XrSiSt,

How could you not know... this is blasfemic. You will have to come and be educated!

The Putty Road goes from Windsor to Cessnock, it is about 3-4 (I think) hours of loverly winding 100km/h speed limit road that undulates all the way.

It would probably have to be my favorite bit of tarmack.

Bells line of road also leaves from the Windsor area (Richmond actually) but it heads out to Lithgow.

****, I think I will have to move to Richmond/Windsor area... they have all these awesome roads leading in and out of there!!!

Just move to Parramatta. Drive to Winsdor, the cars warm...blast along the Bells Line, my dream Sunday Afternoon!

Last time I went I had some fun with a brand new Triumph Motorbike, awsome to see a bike about 4 feet off your rear end at high speed...

Funny, I let him pass me, he pulled alongside me and had a look in the window with a massive grin on his face, gave me the thumbs up and took off.....then I realised that was done close to 140!!! LOL

Must find this Putty Road thou....How do you rate it compared to Bells.....?

Bells I give a 7 out of ten, Old Pacific Highway I would give a 9/10 and Putty I would give a 15/10.

It will take a full day of driving to go up and back, but if your gonna go then PLEASE let me know.

Last time I travelled along it I was able to catch up to only about four vehicles in the whole trip. My average speed would probably have been 100kph (including the 60kph sections, very very tight), but I was watching the up coming corners etc. Depending how much risk you want to take depends on how "reckless" you can be... it needs to be remembered that this is a public road.

does it have similar use to that of old road or to that of stanwell?

errr, common sense would suggest not to be reckless AT ALL :confused:

Let's not let this thread go the way of the team Evade/OPH thread. :uh-huh:

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
