Nick, any good with computers?

as in using them and some of the basic microsoft applications?

yeah i can find my way around a computer. i'll pm u my resume

Sounds interesting, does it actually work?

i wouldn't use it on a skyline i'll put it that way. i mean it works (it keeps it clean) but when you want to try and get rid of it, its a pain. Its a waterless wax

what part of Sydney you in ?

i'm located in kellyville

Man this is like SAU job seek or something!

There's

Www.seek.com.au

Www.mycareer.com.au

Www.careerone.com.au

And plenty of others!

the tanks drink enough petrol as it is, heavy peice's of shit :huh:

Slowww piece of shits..

How much petrol does a tank actually use?

Its diesel right?

Yea they are diesel. And its a lot..

the new aussie's m1a1 abrams are shit for logistics (im a part time gingerbeer, i know) there a f**king nightmare to keep operational. firstly the portable bridges we use arent rated strong enought to carry the tank while its in combat form (around 70tons) i think the bridges are rated to around 60 tons (really the bridge will hold it, but you have to always leave some 'buffer zone' incase shit hits the fan).

fuel. apparently it eats over 50 litres just on start up.

it can take almost anything that burns as fuel, but it prefers jet fuel ( it does have a jet engine)

it takes about 14litres per 1.6 k's. challenger or leo 2 would be much better tanks to have IMHO

I believe its either 53 or 57 I on start up I was reading in the manual the other day.

sorry should've put this in first post. not really interested in labour/trade due to the fact i dont have much experience in that area.

Thanks

P.S: First post edited

LOL, your're a girl. Im doing labour and im on 52k.

I have to admit, im a bit over it now but the moneys good. I would take a little less for a better job though.

It is strange to hear people advocating we buy Pommie tanks in this day & age. If you are worried about the M1's being heavy/slow then god help us if we had Challengers. The Centurians were a good thing, though.

The fundamental problem with the most recent series of tanks (M1's, Leopard 2's, Challengers, even the bloody Le Clerc) is they weigh more than 50 tonnes. So pretty much any tank you choose is going to be too heavy for the equipment designed to work with the previous generation of tanks. You don't get Chobham armour, a 120mm gun plus a 1500hp motor without some extra weight. And yes a gas turbine will chew more fuel than a diesel. But it can run on just about anything.

Atleast the M1's were cheap(ish).

    • Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.
    • So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?
    • Ooo I might actually come and bring the kids, however will leave the shit box home and take the daily
    • Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!
    • That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
