Yeah, once again, suggest places to go visit, with awesome scenery, good dinners and stuff. I can even take a flight to Sydney or Brisbane for her birthday. The whole cook for the girlfriend at home with candlelight and all doesn't work anymore since i cook for her all the time, dinner at home isn't special anymore, i've run out of things to cook anyway.

Suggestions! I have a budget of say, $500 to burn on this celebration. Not inclusive of airfare if needed, that can be extra. Sigh, i'm asking because i've only been here for like 3 months, so i'm still fairly unfamiliar with the place. This whole thing will take place on the 14th and 15th of November, so i've got time to get things sorted.

What about Mount Dandenong? There's a restaurant there called Skyhigh, I was gonna take my girlfriend there for her birthday.

But now I'm taking her out for dinner down in Mornington Peninsula, then I booked a private mineral bath down in Rye (Peninsula Hot Springs), then gonna take her down to Rye beach and spend some time there :whistling:

Mornington Peninsula is nice, I've rented a house there for a couple of nights this Easter and last Easter break. Beaches there are nice, good views from the holiday houses, and as Charles said the Hot Springs are a good place to go.

ask her ? but in a sneaky way.... heard this guy do it on the radio ...

tell her you have a day booked for you two, and then get her to write down her guess's and what you have planned just to see how close she is.

then use those idea's and make a day of it .... birthdays and xmas are no longer a head ache!

cause obviously she is writing down what she likes and wants.....

What happens if she writes down the same thing everytime? lol

Then birthdays and xmas just becomes a routine :(

Brekky from the B&B you stay at....

RACV site lists heaps... budget 450ish for two nights, you want a self contained cottage with spa and log fire.

If needed I can suggest accommodation too :(

I recently spent a night at Mills cottage in como cottages olinda

We had a fantastic time. Spa, open fire. Ultimate romantic place.

Went up to sky high for dinner. Will cost you about $260 a night on fridays/saturdays or $195 during the week.

Highly recommended

just come to my place, will watch the fast and the furious

Loll

anyway back on topic..,i thought skyhigh was pretty good wen i took the lady there, for 500 bucks i'd say do a full day thing and take her to a few places,,and enjoy the drives in between :P ,,but yeh its the spending time together part thats important, so jus try goin to places where theres a lot to do

have fun,chief

How bout Apollo Bay.... Nice drive there along great ocean rd.. Then stay somewhere nice.. Some cool stuff to see around there to in the ottaway ranges.....

I was planning on renting a sports car and doing this for my gf's bday, but no one rents out a new mustang :P

I just did peninsula hot springs with my girlfriend. Massage and bath and then had lunch at Rye. Hot springs massage and bathe is like 125 each peak season.

How did that go? I'm going there on thursday night :)

    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
