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...

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.

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.

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.

      Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
