The time has come to travel our most favoured road again.

Yes, the Great Ocean Road Cruise to Apollo Bay is on again.

Here are the crucials...

1stly.

You must have a full tank of fuel before arriving at your starting meet

point. This will help us depart at the desired times. It's going to be a

big day so not wasting time filling up is pretty important. We had a

problem with this last time with people having to take stops on the way

and thats a pain in the ass.

Ok, onto the details.

Date: 28th Feb 2004

Meet points/Times:

Western Suburbs R3Nismoids Group

Meet at 9.00am - Departing 9.30am

Mobil Service Station on the Ring Road

Eastern Suburbs Snowmans Group

Meet at 9.00am - Departing 9.30am

MegaMart Carpark off Warigal Rd

Melways: 69 G2

Geelong Meet Point ECR33's Group.

Waurn Ponds Hotel

10.30am Departing 11.15am

Melways: 229 B5

Basically, taking a nice leisurely drive down to the GOR.

The run down to Geelong is going to be a slow smooth one to avoid the

fixed camera's that are down there now.

We'll meet on the far side of Geelong, so that we can just get everyone

through without loosing people like what nearly has happened before.

Once the Melb crew's hook up with the guys at Waurn Ponds hotel just

outside of Geelong, we'll avoid the first part of the GOR, and Torquay.

This means we will go down Anglesea Road.

This is 200m from the hotel itself

After that, it's a glorious run down to Apollo Bay. Where we'll

grab some lunch etc and go for a few photo points etc etc. And then a

route home can be discussed.

I have a special home route that we've taken in the past that everyone

seems to like for some... odd... reason... So we'll more than likely

take that route back to Geelong. Basically it goes through the Otway

Ranges, and have a excellent mix of corners and straights

Hope to see everyone there.

If you wish to have my mobile number just in case something happens,

please send me a PM and i'll send it off to you.

:cheers:

If anyone for the South/East pre-meet needs my mobile number please PM me.

I know there are a lot of us coming from a fair way down from the pre-meet point but the idea of meeting there is that it's a very short trip to the freeway so there is a minimal chance of spiltting up the group.

:cheers:

Took my car out on the weekend and at 4K, in second gear, the clutch is slipping :). Has been booked in for the 01/03/04 :rofl:. Would REALLY appreciate a lift with someone, i could be the photo-boy :P, and keep tabs with the 2-way radios.

Please PM me, if a "shot-gun" seat is available :). Willing to drive the company van to anyones house and leave it there.

Thanks

Alan

I think I'll be in attendance too... meeting at Mega Mart.  In terms of fuel, might be wise to top up in Geelong.

Yeah. We got that planned.

i just didnt put it into the orig post to try and keep it short.

Probably just outside Geelong.

I'll be in touch with Snowman on the day. So we'll work it out when we come to it :wassup:

You're welcome to grab a lift with me but I'm in the Fairmont! I'll be there, taking heaps of photos and trying desperately not to hold everyone up.

There will be LOADS of time for pics.

Dont worry.

If you want a few more, just tell Snowman/myself and we'll hold up for another 5-10 mins.

More pics the better, especially before MAS.

Hmmm.... I supose I'd better get me one of those cb radio's. Where do I go for those?

And I MAY have a shot-gun seat available. But won't know until closer to the time so don't want to make any promises as yet.

I'll check mine tonight... but i'm 99% sure they are UHF or whatever it is.

Just the Uniden/GM ones etc you can pick-up from Dick Smiths etc for like $80-$120.

The cheapest ones (uniden) are pretty average for the $80 one though.

If your looking for a radio. Go here http://www.prestigecom.net.au They ship same day as order is placed. It arrives from perth to your front door overnight. (Mostly) UHF is the way to go. Don't waste your time and money on AM CB.

I'll cyas all at SE meet point. Looking forward to it.

Also don't buy Digicor, Digitalk, Digiwhatever hand helds. I was a sucker and wasted my hard earned cash. Go the extra $20 and buy uniden. Also 5watts is stronger than 2w and Grounded in car radio is better than a handheld.

Maintenance is also important road trips etc, make sure your car is up for it we don’t want to be calling RACV out to get people towed home, it would really be a shame. So make sure all fluids are topped up, tires checked (tread and pressure) just general stuff to make it better for your car and your enjoyment.

I might not be there as my car isn’t ready, I’ll see what I can do about some sort of lift but I’m sick of bothering people. Hopefully everyone has fun, no cops….well lets hope. Cheers Rob

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
