Hey Aaron, you drive a lot through there, what the fork is happening????

A bloody idiot caravan escaped from a B double when he pulled out from the muster turnoff, Monday I think. (B-double wasn't quite so lucky)

Yesterday there were more fatalities involving 2-semis and a car.

Then on Tuesday I got stuck in a massive traffic jam South of Federal while the CES cleaned up from yet another crash.

One thing I did notice when driving through there on Wednesday was the 33 felt like it had a flat tyre. Stopped at Matilda to check and all good, it just felt wrong.

Any thoughts about the road surface???

Grigor,

Mate, your right, I go through there LOTS! Mostly I think there is a number of small things that add up. Usually people come unstuck due to a lack of concentration. But why in that area? I dunno..

I see it like this:

1: the road surface, even though it has been relayed a few times.. it does 'feel' odd.

2: its a wide flat road that gets a lot of dew and rain tends to just 'sit' on the road. So grime and oil does not get washed away.

3: driver fatigue, lots of people drive from Brizzy to Gympie in a hit, sadly lots dont make it.

4: Idiots doing dumb things in the wrong places! Bad passing, late braking.. no lights..

5: lots of coastal showers

6: Campher trees: these stupid pests of trees have some oil in their berries apparently. that section of road is lined with these trees for a few Km, on both sides. So, add it all together..

So, You get a winding, flat bit of crap road with oil on the surface, and the dew has not evaporated yet.. (or the rain).

Then people try and overtake to late, they bawke brake and nobody has a clue what they or anybody else are doing.

Suddenly it all comes apart.. and SMASH!

Thats how I see it, Just hang right back from the pack and wait. You will see exactly what I mean.

I drive a big coach through there and people in barina's try and play chicken with me..? What are they thinking? or not thinking?

My advice, keep good tyres on ya car, Stay at least 3 seconds behind the car in front. Avoid the drive in bad weather!

you want bad speed bumps...

go round the back of the albany creek tavern there are tripple speed bumps...

Its a joke, by the time your front wheels hit the third bump your rears are on the first bump and they tall bumps too...

Holy shit, went past there tonight, ( not in the skyline thank god, ) those things are insane. honestly, were they needed, lol

i also complained to main roads about the nudgee highway access road, and i got a call the next day saying they are evaluating the road, and if needed will re do it.

whats the bet nothing happens

Yeas, some people haven't a clue what damage "speed bumps" can do.

Here in hell town, there's massive road works. They had a 40k speed section and a stop-go man.

As the killer, they also had one of those fabricated steel speed bumps bolted to the road. You know the ones, you get them at shopping centres etc and you have to really crawl over them.

Unfortunately were all bumper-to-bumper thanks to the stop go man, so we didn't even see the speed bump until BANG.

You try hitting one of those bastards at 40.

    • Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25 The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing 
    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new  
    • Nissan needs to forget about building SUVs in every size possible and bring back the damn Silvia/200sx duo to compete with the 86/brz. Maybe with the Honda type r motor pointing the right way
