They're probably all still drunk. Amazes me how the first thing they think of when a cyclone comes up there is. "have i got enough beer to see me through"

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

      Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.

      List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By tylink720 · Posted

      @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
