Hey guys,

I know this might not be the right place to post this but, I have organised a cruise to Mt Panorama on the 24th May for Stageas only. This is the link to the Facebook event page: https://www.facebook.com/events/704000399639080/?ref_dashboard_filter=upcoming

We will be meeting at Penrith Panthers Car Park at round 0800, this should give us enough time to hand out the maps and such before we depart at 0900. We can discuss which way everyone wants to travel in the morning, Ill have maps for both ways, the most direct route and for Bells Line if people are interested.

We will hopefully have a photographer in the car on the cruise taking photos, and for photos at the Mountain.

Hopefully we can have a whole bunch of us just cruise up, have some fun and an awesome day out :-)

If the people that are interested could click on the Facebook event that they are coming so we have some idea of numbers that would be great :-)

Thanks guys

Brendan

The most direct route being up GWH?

It is littered with roadworks, 40kay zones etc. Weekend will make it shite. Out through Agnes banks, up Bell's line is the only enjoyable option currently.

Even if you decide to cut across the darling causeway & down Mt Vic pass, that's still a better option than the Highway atm.

Will you be attending Daleo ?? If so maybe you can give me a hand with that route and mapping it on Google Maps ?

Hey Brendan, I can do the first few legs, but I'll probably have dip out around Mt Vic, or a little further.

I'll put a couple of options together tonight, and put them on the FB thread. If they look good; by all means use them.

I was out at Bathurst on my bike a week ago; mates & I found a really good route.

You've also given us just over a weeks notice. Hope you don't expect a big turnout.

As most people with stageas have wives and kids to organise and plan around

Stop it dude. Come, or don't come. :rolleyes:

Don't poison this the way you did with the SAU Cars & coffee show.

Here's a proposed route;

https://www.google.com.au/maps/dir/Panthers+World+of+Entertainment,+Mulgoa+Rd,+Penrith+NSW+2750/Mount+Panorama+Motor+Racing+Circuit,+Panorama+Ave,+Mt+Panorama+NSW+2795/@-33.5992461,150.7235299,14z/data=!4m34!4m33!1m25!1m1!1s0x6b128f534cef0a2b:0xf017d68f9ef71a0!2m2!1d150.675691!2d-33.757895!3m4!1m2!1d150.7109854!2d-33.6032461!3s0x6b12827bb39d2edb:0x68c7318150f69f48!3m4!1m2!1d150.2940028!2d-33.5170166!3s0x6b1275d9855081df:0xc69e3b467b97b705!3m4!1m2!1d150.256335!2d-33.5873189!3s0x6b12730a058c65e7:0x13017d67e7ba29d1!3m4!1m2!1d149.8483156!2d-33.7029155!3s0x6b12200464723eb5:0x130609b472c2a790!1m5!1m1!1s0x6b11e60ac0c44a5f:0xe09137c65fd2dd11!2m2!1d149.56275!2d-33.438035!3e0?hl=en

It's 201km, with a proposed time of 3h 11m. With some strategic spots to regroup, & photograph; this should be a nice run. I'd be estimating perhaps another 45mins -1 hr to the trip.
It has a mix of tight stuff, and plenty of open corners with damn nice scenery. It was good on the bike; so it should be fairly ok even for people with low clearance.
The best thing; there is basically no-one on these roads (once you get off the GWH) to spoil the flow of a good quality cruise.
Also, everything is 100km/h once you get away from the GWH at Jenolan Caves Rd.

There is a beaut Country pub at O'connell with ample parking; it is about 25km from Mt Panorama, and has awesome bistro food, cold beer, and good prices. They have a large outdoor area with a fire when it's cold, and they are used to serving large numbers, so you won't wait forever for a meal.

Once you're done at Mt Panorama; do the zombie run back along the GWH back to Lithgow, then you can either run down Bell's Line, or continue along the GWH into the epic afternoon traffic in the upper mountains.

Are you kidding me? Cry me a river I'm just saying it's a bit short notice.

Cry you a what? I was referring to your other comment.

You know exactly what I'm talking about.

Come or don't come; don't speak for other people. They can do that themselves.

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
