Yeh, it can be fair evil at night, especially if theres been rain recently, it'll be all dry then some corners will have big patches of wet on them, and the corners have a habit of coming out of nowhere

Great road though and i normally go up at around 2am to avoid traffic (any other time i get stuck behind like 6 caravans that don't understand what a pull-in is)

I'm planning one on nov 3rd, 4th or 5th, have a few cars coming (the day that i can actually drive my gtr) so far if you don't get any interest, will probably be late at night though to avoid traffic

me an a group use to go up in the summer, late at night for mountain runs up an back

the road surface is really good, but it is very dark......

i have seen people lose control and crash on that road

some parts of the roads are very narrow, you must watch out for on coming cars an trucks ( an yes even, at that time of night)

if you know your car, then take it for a run. but if you dont then take it easy, an enjoy the nice roads an corners

OVERALL

a very good place to go a drive / run

you can pull some really good G's around some corners :rolleyes:

its a good quick smooth road but dangerous for newbies especially at night. I think ambulance corner still has oil on the road going back towards healesville so take it easy. I ride my bike up there during the week and should be up there on friday during the day either in the car or on the bike im not sure yet.

Hi Ashneel!

I used to be on fastmagna a few years back!... long live the astron!

for this mini cruise, if its pissing down it would be crazy to do it...

an alternate run up to kinglake is ALOT safer... maybe use it as a backup?

even in the wet the kinglake run is safe.

in the dry the spur is magical

i will pencil myself in. plus a few mates.

Mag86 (worked U12 Pintara-2-tone burgundy/grey)

Nomad. (r31 psykline-purple, white 17")

Fuzzter (off its nuts GC8 WRX-green )

i will also be bringing a CB radio... very handy for relaying messages/warnings

PM me your number and i will SMS my details etc for updates?

i dunno guys i don't think its a good idea to go on a cruise where everyone (meaning cops) knows the time and place.

better to meet somewhere and then organize the destination.

lol what??

either way we will have to post up a time and place to meet.

dont worry bout ti dude. only way cops will notice you is if you make them notice you. lay low and no stupid behaviours and you will be all good.

just waiting for a repy from MAG86

i dont know how to get to kinglake so if he can lead us there will be all good unless theres someone else here who knows how to get there.

also my car is still at RE customs. was hoping to get it back today but they said tomorrow. so ill have to wait and hear from them also

      If doing that ^, I'd take the idle up valve out and plug the hole in the pump.

      You can try capping the power steering idle up valve at both ends if it's old. The valve and the intake manifold. That is something that is known to fail in Toyotas with age and it will suck power steering fluid into the intake and burn it in the engine which can cause issues. Then bleed it again with engine off first. Do like 30+ lock to lock turns with the front wheels off the ground.

      Update:   smoke test all pipes no issues cleaned reservoir   fluid put in ( dexron 3 atf)   steering turn side to side and could hearing  gurgling from steering rack which I assumed was air lock, opened one of the steering rack connections and could see loads of air getting pushed out( not sure if you meant to do that / whether it will re introduce air into system)   anyways, loads of side to side sound was gone. Turned car on, pump was slightly ( barely) wining so turned side to side few more turns and fluid level when car on was almost none in resorvoir which I guess is normal if car is one. Turned car of and fluid was gushing out. Almost 200-300cc was pushed out. Repeated engine off side to side followed  by engine on and same result       going mad now. It seems system is either sucking air in whilst on or there is tons of air which I am not giving it enough time to bleed. Thoughts?   would it work like brake caliper if I open steering rack copper pipes and let gravity pull all air out?   or maybe have a restriction somewhere? What is the red circled item, could that be blocked? It i
