This new cyclone is supposed to be worse then Larry isn't it ?

Did anyone see the news about Wivenhoe dam possibly being emptied to half of its drinking capacity, just in case this new cyclone dumps a butt load of rain in the catchment? If they do and it doesn't then we'll be back in drought worse then before this latest flood.

And it's not even 2012 yet...

I had heard that, didn't know they were going to drop it to half though... that seems pretty stupid.

Thats the problem with dams trying to do water storage AND flood mitigation though.

Lol f**k up!

Guys. I have some "off the book" info. Can't give to many specifics in case I get in shit but the source is up there. But it looks like it will be a category 5 with mass evacuations. Worse cyclone in QLD history, comparing it to TC Tracy. Twice as wide as TC Larry. Expecting it to hit near Townsville with massive evacuations.

I don't know what to do? I have mates fueling their cars up and heading to Brisbane.

I think shit just got real!

It's a very real option Phil. ATM I think it will hit a bit lower then Townsville but that's just a gut feeling I have for some reason......

I've heard basically what you just said from someone else. You people with your inside info :P

I'm on night shift this week so if I do happen to work tomorrow night I'll probably be seeing the early signs on my way home. If you feel unsafe where you live then I wouldn't lane you for packing up and running south...... Just remember it could go down that way as well yet, although I don't think it will

Not only do we have the cyclone to contend with, there is the possible 4m tidal surge and 1m of terrential flooding FML. Here is the flood innundation map that the Bully released today...

its all well and good to say "just head south" but theres alot of things to think about. I have it pretty lucky, being a fair bit south of the centre of where the cyclone is expected to hit, and being in a relatively new house in a fairly safe part of town

Its saving me from having to worry about evacuating. I dont envy Phil's position at all or anyone else up north, Its not looking good

is there anymore on your reliable source saying it will be a CAT 5 Phil? Ive heard similar reports from someone else, but I'm not sure where you are getting it from lol

    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
