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.

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

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"

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.

      I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.

      Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.

      Noobie Stagea owner..

      Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
