Hey Aaron, you drive a lot through there, what the fork is happening????

A bloody idiot caravan escaped from a B double when he pulled out from the muster turnoff, Monday I think. (B-double wasn't quite so lucky)

Yesterday there were more fatalities involving 2-semis and a car.

Then on Tuesday I got stuck in a massive traffic jam South of Federal while the CES cleaned up from yet another crash.

One thing I did notice when driving through there on Wednesday was the 33 felt like it had a flat tyre. Stopped at Matilda to check and all good, it just felt wrong.

Any thoughts about the road surface???

Grigor,

Mate, your right, I go through there LOTS! Mostly I think there is a number of small things that add up. Usually people come unstuck due to a lack of concentration. But why in that area? I dunno..

I see it like this:

1: the road surface, even though it has been relayed a few times.. it does 'feel' odd.

2: its a wide flat road that gets a lot of dew and rain tends to just 'sit' on the road. So grime and oil does not get washed away.

3: driver fatigue, lots of people drive from Brizzy to Gympie in a hit, sadly lots dont make it.

4: Idiots doing dumb things in the wrong places! Bad passing, late braking.. no lights..

5: lots of coastal showers

6: Campher trees: these stupid pests of trees have some oil in their berries apparently. that section of road is lined with these trees for a few Km, on both sides. So, add it all together..

So, You get a winding, flat bit of crap road with oil on the surface, and the dew has not evaporated yet.. (or the rain).

Then people try and overtake to late, they bawke brake and nobody has a clue what they or anybody else are doing.

Suddenly it all comes apart.. and SMASH!

Thats how I see it, Just hang right back from the pack and wait. You will see exactly what I mean.

I drive a big coach through there and people in barina's try and play chicken with me..? What are they thinking? or not thinking?

My advice, keep good tyres on ya car, Stay at least 3 seconds behind the car in front. Avoid the drive in bad weather!

you want bad speed bumps...

go round the back of the albany creek tavern there are tripple speed bumps...

Its a joke, by the time your front wheels hit the third bump your rears are on the first bump and they tall bumps too...

Holy shit, went past there tonight, ( not in the skyline thank god, ) those things are insane. honestly, were they needed, lol

i also complained to main roads about the nudgee highway access road, and i got a call the next day saying they are evaluating the road, and if needed will re do it.

whats the bet nothing happens

Yeas, some people haven't a clue what damage "speed bumps" can do.

Here in hell town, there's massive road works. They had a 40k speed section and a stop-go man.

As the killer, they also had one of those fabricated steel speed bumps bolted to the road. You know the ones, you get them at shopping centres etc and you have to really crawl over them.

Unfortunately were all bumper-to-bumper thanks to the stop go man, so we didn't even see the speed bump until BANG.

You try hitting one of those bastards at 40.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I mean, I can confirm the TPS is at 100%.... I can confirm when we installed the TB and setup the cable that the TB was indeed fully open at max pedal travel.. the same 'curve' (WRT MAP vs MAP) existed with the previous setup/TB/manifold as well... No, we did not do a run with no intake connected. I would love to go back in time to do such a run to rule out the intake. It would have also been good to do a run with the airbox lid off. There's a test there where increased IAT vs more available air could be a positive tradeoff. I remember taking the lid off my R34 Turbo setup back in the day and noticing a monster increase, even if IAT's did go up. Could be similar. Hard to test unless I find a very deserted road.

      That's actually encouraging to be honest. my motor was rebuild many years ago but it's probably done less than 30,000kms and fucc all limiter or drift, majority street / drag / roll racing. It'll be fine 💪🏼 I don't even have lines or a can for the cam breathers installed yet, there is zero oil residue or splatter on or around them, it drives beautifully so it seems healthy. Just a ticky lifter, yet they're almost brand new oem genuine Nissan and haven't done many kms at all...

      Have you confirmed the throttle body goes to WOT (and stays there) during the run?

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      I'm having a problem. I think it was mentioned above somewhere but can't see it.  I'm stuck in the cycle of, sand, filler, low spot again, put filler, sand, low spot again, now i put filler again and a thicker portion which seems to have helped but I got low spots in other areas. In the image. Circled in red thats where the original low spot was and the shape is the same as the red out line. I've more or less fixed that (still low spot up the top but now I have low spots where the green circled part is.  Is likely the issue that I didn't start with a course sand paper? I sanded the filler with 240 to reduce the risk of not going to far but maybe the issue is that I'm only taking off enough material to remove some of the filler but not the high spots. I now started sanding with 120 and I think I'm seeing a difference. I did fix one dent the other 2 are f**ked and seems like I made another low spot which is indicated by the furthest green circle on the left handside. Any thoughts and solutions?   Also second image. All of these rock chips, can they be filled in with primer or do i need to fill them all with filler/putty? So many rock chips on mine lol.

      Well, I had an Edward Lee's special edition odo windback car/motor with a RB25DET S2 and I put down 372kW with a good amount of track abuse for 1.5 years before the ring lands decided it didn't want to stick around anymore 🥲 But probably didn't help I kept on smashing try limiter on the track and a few skid pans.
