  1. real reef inside a X360 http://www.popsci.com.au/diy/projects/done-with-your-360-turn-it-into-an-aquarium
  2. you can wear solar cells woven into your clothes. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2005/01/0114_050114_solarplastic.html http://www.popsci.com.au/technology/military/wearable-solar-panels-developed-by-australian-researchers
  3. yeah I should finish my series of how too do stuff, now I have a HD Vid camera to just film it.haha,, your welcome
  4. hey jack ? geez long time no talk..lol I have 356mm 8pots and 330mm 6 pots rear but havent fit them yet, according to the company they wont fit unless you have 18" wheels and then only some will fit mine are near factory offset Impul NSGT2
  5. suprised you didnt get pinged for a hydro lab investigation , using that much power. fark, you need some solar for sure a paddock full of panels haha
  6. go to america , where ever stop involves being throw to the ground , but I would be honest to say cops dont mess with people as much as here, unless your a total muppet , in LA you can run 30 over the limit as long as everyone is !!! and dont slam lanes like a race car. but in usa if a police car gets behind you for more then 30 seconds , your going to get pulled over for a "check".... late at night , just you and a police car, your farked even if your clean and not speeding he will stop you
  7. but yet, the roads into aldinga need to be lowered to 80k because of the potholes and rollercoaster bumps. from seaford to dinga is like someone carpet bombed the road !!! still get trucks tailgating me at 100 within a metre of my rear end, or others overloaded and barely able to get up to 40k in 100 zone on south rd. every day I drive that road I see unsafe driving in a big way , report it , why they dont do anything about it. or aldinga beach road they paved to within 3 blocks of the beach after 10 years of crazy holes in it, just left the shite bit at the end as a reminder I guess ? it will impress the tour down under people next month. it would stuff a bike rim easy. just opened my power bill, merry farking christmas to me, water bill should be next week , yeah!!! go DESAL.... how about storing the water from rain instead you muppets. you get a lot of rain here compared to spots in usa who have water storage !!!! I guess it could be worse, a bankrupt country ?
  8. yep cheap stuff will end up on the door bottom or falling off in the heat all the time. use name brand only on doors, roofs, bonnets and boots. you dont save much when you consider you have to redo it a few times then buy the good stuff in the end anyhow. clean the panels well first and use a roller ? dont cover drain holes and watch for moving parts , windows, door locks, do it half ass, you will get a half ass job sound too dynamat, stinger, soundstream, second skin, and a lot of other name brand stuff is fine. jaycar not fine, falls off all the time ends up on the floor where it sticks fine to everything in sight,....... you , the cloth, vinyl, glass, just not where it belongs, and tar stains bad your car sounds like its been hacked up by someone who has no clue, I would check a lot of the underdash wires and radio for bare wires, loose connections, but only you if know what your looking at ? DO NOT USE A TEST LIGHT!!!!! and what you think is ground can be a light switch wire , tests like a ground when off, turn on the lights it has power !!!!
  9. how do you think there going to pay for the pollies raises without the increased revenue. other states are being hit as well dont even get me started on australia and the amount of rules that vary so much depending on who you are or where your at in the country, or about engineering a car mod. another money maker that doesnt hold much water in SA
  10. sounds like a job for a pro to sort out, something isnt hooked up right. on radio or alarm or both.
  11. I wouldnt choose either one but you asked so hear ya go........clarion really the biggest difference is the OHM load, one is 4 one is 8 ohm. dont buy until you budget the amp in . a little on power rating. depends on your amp , power and what ohm load it can handle.? the box design , sealed or ported how big is the box in litres and your max budget how loud do you want it, give me a your fav band ? most 5 channel amps are a compromise on max power and the others would exceed your budget easy, a 4 channel can run fronts/rears and a sub easy and more to choose from in 4 channel. even a 2 channel can run the whole car if you know what your doing . what kinda car is going in RX7 based on your id ? year of car please, I owned a few....13 of them..lol and had huge systems the other advice on this question is completely wrong.
  12. mine went to hell once I fitted the new xforce cat. that little restriction from compliance cat to a full 3" or more from front to back , sent the fuel mapping wonky even after resetting the ECU,need to get my nistune ECU slapped in and tuned. and my actuator installed, on a side note who down south can work on skylines and you trust , besides nissan and hp in a box, or grand nissan wreckers ? need my new clutch fitted and look at what kind of crap the other mechanic did wrong when they did the timing belt. before it eats it. belt is a gates kevlar racing belt. does anyone have a Gates/HKS. or non factory belt on factory timing gears ? mine is making a shocking noise like its rubbing randomly , the car does have carbon fiber cover if anyone has issues with the cas not sitting flat because of the cover. the damn drive belts started sqealing this morning too, bunch of farking trained monekys cant even do the belts and hoses without drama who can be recommended for nistune, dyno tune on the GTT down south preffered? I was told garage 7 ?
  13. down south they have outhouses still..lol no low flows now in usa..... you have to flush 4 times to get rid of the dung pile a foot high after a night of tacos and tequila shots.. so much for saving water..???
  14. yep south confeds and yanks up north, I was from the wild west..haha its still legal to walk down the street with a rifle or pistol as long as its not hidden from view. common site during deer season , bunch of pickups, beer, orange vests, elmer fudd fur hats, and 7mm magnum or 30-06 with a better finish then a fancy dining room set has..lol you know the place, every man, woman, child has at least 10 guns each ???
  15. mostly tracked I'd put a ipod in the sun visor and no deck, or speakers. and stop eating fast food .... track cars belong on the track not hybrid hoon cars for the road
  16. No you can make your own cheaper and you dont need such a big setup unless your running mad power and need every base covered , its mostly overkill on anythng but pure , pro racing , massive RPM/boost
  17. OH NO, not in dinga we dont allow full size 2wd trucks here. lol is that a 350 or 454 ? warning dont do burn outs in it or the diff will fall to the ground, I blew one one rainy night in montana being a hoon (doughnuts) on kmarts wet parking lot ..lol its a weak point, boy did I work on a lot of those trucks in usa. your in for a shocker on fuel for that pig, I had a V10 4x4 dodge extended cab, and those chevys were worse on fuel then that. watch the heat, those vapour lock on ethanol fuel and overheat in traffic unless upgraded. , if you need anything my friend bill works for chevy in usa as a master mechanic .20 years now I think and starters that fail from high temp headers , wrap the headers near the starter for sure. looks clean for that year/model
  18. Its ok I applied for oz citizenship now, thought it was about time after 10 yrs the US is full of idiots , walmart used to wonder why sudafed was stolen by the case off the shelf and had to lock it up. and limit the sales to 2 boxes, next thing you know they had mobs of people in one car all buying a few boxes at a time. till they just robbed the truck on the loading dock. these days the economy is so bad its like beruit on a holiday. ... gone to hell for sure. US is a great place to visit still but OZ is home. so steve I have that clutch and the muppets refused to put it in down here. two shops had the car and threw up there hands , too hard basket. who can you recommend down lonsdale way anyone anyone ? besides Morrie at HP in box. I'd do it myself but cant be farked to bench the tranny on the garage floor. alone
  19. its possible for fuel pumps to spin slower , just like a cordless drill running low charge, causing fuel rail pressure to vary and diminish (R31 used to have that problem a lot) when voltage gets low, you loose coil spark power which could cause a misfire and blown engine if your pushing lots of boost or RPM when voltage gets lower you loose ECU functions , it starts to do weird things.malfunctions factory grounds (expensive copper wire ) are the cheapest they could produce and still make the car function. cost control !! NISSAN wires are not the best, they get crusty and break , connections corrode fast as hell . update your main wires is cheap insurance so you come out and your car starts ?
  20. even a 99 dollar crap amp sounds better then any deck power, end story as long as the amp isnt full of hiss because the SN ratio is horrible. but most modern amps are fine. and will improve the sound of even factory speakers dramaticly and adding a sub is leaps and bounds better, even a small one if your building a race car then weight is a issue a street car, not so much. you can only drive the ghey slow speeds legally anyhow. sadalaide is trying to put the city speeds to 40kph , might as well ride a pushy oh you can't because street racers, ute, cab, bus, 4x4, will run you over in the bike lane
  21. save a life at christmas
  22. sounds like its missing some wires. the one I'm thinking of is this one, one wire per spark coil pack, and one new ground in addition to that.along with ground circle battery clamp. , its overkill on most cars unless youe pushing a butt load of boost, and fear misfires under extreme load. if you can post a photo of what you have I would suss you have the old kit, a bar that bolts near firewall, grounds to battery, engine, frame rail and a couple other spots
  23. hey martin,damo its worse when you find someone who speaks , sms speak ... face to face to you . you just want to shake the words out in full sentence structure. they should put those people on tassy... oh wait they already did...lol still room in kentucky
  24. use M105 from MEGS or 3M, to get rid of deep swirls , acid rain, and bad scratches. DO NOT USE , TURTLEWAX not even on a daily. scratch X will remove fine swirls . megs product as well. 3M now owns Megs so you might see mixed brands/package but same stuff. fireglaze works just dont let it dry before buffing, or get it on rubber without removing it asap. impossible to get off once dry. looks foul , not expensive but looks amazing once the car is polished up it seals it off nice. liquid glass , but has to be imported from usa. for show shine like glass, works great on gloss black cars, actaully can protect agaist a burning cig laying on it after a few coats do not use a sponge to wash a car, ever !!! it holds scratching bits no matter how clean you think it is. use a microfiber towel , wash after each use in washer. no fab softener. wax and grease remover is for removing wax, funny enough. use care on black plastic parts , pretty safe to use but test on black ABS plastic or rubber is a no no, . , do not use on bad faded paint, it will make a mess. it will strip off the wax and look dull /streaky until waxed again. not for the faint hearted if your not sure what your doing dont use it.
