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

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
