good one sau, dont tell me if there are new replies

thanks to those that came, we've decided on a route

the one that was suggested was good but a bit long

how does this suit everyone? New Route

its got a bit of gravel (good gravel roads apparently) but we will try and work out a way around that

Yeh that looks alright, ive been on most of those roads are they are good, only turnoff for ppl might be the gravel and wrecking their paintjob but if we can find a way around it i think we'd get more ppl. :) good plan though!

have you added up the differences? it's all of 15km different

:banana:

not quite sure what you mean there

15km total length difference or in terms of length of gravel?

apparently the gravel on the route is pretty good quality, will just have to tell everyone to leave lots of room

i could have sworn that the first route was 300km

oh well, those that came to the meet up friday night expressed that the first road had some boring sections in it that weren't that good

there was also some gravel/dirt on the first route too

but realistically, how many ppl are bringing their show car along? gravel is fine to drive along as long as you dont go behind a boostcruiser lol

very good point, but some people dont like the fact either way.

me not being one of those!!

hmmmm, i thought this would be a problem for some ppl.......

its just a bit of gravel

and we're gonna work out if there is a way around it

Hey i'm new to all this and i'm interested in coming along on this cruise. What do i need to do to be able to come along?

all you need is a full tank of fuel, good attitude, don't talk like a douche and bring a walkie talkie if you have one

we'll stop for lunch in deloraine too so bring money for food

what about this? Click!

i drove as far as lilydale today and its a good road through the back near Bangor

and it brings us back through the sideling

we could meet up 9ish

chill and chat for an hour

leave at 10am

get to Scottsdale for lunch/photos

Back in town early arvo

I would recommend the first idea going from bridgnorth rd to westbury then around the back of deloraine to sheffield elizabeth town and the like.

The last two are also good runs but seriously the first map around deloraine sheffield area is good, no gravel and hardly any boring bits at all. Thats the one i'd be interested in doing if thats the final pick.

Come to a decision guys. We shouldn't leave it anymore than month or so till the next cruise after that anyway and we can try somewhere else like relbia, evandale, white hills, perth, longford, cressy. There all good tight twisting fun roads.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
