Yeah man. The water was up to the roof of the baskins under cover car park. Think how high it had to be in his street for that... there's another video that shows his street. It's up to the 60 sign opposite his place :(

If anyone needs a hand clearing out a house I can give a hand all day tomorrow. Spent all day cleaning out some randoms house in Fig Tree Pocket, will go back their tomorrow if no one here needs a hand.

we spent the day washing out the basement at work, although flood water didn't actually go in there just the fact it was empty was a good enough reason to wash the thing out, 4 years or build up was pretty foul

I too can give a hand (and a ute if needed) to anyone that needs it tomorrow... Let me know

If no one else needs my help, going to rock up to the boondall volunteer point tomorrow for the arvo shift:

(Assuming I can get all the necessary gear from the shops in the morning...)

Anyone else keen?

anybody free to give me a hand to fit a cage in tomorrow?

got all the interior bits out, just can't figure out what to do about the sunroof.....

Sorry Miso I'm busy doing my turbo swap

Got the 33 one off finally tonight. Started last night for an hour or so, then probably about 3-4 hours today on and off between running to shops, bunnings, the girlfriend's place, yatta yatta yatta. No real issues, just needed to get a 24mm socket and then some gasket goo later this arvo before repco closed.

Both dump and turbo manifold gasket are sweet, near new. I had an inkling that my turbo was not the original one (no heatshield, and looks in generally worse condition than the rest of my motor) so this helped confirm that. Also the 6 dump bolts were easy, and the 4 manifold nuts were barely tighter than finger-tight after moving the lock tabs out of the way. Banjo bolts were a pain and I've lost all the coolant out of the block but oh well, I've got another 2 bottles in the garage.

Now have the 34 one lined up, oil return in and dump bolted up for now. Might give the rest a go later tonight if I can be bothered, otherwise tomorrow.

Pretty happy, first time I've removed a turbo and it mostly went to plan. Hardest part was having to get under the car to undo the bottom bolts on the dump, not much room in there lol

All good, it's a bit late notice.

I will figure it out tomorrow. Started late in the arvo today, and took a while to remove all the interior, belts, lining, seats etc.

Hopefully the weather holds tomorrow, as I have to do it all in the front yard. No room in the garage

Can I has a coptor ride too?

Afraid not, cant even get my wife in on the deal...

Need a medical clearance, training and special permission to ride in a gov heli...

Alternatively get stuck in a tree and they might give you a free ride to higher ground...

    • I'll get one of these also just for giggles
    • I bought 6 new spark plugs to compare readings. They will be here tomorrow and ill see if meter is far off if it all. I know one is at least reading 0 so its best replace all anyway if one is bad, from experience. I still have to test the harness just to be sure its not a double issue and I waste my time haha-the old plugs are iridium I always thought those lasted more than 50,000 km.
    • 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.
