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!!

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
