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.

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
