I was thinking the other day,,,we need a listing on good Cruise sites. We all wonder where to go to next.

Heres some off the top of my aging head:-

Royal National Park (Nasho).

Nasho then down the coast to the Gong.

Putty Road (to Singleton).

Old Gosford Road or Old Pacific Hwy(Yumm).

Bells Line of Road. (More Yumm).

Tallowa Dam (Kangaroo Valley).

Batemans Bay (Especially Shell's Way).

McCarrs Creek Road (PranK's)

Akuna Bay

Wee Jasper (out the back of Yass,,,overnight one).

Anybody else got some????..

Neil.

who on earth is this "ndr" you are quoting.

I once knew a Obi Wan Kenobi. I wonder if old Ben Kenobi knows him.

anyway....sounds like a good but long drive there Bryan. We are heading off on a Putty Rd Cruise in 2 weeks which should be a good warm up.

Mitchells Pass in the Blue MTs,

Mitchell's Pass Rd is closed indefinitely.

Hawkesbury Rd/Springwood Rd speed limits are now reduced to 80 or 60 with only a short strip of 100 at the base of Hawkesbury Hts.

I also endorse "The Gang Of Four" down south...

1) Up Macquarie Pass (Illawarra Hwy) > Robertson Pie Shop

2) Down Jamberoo Pass (Jamberoo Mountain Rd) > Kiama

3) Up Kangaroo Valley Rd from Berry > Kangaroo Valley

4) Down Cambewarra Mountain (Nowra Rd) > Bombaderry

It's a set = "Gang Of Four"

Definitely best done in the early morning as Shaun quoted - or as a night drive (if there's no ice or wet autumn leaves on the tarmac).

Hey everyone just wanted to no what good driving roads we have in nsw.

My personal favourite is going from maitland to gresford then to dungog and onto the bucketts way through to taree. Plenty of hills and twisties bit rough but still a good drive.

Please share your experiences???

Nasho is arse now, as are a lot of other good roads, speed limits dropped from 100 to 60, There are still some good roads but you need to drive for hours to get there, Snowy Mountain ranges are my fav.

Neil's got an old thread somewhere here about this topic...

But hey...

Try... very early morning... or late at night...

A set of 4

From Albion Park...

* Up Macquarie Pass to Robertson >

* Down Jamberoo Mountain Rd to Kiama > proceed south a bit to Berry >

* Up Kangaroo Valley Rd to Kangaroo Valley South >

* Down Cambewarra Mountain Rd to Bombaderry > come back up north to Sydney

And as Chris said...

* Old Pacific Hwy and...

* Putty Road to Singleton

Just to add on Terry's "Set of 4". You have to be VERY careful when doing these. The ONLY one of these roads I haven't come across Kangaroos on is Macquarie Pass. Everywhere else is full of them! (I nearly took two out in one go on Jamberoo Mountain Road 5 nights ago and I was 20 under the limit on the straightest bit of road on this trip)

Also, natio park, look out for the kangaroo and deer... Stupid Deer are suicidal!

Yep definitely watch out for those deer (at night mostly) down through the National park.

I'd add Bells Line of Rd from Richmond/Kurrajong to Bell / Mt Victoria.

And some caves at the end...

Hey Dale, we need some vid from the Grand Arch with RB exhausts and Xenons going thru there at 2Km/Hr. :thumbsup:

Yes, Bells Line of Road is great when Police aren't hiding in the bushes, laying in wait for cars coming down a steep hill 1.5 km east of Mt Tomah Gardens :whistling:

An extension of the Jenolan Caves rd drive which I drove on the Easter Weekend down to the Nissan/Datsun Nationals from Hartley down to Goulburn, a beautiful drive through State Pine Forests with very little traffic. http://maps.google.com.au/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Hartley,+New+South+Wales&daddr=Goulburn,+New+South+Wales&hl=en&geocode=FZQmAP4d6X3zCCl_tp5shQsSazGAY0OQtAkGBA%3BFV6v7f0dU4bsCCmXDH5LzLEWazHg3UOQtAkGBA&mra=ls&sll=-25.335448,135.745076&sspn=67.281839,133.681641&ie=UTF8&z=9

Sorry the HTTP address is long but if you copy and paste it into your browser it will give you times ,distances and directions. An alternate to this is go to Google Maps and find "Get Directions" and type in "A" Hartley then "B" Goulburn. It says about 3 hours but I drove from Medlow Bath down to Goulburn via this route and it took 2.5 hours with a toilet stop.

Last year I rode shotgun on a MX-5 drive that took that route. Was a very long day but the drive was fantastic! The driver was also kind enough to let me drive Mac Pass and RNP on the way home (she may or may not have been exhausted :laugh:)

Just north of Newcastle past Raymond Terrace, Buckets Way through Gloucester, Walcha/Uralla. Then you're close enough to Armidale or Tamworth. Long drive. No traffic. Bendy bits and open bits :)

I don't like Old Pac. Too busy and not enough visibility.

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
