In Glen Waverley. 5 minutes before we decided to move the other skyline under the carport so it wouldn't get wet. Talking to my mother over the road on the phone saying maybe don't walk back just yet because it looks like very heavy rain. 1 or 2 drops of rain then next second a golf ball smashes in the middle of the court out of no where. Couldn't quite believe my eyes.. i'm telling mum what happened and then it hit proper. One of the PVC pipes to the water tanks got hit and smashed a hole through it! While I was trying to fix it I got hit square on the toe nail, I got back inside quick smart! My toe is now bleeding.. fair the craziest weather I have ever seen here!

1 broken window on the house, a large branch down on the roof. Daily undercover so fine, yet to just the work in progress fun car. House was shaking from the hail hits - wishing I'd put in the gutter guard I've had sitting here for weeks now...

Got a pretty bad 15/20 minute storm here in Bayswater. No flooding or anything because we live at the top of a hill though. But Caroline Springs was absolutely slaughtered. My poor mum and sisters got stuck in water whilst driving. Mum's car's flooded, won't start. Started floating away because the water got too high but some nice men went and helped my dad to push it up onto some dryish land.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
