Mundaring Weir road in Mundaring is pretty fun, lots of twists and turns, with some decent straights in there as well. Definitely not much traffic, only see a few other cars along there. Speed limits vary from about 50kms to 90kms (i think; it may be 80kms), with most of it being 70kms i think. Its not very fast, but its still quite a fun road. Would only recommend cruising there in the day though, lots of twists and wildlife

Hey man

You could always go through kalamunda but just go during the day as at night it may be a bit off a dangerous spot especially the zig zags unless your familiar with the roads and know the conditions, speed is pretty slow but for a scenic drive its perfect

Dan, could you PM me a map of some of those roads? They sound like fun!

Mundaring Weir Road, Greenmount Hill, Zig Zag Road, Brookton Hwy, Canning Rd, Armadale Rd. Went for a drive on some great roads Saturday night but I can't remember the names. I was following a black 32, so if their on here they might be able to tell me.

These sort of threads are on a whole bunch of forums, the police are 100% aware of the roads people like I can assure you.

Can confirm that.

I went up to zig zag one night to have a cruise... found that 4 patrol cars were covering both entrance and exit... Pulled us over quick smart :P

midland-toodyay-chittering-bullsbrook then back down to midland. Stay within you limits and don't break the law :P

Those roads are fantastic for a scenic drive....although when you go for a car cruise with a bunch of mates it can be hard to resist pressing your right foot on the accelerator a little harder :)

hay time to tidy up the topic

plz limit posts to good driving roads and and ur experiences on these roads (good, bad, etc)

no talking about cops plz all car enthusiasts get the same problems so no need to talk like ur somebody special

and in no way do i want this topic to give ppl the idea that it is alright to hoon.

it is just a search for fun places to drive within the law (dont drive like commodore driver :P)

worst thread ever.

Hey WAPOL! We skyline owners love these roads ***, ***, *** :D

mods need to delete thread

:P

I did consider this fact before posting in the thread. In reality, these roads did not just pop up over night, nor are they some national secret. The police regularly patrol these roads regardless of what is said here. If you are not breaking the law then you have nothing to worry about.

Good driving roads are only good when nobody else knows about them, so you'll never get a good response. You'll just get the typical hills/coast run that every man and his dog goes along. Most good roads are hours away... funnily enough where less people are! If you're not game enough to go out for a random drive heading in no particular direction to find yourself a good road, I guess you could use google maps and street view lol

i found one XD

and yes i did use google maps with the street view "big col". pretty sad i know (using google) but check out the street name LOL

omg! the zig zag! that hasnt been mentioned a million times already!

the zig zag was the lunch time proving ground when i was at high school. good fun when at the time i had a mx5 set up for motorkhana.

did this one today was pretty good nothing 2crazy but it has its moments

drivers side inner wheelwell shat itself :S long night 2night fixing (all the clips blew out when overtaking road train)

check out some of the stage maps for Targa West. They cover pretty much every suggestion on here, and them some (Lady McNess dve is my pick)

But yeah, my all time fav run is Kalmunda to Armadale. Canning rd to brookton hwy, brookton hwy to soldiers rd, follow it all the way to waterwheel rd and then out to the albany hwy. Not a huge run, but some of the best twisties you will find IMO.

Take music that sounds good LOUD

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
