GRR! Warning - There is a big ass hole in the road coming from Bathurst --> Sydney, at a place called Hartley, opposite one of the few speedcams on the road.

The hole(s) were big enough for me to nose in, bash all 4 wheels and severely dent both front alloys, with one requiring repairs (if possible) - have not dared take the rears off yet.

(Have had both fronts rebalanced, but one of the alloy's may not be circular anymore)

Anyone got a Tommy Kiara alloy about? Silver 6 spoke?

<------- see picture

ffs.

I will try sending the bill to the RTA. god knows if i'd ever get anything. This is the main road ffs! ...

Yup I know about that one :P I see it each week when I come back from bathurst... i dodge them every week :D

if you're heading towards sydney it's kinda just after the tight hairpins and 45k zone.. and then the big straight climb uphill...

it's horrible.. i hit them once before and luckily most of the time i'm following someone home and they dodge it and remind me the potholes are there!

but there is a few biggish potholes.. there's some on the mt victoria pass too!

Theres a pot hole that my dad drives through everyday in his beemer. its a god-awful bone jarring pothole. It's on the Pacific highway, after the mowbray rd junction, outside peugot/sabb dealership. he took it for a service and they commented how the springs on the left side sagged a bit compared to the right. he avoids the hole now :P

Zebbie, sorry to hear of that damage. It sucks teh wang big time.

Definatley get a photo of the hole, photos of the damage. ask workshop to sign a letter say that the wheel requires replacement, get a price on a replacement wheel and then send it (with a letter from you) to whoever is responsible for that piece of road.

Richard

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
