Whats Going On ? Melbourne Out Of Power?


Recommended Posts

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.

Power went at around 4 in my building in mt waverley, we all packed up and left at 4:30... no power at home in glen waverley til 6:30

haha..my bro would have been happy - that grumpus wouldnt have gotten any sleep last night cos his kid would have kept him up....

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.

    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers 
    • The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
