We pulled out of health insurance.

If you work it out the premium is based on the amount they expect to pay out (an average) plus a healthy profit margin. They assume you will pay more in than you get out. (if you are an averge healthy person)

If you dont have private insurance you can still go private, and medicare will still pay its normal rates (you will have a gap to pay)

Most of the really serious stuff is handeled by the public sector anyway. You can choose to have a baby in a private hospital, but if there are complications you will end up at the Womens and Childrens regardless.

In our case we had one child with private health in a private hospital and it cost us a small fortune in gaps. The second was public, cost us nothing, and the service was just as good (but I didnt get free meals)

My wife had to have a third knee reconstruction, so we saw the top guy in Adelaide (paid to go private due to her complications), had the opp inside 2 weeks and it cost us very little after medicare covered their component (around 2K from memory and much less than a years payments)

I would consider private if they didnt have gaps (I figure thats why i pay my premium) and gave me the choice to see who I like (not a minimul group of budget doctors and hospitals)

Don't use www.iselect.com.au if you are looking for singles cover, use the government website, iselect comes across as being unbiased but in fact the website is owned by like 5 of the big private health insurers, so you will conveniently always get direct into one of their products, which isn't always the best value for money. If you want minimum so you don't get charged the medicare levy thing try Cessnock private health, it doesn't matter if they aren't in your state and you don't deal with them face to face, they direct deposit your returns or send you a cheque. Around $50 after rebate gets you ambulance and lots of other things that you don't get with the other big ones. compare them on the government website you will see that i mean.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.

      AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.

      As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.

      spot the stagea

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
