Get far?

Made it out half way, then got a phone call to say it was cancelled.

Turned back, got beer, bourbon and coke. Marisa is bringing pretzels, mixed nuts and jerkey.

No dvds. Decided to watch season 7 of the office instead

ok so i just got home...

been up in the air all morning delivering supplies into the locker valley and all I can say is "f**k"

we took off from redcliffe aerodrome which was an effort to get too, i saw the damage the pine river has done

then i thought this is bad, we got further over mt glorious and then i saw the real damage

holy shit is all i can say, it is all kinds of screwed up and the rest you cant see cause its still under water

Have you got the entire season 7? I've only got the first few episodes so far. Room mate and I spent most of the last two weeks watching all the seasons.

Sweeeeet. Probably Saturday or Sunday for me as well. I told John to give me a call if we're doing a cleanup on the weekend so that we can get straight back into it on Monday.

I don't know about you guys out there in the comfy chairs and aircon :P, but we're all pretty much on standby until Monday.

No worries with yesterday, mang. I was already saturated from the morning, so I didn't care if I was stuck back out in the rain again. At least we didn't have to move the cars very far!

This would not be a rocket ship but should smash autocad out of the park without trouble. Basically the same as the last one but with more ram and a bit better video card.

Should I go buy a neo turbo for 1/3 of the price of highflowing my current one?

Pickup from about 15 mins from my place...... no flood waters around.......

I can't decide whether I should pick it up tonight or just fob it off and highflow my current one

Have you got the entire season 7? I've only got the first few episodes so far. Room mate and I spent most of the last two weeks watching all the seasons.

I only have the first 8 episodes at the moment.

Will have a look for the other ones tomorrow. Not sure where they are up to in the US

Buy it... then highflow it.

Colin, cruise on Sunday postponed.

Anyone know if they want more volunteers yet? Feeling very awake, could smash some hours overnight

No work for Woolworths for a while. Cash registers are floating around the store.

There is a RSL through there somewhere to the right. That's the Ipswich Motorway to the right.

yer pretty much is, i got my name down, got told they have more then they need but they will call if they need me

In all honesty I don't think offering help for sandbagging at the moment is worth it. They have way more than enough people at the moment.

I'm gonna try and help out where I can over the weekend/early next week when people need help cleaning up in the city/surrounding suburbs once the waters go down. I think we'll need as many people as we can get during that time and I'd be more than happy to help out for a bit, where I can.

Buy it... then highflow it.

Yeah I should be getting it tomorrow. That's what I'm thinking too. Quick cheap fix for now, plus will yield better results from high flowing once I can save the money at my leisure to actually have it high flowed lol.

    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers) Replacement of the Valve body (if you removed it) is the "reverse of assembly". Thread the electrical socket back up through the trans case, hold the valve body up and put in the bolts you removed, with the correct lengths in the correct locations Torque for the bolts in 8Nm only so I hope you have that torque wrench handy (it feels really loose). Plug the output speed sensor back in and clip the wiring into the 2 clips, replace the spring clip on the TCM socket and plug it back into the car loom. For the pan, the workshop manual states the following order: Again, the torque is 8Nm only.
