And Beer Baron, of Sydney, blamed the drivers for their choice of residence.

"Suck it up people, you want to move to the Central Coast deal with these issues," he said.

"How anyone would want to travel so far to and from work is beyond me. It was a petrol tanker people - if the thing had blown up and killed people you would still whinge ... Labor, Liberal, Nationals, Greens they are all the same and the result would have been no different."

Hahaha, good point there.

I used to live on the coast, although public transport was a joke, there was 2 sets of traffic lights between tuggerah and doyalson... it had its bad and good points.

Now the place sucks. Bogans driving around in their commodores... i am glad i escaped while i had the chance.

As for the F3, well... i find it you sit on 100k/hr you don't have a problem at all. until there is an accident.

For me, traveling 60kms each way to work is not a problem, i go through 3 sets of traffic lights between tuggerah and hornsby, u tell me somewhere in sydney that u can do that, I have worked in sydney all my life and lived on the coast, u get the problems of things like this happening.

Yes it was a petrol tanker, and another truck, 90% of MAJOR freeway closures are due to trucks f**king up. And most of these would not have anything to do with cars. Maybe its time that truck drivers under go more training or speed limits be lowered.

The place doesnt suck man, i work in sydney all day and then come home and its so peaceful on the coast, u can breathe easy and realy the area isnt over crouded like sydney.

$28 million dollars has been spent on the contra flow systems, and these wernt opened up until 8-9 hours after the accident happened..WTF..

Myself and Qantas were stuck in this.. finished work at 5 at hornsby and got home at 9.30 at tuggerah.. its a joke.

We were on the old road and we had a truck behind us.. i was leaving a 1 to 2 car gap and letting the car crawl in first, to save the clutch a bit, and this truckie was just CM off our back bumper, flashing his lights and honking the horn.. he of all ppl can see quite well that the traffic wasnt moving at all..

Well, thinking back on it... only the part between Wyong and Toukley sucks. I cannot comment on the rest of it. Lived there for 15 years of my life and I grew up with people that inhabit the area. I can tell you now that it has left a lasting impression on me.

As for the over-crowding - if only the council upgraded the infrastucture before opening up all the land releases...

I find it so funny everyone always dumping shit on the central coast, when it's such I pain in holidays and round xmass with all the city people running around our beaches, some people hate the coast but most people love it, if it was such a bogan place I can see why we get all the city siders here bothering us with there stupid ways time and time again.

I cant believe they spent so much money on the contra flow systems when its just some cross over points on the highway and some gates on the old pac...

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      By 25RBGT · Posted

      Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
