Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

Sorry, up the road towards city. Units next to the servo (used to be BP?) and Dominos (possibly still there???)

Right near where that mechanic crashed the customers porsche and died couple of years back.

Ahh i see, its a 7/11 servo now and dominos is still there, that's pretty close to my place.

The Breeze is good down there, we go to the park to do our work outs by the river, great spot for it.

Everyone thought it would never flood again I think!

Well if they didn't use wivenhoe as water storage we wouldn't have had the problem in the first place :/

Well it is designed with both storage (46% of capacity) and flood mitigation in mind (54%) and is only designed to reduce peak height by a meter, it achieved this in 2011. It was peoples expectations that failed rather than the dam! Most of the water came out of the Lockyer anyway which joins the Brisbane River below the dam, it was all just a series or really unfortunate events.

Yeah I guess. Then started the blame game :/

Yeah, the flood commission was a total joke with the finger pointing, some of my measurments got submitted as evidence to that, had to go and sit there for a day, terrible waste of everyone's time!

Such a fun job :P Do you often get questioned regarding the validity of the data you provide?

Always

Yeah although it's not the best image to have the exec arguing publicly like that :P

Just start a little earlier ;) by the time we get there only the crying is left

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
