Ok,

The next cruise is planned for Saturday April 24th. But seeming as though there are so many destination options we thought we'd give everyone a chance to vote for where they like to cruise to next.

1. Macedon Ranges - Hanging Rock.

There are some nice easy twisties in and around Woodend, Lancefield, Kyneton, as well as some FWY cruising. And Hanging Rock has a great carpark for photo's etc.

2. Warburton - Reefton Spur.

Good set of regular twisties going through the dandenongs, c0ckatoo, along the reefton spur - then from Warburton we have the option of travelling through Mt Donabuang etc. Long driving day.

3. Peninsular - Portsea Pub.

Again a nice cruise down with a good mix of twistes through places such as Arthurs Seat, Red Hill, plus some nice stopping points like the Portsea Pub for lunch if desired and Point Leo for photo's.

4. The Moon.

Requires Special means of transport. Very long cruise.

:ufo:

Chances are we will do all these cruises at some stage this year. But if you have a preference for the next destination speak up! The desitnation will be decided by April 8th.

:)

hey snowman and ash,

Is there any way you can put a ruff estimate of km's travelled for the different cruise options...also ruff guess of time to get then say from west gate bridge or somewhere central...as the gor was awsom but driving that long...far ..when i got home i felt like i was in a bathurst race...

THE OAK - I'd say both the Macedon Ranges and the Peninsular are roughly an hour and a half from the city. Both cruises involve going to a certain area and then kinda driving around in circles for a while on all the fun roads (if that makes sense) - as oposed to say the GOR which is just a long drive there and back. Warburton is probably an even longer days drive than GOR if you do the mountains as well.

But the beauty of both the Macedon and Penisular cruises is that you can decide on the length of driving based upon conditions as the time gets closer. But because of their proximity to the cbd we can probably have more stops between runs rather than 4hrs of continuous driving followed by an extended break.

Hope that helps.

Just wondering, are the cruises open to anybody?

Open to anyone that wants to come along mate.

More the merrier!

OAK - We can put a rough 'total' KM's travelled, does that help you out?

ie, i'll set my trip meter from my door step and check it on return?

But that is only once we decide on a route... as we aint actually 'planned' this yet.

So it's hard to say.

That would probably be all that we could offer.

Otherwise we are just going to spend too much time organising each cruise (on a chance we might not even do it)...

hence there will be less time for us to organise more cruises for all you boys.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
