Hook jumper lead a to terminal n and jumper lead b to terminal p. proceed to attach the remaining ends to your testicals.

Car should remain charged for the rest of your life ;)

Are you trying to say i have powerful balls?

generally, the cheap ones are an outright charger only.

the expensive ones have the trickle charge function.

or, take for good drive.

then, disconnect battery.

stops anything draining.

if you want to stop it completely, will have to find whats draining power.

Well say i didn't use the trickle function, would simply hooking up the battery for a while be a bad thing?

If im not mistaken, do you use the trickle function whilst the car is still hooked up to just top it up over a long period of time?

Do 34s have inbuilt security? As I know on falcons this is what drains them over long periods

Don't believe so, but i do have an alarm system so i'm sure that helps chew through a bit.

Morning all. Shitty day 2day.

I paid more in tax last year than my wife made, I want a dole bludger as my butler for that shit.

At least you both have two incomes. And for you to earn more than ur wife she either got paid peanuts or as they say youre 'high income earner'. Which side of the fence do you want to be??? Edited by Ants

Well she was working until she got sick. I am what you would call a "high income earner" I guess. Doesn't really feel like it at the moment though medical bills really break the bank.

Some day's I would rather be on the poor side of the fence, Life was simpler and more care free before I discovered that being a responsible adult is important.

I know plenty of low/mid income earners that are much happier than high income earner. My old man earns a ridiculous amount of money but he has no time to himself or his family...

Does being financially successful outweigh the need for a social life/family obligations in modern society?

I feel ya. Cost of living is insane and medical / health system here is pethetic. Went to private hospital because the wife had complications and we paid on the $300 something for that evening (stayed 3hrs only), then several weeks later we were gettin all these bills from the drs we saw. I was like WTF? What the hell did we pay on that nite for????? Was more upset with their poor administration and that we could not claim it back via Medicare. What farkin joke!!!!

Nick you will find that out out soon enough (maybe when ur a bit older). The key to success is being happy with yourself in life. But even that is not solid state and changes all the time!

The hardest thing for any Parent I would say (and it took me a long time to get this) Is the Sacrifice of quality time with the Kids now so they can have every advantage and the best of everything later.

I burn some serious hours at work and have not had a holiday where work wasn't involved some how (even my honeymoon) But it is all worth it when I get to sit down with my daughter and watch her play violin or any Sunday where I get to watch my son play Football.

Is being successful Important to me...Not really I would be happy being poor, Is it Important to me to set a good example for my kids and give them the best possible start to life....It's worth every single second of overtime and customer complaint.

That's the point I'm trying to make, I grew up in quite a strict but very well off household. Old man is an electrical engineer although has been climbing through management positions within a well known national company for the last 10 years or so.

So as you can imagine, he was around very little as I was growing up. Now that he is approaching 50, he's slowly realising that for all the financial gain he has achieved and physical assets he owns the events he has missed within his families life and the mates he's lost contact with comes no where near close to counterbalancing it in his mind.

And this is something he is finding very hard to come to terms with atm as its impossible to go back and make up all the times he missed...

and this ^ is the right mentality to adopt in today's world IMO.

Holidays you say...... well aside from general public holidays I haven't had one of those for 4 years now!

Sounds like you and I could compare war stories.

Our country needs massive reforms especially around Healthcare and Childcare.

I agree with Nick about money - I took a massive pay cut when I left my management position to become a delivery driver but I'm a lot happier now and I get paid more per hour than I did before.

My wife loves it when I do housework now too :)

    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
