Just Fyi, Fire Extinguisher / Blanket $33 @ Rah


Recommended Posts

just thought the south aussies might be interested to know.. the royal adelaide hospital (ground floor, health promotion unit) is selling a fire extinguisher and fire blanket for $33. I haven't checked out the fire extinguisher yet, to see if it's approved for track... but it sounds cheap.

Just had a quick look.. it's either a fire blanket OR a fire extinguisher for $33. Not both sorry bout that.

I only got a quick peak at the sign, didn't go right up to inspect the fire extinguisher because i was on the job. It does say for caravans, workshops, etc. So not sure if it's the correct rating.

If it's AB:E I'd definitely be interested.

Hey oosh.. it's a

1a:10b:e

Does that make it an ABE?? btw, they were selling these things at $45 at west lakes.. they're still available from the RAH for $33 though, not sure for how long.

So I offer this in good faith, but I *might* just be talking crap, so do your own research before making any decisions.

The above being said:

1A 10B:E means it'll do a small class A fire and larger (but still smallish) B,C,D,E fires.

Classes:

A - Wood, paper, etc.

B - Liquids

C - Gas

D - Metal (these are toughest and most incl. this one won't do much good)

E - Electrical

F- Cooking Oils fats - That's where the blanket comes in.

These extinguishers are just good enough to stop a fire getting hold if you move quick enough, but not stop a blaze, that's what the Firey's are for so don't be a hero!

Be aware A:BE dry chemical is super fine, goes EVERYWHERE, and is not real nice on electronics.

So keep it away from your brand new plasma (unless that's on fire).

That's why most business places use Water and CO2, so you might want to consider that around the home, but it isn't as versatile or as effective in most cases.

Just to reiterate:

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
