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.

    • The spray cans were in the "Kiln" room whilst I was preping the parts,  so probably around 2 hours to get them warmed up, the kiln room has 3 small ovens running at 100°c, 3 medium sized ovens running 100°c, and the large one I used running at 80°c, the room itself was about 28°c, I also spent a bit of time taping up the parts in the room as well, and by the time I was done I would assume that the parts were around that 28°c As for power, I expect a couple of Killerwasps up high would be achievable with the current mods, I'm still running the MZR 2.0 intake and throttle body, and there is a slight mismatch with the 2.0 intake (smaller) and 2.5 intake ports (larger) on the head, this intake is matched and specifically designed to fix this issue with the ports mismatch, the throttle body is also a couple of mm larger, OEM is 65mm, the Bosch is 68mm In the end it will look "prettier" than the molded plastic thing that is the OEM MZR 2.0 intake As for the LSD, it's the OEM Torsen which works fine for what I use the car for, plus, basically no maintenance apart from the occasional oil change
    • I was at Tunehouse in Marrickville (great team over there really know their VR's) , and I spotted this Very clean R35.  
    • Mate , I have the same issue right now with the exhaust noise , if you can tell me what your local guy did , I'll talk to my guys and see if they can do the same. Power is good but it just too loud when put it down. 
    • The other trick I've found with wrinkle black is to put the can in hot water for a bit to warm the paint up, and to pre-heat whatever you're painting. It'll be interesting to see if you pick up any power with the intake, following with interest. Got a proper lsd for this?
