8-10 minutes??? ppl in sunshine reported felt it too, but as I was in Brimbank Central keeping the in-laws entertained while they shopped at Miller's & Payless really puts me to sleep till I felt nothing about the earthquake...

or perhaps it was the beer I had after work... I was pretty drowsy and bored there at that time

ah you westies and your non making senselissness

their power went out for 8-10 minutes... i fail to see the point

sure it wasn't 7 minutes 23 seconds?

It did back in the 1990's ;)

There was a very decent shake, i remember it very clearly!

wow...only 19 years ago...

hahaha shit it makes sense now!

I was in the cinema at 9pm and i felt someone kicking my chair for like 5 seconds. Turns out it was the earthquake shaking the chair haha. Was about to tell the guy off but he was too busy looking behind him haha

Hahaha that's classic!

My mum came into my room and told me to turn my music down because the bass was shaking all the windows. My sound system was fried in a power surge earlier in the week... ;)

She's a real smart one.

Im in Thomastown, was working on the car with my old man when everything just started shaking. Never felt anything like it before. We were actually in the car and it felt like a lowrider! hahaha. To top things off we heard the lady next door screaming like someone was about to kill her! LMAO Didnt really know what was happening, but pretty wired 5 seconds or so.. ;)

We felt it in Port Melb. I thought it was just the cat scratching the sofa like they do occasionally where they start pulling at it. Jumped on the Herald Sun site and was quite surprised to see what it really was :)

I didnt know what to do so i just kept on ebaying haha

Lol, yeah that's exactly what I continued to do :)

The general public get trained to respond to different natural emergencies depending on where they live. We get trained in bushfires as that's what happens here, not earthquakes. In Japan and Taiwan, most of the public are well trained to respond to earthquakes.

lucky none of you were under the car on a stand... what if the car fell off the stand...

    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
