hmm still i would of thought you would of got more than that.

woot scuba diving is awesome I love it the other group of five pulled out so there is just 3 of us the other two are cool people and we ended up having extra time left over to work on anything we wanted. I am trying to master hovering but damm its hard.

yeah i started playing with weights and found 5 weihts were fine two either side of my hips and one in the small of my back. I was working on trying to control my breathing so i sit in different areas in the colum of water.

i'm learning with pro dive we have been doing all the pool work at bulimba and next weekend we go to straddie and do 2 shore dives and 2 boat dive. I have always wanted to do it but have kept putting it off. I am enjoying it so much I will be buying my own fins, boots, snokel and mask.

me and my dad go diving out of our boat a fair bit, prehaps you can come along once your qualified? :mad:

We have our own gear (masks, tanks, vests, fins, etc).

If I was you id go for a lighter weight with less air in your vest. For a start, you wont waste as much air inflating it, you will be more mobile as well as a large amount of weights can be quite uncomfortable. Also, inflating the vest reduces your ability to move around.

Also, how thick is your wetsuit? A thicker wetsuit will cause added bouncy. Personally, I wear a 7mm set of johns and a 5mm top, which adds quite alot of floatation to my setup, meaning I dont have to use a whole lot of air at all to maintain even bouancy (I cant spell that word :wave:)

ahh i was only in a pool so buoyancy is going to be tricky at best, I didn't have the BCD inflated much. I was wearing a 5m wetsuit but wasn't a springer suit. I have passed all the theory and we have done most of the prac next weekend is our first dives in the ocean and as the instructer said it will take us a little bit at the start to setup out equipment but he is very surprised at how quick we have all picked up the skills (esp removing the bcd underwater and putting it back on).

How good are the mares fins as these are a set i am looking at or the aqualung fins?

cool. i used to go snorkelling off mooloolaba in the bay, when i was younger. but i dunno juststopped going, but scuba is alot better if u wanna go deep reef diving.

troy, once u are qualified u have to come up and dive the hmas brisbane off mooloolaba, that would be a good dive, lots of marine life down there since its been sunk. they showed pictures of it on the news a while back 1 year after it was sunk, fish have made it there habitat very quickly same with the coral etc

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
