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

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

Decided to watch season 7 of the office instead

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.

    • OK, Step 3, if you need to remove the valve body, either to replace it, the TCM, or to do a more complete drain.  First, you need to disconnect the TCM input wires, they are about half way up the transmission on the drivers side. One plug and the wires are out of the way, but there is also a spring clip that stops the socket from sliding back into the transmission. On my car the spring clip was easy to get, but the socket was really stuck in the o-ring of the transmission housing and took some.....persuasion. You can see both the plug to remove (first) and the spring clip (second) in this pic Incidentally, right next to the plug, you can see where the casting has allowance for a dispstick/filler which Nissan decided not to provide. there is a cap held on with a 6mm head bolt that you can remove to overfill it (AMS recommend a 1.5l overfill). Final step before the big mess, remove the speed sensor that is clipped to the valve body at the rear of the box.  Then removal of the Valve Body. For this the USDM Q50 workshop manual has a critical diagram: There are a billion bolts visible. Almost all of them do not need to be removed, just the 14 shown on the diagram. Even so, I both removed one extra, and didn't check which length bolt came from which location (more on that later....). Again it is worth undoing the 4 corners first, but leaving them a couple of turns in to hold the unit up....gravity is not your friend here and trans oil will be going everywhere. Once the corners are loose but still in remove all the other 10 bolts, then hold the valve body up with 1 hand while removing the final 4. Then, everything just comes free easily, or like in my case you start swearing because that plug is stuck in the casing. Done, the valve body and TCM are out
    • OK, so if you are either going for the bigger fluid change or are changing the valve body which includes the Transmission Control Module (TCM), first you should have both a new gasket 31397-1XJ0A and a torque wrench that can work down to 8Nm (very low, probably a 1/4 drive one). You can probably get by without either, but I really didn't want to pull it all apart together due to a leak. First, you now need that big oil pan. The transmission pan is 450 long x 350 wide, and it will probably leak on all sides, so get ready for a mess. There are 24x 6mm headed bolts holding the pan on. I undid the 2 rear corners, then screwed those bolts back in a couple of turns to let the pan go low at that end, then removed all the middle bolts on each side. Then, undo the front corner bolts slowly while holding the pan up, and 80% of the fluid will head out the rear. From there, remove the remaining bolts and the pan is off. You can see it is still dripping oil absolutely everywhere...it dripped all night.... I got another couple of litres when I removed the pan, and then another few when I removed the valve body - all up another 4l on top of the 3 already dropped in step 1.
    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
