Thought id break up the car chat with a different thread.

Was wondering what others do to thats interesting or to keep themselves occupied.

OK WE ALL KNOW WE LIKE CARS AND COMPUTERS.

So besides "working/driving/modding" your car and "playing/fixing/building" computers what do YOU do to keep yourself occupied, better yourself in your spare time :laugh:

I'll start if i must...

Currently:

Homebrew beer

Learning to play electric guitar

Build models (cars...yer i know its car related :laugh:)

Electronic projects (anywhere from building them Jaycar kits to building myself a Tube Amp)

Any one else care to share, or are we all just boring car nerds? :miner:

Apart from Cars, Computers I do bugger all else.

Head out fishing when the weather is good to do so.

The old man has 2 year old Haines Signature 550c, 130hp 2 stroke.

He's currently eyeing off a more fishing suitable Mustang 2250 (? I think it is) Walkaround. Will possibly be a stern drive as the fuel economy of stern drives are pretty damn good.

I'm into my fishing, mostly land based at the moment. I'm on fishsa.com under the same name. I get out there whenever i can :P

I also ride bikes, used to race BMX but in the last year I've converted to MTB as they are easier on the body.

    • 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.
    • planning a r34 rb25 de+t with some other work, rather just have it done in a shop due to space limitations any recommendations? I have most the parts already I seen online Moore Performance and DR Drift any advice appreciated thanks 
    • I’ve read the previous posts so just looking for latest information on how people have dealt with front facing plenum is it a defect etc or didn’t pass roadworthy or was it not noticed? Have a r34 and deciding if I should make a hole on the driver side or not.  I know some people have said blitz return flow but I might get rid of the stock intake down the line for a plenum so I rather set up for that now plus I already have a standard Intercooler. Car is mainly stock  Thanks. 
    • Actually, if having and keeping the stock ECU is the plan, the correct answer is to put Nistune into the ECU and improve the situation, not just look at it.
