Victorian Bridge Clearances- Confused And Need Halp


Recommended Posts

Yes...

NO

3.3 means that the bridge is 3.3 metres at its lowest point.

BUT i have taken a 4.0 truck under a 4.0 bridge, its at your own risk and if it all goes wrong then it REALLY REALLY goes wrong.

There we go - should have checked vicroads first ;)

I will assume that you are saying that you should have checked vic roads first and your not having a go at me.

Gee you are one defensive boy lately ;)

Either way i would be highly surprise if a bridge that says 3.3M clearance, actually is 3.3

It would likely be 3.4/3.5 to account for the idiot factor, because lets face it, there are plenty of morons out there.

Or worse case, just drop the tyre pressures down.

I have noticed that, maybe its my time of month :P

No doubt the bridges are not quite as low as they say and no doubt the truck is also not quite as high either (especially if it is a rental, they probably say its higher to account for the idiot factor) but for the odd occasion that the two are right i would rather spend the 5 minutes going the long way round.

unsure if its unladen, asking a question for the old man.

thanks for the replies guys, guess we'll play it safe and go around

Just curious how big is the truck your trying to get under it?

EDIT: Oops didn't notice where you said "3.3H"

For the record, we have just built a pedestrian bridge over the King's way on-ramp from Whiteman Street, near Crown. The clearance indicated on the sign is less than the actual clearance for obvious reasons.

    • I’m here solo don’t have any hands to help so haven’t hit it with a timing light 
    • When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?
    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
