last night in the mrs vz hit another pot hole result 1 written off cv8 monaro mag and one that can be repaired less than one month old .

both time ring council get told the contractors responsibility go see the contractor get told the council is responsible go to the council and they print off a act of parliament absolving them of any blame .

ring lawyer and his says the act protects them you could fight it but it will cost you more than the rims worth fair dinkum im going too be late paying my rates from now on lol leave my dough in the bank for as long as i can for maximum interest .

its funny how they say its not my fault see the contractor.....go to the contractor and he says its not his fault see the council.....they just make your run around in circles to avoid paying you compensation for the damage caused.....if there are massive pot holes then either that lane should be closed till its fixed or the contractors have to fill it with something so that its not so bad on the cars

yeah they have there arse's covered tighter than a fishers arse lol if someone hit this on a motor bike it would throw them off the bike the council will end up up with blood on it;s hands one day

Deano, if that did happen with a bike and as a result someone was injured, they can throw their policies in the bin cause they'll all be running for cover!!

I had a situation in the Elizabeth City Centre carpark where I parked against one of those concrete front tyre stops. They have 2 lengths of rio rod that they nail the things in place with but one of the rods had dislodged and was sticking up a few inches, just enough for my work car's front plastic bumper to hook on. When I reversed, it ripped the front bar off.

This what I sent them with a massive bill and the buggers paid it, lol

who payed for that tho sled ? playford council or the shopping center management im not getting too much joy from the council lol

cant seem too open it bloody windows 7 im having a crap day so far lol

Edited by mid life crisis

Council never pay....you should know that by now, lol.

It was the Centre that paid but like I said, if someone gets injured, get a lawyer and go the council.........they WILL lose!

Try hitting "SAVE" rather than "OPEN" Deano

I had an accident because I hit a really big pot hole on the round-a-bout on whites/burton rd years ago in my vs clubby, I bent the Z bar and the K frame, went and got quotes and sent a letter simalar to Petes, The Council would not pay and I had to pay for the damage and still to this day the pot hole isnt fixed . I couldnt afford to get a lawyer and was going through seperation.

i have just moved down from bissy and never in my life have i seen so many ENWS man holes. i drive down marion road to go to work and its shocking. but i think S.A wastes money on things this state doesnt need for instant the revamping of the football oval or cricket ground which ever one it is. how bout a new high way that goes both ways its the only place in the world that has a one way express way.

well thats my say.

Hit that exact pothole in my 32 a few weeks back

Curtis Road up near Heaslip Road is getting pretty trashy too

Why would you move from Brisbane to here! yeegads!!

Dean i saw that pothole on the way home tonight and all i can is YIKES!!

Even the numerous CST road crossings they've done on Curtis Rd are shite! A heavy traffic road+shite rubble+lack of compaction, nearly hit one in the GTR that would have been close on 200mm below the road surface. Boof and Dion would know the ones im talking of.

I just like the overpass and roundabout bits they put in there ... especially when I go see Ben and Nene on the motorbike :D

If the dopes are giving you the runaround, I'd place a small advert asking if anyone has succeeded in suing the council or other, over 'Pothole Damage' > pursue the same course. I wonder if you get more than 1x reply! :D

i drive down peachey road everyday to go to work - they filled the pothole you mentioned just last week? i think...not that hard to just avoid them - but then again, i do know the road lol. Mate that really sucks about ur wheels, its sh*t when people don't want to do anything for you.

Im from adel originally but lived in NSW for a couple of years, and started owning an import over there...I move back to SA this year and -holy sh*t, i feel like taking my coilovers off and wacking sum standard sus back in!

pretty much feel like my teeth are gonna fall out when going over the railway crossing on Womma Rd lol

You should try the railway tracks on Torrens Rd going past Bombay. Need a 4WD to get over them :P

Ohh god they are shocking railway tracks. Gives me the shits going over them. I've tried to slow down to go over them, still not much difference to going 50-60 kms over them.

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drive beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
