well no power loss or brownouts for me.

but on top of the heat my car got blasted by a couple of kilos of sand last night. parked at a mates house for a few hours , came out to a brwon/red car covered in dirt/sand.photos coming soon.. looks really bad ... hope the inside vents and drains didnt clog with dirt too..lol

and i was parked for only a few hours near the beach, bet some of you in town had it worse?

Haha try camping at Rapid Bay in a tent! Did that shit last night... crazy wind! 2 tents actually snapped (well, one of the poles holding it up snapped).

Hooray for Big W tents!! Haha $30 tent from Big W = disposable tent.

Then we went walking... scaled the now closed rusty bridge, was awesome. Then walked in the old BHP mine site... that was also awesome. Then tried my hand at fishing... that was a failure. I caught some tiny fish that had some form of bug coming out its eye balls.

That's 2 awesome things in one weekend. It was pretty awesome.

Cronic I used to go to one of the shacks at Rapid Bay all the time.

Did you head down to the cave? Well, its more of a hole in the hill. If fishing fails can always try your hand at the yabbies.

Oh and you are aware about the human remains they found buried next to the tennis courts/oval? No kidding.

PS that mine/plant/whatever near the Jetty still operating?

Yeah Tom, went to that huge cave. Never realised that it goes in so deep!! We walked in, climbed up and started walking through that small tunnel part until it just went pitch black! It went on for ages! Didn't even reach the end due to lack of any form of light.

I wouldn't put it past anyone buring a body in that cave/mine site... let alone next to the tennis court!! It's a pretty strange down. It's basically abandoned.

And nope, that mine (BHP one) has shut down. It was still half-working about 9 years ago, but now it's completely shut down. They've bulldozed the front of it where a huge conveyor belt used to be hanging out, though. Which is a shame, as you could walk on the conveyor belt and walk into the mine. I managed to climb up and into the mine itself, but it's pretty crazy in there. Everything is rusted out and there's graffiti everywhere inside the actual mine itself. Crazy stuff. Reminds me of some abandoned ghost mine or something.

This is what I'm talking about:

You can still walk in it, you just need to climb up heaps of stuff!!

Oh and they've finished building a new jetty down there. The old jetty has now been fenced off.

Edit: here's a better pic of that mine I'm talking about.

Edited by CRoNic...

are there holes still cut in the fences/gates cronic i went there a few weeks back caught heaps off mackerel, cod , snook , squid , and then a massive

white pointer came and scared all the fish had my

hunting spotlight so seen the shark at night no worries i was all the way at the end.!

i was using the mackerel as live bait on my braided 50ib combo so brought it in nice a quick so i wouldn't hook up on the shark,. It chased it i was like no don't get that fish if i did hook up on that massive white pointer i would have shat it not the safest jetty for that stuff when ur at the end.

+ there a protected species.

bit creepy at knight not even a servo open so i grab a farmers union IC maybe more ppl might visit now the new jetty is done.

They buldozed that side of the mine? Shame, childhood memories. I should go see the new Jetty, think it will bring the town back to life?

Oh and yeah it was on the news, they found aboriginal remains near that shed.

It's pretty hard to walk over the old jetty now - the fence is pretty solid with plenty of barb wire!! But if you're tall, you can still climb over it.

There's 2 fences leading to the new jetty, too... but they're hacked up lol so they're easy to get through!!

Yeah, no shops are open at Rapid Bay anymore! Not even the General Store! That shut down.

Damn man, u seriously deserve some beers for that effort.... boss shows u any love? I always feel for the guys fixing the shit, we had the blokes come past around 3am on Wed to fix the outage in our street... tis a thankless job eh

-D

bosses were showing love, they changed our pay rate for the times on, and gave us the availability allowance

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
