Theres this one f**king pot hole at innaloo opposite fitness first that keeps on popping up and getting refilled. I have nearly fell into it a few times when driving my car.

Anyway i saw some dude in a supra fall into it . get out of his car and was like ULLLEEEH WTF FFF WTFF FFUUUUUU for like 30minutes when his rear bar had a scratch/exhaust..

The pot hole is like a meter long by 50cm. enough for a tyre, and i never see the big chunk of removed bitumen around when its a pothole? WTF is it.

Takes them like f**king 7 days to fill it too.

Mill point ramp to Kwinana northbound.

Annoying bump towards the bottom of the ramp I need to brake for. It's a big metal 'joint' in the road between sections.

Lol that reminds me of the above ground parking near Ace Cinemas in Midland. They have those metal things to cover the wiring, but turns out they are also a real intense speed bump. They make them so pointy it is almost a little wall lol

i've got the winner guys, if you have ever used a GPS to go down to Prevelly(in Margaret River) it takes you down this sorta backstreet, ALL 6KM OF IT is potholes, took me 25mins to drive through it in my Aristo, which i had just picked up less than 2 weeks before (coilovers with stiff as springs and 19's with 35 profile tires) it was so dam horrendous!! felt like i was going to rattle the car apart! you eventually get to this intersection, the road wasnt on the map, but i wasnt going to torture my missus, my car or myself any longer, turns out that turn off i took led me to the place directly, stupid GPS!

Dunno how many of you have been to Mundaring and Chidlow, that sort of area, but it is f**king 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 :banana:

Man Its Chidlow LOL What Do U Expect, at leat mundaring fill theres up 6 months later lol

John sanders dve between harbourne at and selby st north, head west along that

stretch of road in the rh lane with a kitted or low enough car and wait for the bottom out

then there's another heading north along harbourne st inthe left lane as your coming

up to the Audi dealer, it drops down then bang, straight back up

and finally if you're quick enough to get the green light and want to live the fast and furious

moment you can sing thru the lights at Hepburn and wanneroo heading west, mate hit

that in his vl too quick once and a spring dropped out :(

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!

I wish he F**k they'd do something about that. If you come into the drive thru from the east there is no other straight line out but over the second worst speed hump in the Perth metro!!!!!

I wondered when someone would mention that stretch. John at Wheels World uses that strip as a test track to setup suspensions & coilovers, so basically if your not setup correctly you'll bottom out.

Haha yeah was always a fun spot to hit before I got coilovers

there's also a point my mate beached his commodore on pulling into the deli down the road from

the police station on scab beach rd, haha I had to get out and rock his car onto the back wheels

Worst potholes are the ones where you actually know they are there but u forget while driving over them. You cringe while saying farrrk saaake.

And for south of river people, holla if u been to hungry jacks carpark in spearwood lately. That shet should be a testing ground for 4wd's. you got speed humps that when u try to dodge and go around, ur car actually falls into a dark abyss. should be called the new bermuda triangle. But dont fix it ay, oh great council you. All these missing people out there in the world.. they should be searching for them at hungry jacks spearwood.

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, the trouble with that ^^ is: The configuration shown is absolutely a 1-way, not a 1.5-way. There is no way that a 1.5-way can be said to offer LSD action only on acceleration. If Nismo cannot get that right, then it is impossible to believe their documentation. That ^ is not a 1.5 way setup. That is a 1-way.   And so now I have allowed all doubts to flourish and have gone back to look at the MotoIQ video. I originally made the mistake of believing him when he said "this is a 1.5-way" at the ~6:10 mark. Because what he did was take the gear assembly out of the 2-way opening and just rotate it one place to the left to drop it into the 1-way opening. When he dropped it in there, the cam was "backwards" compared to the correct orientation shown in all other photos of that config. The flat shold have been facing the 1° ramp side of the opening, not the 55° ramp side. And I thought, "gee that's cute", but I was concerned at the time, when he put the other ring back on, that the gap between the rings looked like it was wider then in the 2-way config. And then I said a lot of things in my long post on Tuesday that could only make sense if the guy from MotoIQ was correct about what he'd done. BUT... I have now done my homework. I grabbed a frame of the video with the 2-way config, and then grabbed another with the "1.5-way" config, snipped out the cam and opening of that frame and just pasted it direct on top of the 2-way config. I scaled it so that the triangular opening was almost exactly the same height in both. AND.... the gap between the plates is wider with the cam installed in the triangualr opening backwards. That is.... it cannot go together that way. There would be massive force on the plates all the time, if you could even reassemble it.  So, My statement on the matter? The Nismo diff is actually only a 2-way and 1-way. There is no 1.5-way option in it, regardless of what they say. Here's a photo of a real 1.5-way ramp opening from Cusco (along with the 1 way option). And the full set of 1 through 2 way options from their racing diff, which is not same-same as what we'd typically be using, but...the cams work the same. A little blurry, but it comes from this Cusco doc, which is quite helpful. AND.... Cusco do in fact do what I suggested would be sensible, which is to have rings that do 1 and 1.5, and 1.5 and 2. Separately.

      Well it wasn't as easy as I thought.... and it also wasn't in my original manual which I did end up finding. They discuss the process in the Nismo catalogue though and it requires slight machining. Page 145.  NISMO PARTS CATALOGUE 2020

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I'm an idiot, my intercooler is rated for 1000hp. I had clicked on the wrong product. Knowing the delta P would be nice, but I'm doubtful I'll do it. Now as for an EMAP, that would be great and I'll get around to it eventually but from my findings in my last post, I'm considering a turbo swap now.
