Willis Island automatic weather station has called it a day, they usually pack it in at around 90 knots.

Used to have an underground concrete bunker but it was removed, think I'd prefer that over the new stuff built there.

Be interested to see how much is still standing.

if i was one of you guys that was in the evacuation zone... i'd pack up my shit and get the fck out of their..

hope your all ok though... looks like its going to be one mean fking bish...

keep checking www.bom.gov.au

Have a mate in South Townsville off Boundary Street tell me they had surge waters coming through the street at 10 am today. They packed up and got out. Parents place in Idalia is sandbagged the sh!t up, so hopefully should be alright.

All servos are closed and I heard the highway to Bowen is closed? Then I saw plenty of people heading west towards the Towers??? I don't know why you would bother, nothing there is rated to any form of cyclone. I'm praying it doesn't swing south anymore but there is nothing more to do than sit tight and wait this out. Goodluck dudes!

They will head for the towers because it will be the best way to go south, I would go as far as hughenden if I were there.

Its just starting to get breazy here (kirwan townsville). Not hugely worried though i've got plenty of beer and a salami and the car is safely in the carport.

Looking at the tracking map even Mt Isa is going to get some! thats one f*ck off big storm to get that far!

Phil, youve done the matress thing with your car, probably the best and only thing you can do.

Magnetic Island hidden by rain now, would be pretty rough over there, did they evac everyone off there?

My Weather app, current data (wind speed):

Mackay - 30km/h

Townsville - 46km/h

Cairns- 11km/h

Bowen 46km/h

So up north of the cyclone is defenitly experiencing "the calm before the storm"

    • If there's enough meat in the housing where you want to put the M12 adapter, then do it, but be aware that if/when you f**k that up you'll probably be repairing it before doing anything else. I'd just drill it out and tap ina 1/4" thread. No need for rocket surgery when the next most obvious thing will do. You could throw a 1/4 x 1/8 bush in there and use the same fitting you intended to use.
    • Is the only issue that the oil catch can is getting filled on hard runs? I'd be thinking more about oil control issues rather then the head lifting, especially as you aren't seeing spiking in the coolant pressure.  Do you need restrictors in the head, or better drains from the head? Does the sump need venting to the catch can?
    • Tried to make 1/8npt threads into compressor house of the turbo for my EBC. Threads got fu#ked and ended up with and elongated hole, so I do have good amount and nice threads 90% of the hole but 10% I only had 1-2threads there and rest of it is flush on that side of the hole.. So my idea is to do M12 x 1.25 to AN4 with braided lines instead of 1/8npt to 4mm vacuum silicone hose.  and hopefully get a better thread. M12 is quite big and AN4 is a little bit bigger than 4mm (4.9mm inner diameter braided PTFE hose). but this should work. Thoughts? Otherwise I will weld and adapter onto the turbo.   
    • Looks great, I hope everything is working well after all that time!
