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 :)

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
