imagine that BY THE TIME YOU KNOW ABOUT THE FIRE (this includes smoke etc) its already too late to go...

that's the sad truth for some people in this case...

fire moving @ 120kph... you have to understand that the fire's gonna be on you before you have time to escape through kilometres of minding roads.

ok, so maybe if ou left your house every day over 40 your point might make some sense

Deputy PM in parliament was reading out some stories, it one was of this couple where the wife had been nagging the husband to build a fire shelter, to which his reply was "stop bloody nagging me and i'll build the bloody thing!" hahahah, anyways, he built the fire shelter which from pictures look like nothing more than a whole lot of those cinder blocks? the ones bigger grey ones? dug down into the earth. And that was it, a fairly small brick area built into the earth. They lost the house i believe, but survived unharmed.

i'm also certain there will be some extra mandatory requirements for new homes what's all is said and done.

None of those responses are bitching, you as a moderator of this site should know better than that.

If any action is taken it should be against the inconsiderate person who started this shitfight.

Bitching might have been a poor choice or words but you know exactly what I mean so show some maturity. Enough about Ash full stop.

for those wondering why residents didn't leave, they did... but the fire was travelling at 120km/hr....... 120km/hr..... i don't care if you're Tsuchiya, you cannot maintain a 120km/hr+ place on a winding country road ...

LOL tsuchiya :thumbsup: ... sad situation... but that made me laugh out loud in the office

You can sue VicRoads/Local council over poorly maintained roads causing accidents why not local govt for not maintaining the fire tracks (funding cut) and not back burning and creating fire breaks (funding cut and greeny morons - some plants need fire you dipshits)? It's not like this wasn't a foreseeable outcome of not clearing bushfire fuel for 26-40+ years and emergency services not being able to get through.

Can everyone here having a go @ me say they felt the same for the Americans that died during Felix? 130+ dead, 150,000 people displaced? Its a risky area they knowingly live in.

If you answer no, then I'm very interested to know why. It's no different to what's happened here, in fact its worse.

I felt the same over that situation as i do about this, at least i am consistent

How odd comparing a completely uncontrollable natural disaster to a containable and preventable (to this extent) one. +1 for speaking too soon, 170>130 funnily enough.

Thats the cutest damn thing ive seen today.

Condolences to everyone who's been touched by this horriffic tragedy & RIP to those who've lost their lives.

Witnessing Australia's biggest natural disaster certainly has been an awful experience.

My thoughts go out to those affected.

Also Ive registered with CFA Headquarters and offered to help with anything that I can - if anyone else has spare time, might be worth you doing the same.

I dont think you could class most of this as a natural disaster because some one lit the fires to begin with.

All this hate floating around, if you want to hate someone/thing hate the green flamin mongrels who put a halt to backburning and firebreaks, save the animals WTF? thats exactly what these measures did, now we have more severe and larger fires, that wipe more animals off the map than any firebreak or backburn could do.

Tell your member of parliment that!

Hey Bec, did you register with them online or at the head office themselves?

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
