

kew boulavard always good at night, not during the day though to many people. Any one ever go there?

Are your referring to Alexandra avenue area? Or somewhere else?

a friend kept insisting that i should visit the boulevard

and then when i did go there with him, I came accross a white Ford Territory with some big antenaes and blue and red light on the roof

it pulled over, let me through and then sat on my tail for about 1km, before turning off to the side and turning its sirens on

lucky me

lol you know everyone i speak to about that boulevard says yeah there was a cop there, a mobile camera unit etc. as i said i drive down there EVERYDAY and have NEVER seen a cop. weird lol.

i do that drive a lot at night.. there are cops occasionally.

funny that. my friend said that there is never any cops there as well.

might be just my luck for picking the right day and time

speaking of the Yarra blvd there - i drive that rd about 3-4 tmes a week to work and back.

the other night i was driving there with a amte about 4am..and i swear i kept seeing flashes form one of the ouses everytime we went past it. so went back past there to have a look and see if it was a mobile camera or what...but cos it was dark i couldt see anythng. Then when we left *flash* twice again. maybe it wsa a pissed off resident taking photos of cvars flying up there late at night to report to the police?

sop anyone wishing to drive that route be careful.

Out of curiousity 0 if it was a resident claiming cars we 'speeding' up the road at night and she tookphotos of our plates, wat can the police actually do without evidence of us driving dangerously or speeding?? anyone know?

lol you didn't see anyone and have assumed it was a woman...

Without doubt Mountain highway (Enter from the mount dandenong tourist road). The speed limit is 70km/h and its very twisty and windy. Highly recommended. The speed limit is simply stupid, way too fast for the average driver.

    • Please use a modern ECU. PowerFC with the Nintendo Gameboy controller is horrible. It's not 2005 anymore.
    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
