With all the recent rain & storms, I have heard on the radio about & seen driving around, quite a few potholes on some main roads. Anyone with half a brain would know hitting one of these at 80kph or so there is a chance isn't going to end pretty with tyres, maybe rims, possible body damage and in worst case control of the vehicle, so keep an eye out for them out there :(

Even some that have been previously filled in have become unsettled so will have a similar effect. Posting this because I've seen some on a road I've driven on pretty much every day for the last 3-4 years & there hasn't been anything but the other day I spotted some so just something to think about :(

Yeah I've noticed this too, the left hand lane heading east on Guildford Rd in Maylands is pretty sketchy and there's not really any room to avoid them in traffic.

Edit: btw [Michael] the number plate lights in your rear weren't working the other night..

There is a nice big rim killer pothole on Gnangara road near Beechboro road.

Also, my mate damaged his tyre and NEW rim at the corner of Hutton and Guthrie in Osb PArk. Think councils need to pull their finger out!

When i was in perth yesterday i saw armadale road had pot holes everywhere. Heaps near midland brick also armadale rd and nicholson (its just starting to get there) and also just past lake rd when your heading towards armadale.

The council definetly needs to stop using the shovels as a leaning device and use them to fill the holes up

yeh roads all over the place have just got a whole lot worse. Some big pot holes near my house haven't been fixed for years.....it's bulls#&t. The council needs to get there act together and fix them all. To make it worse, when i try to avoid them by swerving (only when theres no traffic around) i'am yelled at by padestrians cause they think i'm a hoon....it sucks.

That's when you need to do a handbrake turn, smash 2nd up to them & politely explain you were simply manouvering your automobile around the eroded surface of the street in a controlled manner. :(

If I hit boost anywhere I get yelled at and called a hoon! I had some old guy run out of his house brandishing his fist shouting "IF YOU SPEED THROUGH HERE AGAIN I'LL THROW A F*@KING BRICK THROUGH YOUR WINDSCREEN!" I wasn't speeding, my car is just loud and sounds like it's going fast when it's not.. I came to a complete stop half way through the intersection, flipped him off and was about to drop a big smokey burnout but decided against it incase it stepped right out and knocked the old lady off her bicycle that was riding on the road next to me.

The ones I noticed the most were a few on West Coast Hwy & the left hand filter lane turning onto Wanneroo Rd from Ocean Reef Rd....with that being a few minutes from home I've turned there just about every day for the last 3 years & there hasn't been anything, so hitting all 3 isn't good!

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
