Very soon, I need to pick up someone from the airport (85 kms from home) - and it's preferable that I use the Skyline.

My 'Line bodykit is legally over the 100mm height limit (- just) but after testing out the domestic airport drive-thru' with my daily, I recognise that the lip of my 'Line, even at an angle, may not survive a thorough scraping. Here ends the rant!

Can anyone tell me that Sir Charles Kingsford Smith Drive has done damage to your front lip?

Might as well make use of this thread if you think it's worth mentioning > warning others of "Vicious Speed Humps" on secondary or main roads in your area too, do you think?

How about listing...

a) state/territory

b) suburb/town

c) street name

Might be a silly suggestion after all, if there are too many - even tho' I can edit. I seem to recall stuffing up my front spoiler on my Alfetta GTV many years ago too from a Maitland cross-street.

NSW, Canterbury Rd, Canterbury, coming from Campsie towards Canterbury, in the left hand lane past a car wash and petrol station, a bit further down there is a really really steep ditch in the ground, no warnings nothing, just where the road collapsed, nearly took my front bumper off, been like that for over 2 years now.

NSW, Cronulla, Cronulla St/ Nicholson Pde going towards cronulla station, random bump on the road, where if you have coilovers or hardened springs/ shocks, your car will jump or fly. and if lowered, will hit ground.

"DANGEROUS" NSW, Lewisham, Old Canterbury Rd/Longport Rd, when going towards parramatta rd, right at the traffic lights of those 2 streets, a HUUUGE bulge in the road, i hit it with 50 while the speed limit was 60, on stock stagea suspension and all my indicator sticks on the side of my steering wheel got knocked down. BEWARE OF THAT BULGE!!!!!!!!!

none of these places have any warning signs etc you have to find out the hard way. so beware!

NSW...

Mascot

Middlemiss St.... do not ever go down this street... its a backstreet off Botany Road and you WILL lose your exhaust in the process...

Rolfe St .... It is not a speed hump it is mount everest.... do not even attempt the hump on this street

Stay away from Mascot in general.... the humps here are gg

VICTORIA

Fountain gate, fountain gate shopping center in the underground carpark....

....ouch, not only did i not see one and hit it hard with stiff suspension, but i did it a second time shortly after, i slapped myself

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
