Yeah man. The water was up to the roof of the baskins under cover car park. Think how high it had to be in his street for that... there's another video that shows his street. It's up to the 60 sign opposite his place :(

we spent the day washing out the basement at work, although flood water didn't actually go in there just the fact it was empty was a good enough reason to wash the thing out, 4 years or build up was pretty foul

If no one else needs my help, going to rock up to the boondall volunteer point tomorrow for the arvo shift:

http://www.couriermail.com.au/news/floodbound-residents-of-brisbanes-western-suburbs-await-supplies/story-e6freon6-1225987482889

(Assuming I can get all the necessary gear from the shops in the morning...)

Anyone else keen?

EDIT: Council link in that article is wrong. Real link: http://www.brisbane.qld.gov.au/#volunteer

Sorry Miso I'm busy doing my turbo swap

Got the 33 one off finally tonight. Started last night for an hour or so, then probably about 3-4 hours today on and off between running to shops, bunnings, the girlfriend's place, yatta yatta yatta. No real issues, just needed to get a 24mm socket and then some gasket goo later this arvo before repco closed.

Both dump and turbo manifold gasket are sweet, near new. I had an inkling that my turbo was not the original one (no heatshield, and looks in generally worse condition than the rest of my motor) so this helped confirm that. Also the 6 dump bolts were easy, and the 4 manifold nuts were barely tighter than finger-tight after moving the lock tabs out of the way. Banjo bolts were a pain and I've lost all the coolant out of the block but oh well, I've got another 2 bottles in the garage.

Now have the 34 one lined up, oil return in and dump bolted up for now. Might give the rest a go later tonight if I can be bothered, otherwise tomorrow.

Pretty happy, first time I've removed a turbo and it mostly went to plan. Hardest part was having to get under the car to undo the bottom bolts on the dump, not much room in there lol

All good, it's a bit late notice.

I will figure it out tomorrow. Started late in the arvo today, and took a while to remove all the interior, belts, lining, seats etc.

Hopefully the weather holds tomorrow, as I have to do it all in the front yard. No room in the garage

      Car Rotisserie

      By The Bogan · Posted

      Apologies if I sounded like a arse My point was that you will not be able to buy a rotisserie that suits your car, you get the rotisserie frame, and then fabricate parts to mount the rotisserie frame to the body The rotisserie side is easy, but the fabrication of the actual mounts is the tricky part, where to mount so you don't bend/twist the body, plus the geometry involved to get it to turn  If your capable at fabrication, and can work out where the C/L is in relation to the weight is so it actually can turn, you should be sweet I would love to see the progress on this just for the thought processes and fabrication

      Series 2 R33 GTS25T?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Type "M2" means it's a series 2. I would not be shocked to learn that the production changeover was somewhat lax and a late 12/95 production car actually got mostly series 2 parts with a bit of series 1 leftover. Post the VIN and it'll be easier to investigate.

      Fuel Flow Regulator Hose Restrictors

      By Skip33 · Posted

      I've ordered a new fuel pump and plan to do all the fuel tank hoses at the same time. Those are the hoses I would rather not go on the road.
