This is a full day of driving and well worth it (from Sydney). Just to recap... * Up Macquarie Pass (from Albion Park) to the pie shop * Down Jamberoo Mtn Road (from the pie shop) to Kiama and then

Warners Bay (10 mins south of Newcastle) would be an AWESOME spot for a cruise and lunch :D

I would probably head up the Freeway to the Tuggerah exit and then drive across the The Entrance to stop for say 30 mins or so to relax and refresh, then head up the coast road to the Pacific Highway towards Newcastle. Then turn left at Warners Bay Road and at the end of that take a right onto The Esplanade and park along the water there and grab some lunch ;) great spot and I'd love to do it in summer

The road to jenolan caves is awesome for the first part, then its becomes not much more than a lane as u head into the valley. Good day drive from sydney.

The best road I have driven is from Cairns to Port Douglas. Its right on the coast, apparently it has the highest amount of turns per kilometer in Australia.

alpine way thru to khancoban, then back up thru cabramurra, then down the hill to tumbarumba or talbingo.

great windy roads & some interesting things to see (highest mountain in Oz, highest town in Oz, the snowy scheme, etc).

Gotta say that Warners Bay one souns tops.

I'd love to do Old Pacific Highway to Calga, then Peats Ridge Road all the way to Broke and Wollombi (stop in for some Dr Jurd's Jungle Juice), down to Cessnock (stop in for some wine tasting) and off to Newcastle foreskin, erm, foreshore (drinks at the brewery?).

Otherwise you could do an overnight cruise from Syd, up Old Pacific Highway, Peats Ridge Road, Bucket's Way, Oxley Highway to Port Macquarie.

max, i think you are generalising when u say that ppl in the gong are pricks. sure there are some here, but that is the same for every place.if u want to criuse here i would love it as i would like to meet and talk to other skyline owners and get hints and so on about them as to improve mine. so plz feel free to come down for a cruise and lunch or whatever and u will find that a lot of ppl will give u a warm welcome. unfortunately a few bad apples have given us a bad name and hopefully u dont meet any. but cops usually on d prowl due to these bad eggs. just trying to say dont generalise and it would be great for u's to cruise down again as wollongong has really deteriorated lately due to some idiots being exactly that..

Sonic I like the way you think mate. Wollombi-Peats Ridge would've been great fun except:

1. My wife was in the car as well. :throwup:

2. We came across a motorcycle rider who'd met his maker.

As far as cruises go I really wouldn't know-I'm more interested in "runs". I don't mind the Nasho but I think Macquarie Pass is the king as long as you can avoid people towing caravans. The run down to Garie Beach is fun though-just ask Fatz!

I've done some absolute crackers away from Sydney. The run from Casino to Tenterfield seemed like about 60 km of 25-45km/h corners. No traffic AT ALL and an absolute blast. Don't break down though 'cos you'll be stuck in the middle of Deliverance. Be very worried if some guy asks you who his daddy is!

The run from Lithgow-Sodwalls-Tarana-O'Connell is great fun but if you feel like stepping it up a notch the dirt road from Perthville to Dunkeld via Evans Plains is an absolute cracker. Hen & Chicken Lane is a part of this and it forms part of the NSW state rally series if I'm not mistaken. Great fun.

Cheers,

Ben

BTW The 'gong is surrounded by the highest concentration of great driver's roads IMHO. Living in the 'gong is a treat! Pissed off I had to move. :)

Old Pac is a favourite. I find that the run back into Syd is alot better than the way up to Gosford. Personal preference I guess.

Mccars creek road is another great road just bottom out a fiar bit

I like the Natio I prefer Wollongong to syd rather than heading to the gong.

But my Fav has to be Catti road from Old Pit Town to Wisemans then oout to Wollimbi.

Kangaroo valley route via Nowra rd is an impressive piece of road then over to Illawarra rd for the Macquarie Pass run. These hill climbs are in good condition, well marked with great views if your out for a day cruise. There are plenty of spots to enjoy in the area outside of driving. The roads between these hill climbs are dangerous with dips, bumps, blind crests, tree lined, so proceed with caution. I simply had a bad feeling when I was driving on them. Mabey all the crosses on the tree's had something to do with it.

If driving at night watch out for WOMBATS, they are everywhere. We have seen up to 10 in 90 min of driving, all alive and well wandering across the road or on the side of the road ready for a wander.

I find the royal national park too hard on the car and steer clear of it.

I will head up to Bells Line of Road soon to see what its all about.

Anybody have a review on this piece of road?

Hey don't knock Woodenbong ;)

And yes it is a very nice road and is in a lot better condition then years ago when it use to be a bloddy goat track with many accidents involving logging trucks and family cars :D.

One of the best stretchs IMHO would have to be Thonderbolts Way from Glouster to Whyalla. The road over the MTN is AWSOME and then the run to Whyalla has some VERY fast section that very high speeds can be easily reached. Pitty it is 4hours away from sydney :)

Maybe we could start a list at the front of this post with all of the sugestions and then vote on what we all think are the best roads ???

Maquarie pass then across to kangarro vally, brings you out at nowra, then north to kiama then shoot through to jamberoo, they you can go through albion park to get back on the freeway, or hang a left at jamberoo mountain road, and do the maquarie pass again, but in the oppostie direction :):rofl:

both Putty Rd & Kangaroo Valley have been mentioned but deserve another 2 very big thumbs up!!!!

Although no-one has mentioned the cahill expressway in Sydney (northbound) - belt along the top of circular quay then into the 270 deg corner under observatory hill then out onto the harbour bridge - oh the wail of a straight six :)

Does anyone here know McKanes Falls Rd near Lithgow? No traffic and a bloody nice short blast. Only 1 property access in the twisty bits too so not much chance of being surprised by someone pulling out in front of you.

Went from Goulburn to Oberon via Taralga and Black Springs on the weekend and the run down into the Abercrombie River is great, but the hillclimb up out the other side is GOLD!!! Unfortunately there's about 5 km of dirt at both ends.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      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.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
