On the way into the city at around 7:45am, heading north.

Sign up saying Mill Point Rd exit was closed, reason: dark blue HSV commonwh0re had skidded across 3 lanes across some verge and (I think) into a pole head on, rear windows were smashed.

Then just on the other side of the narrows where all the lanes split up to go to Hay St & Mounts Bay Rd etc, two more cars off the road, one in the stripey white lines between two diverging lanes and another pointing the wrong way nose first down an embankment.

Not a cop in sight, just a couple of tow trucks.

A few Narrows escapes mes thinks :bahaha:

that millpoint exit is pretty dangerouse...

already claimed two life while back in porche 928...:)

I must say I take that corner way too fast... :P

but oneday if there is any oil spill then all the cars would skidd off the road end up head on pole or the brickwall.

so boyz and gals WATCH OUT Mill Point road EXIT!!

cheeers

yeah saw the blue vt on the left heading north 7:50am this mornin.. looked like a stolen car gone wrong, big fishy marks before its gone up kerb into pole. there was just a car there with orange lights flashing.

Wasnt that the Soccer player?

Yeh that commo really screwed it eh, skid marks across 2-3 lanes and WHAM!!!

On my drive home last nite i got followed for 3ks by cops right behund me and then ass i got off the freeway someone ran a red like a complete tool as i was goin through then i had various other stoopid drivers all in the space of 30mins!!! evil nite to be on the road.

The one down the embankment has been there for days, im stuffed if i can tell how it got there either. no marks, looks like they tried to do a runner form the cops and got stuck, judging by the sticker in the windscreen..

Most corners would be pretty dangerous if doing speeds in excess of 200k's. I'm pretty sure thats the speed the porsch was doing.

Sticker has only been there since around 3pm saturday i think, i drove past that car about 12 times this weekend.

So is the fence in south perth all destroyed? thats what happened last year, ppl makin their own onramps.

aye saw that busted up commodore there on sunday morning as well.. wasnt there saturday night.. Was tempted to go back get some pics and see what parts i could salvage ;)

Hope the passengers/driver were ok..

That VL's been there for a while.. 1st time i saw it spun me out. Another tempter to get the car trailer load it up and run off :P

    • That's kind of what I was getting at saying you'd be here soon regarding length etc being able to add additional restriction.  My assumption (possible donkeys of you and mption) is that the length of hose to an oil cooler, and back, isn't going to be that huge of a loss. Typically you're talking about 1.5m of total length. And so far everyone in our world hasn't had issues with oil not being able to get to a cooler and back, it's more been, how the heck do we get the oil out of the head and back down to the bottom? I'd nearly hazard a guess the biggest issue people have with oil cooling and oil supply, is being able to get the heat out at the cooler itself (not enough air flow, too small of a cooler etc) Also, when people mount them wrong and make really awesome air traps so they've dramatically diminished the cooling capacity.
    • I will rebutt this and the preceding point from Dose....but without doing any calcs to demonstrate anything and without knowing that I am right or wrong. But... The flow capacity of a fluid transfer system is not limited by the smallest orifice or section of conduit in that system, unless it is drastically smaller than the rest of the system. OK, I use the word drastically perhaps with too much emphasis, but let's drill down on what I really mean. The flow capacity of the system is the result of the sum of the restrictions of the entire system. So, to make an extreme example, if you have a network with 3" pipe everywhere (and let's say a total length of only a few metres) and that 12mm ID restriction of the oil filter connection being the obvious restriction, then for any given amount of pressure available, the vast majority of all the pressure drop in the system is going to occur in the 12mm restriction. But.... increase the length of the 3" pipeline to, say 1000m, and suddenly the pipe pressure loss will likely add up to either be in the same order of magnitude, possibly even exceeding that of the 12mm restriction. Now the 12mm restriction starts to matter less. Translate this to the actual engine, actual oil cooler hose sizing, etc etc, and perhaps: The pressure loss caused by flowing through the narrow section (being the 12mm oil filter port, and perhaps any internal engine oil flow pathways associated with it) is a certain number. The pressure loss through, say, -12 hoses out to the cooler and back is negligible, but The pressure loss through -10 hoses out to the cooler, at the exact same length as the above, starts to become a decent fraction of the loss through the 12mm stuff at the filter port. Maybe even it starts to exceed it. I could actually do these calcs if I knew 1) how much oil was actually flowing in the line, 2) gave enough of a f**k to do things that I hate doing for work, voluntarily for a hypothetical discussion. Anyway - I reiterate. It's not the narrowest port that necessarily determines how much it can all flow. It is the sum. A long enough length of seemingly fat enough pipe can still cause more loss than a semmingly dominant small bore restriction.
    • To pick up what Dose is putting down. Not a lot of point running a huge hose if the motor is still restricted to the smaller size... It's only capable of flowing so much at that point...   *Waits for GTSBoy to come in and bring in the technicalities of length of pipe, and additional restriction from wall friction etc etc*
    • Hooley Dooley these things have some history! If i sell them they will need a certificate of providence to prove they have been in the hands of verified RB20 royalty! They have been stored in a plastic tub, away from sunlight and moisture. They are in mint condition. And they will stay that way, as i have sprung the money for a set of shockworks coilovers. I'm just working on getting them in at the moment, after rebushing the rear of the car, and while the subframe was out i welded in the GKtech reinforcement bracing as well.  They will get a workout at Ararat King of The Hill in November. I ran 48s on the short course there a few months ago, and i am hoping with new bushes and shocks in the rear i can launch a bit harder. There was a fair bit of axle tramp when i tried too hard off the line. a few of the corners had dips mid way which also made the car feel a bit unsettled, hopefully this will help there too.
