sa-weeet

plans are changin design wise, my mate was having a look at Podlewski's trailer

fold up ramps = no need for tilt = cost saving

ka-ching ka-ching

yeah, but did you see him putting it on the trailer, front bar was nearly ripped off, but i guess yours aint as low as his, and i dont see how making ramps would work out cheaper than tilt, you sort of need both, and remeber that big ramps = more weight to tow around

yeah, and we've already considered how not to do it after seeing that LOL. The cost saving is purely on that the price he'd given me already hadnt factored ramps (as they were going to be the last thing made anyway), plus you have to have some way of tilting (either a jack / air bag system / etc). The need to not have to tilt has made it a lil bit clearer now :thumbsup: Tilt will still be an option for his future constructions though.

ramps will be made slightly differently to simon's trailer, just the same sort of idea (hinged half way). Luke was talkin bout makin them out of aluminium as opposed to steel anyway (light weight but strong)

Matty, when i see you next i will explain how simple tilt is to make, as i use to make many different styles of tilt, but sort of need to know you basic design to see if it could work, and im more than happy to help out if reqired.

What you think? New from Nissan or just grab one from the wreckers and save some $$$?

Dont get second hand suspension parts (that wear - anything with ball joints etc.) - order a pair of new ones and enjoy the improved ride quality. Some cars chew through tie rods quicker than others (my old valiants were only good for 40,000km if I was lucky) but the improvement when you replaced them was very noticable.

windows vista os composed of 100% pure fail.

farkin, been working on putting some music on a dvd for about 2 hours, havent even got the first discography on the f**king playlist yet. stupid vista. like i said. fail.

i thought we were destined to bad lock due to AWD

could always go aftermarket ikeya formula items. Get more steering lock.

maybe your hardware only just met the minimum requirements there fore vista would run like crap, Cubes says vista isnt too bad

its jam packed full of errors and fail. never using it again.

EDIT

oh i keep sending people on my msn list some sort of spam email

ive checked for virus's trojens only cam up with 6 in avast and got deleted and about 22 in search and destroy and got rid of them and adaware found nothing :cheers: im stumped oh and all these spam mail's aren't in my sent box

Last night I was sitting at home contemplating a quiet night on SAU. An hour later im in a stretch hummer with MC Mayhem, DJ Spin Doctor and DJ Demise, on our way to Live (old night train) for some RNB party.

Myself and Chad had a couple of quiet beers, while our friend Miss R33 had, well, quite a few too many :cheers: Was very funny to watch

Interesting.. The bikes aren't all that much quicker than the a mildly tuned skyline with decent tyres.

Riiiiiiiight! :)

Hmm, thats what we hear the wishful drifters say all the time after our daytime track sessions.

A CBR1000R with slicks ridden by a decent A/B class racer = 1m07s

C/D class racer semi-slicks = 1m14s

V8 Supercar driver = 1m08s

Production car racers = 1m24s

And the average joe in his skyline is also running around those 1m24s times. 10 seconds is alot when it comes to the track. :D

think Joel means your average shmo with a straight street bike against a skylines with sticky street tyres and maybe boost wound up nothing hard from each camp

And are we putting this average street rider with a stock bike against an average driver with an average car?

Or is it only the Skyline driver with the sticky tyres and boost allowed to have the advantage?

:D

Only recently they pit a worked Monaro against a stock Triumph 675 at Phillip Island, and the Triumph won! And we don't consider the Triumph anywhere near a match for something like a CBR or R1 or ZX10 or GSXR.

    • 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.
