GPS of course, is a great boon to travelling from A to B + it saves domestic disputes (big time).

But when you're funnelled into gridlock somewhere, even a belated alternative route may not be able to get you out of that fix - and we all know what Sydney roads are like Fri to Mon!

So tell us what your favourite "Shortcuts" are!

Help us!

Post #2 is an example...

Terry why not just create it on google maps, much easier to digest than a long list.

I'd avoid burwood road and canterbury road, both a pretty congested no matter what time of day, this is my tried and tested:

not working for me mate

but if you mean eastbound on canterbury rd towards king georges, there's a pretty long bypass along hillcrest st, winner, although during school term gotta go back onto canterbury one road earlier

Fortunately...

The section of Canterbury Rd I'm talking about is only for 100m

The section of Burwood Rd is only for 1.2Km southbound along a quiet stretch

Thanks for the link > I do need to shed my geriatric brain and experiment with google maps :)

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
