Allen, the power is down in Southbank.. but St Kilda Rd is ok :)

i work on st kilda road...around 4.30 pm the whole building blew....nothign was working....half of the ct aint...and a good part of dandenong area is gone aswell.

news says its because of a fire that has reached a big powerplant and has caused this.

news is also saying that we need to cut down on the suage or they willl cut all power to melbourne for a while

From another thred

Not doin anything now... left work awhile ago, and am at home chillin. Ha ha... there is no power at my store in Edithvale, I think that all the local residence turned their air con on at the same time. Hope it comes back before we close, other wise I will have to go back down there and guard the store :) . Thats not until mid-nit so I'm hopeful it will..
Power is out in most of the state, due to the bush fires killing some powerlines. Its going to be out for a while, they want every one who have power, to turn TV's and aircons off to get it back on quicker. [bugger] They are trying to divert power from NSW. Also is creating havok on tha roads with no lights... about 1000 out
Yep - no power at the playboy mansion.

I can hear my icecream melting from here...

I'm gettin worried now, I have about $3000- worth of ice cream and frozen stuff in my store. hope it comes back on soon. ooh well nothing I can do.

Power is back now crisis ova...

Yeah half the city power grid is out... Apparently a bushfire in benalia burned out the eleventy-billion kilavolt power connector, effectively cutting off 100,000 Powercor customers in Victoria.

Just got home from work, very warm outside, walk into my apartment building, elevators work, proximity swipe works! w00t. Airconditioner been on all day... ahh lovely. Right now I'm sitting in my apartment, sipping an ice cold beverage :) Might go relax by the pool for a bit...

Most importantly, my computers are all alive and online as usual wootsmiley.gif Excellent.

hahah

Almost all bar 1 traffic light on Stud Road was down today. It was certainly interesting driving through there.

Apparently news reports that the blackouts are from the power lines from NSW being in the fire up at Benella.

Dont lie Dezz.. your pet monkey had to get on the exercise bike to power enough houses in Hoppers that actually have electricity (around 3)

LMFAO! Sorry Dezz that just stole the crown from your DECA design. :):dry:

It made the main BBC site in the UK and here is the article:

pffft Sven's just upset because his country has no power to have a blackout in the first place.

You should be thankful that we tried to use nuclear power and it failed, causing your pet monkey to have abnormal mutated powers.... ive been told it can cycle for 5 hours without drinks.

      It is an absolute lottery. They can and have died at stock boost with low usage at all. The turbos are now anywhere up to 36 years old!

      Huh, wonder why it blew then. I never really beat on the car THAT hard lol I dailyed it and the turbo blew after 6 months

      That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php

      R34 GTT RB rough idle problem with weird RPM gauge fluctuations

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.

      I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
