well just a heads up to all... I went for a Nebo cruise last Saturday night with 2 other mates cars around 9-10pm. So for those who aren't familiar or driven at night on this route please take it easy as one little mistake could mean a total...

There maybe the odd 1 or 2 cars passing... so that's another thing to watch out for too.

But I know we will all behave and drive in a orderly manner... but yes the odd squirt is fun too :D... but yeah you got my drift. But I definitely will be at the back of the pack that's for sure ;) because I don't like being followed :P

Yeah. Cruising Nebo at night sure is fun. It's not a bad drive actually. I was surprised when I first travelled it that the speed limit was mostly 80km/h which is quite thrilling for most people giving the width of the road (though you can usually go higher, I don't condone that behaviour :ph34r:). If you're not familiar with it though just remember; you need to slow down on the parts where one lane is at a different height to others. Not much room for error there.

Well I for one won't be driving like a crazy person. I'm currently on g/b for 12mths so I can't afford to make any mistakes in that department.

I also LOVE my car and my life... lol So yeah I'll be taking it easy. Those who wish to drive any differently may choose to do so at your own risk and responsibility.

I'm going to be bringing my camera out for the night too so if there happens to be some good lighting and I can take some pics I thought I'd let everyone know now so your aware. ;)

When you are riding on pimp-spec suspension like i am (ie. my springs are VERY) soft, Its pretty hard to go much more than 80kph up nebo anyway....

As nate said, we don't need anyone trying to be a hero and ending up somewhere down the side of the mountain

Yes, don't worry. I have a TRD Aurion but I seriously drive like a grandpa. As long as it's a Toyota, it's good! Anyway, as everyone said, we should not risk our lives over a few seconds of fun. And on Mt Nebo, once you go off the road, it can be a LOOOOOOOONG way down........

Boys I have just driven some mountain roads here in Queenstown that make Nebo look like a mound. I'm talking a 1500ft drop off the side if you get it wrong. Just fanged it down the mountain from Coronet Peak snow fields in a V6 auto Kia Carnival!! Even in that POS it was awesome. Kept getting distracted by the awesome views!! Car handles like crap but put it in manual mode and have some fun LOL

North you would absolutely love these roads. They are friggen awesome!!!!

Two weeks to go... ;) Can't wait. I've never driven Nebo beofre so I'm really looking forward to it. Although I'll be taking it somewhat easy. Unless between now and then I do a test run. Otherwise you all might need to wait for me at the top... lol

      New member seeking advice for parts

      Hi guys! I'm Alberto, I just finished importing a HZJ73 from Japan and I love it! The car came without spare wheel holder and it seems discounted so I don't know what do to. Someone knows where I can find it or what else works as replacement? I don't mind if is not oem part as far as it works 😅 I'm based in Brisbane if it makes some kind of difference Pictures attached as reference

      Can I put a 2010 bumper on my 2008 Camry ?

      I have a 2008 Camry altise and recently damaged the front bumper and i'm wondering if I can fit a 2010 sportivo bumper on to replace it. It looks like it fits I know I will need to get new headlights for it to fit but do I need to do any modifications or will all the plastic clips and screws line up ?

      Anyone else tried these seat covers ?

      these seat covers look pretty good, but I've had bad experience when trying to fit some cheaper ones I bought online - they say custom fit, anyone else tried them ? Would love to know before I buy them, thanks all https://mycustomcar.com.au/

      am2 fuse blowing

      Hello, i have a 1996 starlet The problem is when i turn the key the fuse blows, and i have been looking over the wiring and can’t find any shorts or damaged wire. The car would not crank over because of the fise blowing. I found out that if i disconnect the transponder key ecu the fuse is holding, but as soon as i connect the transponder the fuse blows. So i wonder if there is something I can try out? should i just buy a new transponder box or is it something else i could try? and is it not kinda wierd that the box is the problem? I have looked inside the box and cant see any corrosion in the box

      Toyota Celica '96 5S-FE no spark

      Hi everyone, I have spent too much time on my Celica and even my mechanic is stumped at figuring out the issue so any tips will be appreciated. Here is what has been done, immobiliser disbabled, distributor replaced, igniter replaced, EFI relay replaced, and EFI 15AMP fuse is not blown. I tried jumping E1 and TE1 in the diagnostic port to try and get a code from the CEL but it doesn't light up, I think it might be burned out so I will have to get on that. I am now clueless about what to do next, it could be the ECU but I can't find any pointers too that.
