Long story short, there is burst water main at mill point road that has eroed the freeway and freeway is closed at this point.

Suggest you call transperth as we've just heard that some bus routes are getting through whilst others have been cancelled.

Traffic is litterally parked atm and they are trying to divert onto Mill Point Road... we all know at the best of times its not really a nice intersection... :rant:

suggest taking another way home tonight. :wave:

To all who are unaware, there are major traffic problems that have occurred because of two burst large water mains.* One is on the Kwinana freeway at the intersection of Mill Point Road which is causing major traffic congestion.* The Freeway is closed and will be all night as traffic is diverted into South Perth.* Traffic at last report was banked up past Glendalough Station on the Mitchell.

The other is in William St in the City which is also closed.* The combination of these has created havoc with the transport system as a whole throughout the outer City areas and personnel are advised to consider their best alternative route home.

Kwinana Freeway heading south at Mill Point Road is flooded. All

southbound lanes are blocked to traffic.

All northbound lanes open.

We are advising motorists to exit at Great Farmer Freeway or Mill Point

Road.

Restricted access vehicles are not approved to use the Graham Farmer

Freeway.

It would be prudent to divert Restricted access vehicles off the freeway

prior to the flooding at either Hutton Street or Leach Highway.

Traffic is extremely heavy on the approach to the flooded area.

Emergency crews are on site directing traffic.

there is a semi trailer caught in the middle of the flooding, right at

the mill point road exit southbound. It is fully laden with bricks and

stones etc and is sinking into the road due to the waterlogging of the

road surface.

two friggin hours diverting down to freo and then back towards applecross was NOT fun. (and I left before 5pm to try and beat the rush - HA). Good thing I got TV in my car...and all those people who thought i'd never get a chance to watch it...I'll have you know I watched the entire 5pm news on 10, all of the channel 7 news at 6 and still caught a bit of neighbours...

there was also a bit of a pileup near UWA, intersection of Winthrop ave and Stirling hwy... i had to detour and take a scenic route thru Kings park just to get thru to Subiaco. I came out on the other side of Rokeby rd and cars were piled up to there. So that means the line on Winthop went from Stirling hwy up past Sir Charlies and past Rokeby rd. that was awful.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving.

      What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By JC71 · Posted

      looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
