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.......

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.

    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
