Join the SAU Victoria team for a social cruise through the Sherbrook Forest.
Initial meeting point will be Upway IGA carpark.
The cruise will head through Belgrave and on to Gembrook via the spectacular Sherbrook Forest.

Where: IGA Upwey, 62-64 Main St, Upwey VIC 3158
Map: https://goo.gl/maps/17R6emXMEuT71ACo7

When: 8:30am Sunday 29th November

Please keep in mind this is an SAU event. To participate you will need to be an existing SAU member or, sign up on the day for 24 hours for a gold coin donation. This is due to our CAMS affiliation.

I will also take this opportunity to remind everyone, this isn't a race, it's not a rally, it's a cruise, at or below the speed limit.
All details will be passed onto relevant authorities if requested.

Hi all,

I have made a slight boo boo on this one. We (I) have misinterpreted the Covid-19 details and we are not able to run the event on the 22nd. We are now running it on the 29th of November instead. Apologies for the confusion.

But um, the lockdown late was *last* weekend (the 14-15th!)

In any case, this road actually gets better/worth driving on from Gembrook through to Launching Place, then through the Reefton Spur or Mt Donna Buang.

C'mon, get amungst it!

Ok, so to explain; honestly, i have no idea what we can or cannot do in terms of the lockdown. It's been killing me, i feel like the rules are changing every day. So we are just doing this to be 100% sure we don't cop a giant fine. 
Regarding the actual route, you're right, it does get better further on, but I wanted to keep this one small/short as it's my first event that i'm running.
Providing this one goes right, there'll be much bigger, and longer social cruises coming up. :)

    • You all are absolute legends! Thank you for helping me put this into context with your comparisons!
    • There's probably an underlying issue with the A/C system too. I recently fixed mine, now it's fully control by the Haltech and car's factory HVAC controller  Have a squiz here:    
    • And by the way, I've also checked the ECU diagnostic numerous times and got a bad O2 sensor code and initially an Ignition Primary code, which is why I replaced the O2 sensor and all the ignition components (coil packa, plug and loom). No codes have been coming up lately despite the ongoing issue.
    • Hey pber13, unfortunately still no luck. At this point the following has been done with little or no success: - Spark plugs replaced, gapped to 0.8mm - Splitfire coilpacks installed to replace originals - Replaced Ignition Coil/Coilpack harness with a new genuine nissan one - New fuel filter - Replaced AFM/MAF sensor - Injectors have been thoroughly cleaned with an online flush (without removing) - Upper engine and inlet decarbed - blew tons of black smoke out, cleared the carbon deposits from the top of the engine and exhaust.  - IACV removed and thoroughly cleaned with carburettor cleaner - O2 sensor replaced with new and genuine one -  Smoke test revealed no vacuum leaks - Healthy compression test of 160psi across all 6 cylinders Overall the car does run a lot smoother now, no backfires between gear shifts like it did originally... but the rough idle when warmed up is still there. It may not even be a misfire but simply a rough idle. Seems crazy to me that so many people have had this issue and seemingly no one has gotten to the bottom of it, or at least never bothered to post if they did! Hope you have more luck than I did pber13, I'm at a point now where I'm just going to try to ignore it unless it gets worse. Would love to fix it but I've genuinely run out of ideas of what it could be.
    • I got the full frenchys kit too. Really awesome kit. Easy to install my only complaint was the hardlines I think could be routed differently (I modified mine) but I realise the kit needs to suit multiple applications. This was the hard lines before I modified them. They were touching the wastegate pipe. I ended up reducing the distance between firewall and first bend. The made it so they tucked along the frame rail.
