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:

    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
