I agree Adelaide's roads are a joke, but dislike it when people blame the roads in the event of a high speed accident. The roads are designed and made, and kept (tho sometimes poorly) for the speed limit posted for that particular road. Of course doing 150kph in a 60 zone 'bumpy' road is going to end in disaster. If the road was the only contributing factor to an accident, then go ahead, blame the road condition. But if high speed, drugs, and stupidity are involved ... its lame to blame the road's minor part in the accident.

However, I do wonder how many minor accidents (multi car or single) have been caused due to poor road care. I know my bike crash last year was due to a crappy road. But I don't whinge about it, these things happen.

South Road, O'Halloran Hill ... Port Road ... Lonsdale Road are good examples of crap roads that are potentially dangerous. Lonsdale Road is so bad, they lowered the speed limit, rather than fix the road. :D

I don't think anyone's blaming the road conditions for high speed/stupid driving accidents, but surely some of the minor incidents have been caused by road conditions.

I broke a RHF strut in a 60 zone because of a pot hole I didn't see!

they just had the minister for road safety on the radio

he thinks having a drag strip is the wrong aproach, as it just encourages hoon behaviour...

he thinks the right approach is counceling, to get the picture accross the cars are not toys, or hobbys..

this prick needs a bullet.

What a twat. Many MILLIONS of people around the world of all ages wouldnt agree.

I reckon he's on the right track though. He went a bit far saying they should NOT been seen as a hobby, but I think he's on the ball with counselling. Single out the people who drive their cars recklessly to show off and show them that their hooby or their toy (their car) is not a harmless thing they can do whatever they want with. Don't try to get rid of their interest in cars, try to get them to respect their hobby/toy as something that could kill them.

If they toned down on the sensationalism when they talk of hoons there is some half reasonable ideas in there.

but if they dont include their 99% of sensationalist bullshit, people like ethel and george wont vote for certain media crazed pollies next election.

by the way, i turn 21 today, so ill probably be in town on the piss tonight, if anyone wants to join in, lemme know.

(yes, i am aware its a monday, yes, i am aware town is usually rather quiet on a monday, no i dont really care)

Yeah, they certainly have the priorities well in order.

Joyous 21st anniversary of vaginal extraction Dave :banana:

Hey guys,

Do any of you know if R34 GTR Injectors will go into a R32GTR fuel rail. I heard something about maybe the wiring plugs being different but I am not sure myself.

Posting in here because I don't think there needs to be another pointless thread

You asked this question only yesterday. If you want to know, ask in the 'performance/modification' section. SAU-SA is a relatively small part of the entire board and the people who know are more likely to frequent the national mechanical threads.

Some interesting posts on the advertiser site about the incident on the wkend/

Noticed a few members on here wrote something.

I thought Id write something myself./

Some educated and for once not one sided write ups were published.

Saw you in there a couple times doh mar.

hear people saying on the radio about crushing cars ect ect, just meanswhen someone does something stupid they people will just run and then probably kill a family or something! so over hearing old people say about hoons when half them cant drive!

    • I can't agree. If we hadn't all been brought up with the noise caused by the inefficiency of an ICE, no-one would actually ask for all that. An EV is like any other car, it just goes better. 
    • 2 more things I have to work out Easy one first...can anyone describe how to pull the fuel pump and sender from a 33? I can feel there is some sort of mount and clips but don't have a manual and don't know the trick......if not I'll spend some quality time in the boot witha lighter tomorrow. Second question is harder.  He had changed the upper plenum to a plazmaman but clearly got to a point with the vacuum hoses where he said "f**k it, I'm going inside for a beer" and never came back to that job because it was a mess. Am I right to think that I need: 1. Pre throttle (16mm nipple on inlet) to AAC's main 20mm fitting as the main pre throttle feed 2. ACC has a second 13m outlet joined to that 20mm fitting which I think is the pre throttle air supply for the cold start valve? 3. Cold start valve's outlet fitting then goes to Plenum (to bypass throttle?) There is some adapter on the back of the ACC with 2 fittings (13mm and 10mm), do I run the 10mm through a 1 way valve to the Brake Booster (4) and the 13mm back to a 13mm nipple on the Plenum as the Idle control (5)? 6. Run a 6mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart BOV to the Plenum? 7. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Fuel Pressure Reg to the Plenum? 8. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart Boost controller to the Plenum? (Wastegate already has a pre turbo pressure source running to the solenoid then the wastegate on the other side of the bay)  Any help appreciated, the GTR is quite different setup and while the Stagea also has FFP it is different again. (And no Dose, I'm not pissing it all off and putting a ethrottle on it....)
    • OK, onto some questions to try and speed up the process a little. Does anyone know what core this Garret is? I know it is a high flowed standard turbo but nothing else about it. Tag says OK 0169J - 446179-5032 Same question for the injectors, I don't know what they flow and ideally can work it out before it hits the dyno, they are a mustard yellow side feed
    • Quick side trip into the engine externals, alternator and PS were in place including tensioned belts, but the PS was dry (my guess is he had the steering rack reco-ed). Filled it up with Transmax Z but it will need more bleeding once the engine is running no doubt. BTW I've said before, I don't know what kind of soft animals you have in the city, but out here they breed the rats tough. I bet they were disappointed when they tasted synthetic ATF.... Coilpacks are Splitfires with a factory loom in reasonable condition. I didn't pull one put I bet the spark plugs are new as its a new engine
    • Onto intake pressure test. I have a Raceworks (damn brand thieves!) pressure test adapter that lets you apply pressure through a standard tyre valve and comes with a pressure gauge.....I just blocked off the other end immediately before the throttle body. Applied 30psi....and the turbo intake immediately popped off with a bang. Sorted that but it was still leaking, turns out there is a pinhole leak at the BOV adapter that I'll have to find a local place to TIG up. I'm sure it makes SFA difference with such a small leak but I want it to be right. Everything else up to the throttle body was good. Also cleaned and oiled the KNX cone filter, and this is the AFM if anyone can identify it (car runs a PowerFC)
