Yeah like mentioned closed where hole in the road is... i used this arvo to get home from erina and i get on f3 at gosford and get off at the first exit can't remember what its called but its the one straight after you up the huge hill lol.

But lots of pol pol patrolling it now, even during the week i've seen a few... today was nuts sore like 3 cop motorcycles and 2 hwy patrol - spose with the f3 being a stand still they had nothing better to do.

I still think they should turn it into a one way touge course and charge a fee per run. I'd pay $10 a run to belt up the Old Pac at full steam! ;)

If only......

The locals would bitch and moan if you did that, even if you cut them in on the fee. They were probably the biggest force behind getting Race to the Pie cancelled, even though there's no houses on that hillclimb between Mooney and Pie in the Sky.

Yep they like to bitch, my dad rides the ol pac on his bike all the time and last school hols (hes a TAFE teacher) he got pulled over 5 times in 3 days for random "rbts" - the locals apparantly don't like the noise of bikes too early in the morning ;) .... although late Monday & Tuesday nights is good for a clear run.... not speeding of course :)

Seems much easier these days to do Spencer and wisemans rd :D

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
