Bells Line of Road - watch the speedo tho as lots of Police, but still fun at the speed limit and awesome views.

Mitchells Pass in the Blue MTs, Mt York - again good at the speed limit, but watch for big arse trucks who like to wander over all the lanes.

Cliff Drive from Leura, Katoomba, and then back to the highway is a beautiful drive with some awesome views.

Putty Roads rocks

Springwood/Hawkesbury Road love it too Dan!

And one I did the other days was the back way from Penrith/Mulgoa through Wallacia, the Oaks, Hill Top and back onto the Hume or comeback through Picton.

Being from Wollongong, I'd have to back up Mac Pass!

I've done Kanga twice.

Once in a Lancer VRX (Passenger) and then a second time in a 320KW GTR... That made me shit myself...

The road from Wollongong up to Bald Hill isn't bad, except you need some speed to enjoy it, and hence, I no longer do in the line (I won't speed on it) But hit Bald Hill and continue up through Nasho, even just "cruising" with a bit of spirit into/out of corners... Hell fun. I don't find it all that hard on the car either, except for one off camber, under signposted corner... That one sweeps on just a little bit and gets the car un settled.

Organising a cruise myself for anyone interested in january........ problem is that we need a good road and destination...... so far we are going on the 13th of january from mt panorama bathurst along the great western hwy to lithgow, along Bells line to richmond to meet up with anyone waiting there, and continuing to wisemans ferry.......... so anyone got any ideas and wants to tag along?????????????

Hi

If you create a thread you will get interest for the cruise :(

This thread is used for routes and destinations - and its not really read very often so not many people will see your cruise

Cheers

Have an interesting challenge/Test for the driver in everyone???????

National Park (Nasho)

The challenge/Test of SKILL:

Audeley Weir to Stanwell Park service way. AVERAGE (not do) 50kph or better for the entire trip and NOT CROSS the centre of the road once, stay on the correct side of the road at all times.

IF your honest with yourself????? you will find it's not an easy task and ANYONE that claims it's easy, I would like to see how easy they did it.

Cheers, D

Hmmm- interesting, but, Nasho is crap, basically. The road inside the park is atrociously maintained.

p.s look out for reindeer :sleep:

Have never encountered a reindeer on the main road through the park in my life. Have done on the dirt & side roads but never on the main road.

As for surface condition? Who cares & not the issue, your averaging 50k! And the worst maintained parts are in the tight sections and over 60kph is impossible when sticking within the rules.

Have a go if your game???? Either your up to it or not?????

I know of an EH Holden that did the run from Crown/Keira St's intersection to Sutherland station via the coast road (National Park) @ 0300 hours in 26 minutes.

Maybe you would like to try this instead ;)

learnt to drive on Bobbin head rd/Ku Ring Gai Chase Rd. Awesome rd. Used to be quite good at it in my pulsar. Havent much been up there in my S.

I wouldnt recommend Galston Gourge for more than a lazy sunday drive.. its a VERY narrow rd. Had an FD fly around a corner and nearly went head on. Quite scary.

Comenara is a half decent rd. good for a lazy drive.

and PALM BEACH!!! OH! WHAT A ROAD! Palm beach Via St. Ives (Max Brenor). Its pretty lazy, till you hit the twisties :wave:

    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
