"The Victorian government on Monday announced that householders in the capital would be able to hand-water gardens at any time and wash cars at home when water restrictions are eased to stage 2 for the first time in four years......

.....The restrictions will be eased from level 3a to level 2 from September 1 following heavy rains and water storage levels rising to almost 40 per cent, their highest level in almost three years."

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah.

Nothing like an election coming up to get the sweeteners going, ah well, dumb bogans will still vote for them.

And WTF are they doing. 39.9% is not full, so it is rather irresponsible to lighten restrictions going into spring/summer...

Gah! Why would they ease water restrictions when we are still under 50%? Keeping them strict isn't too hard and it's helping fill the dams. If we go back to dry now then it's just going to damage the supply even more >_< The drought isn't over yet, no offence but I think the water would be more useful going on our crops and flora/fauna, rather than on our cars. Other than that hooray for more water, haven't seen this much at my fams property in over 10 years :D

those car washes are soo annoying first sign off sun and its an 11bty mile line, plus my car only gets in/out by about 1mm not very low friendly

plus the minute u get jibbed waiting for it to go from soap to rinse and vice versa dodgy kents

Agreed. 100%

I love washing my car but this is so stupid. Haven't they learnt anything from the droughts? What's wrong with continuing to save our water until we're atleast above 50%?! We've survived this long without watering shit and using grey water for the cars. The farmers would be pissed, and rightfully so.

i 2nd that

if we start washing cars etc from home, water use will go up and we are approaching summer so not such a good idea to lower the restrictions n like said were not above 50% yet

so keep saving the water guys

They are citing the new north-south pipeline and the F*****N extremely environmentally unfriendly desalination plant as the driving forces to allow the easing of restrictions.

As for me, I wash my car with a hose, water my garden, and water my lawn whenever I want - from my rainwater tank.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
