We had a small cruise (Me, Wardest, Pred and Horus) to Portsea pub late last year. Was a nice run down to Flinders and to Portsea via Red Hill.

Old thread with map here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=26859

Perhaps if we go this way - extend it to a drive-in movie in Dromana?

I voted for Hanging Rock though - haven't been there for a while, and we can include the spooky gravity hill on Cherry-tree Lane...

Either way - I'm up for it :D

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.

Ash and snowman,

as i said ruff guess/estimate either way seems macedone or portsea seem to be the go...since i havent been to either...im not really fussed...but alot of twisties is no good (gor twisties) as if you get stuck behind a car its abit annoying....

either way they both seem like good idea's

Ash just tell me whats easier for us West's and ill vote it....

one question though, do cops bother SAU cruises like handing out defects and such?? This would be my first cruise too...

No we don't have a problem because we don't allow dickheads.

Check the GOR cruise numbers. Roughly 50 cars - not one person got hastled and we did see cops on the trip.

hey snowman. i pm'd you a while back about my boss's property in reefton. i'm all for this cruise but will go where the masses go

crack - we will DEFINITELY be doing this cruise at some stage this year and we will be in contact with you beforehand. That cruise we need a little bit more time with orgainiation than what we have right now with MAS and Easter coming up.

Haven't had me along yet then :spank:

Isn't this MSCA race weekend at the Island on Sunday?????? I'll possibly be servicing and checking brakes etc.......

Yes it is. But Im going to do the Maserati Club day the weekend before at Sandown and skip this MSCA round until Im ready for Phillip Island. And because Im organising this cruise I get to pick the date. :devfu:

But Geoff what better way to check your brakes than to come on a cruise? :spank:

Maserati event sounds good and PI is a long drive. I'll book the cruise then as I want to get to Hanging rock, which is looking a clear winner.

My brake checks are usually a bleed out and a few stops from 200kmh to make sure the pads are bedded in after idling around the city for a month.

24th April? It's 1 day after my Birthday, so I voted for The Moon... but will have to wait till I win the lotto so I can buy all the fuels needed to cruise there.... unless all of you want to generously chip in for enough fuel ;-)

Meanwhile, I'll go with the flow. Anywhere is fine.

count me in!!....as I'm from Geelong and not familiar with any of the "actual" locations I dont really mind, just good to be out for the drive. Hopefully there will be a few more geelong members keen aswell....they might actually know where there going :(

but the last GOR cruise was great, sounds like it was a pity i missed the cruise back from the bay.....but my mates g/f only decided to tell me she gets motion sickness after we got through angelsea....grrr....so thats my first question to any possible passangers now.....should also have the wolf 3d installed by then so it'll be good to see the improvement.

the twistier the better I say!!

I think Portsea would be good, but im already half way there so ill have to meet at mt martha or somewhere on the way. Ive lived on the peninsula my whole life and never even considered going on a cruise around here!

Are there many good windy streches of road? All i know is the esplanade around mt martha and its only a 60km zone so not too fun.

Rhett mate there are lots of good roads down your way. Go up to Arthurs seat (awesome drive at night with the views of the lights). Or down to cape schank and then follow the road to Flinders. Or for some real fun go through the "middle" of the penisular through the red hill wine regions. The road quality isn't first class but the roads are very quiet and some are a lot of fun in places.

But the main roads down through that area are quite dull though.

    • 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. 
    • Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
