If you didn't wanna do it, you wouldn't :D

Yeah, I guess so :(

Being a bookeeper, numbers come natural to me. So the designing of houses and crunching numbers is just a new form of calculating = nerd :P

I was lost at bearers and joists.

So was I :D

They drum it into you hard enough. Things like this you need to know. Otherwise buildings fall down and people die ... pretty much.

For instance, my floors for my extension are made of timber, suspended over natural ground level. Now I need minimum 100mm clearance from ground to any timber member of the floor. If I use the narrowest timber, I could get away with meeting my existing floor level of 300mm above ground. Well I lose 100mm already from the clearance rule, so that leaves 200mm. Due to the length of my floor bearers of some 7.8m in continuous span, I need 190x45mm timber for my bearers. On top of that goes the 190x35mm floor joists. Well 100+190+190=480, which will be 180mm above my existing floor level of the existing building (not including the 22mm floor boards!). However, I can run the floor joists in single span (not continuous span) between (not on top of) the floor bearers = 100+190=290 which means it meets my current floor level. However, the single spans at (still) such a long span means I need to run them every 450mm, not 600mm to keep the 190x35 profile. Or 600mm at 190x45 profile.

So economically:

7.8m / 0.6 (600mm) = (13+1) 14 rows of joists

therefore 190x45 = 8,500 unit x 14 = 119,700

7.8m / 0.45 (450mm) = (17+1) 18 rows of joists

therefore 190x35 = 6,650 units x 18 = 119,700

Economically they will be identical in cost. So I might as well order more 190x45, rather than a bit of 190x35 and a bit of 190x45.

Lost yet??? And thats only the floor!!! I have to do this shit every week! :laugh:

english dude, english.

whoa

that was epic

similar thing happened about 4 or so years ago dave on 31 club, someone was debating that twin 2.5" pipes from a 3" would make it smaller. joel mac comes out with some epic maths and proves otherwise, sorta in the same fashion

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
