Sooooo looking like the 26th then? Objections and location suggestions?

I am happy to go anywhere, I think we are pretty well spread out so no matter what, someone will have a longer drive than others.

I am happy with GOR as I live right on it and it is a magice drive but will go anywhere (within reason!)

If there are people with limited time that need to stay closer to Melbourne then lets do that, would be great to get to some nice spot with room so we can have a bit of a line photo op. So get your thinking hats on lads! There are a few nice car parky spots on the GOR that could work, all depends how far you want to cruise down as well.

Also timing, how commited are people, could we kick it off early and have some nice quiet roads or are the young boys likely to be playing up on a Saturday night so need to ease into Sunday? :rofl:

We've got 2 weeks to organise this, so don't think the 26th is ages away, it's coming right up!

Cheers

Luke

Alright it seems that the 26th is the preferred date. Shame that you will not be able to make it Justin….

So if all are happy the first thread will be updated.

Now as Luke said there is not much time left to organise this and we need to decide if we want to keep it round Melbourne or happy to venture out to GOR etc..

So date is set and we just need to get peoples opinions on destination. I personally don’t care as long here we go and am happy to have an early start…

There are some nice spots up dandy mountains way also….

Again if you have contacts of the member s that haven’t yet seen the thread let them know so we can get a nice group together….

cheers

Yep, got the car back friday, 26th is fine for me too!

GOR would be good, why not.

Good BBQ spots around there Munch? Waterfalls etc?

Early start would be best for me too on a Sunday. How about we have a pre-meet somewhere in Melbourne, say somewhere like the BP outbound on Princess Hwy at like, 10:30 (There is a massive carpark for trucks etc), then we cruise down to another meet point near Anglesea (So the Geelong and GOR boys can meet us there), then off to whereever for food, relaxing and chatting?

I've got a portable BBQ that I could bring, food, drinks etc not a worry in a wagon :happy:

Maybe make it all the way down to Lorne, then there is a road up to Colac from Lorne that isnt bad, unless Luke you suggest something different?

Sounds good Alex,

It is hard to go past Lorne for a good spot to stop off and if you don't head down that far then your not really on the GOR at all as far as I am concerned.

We could grab lunch there, a few take aways or a counter meal at the hotel, mostly around the $20 dollar mark so not cheap but nice. Happy to BBQ though if that is the favoured option?

Could head out the back as suggested or a short run up to Erskine Falls (might be a bit dry at the moment) there is a car park there in the bush (paved) that might be cool for a few photos (from memory). Then back along the GOR if that is preferred. It is a good road out the back towards Colac though and it will be a lot quieter than the ocean road, then on to the Cape Otway road to Winchelsea, then to Geelong, avoiding the main highway which is always a good move if you can manage it and the roads mentioned are all decent by Victorian standards... A few bumps though...

I'd probably meet up with all in Geelong on the way down as I am only 15min from Lorne so will make more of a drive of it for me.

Any other suggestions?

Cheers

Luke

Disposable income is the best ey :yes:

Counter meal is fine.

Luke, I am going to want to talk some business at the same time too, given that ill be down there anyway, if thats cool?

Yeah that is no problem Alex, I am sure you understand that when you have your own business you are always working! If it is a nice day the Beer garden (deck) is a nice place to eat and enjoy the view.

Cheers

if you want a GOR cruise l designed one some years ago with the Pulsar Group when l organised all the melb cruises.

Its a fair drive though, but def worth it.

I'm possibly only going to be able to make it to the last meet point before u head onto GOR, l've got a 21st the night before, and can imagine l won't be hugely up for driving all day!! :D

That is a long drive, not sure we need/want to go that far, what's everyone think? I know some are up for "anything" but I'm keen on seeing Stageas and owners more than anything and having a bit of a drive as well.

Luke

well im from the east so either way heading down the GOR is gonna be all day driving for me,

But yeah chatting to other stag owners and checking out other stags is main plan

    • Got the gearbox in and the front drive shafts.
    • Hi There I went through a rabbit hole of reading about Xenon headlights and the ADR regulations for having them installed. As people have been defected by running factory xenon I was researching in ways to make them compliant. Everyone always say needs to be self leveling and have washer installed, which I don't necessarily agree with. For this argument I'm using R34 as reference as I'm more aware on the construction of the headlight compared to the R33 Xenon, which may still be the exact same case.   For the self leveling clause taken from ADR 13 - Installation of Lighting and Light Signalling Devices on other than L-Group Vehicles As you can see the bold text "these manually adjustable devices from driver seats" are fine to use. As Series 1 Xenon model headlights do have a 4 level adjuster on the right near the ignition (however not series 2) then these model are consider compliant in that argument.   For the Self Cleaning aspect of this argument clause taken from ADR 13 - Installation of Lighting and Light Signalling Devices on other than L-Group Vehicles Now i can understand the argument that Xenon will need a washer as they are over 2000 lumens, but I clicked on the 12 at the end of that sentence and it takes me to the end notes which states R34 for headlight lenses are plastic, not sure if PL is mark as I don't currently have my skyline to confirm that marking is there. But could you not technically get a lenses with the PL marking on it and then get away with the argument that you need a washer. I went through a quick read of the adr and might have missed something else that may cause them to be non-complaint.    But wouldn't these technically be complaint headlights   Would love to hear other people input on this and shed some light   Edit In regard to the the washer portion I might be mistaken ADR 45 (which I believe is Regulation NO.45) states 12 cd (candela) I dont understand that portion in regarding to calculating the candela if anyone can shed some light. Otherwise I guess throw in a washer for the headlight and you definitely comply.
    • Took it to all Japan day, flogged the hell out of it and took it all, am a very very happy man  don’t know how that ended up in Greg’s thread before
    • Hey Nismo, any chance in the world you still have these seats?
    • I'd say closer to OG GTX3582R, just smaller trim - so 59mm inducer/82mm exducer as opposed to 62/82 for the first gen GTX3582R. Yeah EFRs were boss, the EFR8474 is still an absolute beast and it perplexes me that people still go to things like Turbosmart/Garrett etc when the results people are getting with those are pretty unremarkable compared to what you could get with a turbo available well before those options came out.  DriftSquid (I think) "upgraded" from an EFR9174 to a Turbosmart turbo and promised a comparison video - and kinda shuffled awkwardly and did a bit of diversion from the fact that they didn't get any improvement going to the currently massively hyped brand of turbo from a turbo that was a bit of a frankenstein that had been well superceded in it's own range before the Turbosmart unit he put on there even came out. I suspect the EFR would outperform most Xonas for what a lot of less-insane RB owners would go for, in the 400-600kw range but the Xonas are looking hard to beat up to maybe in the mid 700kw range at this stage- basically where EFRs don't really reach, and before the Precision turbos take over.  What the Xonas do well in the "EFR range" is be easier to package etc, and work very well if a divided housing doesn't suit your application.
