only an mx5? ONLY AN MX5???????? :D lol.... yeh prolly will die off haha...

thanks andrew... yeh it is a bit of a deep one i'nit?

i was driving to a mates place just before, and ran over yet another pot hole! no damage done this time, but blardy hell. when you start looking for them on the road, THEY ARE EVERYWHERE!

goodness knows how you guys with body kits do it! kudos! so THIS is what we pay taxes for huh?

Anna, you'll learn VERY quickly to be able to dodge them.

Majorly sucks that it's happened, the councils response to this will be "What pot holes". By the time they get back to you, they'll have filled the street in.

Good idea to get something with a date on it (Like a newspaper) to date your photos.

oh no they wont... i drive down that rd daily.... if they even DARE covering it up, i will know....

not to mention i will pull over, take photos of them fixing the rd, and i have a time stamp on my camera....

rah! lol.... they WILL pay for this... *shakes fist*

Time stamp means NOTHING as you can alter it, you need something like a newspaper which is dated upon print to prove the date.

NSW RTA have unfortunately found that fixing all of the potholes will cost too much. Therefore, the potholes will be moved from place to place in order to distrubute the wear and tear equally amongst motorists. Crews will be working every peak hour with lane closures in effect to dig the next scheduled pothole and use the bitumen gained to fill in the previous one.

Oh, another thing, Anna: sometimes the road is a council responsibility, and sometimes it's an RTA responsibility - find out who's responsible for that stretch of road and keep the pressure on!

All I can say is dont abuse or swear to the person on the phone, its not their fault, talk to them in a manner that you would like to be spoken to, and I think you'll have a much better result!

Not saying you would anyway Anna!!

Just from my experience in my role, when people yell and swear they get nowhere, being very polite and nice to me gets them along way

Yup EXIF info on your pictures can be altered.

Gdluck with your case and let us know what happens.

Theres so many pot holes around!!!! esp on princess hwy.. freaking HATE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well its a council problem. its not RTA as its not main rd...

i WAS supposed to be getting a call from the, today, but since i am extrememly busy today, i will call back tomorrow.

i drove past the crime scene before and without the water, MAN ITS DEEP!

thanks nick, i wont swear at them. im pretty good at being stern, but calm at the same time. i will push my case through :domokun: i hassa faith the council will pay!

That pothole is really nasty, hope the council will repair it for you. I have seen a few people complain of tyre/rim damage from potholes and was wondering, maybe its more likely if you have low tyre pressure?

I suggest this because I have been through hundreds of massive nasty potholes, on occasion it has sounded like the wheel is going to get torn off or similar to driving up a gutter, but have never damaged a wheel or tyre.

couldnt have been low tyre pressure. i only checked it 3days before hand. not to mention they are new tyres that had been on there for exactly 2 weeks and one day (well half). new tyres, correct pressure... hmm....

i think imma go back there and get a video of just how deep that hole is... both of them...

so, no phone call so far.. will call 2moro, and be like "rah"

Have you got a picture of the damaged part on the tyre? Interested to see how nasty it looks!

no :) i forgot to take a photo of that! it ripped a hole in the rubber and was split open :( wish i did tho

ok so no phone call today... :D

will be calling them tomorrow... :)

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
