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

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
