Last night the wind gust was quite big. Heard of some trees falling in Tullamarine area dropping on cars.

Any wind damage around your area?

Lucky not much on mine, just a bit dignity is hurt - here's what my wife found when she got home from work:

The wind blew so strong till the wheelie bin "ate" my car.......

It's either a case of the 2-wheeler falling in love with a 4-wheeler or

the wheelie bin thinks the 13-yo car is rubbish.

OWNED BY THE WHEELIE BIN! Anyhow green & red does look good in pictures!

Gosh, is that in Northcote? I've just moved out of Thornbury/Fairfield area. Seems like hail or gail loves to strike there too. About 2 years ago a huge hail storm damaged a lot of units in my block and not to mention writing off some cars from water damage to the interior & electrical system, not to mention lots of panel damage from the hail.

Got a bit on the balcony. Cats had used the BBQ cover as a scratching post and ripped the corner. Wind worked on the small tear and ripped the cover quite badly. Need to think about a replacement but taking the claws off the cats could be cheaper.

Did anyone see the house that flew off the back of the truck on eastern freeway near Doncaster exit? Was yesterday at about 12:30-1pm....

It was one of those wide load trucks carrying a wooden house, and the wooden house was destroyed on the road.

    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
