Its not about what I like or dont like, I didnt vote for them. Jay Weatherill or Mike Rann, its just same shit, different bucket.

I guess I'm just curious about what you think is going to happen with exsisting legislation (derived from policies) with a liberal government, my bet is nothing.

Which policies don't you like?

Don't like the New hospital, Spend 3 billion in the existing hospital and you would get a better outcome.

Don't like the Super express way, complete waste of $950,000,000.

Don't like the tram extension, Supposed to service AAMI Stadium, but by the time it gets there the footy will be played at Adelaide oval.

I don't even agree with the Adelaide oval redevelopment, i think they are ruining what was a historic cricket ground.

On a side note, i just got myself one of these;

dale,

the hospital needs to be ditched. the old one is bad, my partner works there and its a nightmare..

trams, expressway, oval is all bullshit.

we cant fill aamii stadium and they built all the bus lanes etc.. such a waste, and adelaide oval is looking more and more like shit.

In regards to the hospital the new one was much needed. RAH is just too frickin old. As with the everything else this government has taken on is a blatant waste of money. I went to the Adelaide Sevens earlier this year and no one wanted to sit in the new grand stands. Everyone that I knew wanted to sit in the chappel stands lol.

Superway is a joke, i work right next to it and its painful!! limited access around Wingfield, and its gonna be like this if not worse for the next 3 years!

3 years - Jebus

Mate feel your pain, i work on cormac road and have to try to avoid it all at all costs.....

I disagree about the Superway - yes it is a pain now, but when it is done it will free up one of the worst peak hour intersections immensely. Next they need to fix how the turning lanes from Grand Junction onto Port Wakefield Road work (they need 2 turning lanes) .... and then fix the Bridge Road/Grand Junction Road corner. Noth of these intersections are part of the recent new truck ring route, but both have had no regard paid to the massive increase in truck and pasenger car traffic - especially since most are coming/going on the Nexy.

But yes, last I heard the idiots in power want to make the exciting RAH site (once demolished) an open park - ffs the city is ringed by parklands .... why not just demolish the existing RAH completely and build the new one there. Imagine how much cheaper it would be not to have to reclaim the train track land and build suspended a concrete slab over it. Insanity. And watch them blow out the budget for it by triple by the time they are done.

It wasn't originally supposed to go there though. And i would say that the section between Pym St and Grange road is worse and the section past castle plaza is even worse again.

The project (express-way) was originally supposed to go between Pym st section and Grange road to reduce the issues that that section has (power line next to the road and the pavment needing to be redone anyway, etc) that is why the 950 mil budget was given. They discovered later that there was a sub station that wasn't going to be moved which basically put an end to it the original location, but rather than scrap the project because it wasn't going to achieve it's original goal, they moved it up the road where it isn't needed.

And what they are going to achieve now is that they are going to make the original problem worse because they are speeding up the traffic to the original problem area.

when i was looking they were about to release the 4g. that was 2 weeks ago. so wuld have been out by now..

i would have got it but im with optus!

and steve i watched that yesterday when i signed up to xda... LOL

    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.      
    • It sounds like you want what the Toyota Landcruisers have for their roof racks. Wanna know what you end up with? Rust holes in the roof, and water everywhere...
    • Discovered today that if I select reverse first and take my foot off the brake, then select drive, the drive indicator light works and so does the tiptronic gear indicator. 
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Does anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
