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.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD?

      Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.

      So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!

      OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
