2GU Up 2, I think u missed drftr33s point a little. From my limited experience in the automotive industry i have seen that the profit margins seem to be damn thin. Therefore they dont have omney to splash out with and be good to people with. I can make about a 1000 comments about people getting screwed over by dodgy workshops etc but im not going to. What i think that Drft was trying to say is that you will exploited by the people u just want to learn from and will ultimately be unhappy with your choices. Hey i like cooking but if i did it every day at work it would piss me off having to come home and cook. I basically change my oil and do basic stuff and even that pisses me off sometimes, damn electrics, cars are fun but in moderation. But thats just me but. Hey sit back and enjoy the ride u only have to do 200 days a year which is 50 less than the rest of us chumps and we have to stress about paying bills and all that crap. There will be time, if school is not ure thing just wait it out, get a pass and then go do as you please.

SOunds liek uve only had it in there for a few days though. Ive tightened em up pretty good but no luck. Get my license back on firday so ill just drive it every day and i wont have a problem as i takes more than 2 days to run itself down.

Ure not supposed to tell ppl that Cam. The kitty is good........it ahhh........ummm...........oh yeah the environment, yeh yeh its good for that.

Arent we all So left if ure in the car or standing in front of it?

Hmm born and bred West aussie eh Niz. Doesnt know the meaning of humidity, thinks its food. Well one could be mistaken with the thickness of it over there.

I think the humidy has fried their brains. Hey is boxhead still lurking around these days or has he become a statistic and proved me right?

Hehe surprised that hasnt some up before now. Its practiacally a pintara n12 but its called a ta-12 ('87). Looks similar to a pintara. With the old nics ca-18det in it. The wiring is dodgy as hell as pretty much every owner has played with it.

Alot of ppl mention the boot globe thing, sounds dodgy. I dont have a globe in the boot nor do i have a globe fitting for one of my tailights so i had to solder the globe to the wire, its gold i tells ya gold!!!

Damn could have told me that before i did it on friday!!! still it didnt die or anything and i only had the lead off for a short time. So ill need to recharge the battery first i guess and then its a trial and error, fuse by fuse nightmare of finding the problem. Right now im going for the alarm as the problem but we shall see. Central locking eh, hmm mine is a bit wonky, good call. I reckon im just gonna go through and pull out my central locking, alarm and turbo timer as they are all busted anyway. Thanks for all the help guys

That sounds reasonable, started it on friday after charging it for 3 days and this morn its falt again. I do have one of those dodgy alarms but it went haywire on me so i got a sparky to "diconnect it" meaning that i no longer need the immbob key ring thing to drive the car, i have since taken it off my keyring. Is there a way to cut it out completely and go back to stock? im no sparky but can i just remove the battery or something? As far a the calcium goes i got some terminal grease this weekend and that should fix the problem by sealing it up good.

I dont think there are any lights in the boot but thats like the light in the fridge enigma, "does it really turn off when u close the door" Im pretty sure it does. The thing im thinking is that the leads are pretty old and they have been taken on and off any amount of times. Some of the lead is a bit frayed an im wondering if this could cause a .....ahhh "arc" or short curciut or something that is using power.?

Oh yeh forgot to mention that. Had the starter motor rebuilt about 3000k ago and he checked out the alternator and said it was putting out enuff current. Dont know if it can drain power or not?? can it? remember its just sitting there im not running it. This is a 1987 nissan auster and the alternator was close to new when i got it about 20000kms ago. EDIT: the previous batterry suffered the same fate, was still like 1 year old. Thought it might be crook but i guess not if the same thing is happening with a new 1

So i bought a new battery 2 weeks back and ran the car a week after it was installed for about 40mins. 7 days later it is dead flat. The only thing i can see that is running is the immobiliser led which i figure could run off the battery for a million years and never run it down. The terminals are getting calcified (bluey white crap) build up on them. Charged the battery enough to start it 2 days ago for 10-15mins and 24hrs later it was dead flat again. I figure i have a drain somewhere but i cant figure out where it would be, id take it to a sparky but i cant get it started to get it there plus i dont get my license back till 12 days from now. Thoughts, recommendations, ideas??? :confused:

100k!!! damn someone will turn him in for sure. Who wants to place bets on wether or not its a firefighter.

Got some great pics my bro took yesterday. The last one looks like an a bomb very cool. EDIT: or should i say the first

u get one killer view from up there. Would be nice but i have phobia about tall buildings, like over 3 stories. I think its the swaying that freaks me out :Paranoid:

Well its not quite showing up on teh IR sat yet. Which means its not too hot. Wish i could zoom in but i managed to get this ala sbs close time. http://www.bom.gov.au/products/IDX1124.shtml There is a little bit of heat on the coast there but i think thats normal.

I must admit i do like how the smoke keeps everything cool and bathes everything in a soft orange light, never did like the sun, got too much as a child.

Got some pics from Saturday when there was fire across the street. Had to compress em so the quality is not all that. I hope they catch the fool whos lighting all these, its no coincidence. The choppers where cool to watch even with a chronic hangover. Was standing in the back yard in my undies watching em and the pilot was having a good laugh watching me scrath me nutz and yawn. They were flying at about 50-100ft at some stages and they had a turnaround time of about 10 mins from leeming to the river and back. Apparently the aim was spot on too.

I once had a pizza that was like a biscuit mmm mcean u did it again. Whats with the crap they put on pizza these days. Who thought of artichoke hearts as a great pizza toppping now thats just dumb. and whats the deal with naming pizzas weird stuff like the charlie brown? codenames huh? its not like they had a fat boy pizza back in the 40s now was it. I have a headache, best monday ever :Paranoid:

Dont worry guys u didnt miss too much. Some guy said something, got banned, thread closed, new mod discussion started and here we are. U might be right with PVA there bambam he can get a little thread close happy from time to time but i wouldnt say any of the mods are or can be perfect. They do tend to get a little amped on occasion, after all they are only human like the rest of us but i believe that their hearts are in the right place. Yes Dan he did have a blue 300 it was there on the day when the supra went bush bashing that thing had some huge rear wheels on it it looked like a dome tent from the back.

Okaaay sorry about that then Niz. Sooooo isnt pizza nice

I am the walrus coo coo ca choo When did i say u were up ureself? doesnt sound like me. Sounds like uve been harbouring something.

Yeh i think last time we met we were sitting on some stairs feeling seedy and squinting in the newly risen sunlight :drooling: Nahh unfortunately im not and no im not an it boy either. thats my bro, thin as and eats total crap.

U ever had deep fried brie? it was spawned from that. Place down in south perth called the boathouse has it. Sounds bad i know but its ultra tasty, well with the amount of fat in it ud hope it would be
