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:

    • Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.
    • I definitely know the first rule here, look first, ask second. I've seen many people get roasted 😂 I found a few diagrams for the RB, but I'm yet to come across one for the VQ. From what I have read, the pump gets the +12v along with the FPCM, and it's the negative wire that gets passed through the resistor to regulate the voltage. So I assume I can just ground the negative wire at the pump to eliminate the FPCM control. But I really wanted to see the VQ circuit diagram first to make sure I understood it correctly. Once the new pump is in I'll do some testing to see how it behaves, and in the meantime, I'll keep looking for a wiring diagram. Thanks for your help mate, your time is greatly appreciated.    
    • Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>
    • I used to do that (sills with rubber jack block).. ... then I got side skirts, and there's no way for the jack to actually work there, the jack pad itself on the jack is too big. Is the answer to use a... smaller (?) jack? Hmmm.
    • I have too much trauma from every skyline I've ever seen having crushed jack points/pinch welds lol.    Yep, works 100%, it's what I use when I'm using the quick jack. Don't know why I can't also bring myself to do the same thing when I'm using a jack. I blame the skyline PTSD.
