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?

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      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.
