Speed Humps - Vicious Ones

[GTR-N1]

Very soon, I need to pick up someone from the airport (85 kms from home) - and it's preferable that I use the Skyline.

My 'Line bodykit is legally over the 100mm height limit (- just) but after testing out the domestic airport drive-thru' with my daily, I recognise that the lip of my 'Line, even at an angle, may not survive a thorough scraping. Here ends the rant!

Can anyone tell me that Sir Charles Kingsford Smith Drive has done damage to your front lip?

Might as well make use of this thread if you think it's worth mentioning > warning others of "Vicious Speed Humps" on secondary or main roads in your area too, do you think?

How about listing...

a) state/territory

b) suburb/town

c) street name

Might be a silly suggestion after all, if there are too many - even tho' I can edit. I seem to recall stuffing up my front spoiler on my Alfetta GTV many years ago too from a Maitland cross-street.

Are you talking about the part after you leave the domestic terminal area? Not exactly a speed hump (I think) but a huge up and down in the road?

[GTR-N1]

^^^ Yep, well, on the way out (as you say), it's a massive fu(kin watchamakallit

[eiresgaus]

Yeah that nearly killed me the other night in the rain - didn't even see it because of the reflection on the road nearly launched me off the ground!

Lucky its at an airport i spose...

QLD - pretty much anywhere inner city (milton road especially)

Brisbane roads are terrible full stop.

what about all those road plates they are like a speed hump and they just pop up randomly

[Bronx]

NSW, Canterbury Rd, Canterbury, coming from Campsie towards Canterbury, in the left hand lane past a car wash and petrol station, a bit further down there is a really really steep ditch in the ground, no warnings nothing, just where the road collapsed, nearly took my front bumper off, been like that for over 2 years now.

NSW, Cronulla, Cronulla St/ Nicholson Pde going towards cronulla station, random bump on the road, where if you have coilovers or hardened springs/ shocks, your car will jump or fly. and if lowered, will hit ground.

"DANGEROUS" NSW, Lewisham, Old Canterbury Rd/Longport Rd, when going towards parramatta rd, right at the traffic lights of those 2 streets, a HUUUGE bulge in the road, i hit it with 50 while the speed limit was 60, on stock stagea suspension and all my indicator sticks on the side of my steering wheel got knocked down. BEWARE OF THAT BULGE!!!!!!!!!

none of these places have any warning signs etc you have to find out the hard way. so beware!

NSW...

Mascot

Middlemiss St.... do not ever go down this street... its a backstreet off Botany Road and you WILL lose your exhaust in the process...

Rolfe St .... It is not a speed hump it is mount everest.... do not even attempt the hump on this street

Stay away from Mascot in general.... the humps here are gg

[GTR-N1]

Looks like NSW & QLD have the worst speed humps?

Jean, it looks as if Canterbury Rd Canterbury Lane #1 has been fixed > I took it off

*Edit:- Hello, VIC has surfaced.

[ClutchBurndout-:(]

VICTORIA

Fountain gate, fountain gate shopping center in the underground carpark....

....ouch, not only did i not see one and hit it hard with stiff suspension, but i did it a second time shortly after, i slapped myself

[defari]

James st Fortitude valley Brisbane - that street makes my coilovers / kidneys cry...

[iseekool]

Victoria

- Park St, Parkville

- Speed bumps around the Fitzroy area, quite deceiving as they look quite tame

h8t that road

[GTRsean]

The mean Fiddler near Rouse Hill. Couple of speed bumps that would try to grab your exhaust....

This was a while back though, not sure about now.

Helltown's got to take first prize. Even stock Commo's scrape their front bar.

And once you've crawled over the summit, your tow ball will dig a nice groove in the bitumen.

Thanks...

Any state/suburb/street names before I can update? Same with Fitzroy?

[NA_Goodness]

I'll throw one up for Perth:

Fitzgerald St, main road into the city. They've put in car destroying speed bumps in for god knows why!! Even my 323 struggles to get over the f**kers Unless you go through thr middle.

[PewPew]

^ Thanks Rhys, will keep that in mind :S

Curtin University, speed bump going into the Architecture building

Dropped my girlfriend off there once, NEVER AGAIN T.T

Even my old Gaewoo scraped
