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

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
