Sorry scott, wasn't really feeling up to it tonight, still getting over my ridiculous Monday night.

Options are probably: Buy a new secondhand one from a wreckers/parts dealer or Get an auto electrician to rebuild it

Posting to late at night makes double posts happen

only ever had 1 thing go wrong with my parents in 10 years of owning it.... Depending on what you want the car for will determine what you buy, i suppose. a $8000 buck 2003 verada is way better bang for buck than a 22K Aurion, as long as you can get over the fact that its not stupidly fast. But hey that isn't the point is it?

Multimeter are 10 bucks at jaycar, presumably they'd have some wires and clips there also.

Mate, there's a much easier way to test the motor than ripping the door trim off of 2 skylines. All you need is a multimeter and a few wires. When you take the plug out of the relay box, there will be 2 wires coming in as a power source and earth, use the multimeter to detect those, it'll have 12V between them. Then find the wires that actually lead to the motor. using the spare wires you have, attach them to the power wires and then to the motor to give it +12V or -12V. (note, be careful as the motor won't stop when it hits the upper/lower limits, that funtionality is housed within the relay). Youcan use that to verify that the motor is working (or isn't working). If it is the relay box you can take them apart and resolder the joints, which fixes the issues most of the time. Until then you could drive aroudn with the door trim off and wires handy to be able to use your window, at least that's what i did for a few days.

1992 r32 gts-t Stock; almost everything, Stock engine, stock intake piping, stock turbo, stock fuel system, stock ignition system upgraded: 3" turbo back exhaust high flow metal cat ARC sidemount notes: there was some missfireing in the midrange.

Considering he links a sales post for it asking for 600 bucks i'd say it's the first option.

Decide for yourself i guess, link. Seemed pretty good to me, any road legal 100mm high car should have no issues.

And to further clarify, they share the ERD building.

I would have been there by 7:45 if i hadn't been held up by an accident on the riverside expressway for half an hour. As it was i got there at 8:15 and scott rocked up a few minutes after. Dam traffic jams to hell. mmm, jam.

You are one remember... Yeah kenmore for me tonight.

Got a 4wd sized hail cover on the cheap back when i got the car. Could fit 2 minis under it easy, about a meter overhang on the skyline.

Looks like ABC just updated that graph. supposedly 50 of the 70 billion other purposes is money given to the state governments, the other 20 billion of it is paying interest, 12 for debt and 8 for "superannuation interest". which i'm assuming means for the government employees super. 12 billion for interest on public debt is a f**kload (even if its not a large part of the overall budget). Considering they're only spending 4 billion on roads, imagine what sort of stuff they could do with national highways if they didn't have to pay off that 12 billion. I mean people are bitching about something like the NBN costing 36 billion over 10 years, yet we spend 12 billion on interest in a single year.

here, i've been going off of the abc's graphic. As you can see the assistance to families is quite a large chunk, much moreso than the assistance to unemployed and sick. According to the news at lunch they supposedly just moved 2 billion dollars of expenditure forward to this year so they could have the surplus this year instead. Seems like a load of crap really (eg them doing it seems like a load of crap, not the report about it). Funny how noone ever the actual debt of the government. Seems more important than if there's a surplus or a deficit.

You are probably correct that to much money goes to families with children (they are of course a massive voting block...), and I am surprised that they haven't cancelled the baby bonus outright yet, it was just a policy to win votes afterall. I mean... if you don't have enough money to have a baby... then don't have a baby, instead of expecting the gov to give you money for it etc. However, only 8.8 billion of the social security money goes to assistance to the unemployed and sick. Once you factor in that most people on it probably legitimately need it, its also peanuts. Most of the social security and welfare bit actually goes to the elderly, disabled and veterans.

Oh well, guess the money for new roads etc has to come from somewhere. Of course the only time politicans will think about you is if you're a voting block of the public. People who are financially secure in a well paying job at a younger age are naturally screwed either way. Can't wait till i'm old and i can get a voice again

change of 3 dollars a year is way better than costs going up

RE: CO2 emissions for biofuels You are forgetting that the CO2 produced by the burning of said biofuels has already been taking out of the atmosphere by the growth of the plants themselves.The only effective emissions are the creation process+transport etc. At the moment E85 produces about 5% less than normal oil based petrol. So yes, there are a lot of emissions producing the stuff. As the emissions of electricity production and transport goes down, so does the emissions of biofuels, theoretically its possible to get them down to zero i guess. Also as far as i know all sugarcane based ethanol doesn't use the sugar part of the plant at all, only the waste part. As for liquid fueled vehicles, there are still a lot of usages that can't be replaced by electric vehicles now or in the foreseeable future. However bioethanol isn't the only way to make liquid fuels, you can also use coal to make oil or methanol. That doesn't reduce emissions but if you don't have any oil its certainly good to have. what this all has to do with backyard race fuels i have no idea

excuses excuses No loss, drive did me good anyway, i'd been inside all day working on assignments.

I should check the forums more, i left a good 30 minutes after those posts...

I'll be there.

Being in a car that flips over then catches on fire is probably the worst thing that can realistically happen for most motorsports (i mean, things like hillclimbs, time attack, etc). Would be a hell of a scary situation.

I only just realised that that was in a car park, not going against traffic in peak hour on a major road.

Probably not, tidal wave of uni work to work through
