I would kill for a $75k mortgage... think more in the region of $280k :P and thats with us paying it off like crazy for the last 2 years!

17.5 yrs old. dodgy knees. real bad. looked ahead. stopped Uni. was already in full time work, so bought 90k home, 11sqm in Woodcroft from my grandma who moved to smaller home in an oldies estate

borrowed 45k from oldies and 45k "other means", after 7yrs owed 45k

sold for 210k

paid back oldies, borrowed 130k from bank and bought 272k 22sqm home in Morphett vale and stagea

got that down to 75k as at now

never travelled, never had a "holiday", dont go out (bad knees so thats ok), but had the nice bike, so I havent missed out so to speak.

but yah, knees are still no go. house valued at 350-380k so we'll look for a 300k home and reduce our morgage again. make it a bit easier on my state-of-mind.

in short - I forsaw that my knees would possibly be a bugga (pain/issues/docs back at age 11) so I decided to start early.

good decision, good decision.

bad knees tho, wouldnt wish them on ANYONE :P

Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

Man you've certainly had a tuff time there but it sounds like you've got your head screwed on the right way with what you've accomplished so far.

A mate of mine that used to be an Inspector at Holden Hill had real bad knees too (probably from chasing too many crooks from his uniform days) and ended up getting a titanium transplant on his real bad knee. Not sure if you've looked into that sort of thing or whether you're even a candidate but I thought it was worth a mention.

yeah they wont do Total Knee Replacements for me as yet due to age and height

only option I had was a) neck myself, or b) rip out both kneecaps and put wedges thru the tibias (to control the legs)

I chose option b) after much thought

this will have to see me thru for a decade.

had to give up my bike riding last year - one day hope to get back on a Sled like yours :ninja:

whats BS?

that we had a coffee this morning?

liar !!!!

pants on fire !!!!!!!!!!!

oh, knee.... errm, yeah

some of the synthetic stitches have come away, leaving the tendons to pop out around their path of travel.

needs to be cleaned up and restitched, ie, tendons/ligaments are stitched together to enable me to bend, in lieu of patella(s)

but yeah, not ready for that atm.

      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

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      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.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      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?
