Just "slightly" ncorrect.

If you leave Avalon @ 10.30am, you will be in Apollo Bay well and truly before 1pm. Almost 12.30pm.

Then back in Melb around 5pm at the latest... which allows for a 2.5 hour lunch stop virtually

Cheers.

and stops on the way there? what time just stops for them. add 2 30min stops and its 2 by the time u get ther amd same back, home round 7

Stops along the GOR? Where?

There is not enough room anywhere but Anglesea across the road from the Shell (gravel car park) to stop 10+ cars.

And Lorne is a pointless stop when your only 20mins from Apollo Bay, plus there is no parking at this time of year as its still peak.

Anywhere else is sheer sillyness & undue risk if you ask me. Last thing you want is an accident... but hey... im not organising this one.

Just giving tips ive picked up after doing events for 4 years, and going down the GOR maybe 200 times? :wave:

Goto Apollo Bay (12.30-1pm)

Lunch in the park and a wander around the local stores/arears (1pm-1.45pm)

Cruise to the Harbour or something and take shots with the boats/sea/rock walls nearby (2.00-2.30)

Cruise back via the Otways to Melb (2.30-5pm)

Even if you stuck at the harbour for another 30mins, your still home intime before mummy has dinner ready >_<

hey guys how we going.

my aim is to be back in melb my 6 as i now have to drive an extra 2 hours to some were in vic for ester (i think its stall as my sis is running at the stall gift)

any way im keeping the stops to a sort of min to allow as much traverling time and a decent lunch brake (45min is too short when u order fish and chips) :happy: .

so yea we go from bell st maccas at 8.30 leave little river servo (avalon airport) at 10.30 be at lorne by 12 apollo bay by 1 and then back.

can you guys plz pm if your still meeting me at the bell st maccas thanks

    • So been ocd with timing mark but checked from few angle and seems both cam are on and crank is matching as well to the slot on sump and crank pully   i noticed crankshaft cover has been robbed as per attached pic. Any ideas why? Could my balancer or harmonic be on its way out? should I replace the cover? https://ibb.co/ZR1JFYRR
    • So now doing the change and first time dealing with rb so little nervous giving engine power and potential for screwing it up When you align all marks and then remove crank bolt, timing move little I assume you can put the bolt back in once you have removed the pully to get timing to where you want?   here is pic of my both intake and exchust cam aligned, depending on angle you look they seem to be either aligned or a half tooth or so out. Any thoughts? Should you angle your face and look at each mark that way as if looking straight rather than from above as it can be misleading   <a href="https://ibb.co/ZpnhcvbF"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/HfWrGR9b/IMG-4447.jpg" alt="IMG-4447" border="0"></a> <a href="https://ibb.co/4wm2wn4q"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/JWBqWwr1/IMG-4445.jpg" alt="IMG-4445" border="0"></a>   https://ibb.co/ZpnhcvbF https://ibb.co/4wm2wn4q
    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy Haven't really thought of that yet, but you are right. If the hose was damaged it should be absolutely pissing by now. I'll put some heat sleeve around it for good measure since I'm already removing the line anyway.  Maybe I'll put on some of the stock hardlines if I ever fully remove the turbos again. Maybe when T51R modding the compressor housings? Might be a fun mod on GT28s for that "fake single turbo" effect.
    • Update 1: I did some work on the car already before finalizing this post and my "issues" list. I dropped the Tomei exhaust in favor of the HKS Hi Power Silent. Sounds nice and I can actually hear myself think now. Also gives me a realistic chance to legally drive without silencer inserts. A bit of cheating was necessary to still be able to mount the Top Secret style diffuser. Some malusage of washers and a bit of "convincing" toward the brackets and exhaust hanger seemed to do the trick. The shaky steering wheel has been resolved as various suspension components were worn, like sway bar bushings and link bars. Most notably the two steering tie rod ends. Had some trouble finding bushings because my sway bars are not OEM thickness, 23.x up front and 27 rear. But non adjustable, so no aftermarket I suppose. Maybe they are nismo units? Turbo oil drain hoses were definitely still the originals and are new now. Wasn't the cause of the turbo oil leak sadly. Currently removing the rear turbo because of it, I suspect the braided oil feed line is the culprit. This issue needs to be dealt with so I can work towards actually getting the turbo setup legal and inspected. Two new issues to add to the list as well. Rear Main seal is probably leaking. Time will show how bad it is, I don't really want to drop the gearbox right now just for the stupid seal. Could fix a few other things in one go once I do that. Front right driveshaft grease is going past the cv boot, so at some point I'll fix that too.
    • Ok so no 4cyl clutch... Yeah it is a factory manual. So if iam correct i need clutch and flywheel too? I can use something that suits something like R32 GTST?   EDIT: https://www.ebay.com/itm/224291042776 Is this ok?   EDIT2: i maybe forget to mention this(dk how important it is) but the trans will be behind RB25DET NEO(iam doing swap) It will be there for a little while. Iam planing to do bigbox or BMW tranny..
