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... :)

    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.
    • Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.   
    • Holy shit... wow!!! I totally missed this
    • One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
