The general idea with Illawarra and Alexander Drive is to avoid all together! Works for me. I just go around the long way, follow it to the end and get back onto Alexander Drive. Screw waiting at the lights, its a bit like going on a mini cruise by yourself :rofl:

Maybe I'm just too tired, but..

What to the end where? Lol both ends intersect with Alexander.

Edit: And I think lights at that bit are long overdue, it was terrible before that.

+1 for Nicholson Rd/Yale RAB and Leach/Tonkin intersection.

Also Ranford Rd near IGA (Canning Vale) so many ppl just run the intersection rather than giving way to people in the RAB.

My personal fav though is the dual lane RAB intersection Shenton Ave and Marmion. It works well in theory, but too many people just can't cope with dual lane RABs, so many accidents there!

Hutton St at the freeway entries/exits. Gets so busy sometimes, usually traffic gets banked up in one lane but not the other so people try turning across the road not being able to see if there is another car coming along in the other lane at a speed too fast for the conditions. Where do people get the idea that a green light means you are completely safe at an intersection and don't need to adjust your speed if there is shitloads of traffic banked up or even bother to check that an idiot isn't crossing when he shouldn't be?

Pretty sure the bike thing works on power too.. a mate had a 650cc dominator (road/trail) which is able to be used on a small bike license as it only had like 33kW.

Also, don't brake-check cops.. they'll do you for dangerous driving (another mate of mine got done for it).

I'm a good boy :down:

Not really an intersection, but there's a rather large pot hole on alexander drive which I hit today because the puddles were hiding it. Yay for almost ripping the tyre off.

Not a single intersection but any round abouts. . (the double lane ones)

Is it just me or does everyone on the outside lane ALWAYS cut into the inside lane and make you get really close to the roundabout?

I cant remember how many times this has happened to me and ive been forced up the curb on the inside of the roundabout. . happens just about every week. .

And like stinky rooster said, the roundabout on armadale rd. . Happens mostly there and the one further up in forrestdale (still on armadale rd)

STAY IN YOUR LANE!!!

I'll admit that I do this, but only if there isnt anyone in sight. Seriously, who is stupid enough to cut someone off? Thats just stupidity.

Also, its a 7 demerit point fine apparently, thats the other reason I only do it when no one is around ;)

Gnangara rd and Beechboro rd at peak hr, AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE!

I've had to hit the skids for a couple of noodles that turned infront of me while heading west on gnangara. And trying to get onto gnangara from beechboro is nearly impossible

I dont know about dangerous but my picks do require a little more vigilance.

Freeway overpass at Hutton st..clowns changing lanes in the turn, then is standard nonsense down to W.A.'s old shop

Walcott and Beaufort. Every yuppie for themselves

Mirrabooka and Reid. I don't know why but there is always evidence of carnage

Right turn exit off Kwinana to Canning...make up you minds ppl, are you going into the Raffles or not?

Leach from Northlake to the Freeway anytime after 3pm on a Friday...Indy 500 without the skillz.

And any place I ride my Triumph

I still fail to see how that's dangerous, all the accidents there are because people skip the lights. Fault of the people, not the intersection.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
