Don't pretend you didn't live there 2 weeks ago lol

Also, those speed bumps are a pain in the ass and f**king expensive to put there too. Heard a few years ago that creating a slip lane at a traffic light costs about $100k in materials and labour.

And agree, some people just love to complain...it makes their existence feel a bit more justified when they run out of productive things to do with their lives.

And you know the Roundabout on Morack Road and George Road?

That was meant to be bigger so that busses could go around it, but to save money and avoid cutting into the nature strip (aka, buying back land from the corner property) they said F%&k it and just made the roundabout a low profile one so that bus could drive stright over it :P

And people still don't know how to indicate properly there, lol

Birds/Odium - pretty sure we can come to the conclusion that vermont has to be up there with one of the most heavily speed-bumped suburbs in victoria lol
f*cking hate driving to the mrs place because of it haha

I remember when George road was dirt. Fark I am old.

The speed hump idea has been going on for years around that area, like you say, it slows drivers down, then they have to speed up again. Not very environmentally friendly. The greenies should be all over it.

Recently randomly pulled over by TMU after leaving a kebab shop near cnr Warrigal & Dandenong Rds around 11pm. Completely behaving myself.

Short story was that the officer's comment made was that if I had another vehicle in the garage, to bring that one out next time.

Car was a stock Polo GTI.... seriously??

I took away from that there's a hoon issue on Dandy road and they're sending out a message.

    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
    • lights are on just the one click.  
    • Absolutely matters because, while a temperature change will eventually reach a sensor at the end of a static line, the response time is far far far too slow to be useful. Might as well not have a temp gauge at all.
    • When I was eyeing off the 370GT (after deciding I didn't want to spend 30-40k+ to relive my early 20s in an R33) I thought it'd be a good project to add a turbo to it. Now that I have a 370GT, and I've had a couple of chances to open it up, I'm pretty stunned by how much power it makes 🫠 Honestly, the way the VVEL opens it up, it almost feels like there's a little turbo tucked away in there somewhere. It's like Nissan looked at VTEC and said "hold my beer" 😁 Has anyone thrown a turbo into their 370Z or 370GT? Is there a conservative boost level you can run without having to upgrade the fuel system, or are bigger injectors and a bigger pump a given?
