Worthwhile having a videographer at the "big rock wall" perhaps?

If so, drivers should space their cars somewhat from the car in front, on approach.

Sometimes bikers congregate there but there weren't any on Saturday last.

Whilst there's traffic up the escarpment it's best to fall back from the car in front anyway in order to get some mini-squirts in - keeping within speed limits of course.

What a great bunch of guys we have (as I look up and down the list)!

Keogh Photography was taking snaps of cars on the lower reaches of Mac Pass on Saturday. He's often seen along Royal NP. Not to be confused with radar haha.

Are you from around the Illawarra, Terry?

I'm from Albion Park.

Hahaaa, You're a scream PJ

When I do the Southern Highlands runs, I can come from the Blue Mtns Nathan - a long way: or I have the choice of coming up from Sussex Inlet.
The latter is more a choice of then going up Kangaroo Valley Rd or Cambewarra Mtn (Nowra Rd).

Tell me this Nathan...

If Macquarie Pass is closed on the 28th or at any other time, is it possible to turn right off the Princes Hwy at Dunmore and onto Swamp Rd?

I've travelled along Swamp Rd several times but always from Kiama Rd northbound back to the Hwy.

Can always ascend Jamberoo Mtn Rd to the Pie Shop - Robertson.

I do intend to come with my 34R - but my Mum is in respite care atm. I think Edifier might be coming too > Twins!

Hope everything goes well with your mum.

You sure can. You exit off the highway and chuck a right at Riverside Drive. Another option would be to go up Terry St in Albion Park and along Jamberoo Rd. there's about a 10 minute passage of twists and turns and the end result is still Jamberoo :)

In that case, Princes Hwy to Dunmore...

> Riverside Dr

> Swamp Rd

> Kiama Rd

> Jamberoo township then turn right

> Left up Jamberoo Mtn Rd

> Pie Shop

...can be a very interesting option.

    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
    • Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
