As above, cruise down the great ocean road 14th august.

All right heres the layout.

I'll have a few grouping points along the way so if your late you have time to catch up and for the people comming from differant locations can meet up.

1) Meet in Abbotsford 7:30 - 8:00. Ref 49E3. 126 Trenerry cres. olive green building last on your right befor corner if comming from Johnston st. opposite maugie st. front carpark. Depart at 8:00 am sharp. As in map 1.

1 B) Right into Johnston st,

Left into Hoddle,

Right into wellinton pde. Turns into Flinders st. Continue over Spencer,

turns into wurundjeri way. as in map 2.

Right on to the West gate fwy.

2) Gather point 1 at the BP service station in Lara.

Arrive 8:40am.Travel time from Abbotsford sholud be 35 - 40 mins. Leave at 8:50.

As you come down the freeway theres a sign that says "pt wilson restricted area" its a few k's past that sign. It's a k or 2 before the avalon airpot turn off.

As in map 3.

2 B) Along princess fwy into Geelong. Onto the surf coast hwy

as in map 4.

3) Gather point 2 at the Torquay golf club car park.

As you go through Torquay, past the surf shops (on right, eg. Ripcurl etc..) You come to the main round-a-bout. This is were the Surf coast hwy turns into the Great ocean rd. After going around to the right, take first left and thats the toquay golf club carpark. As in map 5.

By now every one who is on the cruise can get together have a chat and we can organise where we want to stop for lunch etc...

Head to Apollo bay!

I haven't been to Apollo bay in years so I don't know where a good spot to pull over is (as yet), so I guess the first big open space we see.

Map 6.

Take some photos, fark around a bit then come back up through the colac/princess hwy to Geelong then to Melbourne

As per usuall, start with a full tank of juice.

And if you are seriuosly interested in comming, don't have a big night on this piss saturday night. Sounds pretty self explanatory but I my self fell victim to it saturday just passed, was meant to go down with a few mates on sunday.

is this an official cruise or invent your own?

hahah if we r heading down to apollo bay we can pretty much go to Adelaide :rolleyes: jk, how far is adelaide from apollo bay and wats left of the 12 apostles is at Apollo bay right?

gonna nead a crap load of fuel for this trip if ur coming from SE suburbs

yep, lets go to adelaide, what the f_ck we going to do there mate? lol

We can just go to lorne, I dont think it would be such a bad idea. We can see on the day.

The 12 apostles are actualy near port cambell. looking on a map I would guess that they are about 1 hour from apollo bay

Someone doesn't drive much :lol:

Apollo Bay is only about 1/6th of the coastal route to Adelaide. You are much better off going through Ballarat, for the shortest drive to Adelaide, let us know when you get back :cheers:

    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
