I was dropping the GF off at work this morning and came across a horrid sight, one written off DR30 4door, some of you may have seen it in HPI before, its a grey/silver over black 4door with crome rims, iron mask front...

looked to me like a one car accident, maybe lost it and rolled, car is oval shaped now...

Hope there were no injuries though....

i'll look tonight for the mag i saw it in and post a pic of it in its better days....

I think it was issue 46 in 2004 and it was the worked FJ20 pumping out 300 hp at rear wheels. It sold a couple of months back. The car was mint and had a lot of nice work done including front mount, bigger injectors, microtech, apexi turbo, fantasy manifold etc. It is also one of the feature cars on FJ20.com

I hope the owner is alright....my thoughts go out to him.

cheers

This makes me sad.. Even worse is I heard the car was advertised in the trading post for 7.5k a wile back.. Obviously some fully sick drifter P plater got his grubby unexperienced hands on it :dry:

I wonder if the owner will now be wrecking it for parts?

    • 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.
    • 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
