when were you sneek off to oran park mate, pit crew?

Yeh mate, helping my mate with his Saloon Car, will be on Speedweek on the 12th Nov i think. if you watch it he's #80 in a falcon! Left Thursday morning at 4am towing the car, and got back 8am Monday, you could say a quick trip! :happy:

I could have got some silver tint but it would have cost alot more than i paid ;)

Some of the guys at wynns can do some great tint jobs. i'll try and get some pictures of our tinters car when he gets it back. he has silver tint with flames cut out and red tint for the flames

just thought id mention im an idiot

left my lights on 2day 4 some reason

went 2 jump start my car

and somehow put leads on wrong way and by the time i realised the leads were melting, i heard weird noises n smoke everywhere lol

then it took about an hour afta i started the car for everything to seem to go bk 2 normal. my alarm was making wierd noises but then started working again after a while

any1 know if i would have done anything bad to the car? would have been connected for about 15 secs.

that doesnt sound good at all mate. but to put your mine at ease, an alarm making funny noise is a concern. although mine played up a while back in winter just before i fried my starter motor but its fine now.

been driving all day 2day, seems ok.

although i think ive detuned it, it really laggy and loose power over 4.5k

time 4 a tuneeeee

also need to get front pads, any1 know the type they r, cos every time i go mechanic he had to take them off, trace them and fax 2 his supplier 2 get the right ones in, so i wana know wat type so i can go get the myself

lol your lucky.. I bought a new battery, bloke asked me what side i want the positive I said top right. Got home, it was going dark, couldn't see too well hooked battery up. Upon touching the last terminal i saw a big spark and a big crack noise from the fuse box.

Blown powerfc, blew multiple cheap fuses under the dash and an expensive $35 75amp fuse in the fuse box.

It was a cheap batter so it had the + and - pressed in to the top plastic, so not easy to see at night. :P

    • I might just check it out.. A Q among all those skylines.. lol
    • Time will tell, they're doing all the admin stuff at the moment. I've submitted all the required details, photos, etc.   I was under the impression that DC coupling is the best approach, i.e.: Solar Array -> Battery Invertor -> Battery  Where as AC Coupling is simpler, however less efficient, i.e.: Solar Array -> Solar Invertor -> Battery Invertor -> Battery
    • The price is really great for that kind of capacity. I thought similar setups cost way more. How's your efficiency been with the DC-coupling? I've heard sometimes there can be a bit of a performance loss.
    • Long time no random post about shit. So I went down this deep deep rabbit hole of battery storage for the home, ended up locking in a 41.9kWh Fox ESS EQ4800 with 9 units stacked. Battery uses Lithium Iron Phosphate, similar to what you find in those deep cycle boat/caravan batteries. And yes, why did I go with a cheapie brand and not like Synergy? simply because I don't plan to stay at this house for more than another 3~5 years.  The entire install, DC coupling (removal of existing invertor, connecting the current 6.6kW array direct to the battery invertor), new 8kW invertor is $6K all up (after all the rebates etc.). Going with this lot: https://www.aussiesolarbatteries.com.au/ It did seem a bit too good to be true, however seems like the Whirlpool community has vetted it and when it comes to this kind of stuff, they seem to be all over it: https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/thread/9pxj8482?p=38   I've requested for the battery to be installed outside, next to my meter board and not inside - rather have it combust and ignite outside lol.    
    • In Vic it would be a defect regardless of whether or not you cut a hole in the sheetmetal for the return pipe. The rules in Vic are shitful, and are generally interpreted as you can "make 2 mods to the intake system". Putting an FFP and an FMI onto it will almost certainly be seen as some huge number of intake mods. You really need to speak to an engineer before doing this stuff in VIC.
