THAT STUPID ROAD GOING THROUGHT THE ARMY BARRICKS!

omg.. and just over the bridge.. shit.. that f's my car up like a mofo

I got a friend living on that street...

And they actually fixed that road once... Then they had to rip it up coz of the new houses contructions.

The worst is down Anzac pde, between the franklins shopping and the Maroubra rd cross. Going towards lapar.

It was once very nice. Damm all these constructions around the place.

I just got back from having the front windscreen replaced in my work hiace van. Had a couple of tiny tiny tiny stone chips at either end of the window and then afew months back the council had to re-tar a 1ft wide section of a road I go along on the way to my work depot each morning. the section that had the new tar was about 2 inches higher than the road and their was no choice but to hit it doing about 60km/h. So 2 of the stone chips resulted in 2x 30cm cracks in the screen :D

Since then the council came back and scraped it back so it's level with the rest of the road, idiots!

Luckily it was a free insurance job.

i dont know if any of u guys driven on pittwater road on the northern beaches, this long stretch of road is a piece of crap filled with potholes, and uneven patches of repairs.

majority of it is not even tarmac! its slabs of concrete sealed together with tar, so if you got some stiff suspension your be bouncing in your seat for a few km's. i drive the backstreets just to avoid that crappy road

My favourite is still driving towards Campsie on Parramatta Road (the one right next to the clock tower) - that place is horrendous for pot holes! But after seeing my ex for 2 years, kinda got used to the bumps and learnt how to navigate through it...

Yes, Pittwater road is an absolute bish as well... always sounds like you've got a flat spot on your tyres (all 4 of em :D)

Another one that's really bad is coming into Rockdale from the city, not really pot holes but just a series of ridges on the little bridge, makes the car jump all over the place.

Suspension = TEIN HA Coilovers with damper on setting 16 :D

      I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?

      Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?

      So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
