i hear the same crap every morning.....

the kwinana is busy from canning hwy and the mitchell is busy from scarborough bch rd..... those stupid reporters need to get some new material, maybe report on some new roads rather than repeating the same sh*t every morning!

i hear it while im at work :)

if the same roads are busy... wouldnt that mean everyone is taking the same route, and not listening to the reports?

regardless of which route you take, the quicker route is usually busy, and the longer route is slower...

"The Mitchell Freeway heavy, Hutton Street to Scaborough Beach Road"

I hear that every morning, I don't think they even do a check, they just say it. I leave for work at the same time every day and its different all the time....

me and my mate are constantly trying to find quicker ways to get to uni in peak traffic. We live close too (North Perth) so its kind of like a challenge to see who gets the quickest route, regardless of distance, to uni at say, just before 9am :no:

Cos the mounts bay rd off-ramp coming from north is a b!tch and all :)

but regarding the radio... i dont listen to the radio. period.

I listen to triplej, so I dont' get traffic reports :P

however when I'm in workmates cars (carpool ftw) and at work I hear them, only any good if there has been a big accident, or like when that guy jumped off the Hutton st bridge about a year ago (didn't he know how much inconvenience it would cause? :ninja:) They are mainly there for advertising, after saing how the roads are there is always an ad for something that the reporter announces, sounds really cheesy, too, they spend more time speaking out the ad that the actual traffic report.

It's always the same lines too - "Kwiniana is busy in the usual spots, Mitchel is busy from Hepburn Ave to Vincent St". It would be better so say "Kwinana is still clear at the moment, and Waneroo is busier than Mitchel..." or something like that - take it for granted that we know where it'll be busy allready.

I'm always driving accross or against the flow, so I laugh at them each day... well not maliciously, but smugly anyway.

Up marmion, along Whitfords (actually that can get busy until after the freeway), then up Waneroo... past Prindaville Drv (coz everyone else turns there), and up Buckingham.

I don't even listen to the radio anymore - just put a CD on...

      I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.

      It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...

      I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.

      Has anyone put in brand new full carpet? (not floor mats)

      By PotatoCake · Posted

      Doing a refresh of my 33 and can see a few websites stating they sell the entire main carpet for our cars, but they all have generic photos which is fine, i understand they are custom made to order.  Just seeing if anyone has got it done or had any experience with this, as i would only want to do it if the fit and finish was as good as oem https://carmatsdirect.com.au/products/moulded-carpet-or-vinyl-for-nissan-skyline-r33-1993-1998-coupe https://knoxautocarpets.com.au/moulded-carpets/nissan/skyline/skyline-r-33-1993-1998/
