Mundaring Weir road in Mundaring is pretty fun, lots of twists and turns, with some decent straights in there as well. Definitely not much traffic, only see a few other cars along there. Speed limits vary from about 50kms to 90kms (i think; it may be 80kms), with most of it being 70kms i think. Its not very fast, but its still quite a fun road. Would only recommend cruising there in the day though, lots of twists and wildlife

Hey man

You could always go through kalamunda but just go during the day as at night it may be a bit off a dangerous spot especially the zig zags unless your familiar with the roads and know the conditions, speed is pretty slow but for a scenic drive its perfect

Dan, could you PM me a map of some of those roads? They sound like fun!

Mundaring Weir Road, Greenmount Hill, Zig Zag Road, Brookton Hwy, Canning Rd, Armadale Rd. Went for a drive on some great roads Saturday night but I can't remember the names. I was following a black 32, so if their on here they might be able to tell me.

These sort of threads are on a whole bunch of forums, the police are 100% aware of the roads people like I can assure you.

Can confirm that.

I went up to zig zag one night to have a cruise... found that 4 patrol cars were covering both entrance and exit... Pulled us over quick smart :P

midland-toodyay-chittering-bullsbrook then back down to midland. Stay within you limits and don't break the law :P

Those roads are fantastic for a scenic drive....although when you go for a car cruise with a bunch of mates it can be hard to resist pressing your right foot on the accelerator a little harder :)

hay time to tidy up the topic

plz limit posts to good driving roads and and ur experiences on these roads (good, bad, etc)

no talking about cops plz all car enthusiasts get the same problems so no need to talk like ur somebody special

and in no way do i want this topic to give ppl the idea that it is alright to hoon.

it is just a search for fun places to drive within the law (dont drive like commodore driver :P)

worst thread ever.

Hey WAPOL! We skyline owners love these roads ***, ***, *** :D

mods need to delete thread

:P

I did consider this fact before posting in the thread. In reality, these roads did not just pop up over night, nor are they some national secret. The police regularly patrol these roads regardless of what is said here. If you are not breaking the law then you have nothing to worry about.

Good driving roads are only good when nobody else knows about them, so you'll never get a good response. You'll just get the typical hills/coast run that every man and his dog goes along. Most good roads are hours away... funnily enough where less people are! If you're not game enough to go out for a random drive heading in no particular direction to find yourself a good road, I guess you could use google maps and street view lol

i found one XD

omg! the zig zag! that hasnt been mentioned a million times already!

the zig zag was the lunch time proving ground when i was at high school. good fun when at the time i had a mx5 set up for motorkhana.

did this one today was pretty good nothing 2crazy but it has its moments

drivers side inner wheelwell shat itself :S long night 2night fixing (all the clips blew out when overtaking road train)

check out some of the stage maps for Targa West. They cover pretty much every suggestion on here, and them some (Lady McNess dve is my pick)

But yeah, my all time fav run is Kalmunda to Armadale. Canning rd to brookton hwy, brookton hwy to soldiers rd, follow it all the way to waterwheel rd and then out to the albany hwy. Not a huge run, but some of the best twisties you will find IMO.

Take music that sounds good LOUD

    • Welcome. Dont let anyone dissuade you from your dreams. If you want a gtr, keep sabing and you will eventually get one. I feel like if I had have bought stocks, those companies would have gone bust and I would have lost my money.  There's a gamble in everything we buy. I've had good times and bad. But... I've also met my absolute best friend through this network and can't imagine life without them(more like a brother). Keep in mind, some specific mods will change as technology gets better. If you feel like general chat, there's always the wasteland.....
    • Those are some very cutesy barriers! Is that common?
    • Saw this abandoned Honda Fit in a carpark that was getting repaved... they just 'cut around it' and continued with the job! There's a number of reasons why the car could have been abandoned, but as for the construction company, legally they don't have permission to move the car from the owner (who has moved on and can't be contacted) so all they can do it just leave it there with enough space around it so it won't get damaged. 
    • You’ll want to have the block drilled and tapped to suit 1/2in head studs and the head for the same. How much power do you intend to make?
    • Sorry for resurrecting an oldish thread Not much has happened in the past year since the last update. The car did another 1000 miles or so and failed the MOT for the first time in October (failed on tyres which had been advised for a couple of years) In October the car got put up for sale and was removed in November due to no interest, being so close to christmas it was to be expected. The roads were dry in February so I decided to tax it early and get the new tyres fitted.   Fast forward to April, I got someone in to give the car a good clean after sitting for the winter.                                 The car got re-advertised and today (Saturday 3rd May) the car sold. The new owner is planning a GTR conversion at some point and a respray in the same pearl white. It's bitter sweet, it's a shame to have the car sit there for half the year and then only do 1000 miles. The kids are growing too quick and space in the back is getting limited. It's been a great 6.5 years of ownership
