I'm fascinated by the whole ebay/earning a decent salary on there. Some of the legit ebay business's that submit earnings to the ATO etc that come up for sale are mind blowing.

Tough gig to get off the ground though

Not super tough, you just need the right product, and a little bit of research, I started up allocating $200 as startup capital, if I blew it, fair enough, if it self sustained...yey!

Did me well enough for a few years with the dash kits (well enough the ATO were very interested in me for a while), I sold ZPE in January to another forum member...so it opened up a few avenues with previous business models that got to the planning stage and never executed. I think Hannah and I have resigned to the fact that I generally don't like being managed by someone else, they normally have less insight than me and it just gets frustrating at their narrow minded inability to run a business. Plus why work your arse off to fill someone else's pockets!

Even the Lab business may end up being an interim one, I'm waiting to see how poorly the Pharmacy business goes with the 'Pharmacy Fiscal Cliff' at the end of this year, then swoop in and buy a PBS number when they're not worth spit and move on with a business model that we trialled at uni, which still doesn't exist in Australia. Our lecturer was very impressed and said if he was younger, he would have actually considered quitting his job and trying it out.

At that stage now. Gold lining the pockets of the business owners and not myself. It's f**king bull shit, oh the stories that I cannot post on here!

I have an aged Ebay account with perfect feedbacks, I should really do something with it haha

Damn straight mate. If I wasn't looking at the opportunity to move into Partnership here, I would start my own thing.

Haha shut up old man, yer would be about a 200k round trip so nah. Went to the one in Ipswich a while back wasnt to bad

Only reason you went was because I was already going down :yucky:

From me.

Who's Chris?

I'm Chris, I am a pretty big deal. I give him enough sh*t/spankings about his LS1 project for everyone on these forums who read what he writes about the abomination

I see, well I'm doing spanking first then Chris can go for his life

Can I get a spanking too? Nick said the your a good sort :wub:

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
