If you mean 'Place' as in 'Destination', there is one 'Standout Place' for a Nissan man !!!

Try "Trackside, La Porchetta Restaurant" cnr Manns Rd and Gt Western Hwy on the left hand side as you come in from Sydney (from Old Pac Hwy)

The WHOLE DECOR is DEDICATED TO NISSAN !!!!!!!! Cars in inside are NISSAN incl. the R31 Touring Race Car, 1991 TOURING CAR CHAMP TROPHY WON MY NISSAN, MURALS OF Richards, Gibson, Skaife etc are ALL NISSAN. Even the Men's toilet have photos blown up of the start of '91 Bathurst are Nissan. Don't ask me what's in the Ladies' !!

Has anyone been there? It's owned by Terry Ashton - Committee Member of Touring Car A, and Touring Car C. He'll be pleased for you guys to go there!

If you mean 'Drive', I can only assume sections of tarmac that are relatively free of intersections, driveways and police cars hidden behind bushes and under rocks!

i) Macquarie Pass

ii) Old Pacific Hwy

iii) Jamberoo Pass Rd

iv) Kangaroo Valley Rd

v) Cambewarra Mtn Rd

vi) Hawkesbury Heights

Bells Line Of Road used to be #iii) but has been scrubbed for one of those reasons above...

Cheers, Terry

^^^ Oh I forgot! The restaurant is at Gosford!

And oh yeah, the food is good! Hot Stone stuff there is recommended!

Can one of the ladies tell us if there's Nissan paraphernalia in the ladies??

Shouldn't that be the corner of Manns Rd and Central Coast Highway, West Gosford, Terry? Pfft, 'sif own the place and not know where it is... :down:

Actually, I had dinner there tonight with a few fellow SAU members - and it was good. Next time I'm there I'll have to try the Hot Stone steaks...

Nick, I think it's a different Terry :D

Yes we had our SAU AGM there one year. Terry was a member of the club. I don't remember about the ladies toilets, sorry :down:

Sorry, half asleep when I wrote that post. At least my car knows where to go...

Hi M,

Thanks for feedback...

Yes, I'm a different Terry to the T.A. in Qld

My NSW Member application will be in this week.

And BTW I posted my views about 'Warn Rates' thread under 'Ideas/Feedback & Bugs' Section earlier this morning. Hope that defuses some heat!

Regards,

T

hahahaha, my bad... Maybe I should follow my own rule of "do not make assumptions!"

Oh well, no harm done, at least!

Favourite place in Sydney? Does 2 hours out of Sydney count? :D

It would have to be the drive up the Old Pac Hwy to the Hunter Valley with the top down and heated seats on :D Then when we arrive, head into the old rustic cottage that we've rented for the weekend, plonk the bags down, go out wine tasting for the afternoon... Come back to the cottage, get a nice fire going, cook a hearty roast dinner, drink a bottle or three of Hunter Shiraz, and then curl up in front of the roaring fire.

Bliss.

Or renting a similar rustic cottage in the Blue Mountains, waking up early going for a nice walk one of the countless bush trails just after sunrise in the crisp air :D

I thought it was Terry Ashwood :D

lol what did you guys think... that he likes talking about himself in the third person?? haha

I know quite a few people who like to do that, so why not?

WHAT? Alter-ego? Yeh why not?

Alter-ego Terry Ashwood drumming up business for himself eh?

Still a great place to go; getting back to the original thread. DON'T LOSE SIGHT OF THE THREAD!!!

Cheers,

Terry

1) My warm bed mmmmmmmmmm... bed.......

2) Blue Mountains. Either going for little cruise, or going for a bit of an adventure through the national parks. Lunch at Katoomba is nice too, just wear a scarf!

3) National Park cruise down to Stanwell Tops.

4) Back in my bed. Especially when it's cold outside :sleep:

*sleeps*

    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
