theres 2 lanes open on the westgate (sounds like an alternate route might be a better idea still!).. but yeah no trucks or motorcycles allowed.. cars are ok atm.

3 separate incidents on the way home where people are stupid, dont look and almost ran into me..

and lights are out not far from my house and people aren't giving way and just flooring it through the lights... HELLO :\

But weirdly enough.. I left like 30mins early (just in case of congestion) and it was nice and quick to get home tonight ;)

even the garbage bin went flying today apparently.. reminds me of when there were those SE floods and a fully restored Trans Am got a modification to its roof.. a 3m skip bin lol ;)

when i was driving into work at about 12.00 in the afternoon there was one of those big green street signs near the airport. When i was about 200m away it lifted up into the air and blew about 100m into the airport, luckily the wind wasnt going the other way or it would of landed on the road. also there was dust everywhere it was like fog i couldn't see anything in the distance. then it rained, now my car is really dirty :/ .

Crazy weather, tree fell on someones car below my office window then an old bloke was out there with what looked like a pair of scissors trying to cut it free!

Someone elses garage door was flapping around while the residents were trying to hold it down!

The city vanished from view with the dust then when the rain came in at about 5pm, appeared like magic again from my office window.

Got home and a big panel had been torn off the garage. :/ Unfortunately it let in all the dust and now the GT-R is coated! Right after I polished it on Sunday too.

Ah well, could have been worse.

Yeah, the two deaths were pretty bad. An elderly lady just walking to shops or something then BAM, wall falls on her. The other being a 47 year old man working then the building he was working on just decides to fall down. :/

RIP

Was on the road all day today unfortunately and seen a whole heap of mayhem but a couple things of note was that yellow panel shop on dandenong road on the right hand side just before you go down under the bridge towards caulfield had its roller door completly gone and was lying on top of a car in there workshop.

Seen three VERY brave tradies on top of an awning on warrigal road who didnt look very happy.

And lastly McDonalds in Yarraville...the golden arches stayed put along with the "c" but there was a huge "donalds" sign on the ground...

Good point Paul about people being more awake when theres no lights. I travelled to Sunshine from Ashwood using warrigal and princes and went through at least 25 sets of dead lights and it was chaos but very organised chaos. Didnt see one intersection with Police in control either. Guess they had other issues today.

Took forever for me to get home to Box Hill. Caught a late train to Camberwell, walked down burke st, walked half way down riversdale rd, then caught a tram for the other half. Then a bus to box hill station. Took me 2.5 hours to get from the city to box hill -.-

Anyone know if Westgate is down today, or a website to find out if it is? I've got to get to Geelong today, and it looks pretty windy out (although nothing on yesterday).

VicRoads advises that all lanes are open on the Westgate Bridge, and that it is open to all vehicle types.

The traffic signals on the bridge are fully operational and drivers are asked to refer to signs for the correct speed limit.

VicRoads urges motorists across the network to take extreme care and avoid non-essential travel.

TMU tried to have anal with me at an orange light, must of thought i wasnt stopping... i just had cold pads LOL

Was going to Emerald when it hit, trees came down, wind was INSANE, volvo got blown around a bit, then on the way home it was greasy as a chapel st resident.

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
