SAU pool party and BBQ?

if only i had a pool!

sounds like a go'er. i think i hear ruby volunteering his pool.

my mate invited me round for a swim this arvo, but the pool is heated! its like constant 33 deg, whats the point?

just bacause the thermometer reads 33 degrees doesnt mean the pool is 33 degrees, they take a weird sample temp from a pipe that is normally exposed to sunlight, so it doesnt really mean much. and shit, even if it 33, thats 10+ degrees cooler than it is out of the pool.

yeah that place is freaking hot my old man used to work up there years ago.

UPS's has been going spastic since I got home (and probably before then). Theyve already ran out of charge. And 10 minutes ago there was a spike and everything in the house shut down for a fraction of a second. I'd love to curse etsa but those guys are working their balls off fixing everything. Yep, again I blame all government ;D

you all suck, i work in a kitchen with only enough suction from the canopy fans to just suck a piece of paper you throw at it! dam stingey owners who tap into our only cooling in the kitchen to keep the rest of the hotel cool! so 45 degrees outside, prob a good 55-60 degreees inside! also your in 100% cotton chef jacket, pants, apron! altho i prefer 15degrees over 45 ill shuttup and suck it up

i hear ya on that one bro!! im going up to tailem bend again this weekend to work and not looking forward to it.......gonna be a real stinker in the kitchen over the weekend :(

but ya get thru it in the end :) i just hope the heat keeps all the people away hahaha

yep when its 40 its 40, none of this 45 or 46 it all feels the same pete, but yeasterday just felt the same as every other day, must be 2 used to it now.

haha, it's funny how the body can adjust.

Not long ago, after a cold winter, I remember feeling really hot on the first 25 deg day in October.......if it was 25 deg tomorrow I think we'd now complain about how cold it is, lol

Was speaking to a guy at cricket before who is currently working 7pm til 9am ish shifts for ETSA, got called out yesterday to a transformer than was on fire, thing is they cant just put it out, they have to call the fore brigade after cutting the power to it etc.

You know it's warm when it finally drops below 40'c at 2049hrs, only to reach 40.2'c again at 0300hrs.

As for humidity, this place (Adelaide) doesn't get 'real' humidity... I'd rather 40'c and 10%, than 35'c and 95%.

Try working in Moomba 53 wearing long pants and shirt plus hard hat and 6 billion flies ........... :)

Yep old mans there atm. Used to work 2 weeks on 2 weeks off, heard plenty or stories from there.

Went for a dip at about 9:30 at the beach, was warm air but the water was quite cold, actually gave me shivers. Then I got bitten by sea lice (again) and got out.

I definately agree with you there Matt. Dry heat is easy to climatise, nothing worse than sweating 24/7.

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
