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.

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?

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.

      I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things

      I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt

      So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.

      Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
