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

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).

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
