I hope everyone keeps safe and well!

there was also a landslide/rockfall at wondabyne...causing a minor derailment and train delays for hours.

I work in sydney and was stuck for 6 hours...everone took refuge at Hornsby RSL... not so bad..at least we are alive and well.. I just hope everyone else is safe and keeps out of harms way :mellow:

Oh man not good at all, my prayers go out to this family

And yes, everyone took refuge in the RSL and the Old Pub, we were so damn busy!!! Great business though.

saw that on the news, what a huge hole. and very unlucky to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

was coming back from gosford today and got bored of the freeway, hopped on the old road at mt white and then thought "mmm maybe this isn't such a smart idea"... plenty of tree branches and stuff blown down on the road too.

i drove that road today... it's pretty clear actually.. all the trees have been cut away and are lying on the side of the road.... all the rock faces are constantly coated in a stream of water.... it looks amazing!

[A section of the Pacific Highway which collapsed, claiming the lives of five people, began corroding within a year of being built and was left to deteriorate for almost 25 years, an inquest has been told.

The RTA knew "long before" the F3 Somersby diversion was built in 1983 that a steel culvert without concrete lining had a propensity to "corrode and fail", counsel assisting the inquest Paul Menzies, QC, told Sydney's Central Local Court.

Similar culverts had collapsed on the NSW South Coast between 12 and 15 years after being built, with an RTA circular describing them as a "clamshell-like closure" of the steel under the weight of the road.

"Plainly the event that occurred [at Piles Creek] cannot be described as isolated," Mr Menzies said.

Concrete lining for the bottom of such pipes was made an Australian standard in 1977, but the use of concrete was left to the discretion of the engineer and not mandated.

yeah saw that on the news also. there was also footage from brisbane water hwy patrol and you can see the dip in the road and watch the car dip as it goes over it, that was filmed about a month before.

Also they were saying the driver was found to be under influence???

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
