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...

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
