COVID-19 Streets are empty.

Guest TT-R34

Went for a cruise last night through and around the city, seriously its a ghost town out there. - some cars are out and about taking advantage of the empty streets. 

Wondering if there are still any Brisbane meets happening or week night cruises ?? 

Its been a while since I have been in SAU scene, feel free to delete or link me to a more relevant thread if there is one. 

Here is a pic of my child that takes way to much of my money. :P

You need to take this seriously mate. Trump didn't and as a result a quarter of a million or more Americans could die. There are going to be long term consequences of this pandemic and in the modern connected world it will have to be defeated in every country before  we can expect anything resembling normalcy.

250k is conservative. 8% of the country getting infected is super, super unlikely considering how lax the measures were. Florida didn't shut down the beaches and the net effect is that they helped seed the disease across the entire country: 

 

I was actually in the city today!! Unfortunately couldn't organise meet as I was there for work, but thought this sign kind of paints a different meaning in these current times... Still plenty of cars on the road due to construction and trades still in full swing.

I think most of us have UHF Radio's  (we don't even need to get out of the car)  & as by 'meet' I am meaning just doing some happy laps since the streets are so empty.  

It's not illegal to go for a drive, is it? I went for a drive last night & there were quite a few nice cars just lapping around. 

GTofuS-T - Engine has been changed quite a bit since that photo & yeh it did actually let through some sand from a road work site and screwed by turbo.... but that's a whole other turbo. 

& yeh thatt keep left sign.... righhhhttt.. ?

 

Any way was just a thought to get some socialising in while keeping our distance. 

 

Be safe peeps.

that's debatable, QPol does seem to have gone full retard on this one, i'd be keen though but based on the GC so a bit far for a cruise

Yeah, not sure what's happening in their heads.

Had a few people at work say they have been pulled over and asked where they are going. 

Wherever the f**k I want. Quite a lot of things are still legal to do, and just going for a drive is not harming anybody. If anything, being pulled over has been the only risky thing so far. 

Going to take the motorbike bike for a slow spin up cootha, just to get the fluids in there moving and charge the battery. 

Will see how I go

Good luck with that. Certainly doesn't meet the reasons to be out of your home. It's only a 1500 ish fine...

absolutely this! I saw 2 guys getting fined the other day for sitting on a bench after getting out of the surf... ironically there were 3 cops together to do that important civic duty.

Going home from getting petrol? Just went to the bakery to get breakfast? It doesn't say I need to take a direct route home. 

People are allowed to go out and get hair cuts....

Like I  said, good luck with it. I would imagine if you tried the "doesnt say i need to take a direct route home" you will get a fine.

but hey, you do you.

what would they fine me for....?

There is even a statement from the Minister for Health and Ambulance services stating that motorcycle riding is a form of exercise.

But hey, I will do my research and what I am legally entitled to do, and you can continue to offer misinformed advice, and you do you.

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
