if you were outside driving you probably wouldnt feel it... dont think it was big enough.

the only time i experienced an earthquake while driving (being driven) was in NZ and the roads started rolling like a wave, was pretty awesome as a kid, would probably shit a brick if it happened to me now

If you can get to it http://www.seis.com.au/EQ/Earthquakes.html - i believe its already on there. Was only in the 2.x range so not that bad. To make roads move it has to be in the 4.x mark from memory

D'oh - can't get onto website. I guess too many people visiting.

Had a quick look at the Richter scaling on wikipedia. It's interesting that they grade it a 2 something, as from the description (indoor items rattling, etc) it sounds more like a low 4?? Maybe seis have their own grading protocol.

Felt it in Bentleigh. Thought my BBQ was blowing up. Then ran to check the dorrs. Thought someone was shaking the house. Looking back I feel like a goose! haha

Friends in Caulfield, Ringwood and Pakenham felt it. Friends in Werribee didn't.

hahha possums.

my wife rang her mum before and asked if she felt it... her reply was "what? of course, i had it with my coffee"

silly old wog.

thought she was calling at 9pm to see if she ate her cake lol

she didnt even notice (Noble Park)... even her brother just thought a truck was going past the house.

    • There are black hose clamps as well if you care. Plazmaman for example sells some: https://plazmaman.com/product/black-hose-clamps-premium-quality-stainless-breeze/
    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
