hey all

i got a mate who is a member of ausrotary.com and is going to organise a weekend in mansfield and do a few runs up and down Mt Buller over a weekend. Its about 2-2.5 hours from melb. Would there be many guys from SAU that would be interested in spending a weekend in the hills? The drive up is mad fun and once up the top there are massive empty carparks to have some fun in without cop hastles....

would be some traffic but it is minimal, mabie 2-3 cars cummin down wen headin up on average.

Just thought i would post up on here and see if its worth organising a few skylines!?

cheers guys

do you mean, that this will be a proper event.. with closed roads and the like?

I'm not really interested in losing my license or killing innocent people while they're going on a nice country drive....

too dangers... :O

just spoke to mate then and apparently we can get the road closed if we get enough people to it, i would be suprised but will find out for sure. he has booked a joint to eat and drink up there, big pizza shop with bar etc..... looks like it will be the second weekend in january.... noone else interested?

I'm quite interested, but only if the road gets closed off. I am also not too keen on losing license, and/or killing/injuring/scaring the crap out innocent drivers.

Great roads up there. I did a few buller runs in mid January earlier this year with a few mates on motorbikes, but there is more traffic than expected (well, than i expected anyway).

Fun road to drive. Went up fairly quickly - didn't speed (except for once - to get past a bus). Some corners a waaaaay too sharp to race through if the road isn't closed.

As I'm sure anyone who has done some driving on alpine / mountain roads will be able to tell you - some drivers are scary.

Post back if (when?) you manage to get the road closed. Till then, I don't want to kill someone (or myself) by crashing or swerving, losing traction and going over the 'hey - its a long way down' edge.

    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
