Bathurst (Mt. Panorama) Via Jenolan Caves Supa Cruise- Sun, Nov 20Th!


Recommended Posts

Hello everyone, i am organising a cruise that has some terrific scenery and fantastic roads, i have done this drive a couple of times & absolutely loved it out to the famous Mt. Panorama... hope to see you there, the details are as follows:

DATE: Sunday, Nov 20th

TIME: From 9:30AM

MEET WHERE: Penrith KK's Carpark (between Outback Steak House & KK's, behind Macca's near Penrith Panthers) on Molgoa Rd.

LEAVING: 10:30AM SHARP

DESTINATION:

1. Oberon

2. Mt. Panorama

Our first stop will be Caltex @ Mt. Victoria, for anyone who needs fuel. The next stop, via Jenolan Caves, is at Oberon for a 35minute fuel & lunch break... we'll then head to our final destination which is the BIG park up the top of Mt. Panorama, we can organise from there to do afew laps of mt Panorama, we can organise from there to do afew laps of mt Panorama- within reason- but please be mindful to do the speed limit as the Police presence on the track is quite strong and they are not very lenient... they hide all the time around the track!

Cruise Route:

1. Right onto Molgoa Rd.

2. Right onto the M4/Great Western Highway onto and following through the Blue Mountains

3. Once you go down the other side of the Blue Mountains @ Mt. Victoria, the first speed cameras you see... take the 1st LEFT afterward and you follow that road (Sign for Oberon), it will lead you to Jenolan Caves.

4. The rest is hard to explain, you'll need to keep up...

I know how you feel, still havn't got mine back yet, been nearly a month.

I should have a spare seat in the back if i get it all back and together this week....

You'll just have to meet me at the meet point.

1st stop is Caltex @ Mt. Vicotria to fuel up for anyone who needs to. We will only be driving through Jenolan Caves, and will be stopping to refuel and for lunch in Oberon. This is due to the price of Food @ Jenolan Caves, lack of parking and to eliminate anyone holding up the cruise with doing their own thing- if that makes sense.

I wasn't able to come along, but was at Panthers getting coffee from the Maccas about the meeting time, didn't see any cars :( anyone have some pics from the cruise they would like to post up?

Got afew photo's from yesterday, here's the link to the album: Mt. Panorama Cruise- Photo Album!!

Thanx to those of you who came out for the meet or the cruise itself, much appreciated :thumbsup:

    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home  
    • 1.05 you’ve gotta let it breath 
    • You have to continuously fill it to avoid dry running. Personally the transmissions I've serviced have never been bad enough to justify doing this because it is definitely a pretty complicated and somewhat risky procedure compared to simply draining the pan, measuring what came out, then refilling with the exact same amount.
