street name----------------------------> Mountain Highway

start point (number/cross road)--> The Basin(Boronia rd)

type--------------------------------------> Twisty Hill Drive

I used to drive this road home daily, it's a nice drive but theres alot of cyclists (especially when the tour de france is on for some reason) take it easy as theres a large drop off on the side and ive seen a few cars and skid marks off the edge. Some trucks also tend to spill some diesel when full and driving around the corners. Police also sometimes sit on a corner where the only straight is.

on a recent trip to tassie, i would have to say on the 2000km road trip i went on, %80 of it was awsome, some of my favourite roads where driving through the mountains from mole creek through tullah to strahon, then through the ghost town of queenstown, and that was in a scooby doo wicked van lol

Here we go...

http://www.carsroute.com/top-15-most-beautiful-roads-in-the-world/

Including 5 extra "Mentions", I've been privileged to have have travelled on 3 of the 20.

Got the first 2 covered

Some other notable

Pikes peak , colorado springs colorado ( bring a jacket it can be 40c at the base and snowing on top ) high altitude sickness so beware , stay in the car if the lighting is striking

Rocky mountain national park - drive across rhe continental divide at high altitude ( slow but it needs to be so many animals and views ) it takes your breath away -colorado

Montana - glacer national park - they didnt have a speed limit in daytime hours when i lived there !!

Backroad down from airport in billings montana very fast and extremely twisty, shear drop off cliffs !

calaiformia - LA , mullholand drive , the real streat drift start spot

California - US1 san deigo to seattle , san fran area is nice

Florida - the keys highway is full of police and tourist rips offs - south east florida is extremely dagerous just off the main drag

OMG road - golden colorado above coors brewery- similar to the road in india 1 lane dirt goat path , straight down to river 4,000 feet down

dead cars in the bottom and crosses litter the roadside , it will scare the crap out of you

mt Evans road - colorado -amazing , high altitude road can be taken at decent speed up to the base then its wicked switchbacks full of rock climbing sheep that come up to your window - steep drops offs to mutiple coulors of lakes at the mid summit a huge glacier lake , you can see for 300 miles on a clear day !!

vail pass in winter - colorado snow boarders jump the road from 20 ft deep snow on the roadside !! road is clear most of the year

4x4 roads above gold mines along I-70 in colorado mtns some crazy awesome views and water pools off the glaciers crystal clear

wyoming -usa - green river highway from utah to montana , crazy views , deep green river , rock formations from every time in world creation marked along the road , hot springs , smooth and fast drive , bring a fishing rod and license to fish !!

Adelaide - none too bumpy , full of holes or police ridden

Backstairs passage to victor harbour is decent

osaka japan at midnight - like a ghost town from kansia airport inland

BMW has a free android app (don't know if same for apple) called 'Ultimate Drive'.

Map/GPS based, brings up routes that people had logged, close to your current location. Also location searchable.

Quite cool.

Good spot Michael :)

Downloaded this the other day - yep it's available for iPhone. Have plotted / added some routes on the app myself - Cliff Drive @ Leura/Katoomba and Mitchell's Pass @ Blaxland/Emu Plains.

Good app, can be a little slow / clunky but overall a great way to compile a lot of great roads and share them around.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By Duncan · Posted

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      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.
