Ok I'm talking 'proper' roads not some rural roads in the back of beyond.

I drive to work down orrong rd and there are some bad potholes southbound/eastbound on the left lane just before the Leach. I try and weave around them normally.

Some rds in Subi are crap and tons of stupid speed humps.

Southbound on the Kwinana just before the narrows where the rd goes down and right, there are some 'joints' in the rd, on the far left lane one of these joints - whilst not being a 'bang' type jolt - lifts the car up then down real fast and you get a big 'jounce' in the steering. Makes the car kind of creak and flex. :) The sort of thing that would catch you out a bit if you going 'fast' and weren't expecting it, especially as there is a big barrier inches to your left. :O

Obviously if you are running soft as stock suspension or sway bars you may not notice it quite so much. :D

The left lane of Guildford Rd is just shite!

The Garrett (sp?) Rd bridge is ridiculously horrible.

The main st/Scarborough Beach road intersection is bad too, particularly heading into Osborne Park from Mount Hawthorn.

And the left hand, right turning lane when you exit the fwy heading south at Hutton street is murder.

Oh and I try and avoid most shopping centres too. Grrr!

Dunno how many of you have been to Mundaring and Chidlow, that sort of area, but it is fucking terrible up there. And they always fix the part of the road that doesn't need to be fixed, like there will be one little pot hole and they will dig up a 20 meter section of road and repave it all, while 1km further down the road there is a section with pot-holes the size of Europe and corrugations like the alps, and they never fix those bits! F ucking Mundaring shire :)

Cnr of Canning Highway and North Lake Road where Caltex and KFC is ..... son of rajab the road there is horrible ... feels like my coilovers are going to explode and my rims are going to buckle ... :)

Hai :D

Entering Mundaring Weir Road from Mundaring (going past HJs) is deadly.......

Lol yes! Its terrible there! Yet they rip up the whole highway from the traffic lights to way past the peak and repave all of that :stupid:

Still can't believe i don't spot you haha, im out and about everyday, its not like i lock myself in my house lol. Is it you that locks yourself inside? :(

Agreed! I hate this part of the road! Also the horse shoe bridge in Perth! That right hand lane sucks balls!

Corfield St Gosnells, just as the roads converge to a single lane after exiting Tonkin heading towards Thornlie.

Yes! There's that really bad drop in the road right before the shops. Then on the way back through the round about is probably worse...

Rowley road that runs between Tonkin hwy and Nicolson road is farrrrrked

I would say this is even bad in a factory suspension car. Especially since it's an 80km/h limt and it just bounces the car up and down all the way haha.

There's a hole or something on the left turn off Albany Hwy into Vic Park where Macca's is. I never see it and just gives the car a really sharp jolt. Sounds like parts are falling off...

Anyone that fills up at BP in midland? All those speed bumps and pot holes and small but steep hills that kill lowered cars in between the BP and the Thirsty Camel? Yeh that area is intense!

Whitfords ave near wanneroo road seems to get new pot holes every week in the same sections of the road. They patch them up and then a week later there will be a new pot hole 1 foot away from the patched one they've just done. Maybe they should spend some of that money they make from speeding tickets on that road to actually fixing said road properly.

    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
