we struggled keeping together us 5 zres on monday.. wonder how we'll go with 10+ mixed toyotas

We decided that the start position should be at the bottom of the mountain, Burwood Hwy entrance. Going onto Mount Dandenong Tourist Road from Burwood Hwy, there is an entrance to a carpark immediately on the left. We can meet there.

1299 Burwood Hwy, Upper Ferntree Gully, VIC, Australia

From there, we have a few options:

1. Drive to SkyHigh and eat, chat, pics etc (26 Observatory Road , Mount Dandenong)

2. Drive to a BBQ area, can either bring food, or everyone chip in for sausages & bread (simple). Chat and pics as well (Tysons Trk, Ferny Creek, VIC, Australia)

3. Eat somewhere else.

4. Extend cruising to another location somewhat nearby.

All locations have decent parking and as I recall, SkyHigh has enough parking but have to confirm (Kenshin?! :D)! If you want to see any of these locations, just copy and paste them into Google Maps.

Peter.

Looks good Pete - lots of eating in there heheheh So SkyHigh would be the initial lunch stop then??

Also I think I've discovered the meeting point you're talking about, it's up a ways once you start on Mount Dandenong Tourist Rd, turn off left and there is lots of angle parking. That the one you mean? Just checking out Google's satellite imagery/street view to try and orientate myself a bit before going ;)

Well given there are obviously going to be many cars on the road we'll just have to do as best we can and communicate the stops with each other early - UHF radios would definitely be a big plus for each car if possible too :) It's definitely going to be more of a leisure cruise (with some fun bits hehehe) at any rate to account for all the traffic no doubt, although hopefully we'll get a great run! I'm sure we will :D

there is a lot of parking at skyhigh. whether or not you get the parking that has the view is a diferent story.

Can get quite busy there. Worst comes to worst, there is heaps of parking arund the back. Oh and skyhigh food is

really expensive :( Should be a great day anyhow. Hopefully the weather holds up for us :D

If we go to SkyHigh for lunch, you westsiders might have to leave a bit earlier. Avoids what happened on Monday, 3pm lunch :P and chance for people that get lost etc. Also, since it will be a big group of us, I'm pretty sure we need to book asap! :)

Yep, looks like another recon run is required. Will take some photos and then you guys can decide!! :lol:

So far, SkyHigh looks like a definite! :D

It's good to note that, Walkie Talkies are the best way of communication. Phones tend to have no reception in some areas (thanks Tash for the memory trigger).

I say we all meet in diamond creek again. Half way point for those on the west side. Cruise up to kinglake again then back down through yarra glen and out to dandenongs from there. That way we can have a bit of a drive before lunch and get to skyhigh around 1ish anyways. It takes like 15mins to get to skyhigh from thousand steps (the original start/meet).

Have a meet time around 930-10 and depart at around 1030. Lunch at skyhigh and then head off to maybe emerald lake park and go from there....

What are others thoughts on this??

Well how about we make Diamond Creek the ending point?? Johnnie etc have done a lot of work to put together the first post and a starting point, but the ending of the cruise wasn't quite finalised. I think going back out via Yarra Glen could be a good ending to it all :) And then it's an easy place for all of us to depart from. Works for me anyway as it points me closer to the Calder hahahahah Plus I'm happy with the current start time/location cos it gives me the opportunity to go and pick up the tail lights and then meet up with you all. Not that it's all about me but given I don't get down to Melb very often at all I need to fit that pick up in as well (I will be staying in Melb [Airport West] the night before so I can make this - going to be a long drive home for me afterwards so didn't want to do that as well in the morning to get down there)

I think this month it's more about catching up and taking some photos, rather than actually driving around, but I do get what you're saying :) I reckon you should map out a big drive for the next one heheheh

Just my thoughts on that :) Lol and 30 cars?? That would be an incredible achievement - I reckon if we do get the 18 that are listed it will be awesome, given we have struggled for numbers a bit in the past. Really really happy that we are getting together on a relatively regular basis :clap:

Edit: I just read through your first post again Johnnie - you guys might need to be up and about earlier, wouldn't you want to be at the foot of the mountain to meet by midday? Unless I read that wrong but it sounded like you guys weren't leaving Sunshine until 12:30.

yeah fair call tash! Just thought it might be good for the west siders. I might try and work a map for the next one if you want it to be over this side of the city.

Have we got a meet up and depart time organised yet?

Did you still want to go through kinglake on the way to diamond creek or just cut across from yarra glen?

Cheers - sorry I didn't mean for that post to sound kinda rude if it did. But yeah it would make sense given most are on the west side, although could be good to change it up, make some of the others travel a little ways for a change hahahahah If you've got ideas for the next one start planning :D I'm keen to see any/all of Melbourne!

I don't think a meet-up and depart time is set yet, if the idea is to have lunch at Sky High (although some mentioned that might be too exy) then you'd want to meet-up at the car park that was suggested around 11/11:30 and depart around 12. I don't know any of the area but then I'm guessing you'd go with the idea of trying to park up there with the view and grab some snaps and then eat *shrugs* In the first post it was mentioned that most of the ZRE boys were going to meet-up for a car wash beforehand, and get to the mountain some time around lunch, but no real time was locked in...

Reckon we could go through Kinglake again, it's really quite a nice drive :D

Yeah i think.. another recon cruise is needed.. i mite meet up with pete one day and check things out and make a final decision and hope everyones cool with it. We could meet up say 11.30.. depart at 12.. drive up to skyhigh.. eat lunch and go somewhere for a nice cruise/drive.. because the dandenong mountain run will be too short and way too busy.. and i would like to have a nice open road that we can fill up on. But yeah.. we'll make that the meet point and departing point. End point to be decided still, im not fussed. can be wherever. let you guys know..

Cool as, thanks for doing all the running around for this - and kudos for getting the ball rolling on another meet :) I like the idea of meeting up around 11/11:30 at the foot of the mountain, and then going up there for lunch and some photos, and then have a bit of spirited driving in the afternoon. Looking at the map potentially we could return via Yarra Glen and Kinglake as James suggested, or go in the other direction for a ways and then do a freeway run back in. Will leave it in your capable hands! :)

Lol well it's a fair hike for me - lovely drive though and could work down the track, although I'd probably look at taking a day off work if we were to do it on a Sunday.

Heheh I'm still working on that one Johnnie, am stoked that you guys would like to come this way :) I'm thinking areas like Castlemaine/Maryborough/Daysleford but not too sure. The other idea Nathan and I have had is Mt Macedon so we'll try to do a run around there sometime in future. It's a pity North East Victoria is too far away because there's some really beautiful countryside up there - think Bright, Myrtleford, Chiltern etc But way too far to go for a day trip.

Most ppl bringing their partners? My missus doesnt like loud noises, thus the Varex butterfly valve would remain closed :(

Is Sunshine still the meeting place or has it been changed to Diamond Creek as Tash noted?

Meeting up around at the bottom of the mountain at 11.30am-12pm sounds good.

An important note is that to eat at SkyHigh, we should book soon! So in that sense, for those people who are watching this thread and have not decided/put their name down, please do so ASAP! :)

About cruising to Diamond Creek via Kinglake, it will about 1hr 40mins - 2hrs from SkyHigh. I have no problem with this! Sounds good! :D I will probably leave from Mount Dandenong, as I got heaps of uni work to do.. <_<

Tash, keep working on that route! I'm sure the majority of us would not mind a drive up that way! :clap:

2nd recon run is still going ahead on this Sunday.

I don't think you would need to bring E-tags for the cruise, unless you want a faster trip home afterwards! :P

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.
