After bumping into Wanzi at the 1000 steps I thought I'd see who else is a regular there? I've seen a few skylines but it's hard to say hi when most of the time the owners are probably somewhere up the hill :). :)

Yesterday we managed to see 4 lyrebirds of which 3 were having a dispute over territory and having a sing off. Which ended in the adult chasing the kids down the steps right in front of us :blink: was fantastic to see.

And for those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about -> http://www1.visitvictoria.com.au/displayOb...90000/vvt.vhtml

Funny that, I saw Wanzi's car there today too :D

I personally preferred the Wineglass Bay/Hazards Beach circuit in Tasmania (About 4 hours walk) as that has a good variation of up/down and different types of surfaces, so all the muscles received a workout instead of just burning up the front half of the quads.

used to do it alot in 06/07....tried again recently and yep they were every bit as nasty as i remember...LOL Still awesome tho.

Personally i recon a couple of goes at the steps shits on the wineglass bay journey, however the view at the top is beautiful...in saying that when the footy teams hit up the steps the view at the top isnt what I'd class as bad haha :D

hahaha, liking the sound of that :D

altho, its 5ks and takes 2 hours to walk? is that just cause of the layout/steepness of it?

2 hours must be when you're going really slowly and stopping every 10 steps to rest.

It's about 20 min from the carpark to the top of the steps, maybe another 10 to reach the one tree picnic ground, but I don't think many actually go there, most do laps of the steps

It's just near my girlfriend's place. We went there once. Walked for about a minute and then decided we couldn't be bothered :cool: If I lived in the area then I'd definitely be running there regularly.

this the first i've heard of it, is it just a bunch of steps people walk up and down like Rocky ?

its the first part of a bush trail that is meant to be a kokoda simulation. the actual steps run for about 1.8km up mt dandy

Used to do it quite regularly, great way to get fit.

You'll always spot the over enthusiastic first timer that thunders up the steps at the start and ends up nearly dying from exhaustion not too far up.

I'm trying to do it fortnightly these days

i walked down that way once what a pain in the ass

Haha yeah it's too steep to safely run down and also quite steep to walk down since you are constantly fighting against slipping down. So it's a kind of crab walk diagonal to come down at any reasonable speed.

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
