Floods In Hawthorn


Recommended Posts

Here are some pictures from last weeks flooding of Hawthorn right outside our work office. I wasent actually at work on the day but a guy at work took these pics from our balcony.

All the building carparks are underground in the area but i cant take my car down the ramp coz it scrapes the front spoiler real bad. So i park around the back of the building.

Luckyly the people in our office moved their cars out before the whole area got flooded, but in the pic of the fireman near the building that building got totally flooded and about 20 cars in their underground carpark were floating around.

They are still pulling our cars today onto tow trucks.

The white honda in the pic was also floating around and the fireman had to get a rope and tie it to one of the posts.

I wish i was there coz it would have been a pisser to see the cars floating around.

I live and work on Glenferrie too, shat my pants when it started to hail but managed to get the car out pretty quick.

The pics you see in the herald sun and the video footage on channel 7 and 9 is from my camera. They approached me when they saw that I had been down there for a while taping it.

skygirl, i'm in the camberwell/hawthorn area as well. i'll keep a lookout from now on. i'm usually at camberwell junction or the cafe's under glenferrie train station

yeh give us a wave if u see me haha :P theres another girl that ive seen driving a black R34 around that area.

let me guess the cafes under glenferrie trainstation could that be marios coffee or

bacio dolce ?

:bahaha: and i know where all that stuff is too like the back of my hand :( I so wish i was back there when it all happened.. i love chaos :worship:

although here we had massive storm and trees falling over cars last friday. I went out for a drive 20 mins after it happened and there were like branches and stuff all over the road, trees blocking the main street. Saw 2 squashed cars and was thinking "hmm, somebody is gonna be pissed". It was like my skyline was on an obstacle course, was sooo cool :cheers:

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
