This Freeway exit sign system has been working in Singapore for the past 25+ years. About time VicRoad learn from the rest of the world.

An upgrade of our road surface would be something the government should really look at especially roads in Melbourne inner city. Pot holes and bumps everywhere.

it's a good idea.

-benefits people who don't drive on fwys often or only use certain fwys. (for one, i rarely use the monash or any of the west side fwys.)

-helps new drivers, drive instead of reading signs. numbering system is far easier to read, if you know you want to take exit 8 and you just passed exit 5, you don't have to be in the left lane just yet. only requires a glance.

-helps asians get in the correct fking lane.

-reduces complexity of directions. (jump on the monash from warrigal, take exit 13....)

-helps interstate drivers and tourists. if i went up to sydney, it would be nice to read an easy numbering system instead of replying on names i wont remember and have no need remembering.

BAH!!!

More signs to distract people from actual driving...

Why dont they just make an Iphone app , would be more successful...

Because you're not supposed to be using your iPhone while driving.

actually wankers, I once missed an exit on the Tullamarine freeway, and somehow managed to drive from Broadmeadows back into the city and over the West Gate bridge :S, I'm glad for something like this, cause it can be really confusing, esp trying to cross the city to places like Dandenong. I get sick of having to refer to a GPS AND street directory!

I actually like the new signage idea. I know my way around Melbourne reasonably well (I'm from Bendigo) but when we take Brenton's FTO to Melbourne it usually results him yelling "what fkn exit am I taking" "Flemington road, read the signs" "I can't I'm watching for traffic"

LOL at the white GT-R. Loving the way it just flies by. Probably not good for our reputation though. "Look it's a Skyline...It must be speeding...Pull them over"

The blue Commodore- If I did that in front of a truck I'd get my butt kicked, plus it's just damn annoying. Stupid gold Kia something or other did that to me this morning, it thought it was going faster then me, then realised their car couldn't get that far in front of me and they were heading for the arse of a truck.

Another victim!!!

f**k signs! I think instead they should spend the money on cheapening gps' then no one would have any problem going anywhere! Not even on normal roads! You wouldn't even need signs!!

Ever driven CBD Adelaide?

Melbourne roads are 10x better :dry:

Tell Vic Roads to f**king widen the bridge on citylink inbound on the monash so we can use the frigging right hand lane from bourke road into the city :D

Yeah i just came back from a trip to Adelaide the south eastern freeway is a work of art , pity about the rest of the city, and i swear all the drivers are on valium or something..U guys think our 40 zones are bad over there they are 25...And all the zones that should be 80 are 60 ..And whats even weirder is the buses drive on tram tracks.... :dry:

Put that together with their import hating police and Melbourne seems not so bad...

Hmm...I will cross Adelaide off my possible place to visit list. I hate 40 zones! and I would probably get done 25 over the limit and loose my license if I went to Adelaide.Seriously you may as well just get the hell out and walk.

Charlene- That's a freaking brilliant idea. My GPS is only 2-3 years old, went to Tarneit and couldn't find anything..stupid GPS with it's crappy maps, but the crappier part is the unit cost me $140....new maps are $160!

Or another suggestion is possibly fixing all those huge holes in the Calder freeway between Kyneton and Sunbury/Diggers Rest exit there is that many holes, whole lanes closed and traffic dropped to 60 because it's so bad. I know where the holes are now so I just move around them but you see unsuspecting peoples front ends dip or people loose control momentarily

Doubt many will be interested, but ever tried NOT driving in the/a city? Country Vic roads are appalling. I literally cannot drive in any direction where there isn't a f***** road for more that 10+ km, then you might get a good section for a few hundred metres, then it's f***** again, and I live in a town of 15,000+ population. Should get a vid of the kind of stuff i'm talking about...

The best bit is the "repairs". You know, the signs recommending you do 60km/h in a hundred zone, that stay there for 6+ months? Or the gravel/tar mix poured over the holes so you get it all down the side of your car and the hole re-appears anyways?

Rahhhgargblearghhahah

    • It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...
    • I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate
    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
    • Doing a refresh of my 33 and can see a few websites stating they sell the entire main carpet for our cars, but they all have generic photos which is fine, i understand they are custom made to order.  Just seeing if anyone has got it done or had any experience with this, as i would only want to do it if the fit and finish was as good as oem https://carmatsdirect.com.au/products/moulded-carpet-or-vinyl-for-nissan-skyline-r33-1993-1998-coupe https://knoxautocarpets.com.au/moulded-carpets/nissan/skyline/skyline-r-33-1993-1998/
    • Any plans for E85? If so, add flex fuel sensor.   I'd probably add in the sensors I mentioned above if the Link will support using them for engine protection. With water pressure, you need to be able to effectively set it that "If temp > X, and pressure = atmospheric, shutdown" as at running temp, you should be able to read pressure in the cooling system. If pressure suddenly disappears, it means the water went some where, and this is a quicker reaction than waiting on water temp to go up (Which, can take a little longer than you'd like, considering it now has to wait for hot air to heat it up) Oil pressure, Oil temp, both would be on my list too if you're looking to add sensors. Wideband O2. And at least one EGT sensor. If you're feeling deluxe, put in individual runner EGTs. Single EGT sensor is more so forget about a specific number, get used to "What is normal EGTs", and then keep an eye on it, if it starts going away from "normal" it's a sign something is wrong (Also, things like the tune can still start going out of spec, but EGTs may not show it, for example one injector starts running leaning, so ECU richens everything up, now 5 out of 6 cylinders are rich, and running cool, with one cylinder lean and running hotter, so it's not perfect) Then there is your other things to look at non sensor related, but you may have already done, or have underway, and that would be things like building a sump for more oil, and better oil control under high G-Forces (Cornering, brakes, acceleration). Basically, the above is worth looking/thinking about, if the ECU can do protective stuff with it, and you continue to use it how you are (Drive it to the track, thrash it, drive home, repeat once every 3 to 4 months)
