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

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
