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:

-miss pie

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...

I went thru that water at around @1pm today and was only crawling thru traffic for like 4mins.Everybody was going single lane style closest to the wall.Funny to see but not for the peeps houses.

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.

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
