Yea so much stuff has been canned today cos of this dust storm aparently like 4 or 5 gigs booked today have been canned just cos the clients have decided they dont want to hold an event today cos people wont attend.

i wish my gig would do that but no mine just keeps going dust or not.

In all my 49 years on this particular planet I have only ever experienced such a dust/sand/soil storm once and I was like about 9.

Bloody amazing.

I painted the radicals front splitter in the garage last night in yellow and expected it to be brown when I got home,,,but no all is good and my big puppy is clean..

Go figure,,,.

Some poor farmers will be crying,,,where's all my top soil?. I feel for them unfortunate buggers.

If my memory serves me correctly, it was 49 yrs & 9 mnths ago that there was another big dust storm like this one.

TV programming shut down late at night.

Dust storm was raging outside.

Your parents went to bed early & Neil was conceived ! :D

as far as I'm concerned they can come over and take all their shit back!

ewwww

Was outside working in it from 5am till 2pm. Got halfway up the mountains by 8am and had light rain which got rid of the dust but made my truck look like I had been driving through mud.

The worst part of the day was the wind up the top of the mountains, I was in the back of the truck sorting out boxes and got hit by the wind side on that I actually thought another Landcruiser had smashed into me, thats how badly the truck was rocking.

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
