The general idea with Illawarra and Alexander Drive is to avoid all together! Works for me. I just go around the long way, follow it to the end and get back onto Alexander Drive. Screw waiting at the lights, its a bit like going on a mini cruise by yourself :rofl:

Maybe I'm just too tired, but..

What to the end where? Lol both ends intersect with Alexander.

Edit: And I think lights at that bit are long overdue, it was terrible before that.

+1 for Nicholson Rd/Yale RAB and Leach/Tonkin intersection.

Also Ranford Rd near IGA (Canning Vale) so many ppl just run the intersection rather than giving way to people in the RAB.

My personal fav though is the dual lane RAB intersection Shenton Ave and Marmion. It works well in theory, but too many people just can't cope with dual lane RABs, so many accidents there!

Hutton St at the freeway entries/exits. Gets so busy sometimes, usually traffic gets banked up in one lane but not the other so people try turning across the road not being able to see if there is another car coming along in the other lane at a speed too fast for the conditions. Where do people get the idea that a green light means you are completely safe at an intersection and don't need to adjust your speed if there is shitloads of traffic banked up or even bother to check that an idiot isn't crossing when he shouldn't be?

Pretty sure the bike thing works on power too.. a mate had a 650cc dominator (road/trail) which is able to be used on a small bike license as it only had like 33kW.

Also, don't brake-check cops.. they'll do you for dangerous driving (another mate of mine got done for it).

I'm a good boy :down:

Not really an intersection, but there's a rather large pot hole on alexander drive which I hit today because the puddles were hiding it. Yay for almost ripping the tyre off.

Not a single intersection but any round abouts. . (the double lane ones)

Is it just me or does everyone on the outside lane ALWAYS cut into the inside lane and make you get really close to the roundabout?

I cant remember how many times this has happened to me and ive been forced up the curb on the inside of the roundabout. . happens just about every week. .

And like stinky rooster said, the roundabout on armadale rd. . Happens mostly there and the one further up in forrestdale (still on armadale rd)

STAY IN YOUR LANE!!!

I'll admit that I do this, but only if there isnt anyone in sight. Seriously, who is stupid enough to cut someone off? Thats just stupidity.

Also, its a 7 demerit point fine apparently, thats the other reason I only do it when no one is around ;)

Gnangara rd and Beechboro rd at peak hr, AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE!

I've had to hit the skids for a couple of noodles that turned infront of me while heading west on gnangara. And trying to get onto gnangara from beechboro is nearly impossible

I dont know about dangerous but my picks do require a little more vigilance.

Freeway overpass at Hutton st..clowns changing lanes in the turn, then is standard nonsense down to W.A.'s old shop

Walcott and Beaufort. Every yuppie for themselves

Mirrabooka and Reid. I don't know why but there is always evidence of carnage

Right turn exit off Kwinana to Canning...make up you minds ppl, are you going into the Raffles or not?

Leach from Northlake to the Freeway anytime after 3pm on a Friday...Indy 500 without the skillz.

And any place I ride my Triumph

I still fail to see how that's dangerous, all the accidents there are because people skip the lights. Fault of the people, not the intersection.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      You've just discovered a really good reason to tell yourself, yes, I do need to buy an aftermarket ECU. Put the MAF in the bin. Slap in the new ECU and have a think about what turbo sounds you prefer.  Do you want a 90's style BOV wooosh? Do you want a hektik tsututututu?  Mate, can't go wrong. Just gotta get that ECU and the world is your oyster.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Iam just curisou about this topic. I saw this video. It is about Greddy Type FV2. I know that BoVs are about that sound but how and when to use it? I read some topic here and from what i have understand on stock RB with MAF there will be some "problems" if you use this BoV? It vents the air in to the atmosphere and the MAF on stock car needs this air back in to the intake and not out? Or is it wrong? If so...i saw you can put some adaptor to circule air back...but does that not "loose" that sound? I saw another BoV from Turbosmart and it has two "exhaust" like ports? One is for the stock tubing for letting air back and one is for "sound" and let the air in the atmosphere? Can someone please explain? This is the Greddy one:  And this is the Turbosmart.     THANK YOU!! EDIT: So i read about this topic some more and i if i understand that correctly: That Greddy can function either like BoV or 100% Bypass valve? And that Turbosmart is what they called hybrid so you can adjust what and how many air can be vented out or back in? Is this right? THX!

      That dirty voltage drop is the culprit I suspect

      The Ls1 R33 Of Fury

      It's about time I start work on my sun tan. So I knocked up a few parts that will all combine together to become my new power steering reservoir. Now just to produce an abundance of UV and IR rays while melting a heap of bits of alu to become one... Well, that's after I put one more hole in it for the return line to plumb to. It likely won't be this weekend, as Sunday I'm meant to be in doing some last minute stuff to the AMG race car, and the weekend after will be filled with non my Skyline stuff, followed by Bathurst 6 hour. So I don't expect to get to melt metal for at least 3 weeks.   I also managed to stuff up and start cutting the hole for the res to pump pipe on the wrong side of the line... It means instead of the lines being nice and tight against the inner guard, they'll be out off the guard.    The size of it means I should end up with about 1.8L of power steering fluid, and still have space for another half a litre before it reaches the overflow/breather. This is wayyyyyyy more capacity than factory, which should help keep Powersteer oil temps lower, and the design hopefully allows it to prevent any aerated oil being able to makes its way down to the bottom as it'll have a couple of baffles and some hopeful trickery to force air bubbles away from the bottom.
