so, this was an interesting day

get my rego renewal for the patrol. tells me to ring them up as there's problems

ring them up

"oh, your car is defected"

"no its not"

"yes it is, 17th march it got done"

"riiiight........i got that cleared"

rang sturt. they punched it into the system and voila..........im still flagged as defected. Said i came in and got it cleared a few days after, but ive since (read: a month ago) ripped up the slip as i thought id never need it again. They just rang me (mid me typing this post) to tell me in the last 3 and a bit hours of checking the till receipts, they found my receipt and have put the defect thru as cleared in the system (finally)

what a lol

Thats why i always keep the defect forms in my glovebox, Its happend to me before aswell.

soooo ..... I bought my new car today :)

It is in the final stages of beig complied, and I will fly to Melbourne to pick it up in a couple of weeks.

Who is up for a road trip? Thining of flying to Melb late Sat 11th July returning Sun 12th July - stay overnight at sister-in-law's place/go out on the piss, then leave early Sunday morning for home.

Please don't ask what it is, and the few people that already know, please don't give it away :rofl:

Cool guys, will work out flights etc tomorrow. So can you 3 let me know if you are 100% up for it? I can 'pay' for you all via frequent flyer points if you each give me $80 (that's what the points equate to), else you could catch the red eye Saturday morning and book your own flight for $139 (cheapest fare) and spend the day in Melbourne before I fly in. Unfortunately the cheapest flights on my desired flight at 3:15pm ex-Adl are $200 :) - hence my offer to pay via Frequent Flyer points - or if you have your own feel free to do that too - 8,000 points. Think about it and let me know tomorrow 100%.

Not sure how many people I want to take .... but 4 of us might be a nice number for a bit of fun. If there is 4 though, we might have to get a hotel room .... but still we all would theoretically fit at my sister-in-laws. Will think harder about that.

Super excited about the car - it is the same colour, model and specs as the one I had discussed with a few of you, but is not the actual car I was looking at - it is a different car (obviously) from Melbourne. Much better car, for a much better deal.

I dunno about the details but I'd be happy to cruise up to the border at keith or mt gambier or whatever and meet up

-D

Hmm, random, spur of the moment flight/road trip?

I'll see what I've got on that weekend :)

that JZX100 markII looks awesome man.

I almost bought on instead of my GTR - Was looking at them and the normal JZX100's. But imo they're still a big 4dr and I wanted something totally different in terms of driving style so thats what pushed me towards the GTR.

Few sexy jzx100's floating around fs

    • 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.
