Name 3.

(Im just interested to know what other ones you think of.)

ok.. this is petty :rofl: but well..

1. Transfer $5 automatically via netbank into an ING, etc savings account each week. You wouldn't even notice it, and bang, $250 at the end of the year. Stop stuffing around with stressing about petrol!

2. Don't send pointless SMS with "yes", or "no". More than 2 SMS, pick up the damn phone to say or organise what you need to - it's cheaper! Or if you are home, call from a home phone to a mobile, it's usually always cheaper. Save $10 a week easy.

3. Shop around for better phone plan, mobile plan, etc.. Don't waste money on fancy mobiles to be fashionable that you don't use half the features anyhow. Don't get locked into expensive plans for 2 years, etc by which time the phone is throw away anyhow.

4. Go to the butcher to buy your meat and or grocer to buy your fruit/veg. Supermarket meat costs a lot more for the convenience. I can bet you'd save a lot more than $5 a week on this one. Check the prices sometime.

5. Go to the supermarket and buy things that are on special in bulk. Not supid things, but just the things you buy week in week out anyhow that store.

6. Don't be lazy and buy junk food.. cooking real food is cheaper. Make your lunch each day rather than buying. $5 a day saved easy.

7. Wait until Tuesdays or so when the prices are always cheaper on petrol. You could then go find that place that has it that 3-5c cheaper on that day and then save maybe 60L x 5c = $3, but well, $3! CBF.

8. blah.. none of the above are particularly hard, there is plenty more.

Not that I really do all of these things :) but it's mainly just because I can't be bothered with the stuff around going out my way to save a few bucks, or sit there letting minor things worry me like "oh no, better not fill up here, it's 5c more expensive than if I went up the road!", and have a cry about the petrol prices. If I want to save money I'd do all the above before worrying about petrol.

It seems like petrol prices consumes everybody when there are more important things in life to worry about, and so many other ways people waste money in their day to day things. It's funny to me.

    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
