HI all my fellow brothers and sisters in SEQ.

Having just seen the carnage that is happening with the weather, I on behalf of my fellow northern brethren wish you all the best and hope that everyone is all ok. We understand the pain. We have cyclones.......

Cheers

Joe

Haha, cheers Joe. We just got smashed again for the 3rd time, since sunday, tonight. But it wasn't as bad as the last two...for me at least. Just as i typed that, fat and plentiful rain just started again...maybe i spoke to soon.

as someone who drives around all day for work ive had the biggest troubles and traffic jams in the last 4 days its just not funny the amount of rubbish on the roads and water everywhere you look...

creeks are over flowing everywhere, the rain was so intence on sunday it filled my empty 10,000 litre water tank in less than 60 minutes (through one down pipe)...

we only got power back on monday, wasted so much food etc...

i've never seen it this bad and ive lived on the northside my entire life...

i went for a ride out to northpine dam this afternoon (5 minutres from home) and the in flows are raging torrents, the dam is starting to fill nicely. They said she is at 43% on the new tonight, and it has not been full since like 2001/2002 so its a long time coming...

I live in North Lakes and we actually were barely effected by the storm at all. Yeah we got lots of rain but our house didn't flood or anything. We kept out power too. The front of North Lakes got a decent amount of hail but not the back (which is where i live).

oh ok, I'm up towards the front and I don't think we got any hail, we must have been lucky then. We were crapping ourselves, we have 3 cars and only a 2-car garage, the third had to be reversed up near the front door. We threw some blankets over the bonnet and used some old tyres to hold them down lol

My skyline only got a little damage but it wasn't from the storms it was from the insane wind we had on Saturday. Lifted my car cover up (metal frame with canvas top) and dumped it half in my yard and half in the neighbours. I got most of the marks off the paint (front quarter, door and rear quarter all on the passengers side) so its time to find a decent detailer who will cut and polish to try and get the rest of the marks out.

      Weird compression after rebuild

      By EndZee · Posted

      But if I smoke test 5th cylinder it’s all ok, no leaks  when I try with 2nd it’s leaking exhaust and intake, it doesn’t come from oil dip stick.    so maybe when car was running poorly, rich or sth. Spark plugs were black and covered in charcoal or sth lookalike. could potential contamination make valves not seal properly? is there also a possibility that rb’s don’t have equal performing cooling passages  meaning back of the engine will be hotter than front. Can this cause improper wear if engine was running under load for short time? Or carbon build up could just burnt from 4-6 and is still on 1-3?   I out of my head like really. Timing is as manual crank-exhaust 47, exhaust-intake 38 at this point I thinking about give it a try and make another 500-1000km and check if anything change, if not I will most likely disassemble engine head /or whole engine and send it back to rebuild. It’s killing me

      Yeah. air pressure leakdown test is where I would be headed next here, using one's ears to determine whether it's the valves or bores/rings leaking...

      More likely you didn't bed the rings in correctly and have glazed the bores. Running with misfires on a fresh build is somewhat of a no-no. Surely no-one "smoke tests" the combustion chamber? That's what a leakdown test is for. Smoke testing is, um, a bit of a wank at best, and only really useful for external pipework.

      Attesa pump mount options / ideas? R32 gtr style.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, obviously that kit is not a relocation kit or anything other than just the original isolators and the like. I would suggest that it should be a matter of just bending up some flat bar to build a mount over the top of some other diff, with the flat bar held to the back of the diff by the rear hat bolts. A little welding, a little thinking about how to secure the front of this structure, maybe some different hoses in case you can't get it in just the right place.
