you could contact these guys.

They always seem to know where the best spots to go for spirited drives are.

Don't be an ass and get yourself banned for discussing illegal shit mmkay?

I know... just putting it out there just in case someone decides to take "spirited drive" the wrong way and posts up something like "omg there's a hektik road on the way to Traralgon that me and my cuz cut 180k runs on. valve bouncing ftw uleh".

lol just to point out im not after the "omg there's a hektik road on the way to Traralgon that me and my cuz cut 180k runs on. valve bouncing ftw uleh"

lol

i love my cars and i love to drive and i was just after some nice roads to cruise on. thats all

thanks for your concern though funky :)

one of my fav's is belgrave-->monbulk-->seville-->warburton-->Mt Donna Buang

takes about an hour from start to finish, with the added bonus of the black spur close by from warburton i tihnk

sory i cant remember the road names/numbers, melways is your friend :)

My recommendations:

- Great Ocean Road up to Apollo bay

- Black Spur then to lake mountain (any season is good)

- Mt Danadenong

- Yarra Boulevard - its a 50km/h place

- The shortcut from Ringwood to Lilydale (I think its Jumping Creek Road from memory)

- Rye - drive down the road that follows the coastline (can't remember the name) - also go to Arthur's seat.

- Any of the ski resorts, Mt Buller, Mt Hotham etc. - any season

-> If you want to head out of Victoria - I highly recommend Tasmania - They have some really good driving roads there.

mmmm I must say that was a bit harsh Shan, I mean I know I can be a bit of an ass myself but seriously man the man didn't show any intention of being a hoon or was looking for backstreet racing, we get these cars cause we love to drive, we have meet ups and small cruises at least once every fortnight on roads, to me his question seemed legit and your response was pretty uncalled for and definitely something I wouldn't expect from an Admin I mean posting a link to vic police and commenting about being banned come on man, if I just got my car and this was one of my first post this would really deter me from coming back here and thats not how we want members to feel, is it?

your response was pretty uncalled for and definitely something I wouldn't expect from an Admin

must've not got the memo.

sorry to ride your asses on discussion on hooning and illegal activites, but its something we don't tolerate on SAU, and people have been banned for it, I just don't wanna see one of the regulars get into trouble for it...

I thought my post was comedy gold personally :)

in nicer, less sarcastic words... "keep the discussion to good driving roads and touring journeys, and stay away from street racing and breaking the law". Guess I'm too used to people saying "spirited driving" to get around saying "speeding around".

route 412 north from wellington rd. then turn right on to some road starting with y, and come back down through mt dande tourist rd. dont speed as some bits get VERY bumpy and narrow and some are busy/residential. good drive though. just get a recent melways and have a look at any twisty bit u ccan see. then go drive them

I thought my post was comedy gold personally :P

so aggreed.. I had a good chuckle... I thought you were going to link to like a exotic rental place with maps or something...

I think the admins' humour on these forums is pretty decent actually... :D

- Rye - drive down the road that follows the coastline (can't remember the name) - also go to Arthur's seat.

Nepean Hwy. Not a good place for a modified car. Cops out in force and defecting regularly, particularly during the warmer months.

Some of the roads out the back of Healesville (not through the Black Spur, through the other side of Healesville) are awesome but they’re likely to make you a bit carsick. No straights, all corners.

i went to yai or yae ? or something cant remember was almost 4 hours in some mountain area at the end some tree fell we had to turn back but yea im down for cruising 100% 2 more weeks and ill come where eva

ye 2 more weeks for me to till the new car is in the driveway so just wanna go out for a nice long drive.

been to Yae and through melba h/w and ye that was an awesome drive.

thanks for some of those roads guys. had a look on google mps roads looks good.

has anyone been to the yooyangs?

Drive around them 3 times a week on the way to uni.... it's nothing special.

edit: especially with the amount of trucks on bacchus marsh-geelong road these days

Edited by Jack-

the only good thing about the yoo yangs is the straight prior to getting there and the car park once there :) , as for the walks, they are kinda cool, nice views but nothing even close to the workout at the 1000 steps... :)

    • You have the option to do this. Nobody but me ever did this (go slower, I mean) Everyone seems to fall victim to "This would be a great setup for you, but for me, I need a little more power..."
    • Save yourself the headache of an alarm. Immobilizer on the signal side of the main EFI relays so it won't start is good enough. DIY killswitch is the same thing except instead of a nice passive system you need to remember to switch it on and off.
    • Yeah, the advent of canbus was supposed to cut down on wiring weight, then some bright marketing wonk says "oh, look at all these wonderful tech gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some arsehole safety legislator says "oh, look at all the wonderful surveillance and tracking gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some dipshit young engineer who has grown up thinking that an extra 500000 lines of code is not a problem because storage is cheap these days says "oh look at all this wonderful shit I can do to one up those dipshit arsholes over at VW" and the Karens of the world all go "oh look at all these fancy things I can do on my screen (so long as I am not driving on a bumpy road wherein touch screens immediately become the single most stupid shit idea ever shoveled into a car) and my 19 zone airconditioning keeps my sweaty fat folds a bit less damp and the windows close themselves because I'm too fat and lazy to wind them up for myself and these reversing sensors would have been great if I'd paid attention to them instead of smashing them on the bollard while I was reversing and staring fixedly forward that day I went to pick up little Charlize from ballet" and the sweaty mongoloids who say "oh this wonderful collision avoidance technology with these 45 excellent radar antennae scattered across the front of my car mean I can tailgate like a methed up tradie at full speed with no fear because the car and the 35 airbags will protect me if it all goes wrong" ...... </shallistopranting?>
    • There's a post from a member (can't recall who), went down the path of a twin scroll G30-660 and it's doing over 300kW+ AND comes on about the same as a high flow RB25DET turbo. Have your cake and eat it too in this case. TBH, if I had a 2nd chance of building my car again (i.e. someone gave me what I wanted for my shit box, but the deal was I had to re-build another R33 and keep the change) I would just pop in a stock NEO motor (with new seals, rod bearings, ARP studs, head gasket, sump, Nitto pump), get a smaller twin scroll turbo, modify the stock low mount (keep the divider in place), and make a solid 300kW on 98RON and call it a day.
