Telusm: Puna Rd. is not paved...do not know what type of vehicle you are going to use, but it is a very rough road. Earlier this fall there were patrols asking that non-residents refrain from entry. Most likely they still do not want anyone entering.
You may want to befriend Darl on the "Blue Hawaii' thread, since you will probably will be needing his service.
What navigation system are you bringing? Do you have the datum coordinates for your route? You may only get 8-15 M accuracy there, depending on the overstory plants.
If you have not been here before, you may want to get familiar with what unpaved roads are like here...the farther away from a main road, the less likely the road is anything but a very rough trail, usually not maintained & sometimes not used in enough years to be lost to the rainforest...
