Planning to go on a cruise with some 4+5 mates cars(R33's and S15's) this weekend but need some good twisty smooth surfaced roads, like TOUGE BATTLE ;) .. I hear Dandenong mountains have some good roads but is there any other that you know off? Road names and area names would be great!!

If interested, come tag along.. the more the merrier! We're a friendly bunch, can meet some where before heading off!

Head up to healesville, through the town and onto the blackspur, best road i know of in victoria, kills great ocean even in my opinion. - It's a 100 zone, lots of positive camber, smooth surface etc, dunno what touge is mind you, but yeh it's a good road for cornering

I thought Black Spur was 80 zone now, might be wrong though.

There are some very good twisties off from Healesville instead of going through the spur. They are super twisty though and bought us back eventually through Eltham. Somewhere near King Lake

touge is the mountain runs where one car follows another - and basically to determine who wins, they calculate the gap between the 2 cars. If the gap is increased, the front car wins, if its decreased, the back car wins. Best motoring had some good touge battles...tsuchiya, orido and all those people doing what they do best.

But yeah, there are some nice roads up north, but last time i went, there was road works, so becareful up there. Good twists, but due to the road works, it was very narrow.

the road alan is talking about was via toolangi, i am sure that is 100 though ;-) very good road, and if u r super keen then join both the spur and that road to make a long drive.

That's the one! I forgot you were on here as that was your cruise ;)

have you been to Arthur Seats? it's got some twisty road over there..

try Studley Park , off Johnston st but don't go too fast in the 1st run :yes:

did u mean yarra blvd? lots of cops on that road.

healesville is about 20min from lilydale. authers seats is too short a road, but maybe i am imagining things, havent been to it in a while, esp not on my evo.

If your up for a long drive, id say go up to MT Hotham, the drive from Harrietville to the top of MT Hotham is something else, ive been working up there for the past 5 months and driven up and down in the work car to many times and it never gets boring :cheers: great scenary as well when your close to the top, just be careful of the wombats, wallabies and deers that you might collect on the way up and down:)

Mt Dandenong: Mountain Highway is a nice drive, smooth and fun, mt dandy tourist rd, sherbrooke rd is an interesting one but punishment on exhausts and body kits. Emerald Monbulk rd and that area is nice, also finishing near upper beaconsfield is a good run...

Black Spur: a good ride if you can go there without traffic getting in your way...continue onto reefton if you have balls and a well setup car. Just dont blame me if you die at 1am up there, and watch the fires up there

Arthurs seat: a nice little set of uphill and downhill runs, tight in some spots, make sure you dont understeer into a cliff on the way up or off a cliff on the way down.

    • Back in January, I noticed my car felt noticeably weak. I had the injectors cleaned, which seemed to solve the problem -- until now. Recently, the car suddenly lost power again while driving. Suspecting the injectors, I brought it to the mechanic. He recommended replacing them entirely, saying the current ones were getting unreliable and fiddly to work with. I could not find a direct replacement for my current injectors. The closest match I found were 440cc injectors. This led me to look into the possibility of upgrading -- and of course, that would mean remapping the ECU. From my research I found: The OEM Part numbers are 16600-72L20 and 16600-72L21 Both the RB20DE and RB20DET use the same 270cc injectors. There are much better options out there over the old OEM injectors. Nistune could be a viable tuning option. While the RB20DE isn’t explicitly listed on their site, the ECU is essentially the same as the GTS-T version - just with a different map. The ECU code on mine is listed as supported. One concern is finding a tuner who works with Nistune. Aftermarket ECU like Haltech and Link, but this would be the most expensive choice (and possibly overkill for a mostly stock RB20DE) I admit that I am very new to the tuning scene and would appreciate any insight or recommendations regarding this.   These are some SAU links where I got some of my information from for reference: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/380324-rb20de-injectors/ https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/477396-factory-270cc-injectors/  
    • The inspectors are not forensic by any means but if you forge your documents and/or badgings on vehicle parts and are found out, the consequences are just far bigger than if you just run illegal parts. And their job quite literally is to cross reference what parts you got installed and what your papers say you got. Something as silly as your suspension being 1mm too low will fail you. Nonetheless I asked if someone knew the damn pipe and I certainly did not ask for smartassery or underhanded comments, no idea why you need to be told this. Great way to waste both our time.
    • As useful as you explaining what forgery is... But then again, I wasn't aware your inspectors were also forensic experts and inspect nameplates on each component to confirm everything is original. They must inspect roughly 3 cars a year at that rate. You're right though, my comment doesn't help you in anyway, so I'll go talk to my wall now. Cheers. 
    • Say that to the guy that is going to fail your inspection or tow your car for illegal exhaust modifications. If you have anything else useful to say, please go tell your wall.
    • You must be fun at parties.
