Decided to go for a 3 week cruise from S.A through coastal Victoria past (mornington pennisula)

along Batemans bay all the way to along the NSW coast to Sydney !!!!

What are the best towns and accomodation to visit along the way and stay at !!!!!

we will be hiring cabins or staying at hotels 2 or 3 days at a time thumbsup.gif Thanks

Pt Campbell is small but has a lot of tourist stuff around like the 12 Apostles, Loch Arch gorge and similar. You could easily spend a full day along there, although rug up. It'll be getting to filthy weather time about now down that area and it can get very cold.

If not 1hr further from Pt Campbell (from SA) is Apollo Bay - a bit bigger with some other cool stuff to checkout like the "tree walk" thing, Apollo Bay pier, Mariners lookout etc. Also some ok places to eat (Chris's light house restaurant in Skenes Creek is apparently very good).

You goin to Queenscliff and getting the Ferry across?

Apollo Bay on the great ocean road will be worth the visit also the ferry could be the good as ive never been down that way before , have you been to inverloch , sale or bairnsdale before ?

is it worth visiting as well ?

Thanks

You'll go past the main tourist type sights if you go to Apollo Bay, hence suggestion Pt Campbell. Although it's not a "far" trek backwards if you are in Apollo Bay for 2-3 days. Plenty of cheap accomm this time of year although there is the Apollo Bay music festival - you'll have to check when thats on as i think its around this time of year. You'll wanna avoid that.

Bairnsdale is a smaller country style town. I'd recommend stopping in Lakes Entrance as the better choice there. Its much bigger.

Once you get into NSW I know from Nowra north;

Kangaroo valley

Macquarie Pass (do NOT miss this one)

Bulli pass (go uphill, without traffic...)

Seacliff bridge (you'll recognise it from car ads, awesome pub on a cliff at one end)

Royal National park

All that is one after the other eg the roads lead to each other. If you like, pm me and I'll send maps down when I've got a chance

Then the next day there's bells line of road, Victoria pass (only decent with no one else around), putty rd, old pac, wisemans ferry, galston gorge

You can do all that in one day but it's an effort, take two days to do those ones so that's 3 days of solid corners around sydney :)

how one can contain themselves when driving mt panorama.......... :D

skip Chris' at skene's creek, over-priced and nothing special - will not be going back in a hurry. Poor service too for the prices they were charging

    • 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.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
