Yo,

Headed up to Entrance soon and wanted to know if anyone knew of any good scenic cruising routes going up that way. The more bends the better... and also the less bicycle bikers the better (ie Old Pacific - awesome route - but too many bicylces in the way)...

Cheers,

Mike

Old Pac is still tops > it depends on what time you do it!

I don't know what suburb you're heading from, but whilst you're after a scenic route, consider this loop...

Bobbin Head N.P. > Old Pacific Hwy > Kariong > Foresters Beach > Terrigal > The Entrance > Nora Head > Gorokan > Wyong > Mangrove Mountain > Spencer > Wisemans Ferry (which will be OK with your front lip) > Dural > Galston Gorge > Hornsby :)

You can do the above in reverse order; and if you do, I'd stop at the Trackside Restaurant West Gosford (a virtual Nissan restaurant) for lunch/afternoon tea/dinner.

Tons of twists in that!!!!!! Take all day with a nice long lunch.

Hahaaa...

Mike's not in a GT-R. :down:

He'll romp it home; 'er so long as he fills up before he starts!

...on 2nd thought... where does he live???

But I would like one... You guys offering?? hehe

We'll be taking off from Milsons Point. I just Google Mapped your route. It will be just over a 5 hour cruise for all the checkpoints. So I will just make it home on one tank.

:thumbsup: Andrew, Im still trying to convince my mates to go through this route, but we're going for a Birthday so come cars will be fully loaded. But will definately let you know if we go through it.

Terry, already considered it mate and would have loved to go. But after my Wedding in August then honeymooning in Malaysia & then organising Track Day in September, my CAR-STUFF-4FUN-FUND funds are almost zero. Just got enough in there for petrol for a cruise or two.

Scrimp those two cruises together, as that's what, 2 tanks of fuel?

Use one tank of fuel (Or a touch less) to get to Trackside with us, $45 for a non member dinner, and you cruise home.

You get to come, and you've scrimped those two cruises together into one AWESOME night with Jim Richards.

What would you rather, two cruises, or one cruise and dinner with Jim Richards?

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
