The residential area has expanded and they're trying to make the infrastructure keep up. That BP intersection is a nightmare and can't keep up with flow.

Road widening for a longer right hand turn lane off Port Wakefield Road into Paralowie and changing the intersection is being planned.

I work for a development planning company, so I know these things LOL

:D

haha the coppers are gona hate it they cut down the trees where they always use to park amongst with the camera just after the caltex. Think they park there cuz the speed zone drops to 90 pass the servo most people dont see the sign then get done doin 110 which is the speed limit for most of port wakefield rd.

its actually all part of this Northern Expressway project (from the Port River Expressway / Port Wakefield Rd overpass right thru to the Gawler Bypass. Its incorporating a LOT of widening and improvements to Port Wakefield Rd thru to Waterloo Corner road, and up from there

What is the Northern Expressway?

The Northern Expressway Project consists of two components: the new Northern Expressway and the Port Wakefield Road Upgrade. The Northern Expressway will be a new 23 kilometre road linking the Gawler Bypass with Port Wakefield Road at a point about three kilometres north of the Waterloo Corner Road intersection.

To meet the demand of increased traffic volumes generated by the new expressway, Port Wakefield Road will be upgraded at key intersections between its intersection with the Northern Expressway and Salisbury Highway.

The Northern Expressway project is a joint initiative by the Australian and South Australian governments under the AusLink program. It will be the largest road construction project in the state since the 1960s

The Salisbury Council is looking to expand the residential zone further than Paralowie and Burton, so they're trying to get the road network right first go.

This means lots of ongoing and massive road works and headaches for residents in the area in the meantime.

Bout bloody time to!! Are they turning Pt Wakefeild road into a 3 lane highway or just keeping it as 2 lanes?? For one of the main highways into Adelaide its pretty piss poor really!

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
