For a report that's been going all damn day, there's piss-all information. They just hit the repeat button on the dvd player...

Its bullshit isnt it. Radio is far more informative.

Hey guys, try ALDI, i know its weird and german and shit but apparently no one goes there so it contains ample food supplies, not the we are going to need them.

agree with you there noel, abc radio gives a pretty good coverage of it.

Went to the servo earlier cause i needed coke for my scotch, old mate said once the coles over the road ran out of bread and milk he had a wall of people running to his servo, even fighting like it was the last loaf of bread ever, its funny watching people panic. I'll make my own bread tomorrow i think, its not hard.

Morning Mangs,

Hope everyone got home from work OK and no one is flooded.

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.

OK so 22m was ipswich. They are talking at least 5 or 6 meters for brisbane though, I hope you are high enough!

Yeah I switched it off when it started repeating itself.

Ahh Noel, you're so old school :)

Bugger, ALDI is on the other side of the river...

But yeah no big deal, I just wanted some food for the two days or so I'll be home, but I got plenty now.

Yeah the check out chick @ woolies said the same. She was pretty hot.

People are just practicing for the impending zombie apocalypse...

That reminds me, I told Jason I was going to check the Zombie flowchart and get back to him. He was waiting a reply....... I hope he's ok.

Morning Mangs,

Just got back home from work. Abandoning the site for today and tomorrow until everything is passed then we'll see how we fared. No idea what to do now though lol.

Hey guys,

Hope you are all staying dry.

There has been so much information on boostcruising.com about the floods and most of it came through before it was even on any of the news channels.

http://www.boostcruising.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=683061&st=1075

All the relevant info will hopefully be in the first post but it is also scattered throughout the thread. There is also lots of willing volunteers on the site who are offering help to anybody that needs it.

Cheers,

Chris.

hopefully this doesn't lead to the zombie apocalypse, i still got 6-8 weeks to wait.

Looking like a nice day today. I don't have to go to work today or tomorrow

alrighty, going to brave the gateway and make my way up to nudgee.

will pick up supplies on my way back (bourbon, coke, beer, jerky and mixed nuts. possibly dvds)

Get far?

f**king awesome day to have off work lol. Spent the morning rearranging my room. Put my desk up and installed Ubuntu on the laptop. Now I'm wondering what to do with the rest of the day. I was thinking about checking out Wivenhoe but I don't know if that's such a smart idea lol.

Wivenhoe viewing area has been closed since monday. Not that it matters, since the bridge over the river just downstream of the dam has been closed since then aswell, i think.

yeah. Guess I'll chill at home. Holy shitballs @ milton maccas. High tide is at 2:30ish apparently.

Closer to 3.30 i think.

Farkin lol at milton. Because lang park is on fire too http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/suncorp-stadium-on-fire/story-e6freuy9-1225986138040

Just got home from tarping and sandbagging the workshop. 4 day weekend!!

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
