They have fixed up parts of the road (where the little bridge hairpins are) since the last cruise.

Also it might be worth giving the Heritage Centre a call and see if they have the draught horses available or even whip cracking, they are less than a km past the tearooms on the left.

Pity that pretty much all the roads beyond the tearooms area are dirt roads because there are some wicked long twisty roads that roll through the hills (especially on the western side) the furthest i've been out there is 9km from the tearooms for a delivery in my van and the views on that side of Megalong Valley are amazing (Lithgow area).

There are also a few twisties on the way through Leura and leading into Echo Point. It's a cool little detour before we hit Megalong Valley. I'll look into it so i can remember the street names. It goes through the Leura Cascades, anyone know WTF i'm talking about?

Cliff Drive.

It starts at the bottom of 'Leura Mall' and runs along the cliff face down past the '3 Sisters' then continues on past 'Skyways' and joins onto 'Narrowneck Rd' which basically joins up to the Highway again. Thr whole 'detour' is probably about 3-4km worth and on a weekend is very busy with tourist buses.

The only problem with that is their are plenty of little spots to stop to take photo's but only enough room for 1 or 2 cars.

Gawd you can tell i've been a courier in the area for 4yrs lol.

Looking forward to seeing you there cuz. P6 carpark. But if its closed cause of the easter show, then we'll go to the same car park as last time (30 metres away, in case its closed).

"MEETING (2): Caltex Truck Stop, Eastern Creek, On the M4 (westbound) - next door to the maccas."

By the way - Would anyone have any GPS coordinates for the above location by any slim, miraculous, incredible chance?

Or - I'll be coming from Kiama & I don't know Sydney well at all so any alternatives/suggestions welcome :nyaanyaa:

P6 is easy. Directions are: Take Homebush Bay Drive northbound, turn left on Australia Ave (just after M4) and after the first set of lights keep your eyes out for a large parking lot (pretty big) on your right about 2-300 metres up.

I'm pretty sure it's P6f

This is easy too :) . On the M4 westbound you'll pass the Reservoir Rd exit and see the large 'twin' servo's (Caltex) on both sides of the motorway . Exit into the servo and you'll see a Maccers and KFC and all the Skylines will be at the truckstop behind the fast food places. It'll one large complex so you can't miss it.

Hope that helps mate. Sorry for doing your head in :D

In all honesty the 'truck stop' isn't a good idea as it's generally busy with you guessed it - trucks. The Red Rooster (no kfc) is pretty much entirely empty 24/7 and is a much better parking lot to meet at.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
