great road.. just have to have respect for it... i use to do midnight runs on friday and saturday nights....

Simple rule... fast in the corners and slow on the straights

But only do this once u get to know the road well.. keep an eye out for the corner speed signs.. u wont want to add more than 5km/h on to them

Great rd.. have fun on it

Slow in the straights is politically correct generic advice. Well, adding 5km/hr to the signposted corner speed suggestions will still keep you under the speed limit so its also acceptable.

As for whether 5km/hr over the corner signpost speeds actually constitutes "fast" or not, I'll leave unanswered.

So why post?

Just so everyone is clear. Yes it's a windy road and no, we do not condone doing anything on it other than driving sensibly at or below the speed limit.

lol i was waiting for a SAU disclaimer.

its a nice drive. No where near as nice as macquarie pass.

I think thats one of things I look forward to when I goto mates places in Bathurst/Mudgee - Bells Line!!!

Apparantly theres a mad country road from Lithgow to Bathurst which takes alot longer than the GWH - I know JETR23, DJ Brave, mznismo, Sam916 couldnt stop raving about it when they came up and saw us race at Bathurst!

the road to Tarana, S%^t yeah!!! most awesome road, we need Wayne as a tour guide, its a beautiful flowing drive through the country with some nice open sweeping corners where you can see miles ahead and the od nice twisty one aswell :blink:. I vote for another roadtrip there sometime when I'm back over here visiting from WA. :D

oh...and you wont find it that easily looking on a map, you really need somone who knows the area, i don't even know if the roads are mapped.

So is the natio run from syd to the gong...

Not if your car is low.

My car's at factory height and I bottom out repeatedly. Its worse north of the Waterfall entrance, but even in that bottom section through the trees there are a few spots I'll spark out.

That said, I took the girlfriend's MX5 through the entire run and it was great.

    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
