no one fell out of the roller coaster. someone jumped from one of the upper floors though, thats why they have the suicide nets on level 1.

dunno why they shut down though... me thinks it was relocated somewhere.

Shit, anyone remember Dazzleland in the Myer centre?

It's basically all but forgotten now... a few years ago, you could still see the Dazzleland signs and stuff, but now it's all covered up by 2m of white painted glass so you can't see in.

Apparently, the gym only takes up 1 level... the other 2 levels, which were what Dazzleland was located on, are simply disused. They don't even allow service people up there anymore, as they say the floors "are too weak". It basically never got maintained after it closed in the late 90's I guess.

I still have a Dazzleland token sitting at home, too! Hahaha

But shit, that was awesome up there when I was young! And Lego Land... ah... memories.

I loved it when Zone 3 was located there. Best ever when you did one of those marathon lockins. I'd be there all the time with my mates running amock! :D

Some bloke suicided by jumping off a higher level. Couldn't handle his GF dumping him. So the suicide sails went up.

Coaster shut down due to the increase in insurance, back around the time of the HIH collapse. Wasn't making enough money to cover the insurance costs. Remove the "amusements" from the policy and the insurance was cheaper. They had a few in other Myer centres in cities around Aust which also closed down.

There was plenty of jumpers from the upper levels in the Myer centre. Few suicides and one case of a school kid that was messing around with a school bag on his back, anyway, he was on the edge over the railing and the school bag tipped over his back, acting like a weight and dragged him down.

Yeah and then they installed the nets/sails to stop it from happening.

And yeah, that Dazzleland roller coaster rumour is old as! It came from the original rumour of when the roller coaster was first tested with crash dummies on it, all of the dummies were decapitated.

Shit... just realised Ted's stripping his super-sexual onevia after it was defected!

Shocking. That thing was porn.

You only JUST realised? :D He's only been parting it for about a month.

Also, your avatar on NS is rediculous amounts of awesome, but also annoying as I lose like 5 minutes whenever I see it :laughing-smiley-014:

Caption Fail

Face off ... Jennifer Hawkins and Miranda Hawkins hit town on Friday.

yep Kerr, by a minute margin.

Rubes, that made me think of a quote from step brothers:

Barbara Walters, Oprah, your wife. You gotta f**k one, kill one, and marry one, go!

come to think of it, this is a farken hilarious read if you've seen the movie!

Who would you tap: Jennifer Hawkins or Mirranda Kerr?

+1 Kerr.

Err, what :D

Hawko is roughly 10 billion times better looking than Kerr.

*edit* that being said, I'd spear them both but how the hell anyone would go Miranda Kerr over Jennifer Hawkins is beyond me :D

That was Clayton. He lived a few doors down from us (where his parents still live). They put the plastic barriers in Myer itself directly due to that.

They don't know if he was messing around, but he was sitting on the railing and the weight pulled him over and he fell from the top floor... managed to stay alive for 24 hours.

Sadly his sister suicided in July last year. I suspect partly because she never really dealt with his death, tho none of us will ever know for sure...

-D

    • The attached document is fine. I just downloaded & opened it.
    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
