If you do it Friday night how about Kinglake -> Healsville -> ?

Did a cruise with a mate today, took badgercreek rd from Kinglake to Healsville then went about half way up the black spur. Plenty of twisties and 80-100Km speed limit through most of it, was wicked fun.

Can't make the meet if it's this Friday but if it's next week, then I should be in ;)

ok dandy nissan just told me im booked in the 19th. so im out till then fellas!

we should do something on a sunday, have a meet up then a cruise down to a go kart track or some stuff. have a bit of a legal race!

Aight guys change of plans

When:14/09/2012 [next friday night]

Meeting place: Kings Complex Entertainment [ 366 Boundary Road Dingley Village VIC 3172 ]

Time: 10:00pm for a 10:30 departure

Destination: Great Ocean Road or Philip Island

choose which one you guys want and majority wins :]

LOL

Have you done the maths on this at all?

Torquay is the start of the GOR.

Lorne would be the destination.

Dingley Village -> Torquay = 1h45m

Torquay -> Lorne = 45m

Lorne -> Torquay = 45m

Torquay -> Dingley Village = 1h45m

Departure time: 10:30pm

Return time: 3:30am

Actual Return Time: Daylight and the rest of your weekend is gone.

Even if you've got a perfect run of traffic: Congratulations! You've got a very late, very boring cruise with no scenery because its dark. If you want hills, there are heaps on this side of the city.

And Phillip Island, why? Its boring highway down the M1 and M420. Then you get there and see nothing. Phillip Island is a daytime cruise destination, with beaches and shops.

I could go on, but at this point even my fingers don't want to type anymore in response to this cruise.

good point

that's one of the reasons I had originally set it up for friday during the day but like what you said:

"Horrible cruise is Horrible."

lol @ 10:30am Friday, most people work you know ;)

so neither of those times suits you....there's not much I can really do about it then

places like Healsville, Kingslake,arthurs seat, mt dandenong, and mt donna buang are the very popular ones for cruises.

just wanting something different plain and simple

otherwise you guys can suggest where to go

    • Another question sorry, what stainless do u use in the turbo external WG plumb back piping? Is it 321, 316 or 304?
    • Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
