Theres this one f**king pot hole at innaloo opposite fitness first that keeps on popping up and getting refilled. I have nearly fell into it a few times when driving my car.

Anyway i saw some dude in a supra fall into it . get out of his car and was like ULLLEEEH WTF FFF WTFF FFUUUUUU for like 30minutes when his rear bar had a scratch/exhaust..

The pot hole is like a meter long by 50cm. enough for a tyre, and i never see the big chunk of removed bitumen around when its a pothole? WTF is it.

Takes them like f**king 7 days to fill it too.

Mill point ramp to Kwinana northbound.

Annoying bump towards the bottom of the ramp I need to brake for. It's a big metal 'joint' in the road between sections.

Lol that reminds me of the above ground parking near Ace Cinemas in Midland. They have those metal things to cover the wiring, but turns out they are also a real intense speed bump. They make them so pointy it is almost a little wall lol

i've got the winner guys, if you have ever used a GPS to go down to Prevelly(in Margaret River) it takes you down this sorta backstreet, ALL 6KM OF IT is potholes, took me 25mins to drive through it in my Aristo, which i had just picked up less than 2 weeks before (coilovers with stiff as springs and 19's with 35 profile tires) it was so dam horrendous!! felt like i was going to rattle the car apart! you eventually get to this intersection, the road wasnt on the map, but i wasnt going to torture my missus, my car or myself any longer, turns out that turn off i took led me to the place directly, stupid GPS!

Dunno how many of you have been to Mundaring and Chidlow, that sort of area, but it is f**king terrible up there. And they always fix the part of the road that doesn't need to be fixed, like there will be one little pot hole and they will dig up a 20 meter section of road and repave it all, while 1km further down the road there is a section with pot-holes the size of Europe and corrugations like the alps, and they never fix those bits! F ucking Mundaring shire :banana:

Man Its Chidlow LOL What Do U Expect, at leat mundaring fill theres up 6 months later lol

John sanders dve between harbourne at and selby st north, head west along that

stretch of road in the rh lane with a kitted or low enough car and wait for the bottom out

then there's another heading north along harbourne st inthe left lane as your coming

up to the Audi dealer, it drops down then bang, straight back up

and finally if you're quick enough to get the green light and want to live the fast and furious

moment you can sing thru the lights at Hepburn and wanneroo heading west, mate hit

that in his vl too quick once and a spring dropped out :(

Anyone that fills up at BP in midland? All those speed bumps and pot holes and small but steep hills that kill lowered cars in between the BP and the Thirsty Camel? Yeh that area is intense!

I wish he F**k they'd do something about that. If you come into the drive thru from the east there is no other straight line out but over the second worst speed hump in the Perth metro!!!!!

I wondered when someone would mention that stretch. John at Wheels World uses that strip as a test track to setup suspensions & coilovers, so basically if your not setup correctly you'll bottom out.

Haha yeah was always a fun spot to hit before I got coilovers

there's also a point my mate beached his commodore on pulling into the deli down the road from

the police station on scab beach rd, haha I had to get out and rock his car onto the back wheels

Worst potholes are the ones where you actually know they are there but u forget while driving over them. You cringe while saying farrrk saaake.

And for south of river people, holla if u been to hungry jacks carpark in spearwood lately. That shet should be a testing ground for 4wd's. you got speed humps that when u try to dodge and go around, ur car actually falls into a dark abyss. should be called the new bermuda triangle. But dont fix it ay, oh great council you. All these missing people out there in the world.. they should be searching for them at hungry jacks spearwood.

      Borg Warner EFR Series Turbo's V 2.0

      By Borci88 · Posted

      Bit of an update to this one. Having some issues on the dyno that held us back (boost spiking) and I want to pass some info over you guys and see what you think is wrong with my setup. The current readout on this dyno is 462rwkw on a low reading dyno so keep in mind it is a real world 500rwkw setup on a hub dyno. Don't read into the power figure too much as a sign of the issue. The short and curly of it is: 2.8 Litre Racepace build RB25 NEO N/A Head with VCT (internally standard however ) Borgwarner EFR 8474  Turbosmart 50mm Straight Gate + Mac valve 6Boost Manifold 4" dump to full 4" exhaust (nil restrictions) Wastegate plumbed back in and all angles in the exhaust system are acceptable and not too sharp. GFB SV52 BOV in cooler piping  Turbosmart BOV in EFR Housing   The issue we are having is it comes onto full boost for example at 4000rpm and spikes to 24/25psi, before dropping down to 17psi before slowly rising back up to the target boost of 23psi. It was extremely uncontrollable and the tuner actually had to ramp in boost progrssively with each 1000rpm on each boost setting we selected to try and reduce the amount of spiking. Sometimes we would see a drop of 10psi from the peak at the beginning of the run, to the low, until it took the next 500-1000rpm to stabilise back up to the target boost. The tuner is pretty confident that the straight gate is just a poorly designed product and leaks too much boost upon cracking the gate open and theres no way to fix it other than going to a poppet valve. He's also confient theres no ignition breakdown or floating valves. The fueling is extremely stable as well. Turbo speed is somewhere around the 109,000rpm area. The spanner in the works for me is that prior to this Borgwarner and StraightGate, the car was tuned on -5 twins at a diferent tuner, and he also had issues controlling the boost with it spiking around the same rpm range, so to me this sounds like the same issue and it can't be anything on the turbo side as this was all changed and I think the behaviour is extremely similar, if not the same. We also removed the mac valve and did a run on wastegate pressure and it still spiked and had the same behaviour. My thoughts on possibilities are: Boost Leak VCT Cam Gear isn't reliably activating consistently - (On this however, we did a run with the VCT disabled and the boost still spiked) Turbosmart BOV is not handling the boost? However this seems unlikely to not be able to handle 20psi. I have a couple of logs that I can't make sense of if anybody knows how to read them and can obtain further logs of other parameters if they are not enough, happy to pay for anyones time. The dyno readout with the power figure is the most recent last week. The other picture is from two weeks prior to that where we couldn't break 400kw (we removed the cat), however the issue of the boost control persisted. @Lithium @Piggaz @burn4005 @GTSBoy @discopotato03 I've tagged those that were quite active in recent pages here, no disrespect to those that know turbos well but I missed tagging.

      Infiniti Q60 Navigation Update

      By Chocolate Cheesecake. · Posted

      I recently purchased a 2018 Infiniti Q60, which has an SD card navigation map. I can see my system has options for real time traffic updates etc, and am wondering if there is something I can purchase to get this working? I can see there are at least updated maps for USA and Canada, but nothing for Australia. Surely Infiniti took changing road systems and city expansions into account when they decided to use an inbuilt navigation over Android Auto/Apple Car Play, or are we doomed to drive on streets that don't exist in the navigation system if you drive to a new area?

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Luckily I didn't put in etch primer as I just found out it's not compatible with my body filler lol. Also just need to sand the panel anywhere between 150-400 grit so I'm in the clear there. It does say to not apply to soft old paint, I assume that means paint that is flaking, peeling,etc
