Nice stretch of road. The bunch of us that cruise up for the weekly Coastie cruise find the best place to start the Old Pac is from where the truckstop is in Berowra. Before that it's pretty much a mostly straight stretch of road...

thanks for the heads up

not going for a fang.....just gonna head up around 2ish and i wanted to see what all the hype was.

--edit--

just had a look at whereis....its looks very tight through mooney mooney

Watch for cops. Lots of them up there catching the guys on bikes.

Watch for bikes, not all of them doing 60.

Road is still closed at Calga so you miss the best bit up to Somersby and have to go back on the F3

yeah its the F3 or the old pac :rolleyes:

It does get very busy on weekends so you'll have no probs with blind corners or anything as stage 2 3 and 4 are all 60kms anyway.

stage 1 from berowra to the hawksbury river is 80kms.

Cops patrol it every weekend.

even at speeds like, 60km/h its hard...

Quoted for posterity.

Anyway, if you're going up on a Sunday just do at around the speed limit, and expect to not get a flowing drive. The road is always full of tourists on the weekend, and so its heavily patrolled. You'll also find a lot of cyclists during the day, so you'll go around some of those blind corners and find some spastics in spandex doing 20km/hr.

i remember one particular blind corner after a bridge that got me a little freaked out at night since I couldn't see shit and head lights were crap.....otherwise, its pretty flowy....left, right, left, right mmmmmmmmm.

Yeah I wouldnt say scary, Id say weekends are just too busy.

As Scathing said, its the push bike riders that you mainly need to watch for.

Best to go mid week for a nice drive with less traffic

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
