Just so everyone knows that open speed limit in WA is still 110Km/h

^^ Yup, the "open speed limit" signs just mean you can do up to the state limit, which as stated, is 110km/h.

There used to be one on the way to Barbagello's but not anymore.

So does that also work the other way around, like you can drive around like a total granny doing 60km/h or so? Where normally you are not suppose to drive >20km/h under the limit (well that's what the driving test dude told me anyway...).

Why don't they just chuck a 110km/h sign instead?

Lol so you went bizerk and drove over 110kmh thinking it was legal.

bravo :P

o really?

thanks for the heads up... if thats the case I was still legal... =)

the road was extremely windy and small though... Not to mention trees either side. You would have to be really pushing it hard to get it up and over 110kmh.

why dont they just put a 110kmh sign there? or whatever speed that they decide to put up there?

They are basically saying "we don't know what a good limit for this road is and wouldn't be bothered to find out so do whatever u like" similar to those yellow signs on on and off ramps, they are just serving suggestions.

Where did i say anywhere i went over 110kmh?

I simply said i had a fun spirited drive. Depending how the road (Bends etc) is and other factors such as road condition and time of the day/night... spirited drives do not have to be over 110kmh... or even 100kmh...

if you see one of these signs in say NT then you can go as fast as you like unless they have changed it since (someone in NT correct me)... most of those signs are being replaced as i have seen a few myself on country roads as the signs were used back when cars would not go quite so quick :P

Pretty sure they removed the open speed limit and set it to 130.

yep NT is now 130km/h limited. I believe that the road toll increased after they did this...fantastic effort there.

Only non limited roads are those not gazetted public roads or accessible by the public. They are the only truly unlimited speed roads (i.e. private tracks).

Back on topic I find the best roads are those unknown ones in the middle of nowhere. There's no one that sticks in my mind mainly because I don't bother reading what road I'm on but there have been some great roads, they're just not necessarily the main roads. The back roads are where it's at where you can enjoy your car within the speed limit.

Many a road ive been been on out serpentine or past brookton way that i cannot remember the name, but the twists and winds in the road are so enjoyable you dont mind the speed limitation and just enjoy the feel of the car on the road.

One of my personal favourites. Nettleton Rd, (just before the Petrol station as you coming out of Byford heading south on Great Western Highway) follow it till it hits Jarrahdale Road then west till you hit Great Western Again. Ups downs, lefts rights, ins outs, and slow downs and speed up's....just how my R likes it :P

mmm +1 for the mundaring weir road. mega fun road right there... don't have to speed but it helps.

another one - if anyone is ever out the york way just for a nice little drive, head towards beverly. just nearing beverly is top road beverly. no speed limit, very undulating, good road quality, can see ahead for quite a bit, nice view from the hill crests, and the shit is awesome... and i have never seen authority out there. ever.

also, take aldersyde road off mundaring weir road and it's incredible stuff. follow it out to pingelly and whatnot.

good driving roads are in the country boys and girls!!

also, toodyay road's a pretty good cruising road. turn right before toodyay town and head towards northam, chuck a right into katrine road there. 12km of shear riverside driving pleasure... road is a tiny bit harsh in some areas, but in a car with tein super drifts (that haven't been fulcrum-specced) i managed to stay comfy the whole way through. and, 110 feels prreeeetty damn fast in many areas. i remember taking my little old subi wagon through there at 130. RUSH. especially for that old girl.

anyways... just a few i know of. can't imagine how shit this world would be without awesome roads to stomp.

and, someone was talking about fauntleroy avenue before? that's a straight section of road. how can you have fun on tha.... oooohhhhh. i get it now.

+1!! Haven't driven it myself, but went with a friend in his VR4 Galant (twin turbo v6 - like a fat evo) at a 'moderate' pace... and... well... yeah... big PLUS ONE

I'll have to try it out.

Probably find a cop w/ a radar gun when I go up there now. :P

Not that I would entertain the notion of breaching our wonderful and wise speed limits of course!

The speed limit in the NT was changed a few years ago after some dudes in a Fezza crashed their car and killed one of the Gumball Rally(?) marshals on one of the ONLY corners/bends on the entire stretch of road that was raced on. Was from memory a Fezza F40, the guys driving it (doctors I think they were) survived it but they changed the speed limit shortly after that if memory serves...

As for roads I enjoy driving on, South West Highway is a bloody nice drive :ph34r: Also Caves Road along the south west coast, REALLY nice to drive down there. (I know I know, they aren't really in Perth :happy: )

at least its a leisurely drive..or will be.

but for a real drive there's a road near bridgetown heading west towards another town that goes every which way. lots of bike clubs go along it. did it early last year in my old bunky wishing i took the coupe instead!

    • Assuming the current ECU is stock, it might be worth getting hold of a nissan data scan cable. It could be as simple as voltage at the ECU
    • You need to test for spark when it matters - ie cranking. Kill the fuel supply, pull a plug and earth it, set up a camera and go crank. The spark needs to be consistent, every other turn of the engine. Not some sputtering of occasional spark. The reason I say this is because spinning the CAS in the air is not the same as spinning it installed, and if there is a bearing problem in it, the disk might work differently in the air than in the engine. You won't want to try to set the timing unless you know the spark is happening right.  Also, reconsider running the R35 coils against the stock ECU. They like a different amount of dwell cf the originals. It's not massive, you can actually run them, but it is better if you can adjust the dwell (which you can with Nistune in the stocker, or with an aftermarket ECU). Besides any of that - when you had the multimeter out, have you got power where it needs to be, earth where it needs to be (and when, in the case of igniter triggers), etc?
    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below
