Goodbye Thebarton.

The SA Water site at Thebarton, opposite Bonython Park is being demolished as I type this.

The government says they'll make it into more parklands, but I reckon it'll turn into a high-rise apartment block.

It won't be private land, there are very strict regs regarding use of that boundary around the city. I'm not sure why they're ripping out trees along there near Wheelworx though. I think there was talk somewhere of widening roads.

It might be for the pipeline they're laying down now? Which is apparently for the Glenelg-Adelaide pipeline, which runs through here.

It was a serious waste of money extending it to North Tce :D

Agreed. Apart from people inside the government, most people think the tram elongation was a waste of time.

Back in the old days, the tram used to run down o'connell st, then they got rid of it. Would've made more sense to extend the tram to North Adelaide IMHO

-D

Yeah, but the cost of $12M+, combined with the disruption to traffic in an around the new tram line, added to the fact that it replaced a very serviceable free bus service that did exactly the same job = mega fail.

Need I remind you that Terry/Bill et al who want to do the Garden Island drag strip only asked the state govt for $10M to which they gave the massive thumbs down.

Misallocated resources so it looks like Mike Bland is actually doing something - other than kissing babies and taking credit for the previous Liberal government's setup of Defense contracts and Mining projects ....

Their ultimate plan is to have the tram running a loop around Adelaide, going up West Tce and along South Tce.

I reckon it'd be good for the city. Look at how well it works in Melbourne!

I reckon that shit was pulled out nigh on 40 years ago, cos Adelaide's roads are not conducive to trams and they disrupt traffic too much. They had the brains to take out nearly every tram line in Adelaide back in the 1960's - and these idiots want to put them back in?

Imagine trams buggering up West and East Terrace - those roads are bad enough now, without losing an lane and not being able to turn at certain places .... would suck ass.

Works well for us folks who work in Victoria Square and catch a train in :D

walk u lazy bugga :huh: i used to work at vic square and i usually found it faster just to walk to work instead of waiting for a damn tram

if you eva seen anyone rollerblading in a business suit in the morns that was me :D

i wouldnt say melbournes trams work that great, looked like a mess to me

Cmon man It'll never work

People in this city are so stupid they cant negotiate a simple 2 lane roundabout (TTP/Britannia)...

What makes u think theyre gonna be capable of the concept of a hook turn? :D lols

dude Im a mega braniac and even I dont understand bloody Hook turns !! :D:huh::D;)

I guess the Melbourne tram lines look like a whole lot of spaghetti, but it just looks more efficient than one bus going around the city, that runs every 5-10 minutes and gets held up in traffic, like what we have?

Talking about traffic, anyone traveled on the South Road/Anzac Highway underpass? Traffic coming back to South, turning from Anzac onto South Road have to wait to merge in with traffic coming from the North on South road! It's banking up the traffic even worse.

But hooray for making the tram line that crosses South Road into a bridge, so the tram goes over the road... that banks up traffic every morning and night.

    • 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.
    • 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/
    • Any plans for E85? If so, add flex fuel sensor.   I'd probably add in the sensors I mentioned above if the Link will support using them for engine protection. With water pressure, you need to be able to effectively set it that "If temp > X, and pressure = atmospheric, shutdown" as at running temp, you should be able to read pressure in the cooling system. If pressure suddenly disappears, it means the water went some where, and this is a quicker reaction than waiting on water temp to go up (Which, can take a little longer than you'd like, considering it now has to wait for hot air to heat it up) Oil pressure, Oil temp, both would be on my list too if you're looking to add sensors. Wideband O2. And at least one EGT sensor. If you're feeling deluxe, put in individual runner EGTs. Single EGT sensor is more so forget about a specific number, get used to "What is normal EGTs", and then keep an eye on it, if it starts going away from "normal" it's a sign something is wrong (Also, things like the tune can still start going out of spec, but EGTs may not show it, for example one injector starts running leaning, so ECU richens everything up, now 5 out of 6 cylinders are rich, and running cool, with one cylinder lean and running hotter, so it's not perfect) Then there is your other things to look at non sensor related, but you may have already done, or have underway, and that would be things like building a sump for more oil, and better oil control under high G-Forces (Cornering, brakes, acceleration). Basically, the above is worth looking/thinking about, if the ECU can do protective stuff with it, and you continue to use it how you are (Drive it to the track, thrash it, drive home, repeat once every 3 to 4 months)
    • Can also confirm these work a treat for most balljoints and bushes. If you have access to a big rattle gun, they make the job so much easier and quicker, compared to using a socket wrench or shifter on the c-clamp 👍
    • Its sort of street but got used for circuit sprints on account of I never drive it on the road because I dont have the time to spare. So it usage was sits around for months at a time then gets driven either 50 or 250 kms to the track followed by 20 laps followed by 50 or 250kms home followed by stuck in the shed until next time. So yeah neither fish nor fowl. Just dont want to break it on the track as a preference. Hence the fairly short sensor/mod list. Probably more worried about it pinging itself to destruction more so than anything oil related.
