Knowing a lot of members head up the mt dandy for various reasons, or might reside there, this may be of interest.

CFA SIRENS SURVEY PREAMBLE

In line with CFA sirens policy relating to community alerting, the Dandenong Ranges Community Bushfire Group Inc (DRCBG) is surveying the community to ascertain the level of support across the Dandenong Ranges for use of existing sirens as an alert for residents, to immediately seek further information.

As CFA volunteers within the community play an essential role, so do the CFA sirens for alerting many residents.

CFA Sirens are currently used by most brigades to summon the CFA volunteers to a "000" generated incident. This may be a fire, car accident, a rescue, or many other incidents that require a CFA response. The secondary effect of the "call-out" siren is the alerting of a the community of "an incident" and the need to be cautious on the roads with the CFA responding to the incident.

The DRCBG proposal seeks not to change the way a brigade summons volunteers via the initial "call-out" siren, but to further use the CFA sirens across the Dandenong Ranges for community alerting in the event of a potential or pending emergency.

It is proposed that the siren be distinguishable from the normal call-out siren, either by frequency or length of use, to notify the immediate communities of concern. Education to the community will be essential in the use of these sirens.

DRCBG seeks your support for use of the CFA sirens as a community alert in emergencies requiring immediate attention and further investigation, before evaluating next actions or plans. Sirens are only one of many options for alert available .

If you support the use of sirens as a community alert, please vote YES and inform others in your address book of this survey as a matter of urgency.

To be successful we must show majority community support for this proposal which will be an undertaking of election proportions.

      I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.

      I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.

      It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...

      I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate

      Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
