I'm sure Ben has pitched a few tents in the back of that thing...

I've carried many types of boxes in the back of that van :starwars:

Was a great day, my van smelt like methanol the whole way to work - perfect way to wakeup at 4am this morning.

Of course! Must have had atleast a dozen people pull me up on the stickers by midday today...

love the sig. Ben...well done.

but...on the 8.07 run you took off so quick down the track you forgot to wait for the rope man. If only you could get your vechicle to take off that quick when you are driving on the other side of the wall. :D

Oh I waited, you were too busy wiping up ur mess!

You should have seen Marks reaction at the top end, I yelled out 8.07 out my van window and he jumped into the air. On the way up it was "yessss" on the way down it was "arghh noooo" so close yet so far from a 7.

Then their was some hoon in a datto 1600 pull up trying to pick him up like it was Kings Cross on a friday night!

You're memory is a bit fuzzy, Ben. The Datto was there long before the white van. :D I drove around the bend in the deep beeping and yelling and waving and I could see Mark saying, "Was it? Did I? What was it?"

So close yet so far. Video is uploading now.

how did i know that ben was talking about you?

    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
