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

http://www.dtei.sa.gov.au/infrastructure/n...way.html#whatis

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.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
