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

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
