f**k am I glad I dont live in Adelaide anymore.. too much vigilante macho bullshit. Oh and a complete disrespect for personal property.

Much safer in Tokyo...where there are virtually NO guns or violence and i can leave my car running and unlocked outside my apartment with the front door wide open and go for an hour walk and nothing will have been touched.

Oh and some of the best martial arts trainers in the world are here. I havent had to use it once.

yeah I agree.....I worked nights in pubs & clubs throughout the late 80's & early 90's and never worried about the braggers & loud ones but we would never turn our backs on the quiet ones 1/2 of them were packing a blade or something.

what about ppl with disabilities????

Ive always earnt my own crust, never taken 1$ from the Govt, BUT, with my situation atm I wont be able to continue being "macho" and soldiering on. sooner or later Im going to have to stop and ask for help.

I don't think he's referring to people who cannot physically work... it's those who voluntarily decide they don't want to work and would rather bludge/steal off others.

CORRECT, don't sweat it too much Tangles, from what I recall from previous threads you are in the minority with a family to support and lucky to still be able to walk.

Unfortunately I have to deal with crooks on a daily basis that are plain lazy bottom feeders that have become leeches and don't know how to support themselves, so they take from others either illegally or legally through govt hand outs.

I don't mind paying taxes to support peeps like yourself that need help, we're just after the other ones.

yeah sorry I read it the wrong way

wasnt having a go or anything (dont read too much into 3x? question marks lol) just sussing out what others thought of those who are being supported on the DSP scheme. ie those who arnt working but being supported by the Govt thru no fault of their own. sorry.

dont want to, but I think its about now I have to start looking & asking for help. having a hard time of it at the moment, cant say Im a smiling chappy thesedays. in fact if I laugh its a telltale sign that Im smashed on 'Dones.

my only will to live is to look after my younglings, but even now Im starting to rue the fact that I even have kids as it means I cant take the easy option out. sad but true. seeing a pysch to try to get my head back on the right track; treating depression under surgeon+gp instruction, buts thats only a bi-effect from the real situation in my opinion. ie you can pop 5 turbos and keep replacing them, but the smart thing would be to find out why the turbo's keep blowing, and fix the real cause. but no that sounds too smart.

I dont see how depression will "go away" when the pain wont, and quite possibly never will. I mean, when I was told that the only option in the next 10yrs ahead of me (after 10 previous surgeries) is to take out the kneecaps prior to doing the TKR's in a decades time was that possibly the tendons might stretch and dislocate like before. was told the chances were minimal though, as in it wont be a problem wink wink nudge nudge, just sign here and we'll book you in. I did all research I could possibly do, and met with quite a few patellectomy patients.

well, 18months on from right knee out and 6 on from left, all I can say is what a crock of shite. Ive learnt not to trust anyone in the health profession, unfortunately. 'cause they are all full of shite. liars, cheats, just after your medical health insurance money, and dont give a stuff how you turn out, and dont give a fuc* about trying to make you more comfortable.

.............. and here I am writing (again) to Dear Diary. jeez I fail.

Sorry to hear about your predicament Tangles :ermm: Yes i've been promised everything by the health profession, and so far nothing has delivered.... so I understand your pain mate. Not being able to get up to goto work, having to deal with specialists, operations, the mental toll it takes, looking after your family at the same time (the only reason I keep doing what I'm doing), going overseas to find treatment, financial burdens.. yeah life can throw some mean shit at you sometimes, and you wanna throw it all in, but then you think about all the people who depend on you. Hope you recover well mate.

Sounds like you're head strong Tangles. Keep at it mate. Kick up a stink if you have to ... but get what you deserve.

Thats basically what its all about: "Get what you deserve"

Try to steal from me, you'll get kneecapped.

On DSP and can't get back on track, then you should get all the assistance and benefits to support you. S = "support" after all.

I know in this great world of ours it doesn't work that way anyway. I'll shut up now ... my mother is Regional Manager for Centrelink :ermm:

hey mate my cousin in the states has a 33 track only car. had somebody do the same thing bout 2am in the morning. and he loves being american cos u get guns along with ur green card apparently lol. anyways bout 5 -6 peeps in the back yard scopin it out so whats he do grabs his 30-30 and aims straight for the middle of them. unfortunately he missed them. sad thing the 33 now has a bullet in its left ribcage.

Jezzus, I've fired a 30-30 a few times and they're big and loud as hell ... nice flames from them tho.

Personally, a much smaller 22 in the legs will always do the trick ... they can't run then. :laughing-smiley-014:

I'll be contacting you guys first if my GTR with GPS tracking ever gets nicked. Will be fun to rock up to the thieves house to get it back... :cheers:

Yep. Got one hell of a kick. Fortunately, I watched my mate fire it a few times and he forewarned me on how to hold the gun and all. The kick still took me by surprise. You know its coming and you know it'll be big and loud ... but when you pull the trigger ... WOW :)

I didn't look as ungraceful as that knob! ;)

Food stamps have'nt helped america and in fact takes away a mans dignity to manage his own finances, crime is high in the states so little or no social security isn't the answer either

why get a job if u can get paid doing nothing

food stamps ftw

bg centrelink

Society has gone soft and we 'rely' on the system.

Hell, Centrelink (aka Social Security) was only designed as a temporary assistance program decades ago. But it stuck and stayed, and now we have people bumming off it.

Yes, the USA is a good example of the system not helping. Take it away. Make people rely upon themselves and not hand outs. Do something with your life, rather than waiting for the Govt to do something for you.

With the exception of people like Tangles of course :)

With the exception of people like Tangles of course :ermm:

well, no not exactly (in terms of MYself, however I acknowledge that say over 50% of ppl with chronic conditions like my own would be on the system, for sure)

as said b4, Ive never taken 1 red cent off the Govt.

always paid my own way, and hope thats the case in the future

just at some stage I may require some "breathing space" to get ontop of health issues, and when/if that day comes then yeah I'll go onto the system for however long necessary.

had to see a pyschiatrist today :)

he's trying to assure me its not a sign of weakness, but I know he's lying :O

Brendan ill give you the tip right now he was'nt lying it takes a strong man to make a call for help like that the easy option as you so put it once before is the cowards way out

hang in there buddy it almost makes me cry for your plight when i read some of the things your going through, just remember you have a network of over 100 friends in SAU

:O

Its not weakness at all dude. You're alot stronger than the piss-asses rorting everything for what its worth.

But sometimes just go with the flow, don't let pride get in the way.

All this help and support is there for people like you.

On a similar note, I just got back from my QEH Ortho appointment today for my broken shoulder. The doctors love people like me :ermm: I heal fast. I was meant to start my physio programme, but did a whole series of tests for movement and strength and passed it with flying colours. So I don't need physio.

I've got the doctors permission to ride again ... and they also reckon I could go back to racing in 4 weeks! :)

    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
