Heres some off the top of my aging head:-

Royal National Park (Nasho).

Nasho then down the coast to the Gong.

Putty Road (to Singleton).

Old Gosford Road or Old Pacific Hwy(Yumm).

Bells Line of Road. (More Yumm).

Tallowa Dam (Kangaroo Valley).

Batemans Bay (Especially Shell's Way).

McCarrs Creek Road (PranK's)

Akuna Bay

Wee Jasper (out the back of Yass,,,overnight one).

Originally posted by Duncan What about the mini-cruise road - Henley Marine drive around the bay at Five Dock/Drummoyne

heh, that's where I took my car for it's test drive! It was a done deal by the first corner :)

Today I took the bike through the Nasho, down the coast, up Macquarie Pass, down Jamberoo Mt Road then back up the Princes Hwy. 320 km round trip. Recommend it. :P

For those not worried about a bit of travel, you can't go past The Alpine Way- Jindabyne to Khancoban (guaranteed to bring on car sickness in even the most resistant of passengers!).

A personal all time favourite is also the Great Ocean Road, particularly between Anglesea and Apollo Bay- great if you can avoid the tour buses and hire cars.

A word of warning about Tallawarah Dam at Kangeroo Valley- watch out for the water board trucks with radar guns (I'm sure Duncan would be happy to retell that little story!).

There's a really fun drive just off the northern road at Narallen, only about 2.6klm long, but you can always drive around again:D Not for cruising though.

(Sorry, which water board truck was that, thread hijacker:chairshot "I have no recollection of these events")

Oh he of the short memory.....

Duncan has the fame of perhaps being the ONLY person ever pulled up for speeding by a water board truck.

We were camping down at Kangeroo Valley when he

tried to set the land speed record in an old yellow datsun (yes there was a day before the blue skyser).

Unfortunately a water board truck had set up a speed trap on the dirt road (or just happened to be passing by, depending on which story you believe) and caught up with him about 5 minutes later.

Duncan (boy racer) was lucky to escape with a stern warning and the threat of having his rego number reported to the local constabulary......

Kelly (12 points) Handley was left with a smug "I told you it was a bad idea" look on her face.....

i live in sydney now but i am originally country boy from Bathurst.

Mt pan is a public road, and if you do it right you can get a real good run across the top.

just watch out for the cop on conrod on the way down!!!

You're from Bathurst? Heh, me to. Learnt to drive on the mount. I always love coming over the top of skyline down into the esses.. Just a cool feeling to suddenly see this curvy road appear below you.

You're right about conrod though.. Never a safe place to speed anywhere on that straight. And if you're not on the brakes the whole way down, then you're bound to get done for doing 80..

Came around the chase once slightly sideways with a couple of mates... And just behind the tyre wall with his radar pointed up the straight was constable care. I was doing 50 down the straight, so he just let me go :D

The nasho run is pretty cool... I do it about once a month, but it's never been dry :)

On the hunter valley cruise, I quite enjoyed the Pacific highway between just north of Sydney and Gosford.

Has anyone ever been to a place called the Coal Loader at the steel works down in wollongong? Is basically 2 or 3k's of dead straight road along the steel works that you can see from the lighthouse in the gong. The Road is basically only used by the odd Coal truck or fisherman. Very good spot for some Demos/fly bys. Only problem is there is one road in and out.

Hmmm... I have a vauge recollection of such events Mr. Airzone.. I cant believe you got out of that points free :)

What car did you drive around in Bathurst MrFrontMount ?

My fav bit on the mount..... right hand side of the road at the top of the dipper, punch it through the apex and then apex the next corner (you can see for oncoming) by the time you reach the right hander before forest elbow your doing over 120 then hard on the brakes.... mmmm, nothing like it.

Twisties between Lithgow and Bathurst (Tarana Road) has got to be one of my favorites !

Cant go past Mt. Victora Pass and River lett hill on the Great Western Highway too..

:burnout:

    • Hi, does anyone know how I can, or can a moderator remove this advertisement please.  Has been sold a long time ago and would like to remove references. Thanks. 
    • There are adaptors that allow you to delete the booster and use an s15 clutch master cylinder.    if you want to keep the booster they are still available brand new 
    • I visited again today: It would appear they have painted the main body of the car and some parts of some of the panels, so I can say that I now have BMW parts in my car, much to the envy of @Dose Pipe Sutututu It is still covered in dust which is quite the tease but I did look at a few circumspect spots that will be behind bumpers and such and wiped some dust away: After my repeated begging to PLEASE DONT PAINT OVER THE ENGINEERING CERTIFICATE (you have to re-engineer the entire car if they do) I see THIS: Which is great. Excellent job tbh at least to me. A better non dusty example would be the backs of the doors that have been painted: Giving a reasonable contrast between old and new (I know the old isn't clear coated on the inside of doors). The door card will well and truly cover where the old paint is, you can see in the second pic some of the black butyl/whatever shit is sticking the plastic sheet behind the door transfer that has happened since it's clearly been stuck back on. The most maddening thing about this colour is every time I saw it in the wild it looks like another colour, same with photos of many cars with the same colour looking wildly different in every photo anybody ever takes and this is no exception. But stand a little further back and it suddenly looks dark AF. I did tell them when I was discussing which of the 70 million charcoal colours to choose from (a porsche one, a BMW one, or a R32 GTR one etc) that if they just ignored me and chose one at random I would probably never notice. Maybe they did. But the colour is supposed to be B39 (BMW Mineral Gray). Boring I know, but the R34 sedan (to me) really shows off it's boat-ness when you paint it in a bright colour like bayside blue or white or whatever else. I do have a fondness for AR2 Nissan Red, but decided against that because it'll have pretty odd contrast to random bits unpainted (like engine bay, bits of trim etc, and maybe it'll fade). And people will always fkin comment on AR2. Everything remains super dusty. I have tracking numbers for the new heads, as well as some Improved Racing goodies, but they probably will be a next year thing by the time they end up on the car. I did some maths on the heads and I know why nobody goes to this extent in Australia, because it's really not worth it, given I could have just CNC'ed my current heads, bought a FAST102/TB and used my current rocker/spring/cam combination and get a 383 stroker (or stroked a 6.0 GenIV bottom end to 6.6L) built for the same price of just the setup in the mail/on the floor here. Or I could have bought a LS3 and a Drysump system. And then have a complete engine to sell. Oh well
    • We just disconnected the vacuum line if I remember correctly, booster is still there. Is there a rebuild solution for the booster or a different adapter that will work for GTR chassis?
