I got from the valley to home (bray park) along old northern road with no issues, on the radio at work they were goin on about how the valley was flooded we drove most of it and couldn't find a road under at 12pm today. There was more water flooding the roads at high tide yesterday then there was today at high tide. Lets see if i have to work tomorrow.

Oh if anyone on the northside wants somewhere safe to store there car send me a pm, no chance of getting flood waters where i am. Well most of brisbane would be under water if we did get flooded

Success! Got home and house (and cars) are OK :).

Low level brisge is out, upper brindge is split-laned.

Both under water now... Going to go for a ride and check it out.

I live near the river, but im about 6-7 m above bank level it is expected to only go about 1m above that so im not overly worried

Sounds like its going to hit a lot higher now! They just said 22m on the TV. I hope you guys are going to be OK, get your important stuff out and get to higher ground.

Afternoon all

Work's fine, house is fine, dads house (where I'm housesitting for around a month) is fine.

Chermside closed down, only the supermarkets are still open now. Gonna head down soon and get some supplies in case the supply route is out of action for the next few days/weeks

forget the shops

i went at midday and all the bread/milk and such items were gone... none left at all...

people were going crazy, the softdrinks isle and chips were empty and the line to get to the checkout was over an hour at midday...

i heard on the news most supermarkets are closing at 4pm due to lack of stock and personal staff needing to leave...

i have drawn inspiration to download the old kevin kostner movie "water world"

5% complete already, give it another 20 minutes and ill be getting educated on what may be next week...

Petrie woolies still open and plenty of stock...

...unless you want bread, milk, eggs, meat, or vegetables.

Oh well, I have a loaf of bread in the freezer. NFI how old it is, but it'll do for sammiches for lunch :)

Pictures from the Pine River at the Petrie Crossing.

The bridge (that actually crosses the river) is way in the distance, past the "Petrie Mill" and speed limit signs visible in some pictures.

And a vid:

What's the road closures like?

I need to get to Nudgee tomorrow at 11....

Might have to look up the locacl council websites in the morning and find some open roads

Yeah not worth going anywhere.

I luckily work 5 minutes from where I live, and there's no creeks between those two points hahahaha

Just got home from work. Had to go back and sandbag the office and get all the files and computers out of there. I'm still in tomorrow at 6:30 though lol. See how we go tomorrow. My mate has had a look at the map and found that our place is right on the edge of the floodwaters so i might need a place to store the car lol.

try get in, but if water is on the road don't bother.

That's what she said.

You can leave it here if you want ;)

Yeah Colin, the inner west will be rooted if it goes 70's spec. Move your car if you can.

We all have to go in at 8 to lay tarps and put down more sandbags. I'm wondering if I'll be able to even get there if Kedron Brook keeps rising...

The call for work tomorrow is, try get in, but if water is on the road don't bother.

You have a bucket of water ready to splash on the driveway.

    • 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.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
