did any1 ever think that the state government may have done this to test there emergency proceedures that have been put in place and how efficient they are. bcoz obviously if they told the public they were going to stop public transport to test, they would have had negative feedback from the public obviously. just bcoz of what my mum told me they used to do to them when she worked at a major hospital in sydney. they used to call a bomb threat and see how quickly staff and security would react then call it off after so long.

What really pissed me off with the trains tonight is the fact that when I was at roma st station. They ran a express cleveland train and not a all stops one. Then within 10-15mins after that, atleast 5 or 6 ipswitch trains came through. not 1 beenleigh, cleveland or goldcoast train came through.

QR has 4 or 5 hr's to prepair a new train timetable but didnt. this was very poorly organised. I was even standing next to a platform person with a CB and the guy who does the public announcements radiod to the guy on the platform askin what train just pulled up.

i would have to say QR systems really do suck and is very poorly organised.

Even if it was a hoax, I think it was a good training session for the emergency services to see what they'd do in an emergency. I'm glad to know that the premier and police commissioner OVER reacted and that if it was a real bomb, hundreds of deaths would have been averted by their actions.

In saying that, I still think the people who did the hoax should be sent to jail.

Bomb hoax accused in court

From: AAP

November 16, 2005

Covered up ... the accused is driven into the Brisbane City Watchhouse / Marc Robertson A 46-year-old truck driver has appeared in a Brisbane court charged over a bomb hoax that brought the city's transport system to a standstill.

Rodney Bruce Watson, from Munruben south-west of Brisbane, did not enter a plea today to four charges in the Brisbane Magistrates Court relating to hoax calls from four telephone boxes.

Buses and trains were brought to a halt at midday on Monday and then between 4.45pm and 5.15pm (AEST), causing peak hour chaos for thousands of commuters.

Senior Sergeant Mark Gorton told the court that Mr Watson's fingerprints were found on three of four phone boxes allegedly used to make hoax calls.

The court was told Mr Watson, whose 46th birthday was on Monday, was arrested in Brisbane late last night. If convicted, he could face up to 10 years' jail.

Magistrate Brian Hine adjourned Mr Watson's bail application until next Monday pending a psychiatric examination.

Mr Watson was remanded in custody to face the same court next Monday.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?

      Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.

      Could be correct. Meter might be that far out. Compare against a known 5 ohm 1% resistor.

      @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap.  (edit: I went out and did it right now, the line I had chosen did appear to have no vacuum on it, it used to go to the front of the intake, I've now completely blocked that one off at the bracket that holds several vacuum lines by the firewall.  I T'd into the vacuum line that goes from that bracket to the vacuum pump at the front of the car, but no change in the MAP readings).  Using the new vacuum line that has obvious vacuum on the hose, im still only getting readings between -6.0 and -5.2.  I'm wondering why the ECU was detecting -5.3 when nothing was connected to the MAP nipple and ECU MAP selected as the source. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.

      Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
