Cruise Route: Bells Line of Road

MOUNTAIN HIGH

Meeting place: pm any club member for details :D

Meeting time: 24 APRIL, 10:00 for a 11:00 SHARP departure

We will cruise from the start at 11:00 sharp and head to Mt Victoria for lunch at The Imperial Hotel (approx 1.5 hours drive) where we will stop and feed our faces, talk about stuff and things and socialise.

Bells Line of Road is situated within the magnificent Blue Mountains, approximately one hour drive north of Sydney. Bells Line of Road took its name from Archibald Bell Junior, the explorer who at the age of just nineteen years crossed what was to become one of the most scenic routes across the Blue Mountains.(Thanks Archie)

Maps will be provided with the route, we will also conduct a short halt(10 min) about 17 klm from the starting point at the BP servo on the Bells Line so as to keep everyone together.

Ill see you all there with bells on.

Then if anyone is interested they can head to catalina for a walk around a classic old race track which went the way Oran Park did before heading home. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalina_Park

Don't forget to be fueled up :)

Just in case anybody that thinks that Monday is not a public holiday like I did have a look at this...

Very tempted now to go on this.

SiNNO has made his acquaintance with me and wishes to come along and become a new NSW Member on the day ;)

It's his first cruise > be gentle :D

Thanks Terry- Sinno made it there and home in 1 piece and is now a club member :) was an unusual first cruise since it included a 20 min walk in the rain lol.

Hopefully everyone enjoyed the day :)

hi, Would you be planning another of these days again?

Duncan, I'm keen as well

How many cars were there? I take it nobody took some pics?

I think in total we had around 6 or 7 of us take a nice scenic cruise up the mountains, and a casual stroll around Catalina...

I was actually talking to my step father after coming back from this trip... He used to "race" around it...

Marko, I don't believe I saw a single camera all day.

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
