haha i was getting used to using the bucket, was getting good at it too. :) This hose thing takes longer to wash away the soapy water, but much more convenient and less water spots.

I can't believe our government is stupid enough to relax water restrictions now that we have some decent water in the dam. I mean it's not like it's full. they are morons. most peolpe have gotten used to the restrictions and work within the laws without any problems. so just leave it that way and let our dam fill even more. 60% in my eyes is no good. if it were at 85% I'd say sure go for it. but 60% is nothing to cheer about.

The thing is with the water restrictions just gone - why did the government force people to use buckets or go to a car wash?

1) The bucket argument does not hold true. Sydney uni did an experiment and a trigger hose used less water overall.

2) The carwash argument is utter crap. My brother-in-law owns a chain of carwashes in Sydney's west and he laughed all the way to the bank when these restrictions came in place. You see car washes DO NOT USE recycled water (well at least his don't). He said maybe 10% of them use recycled water as it costs more to setup and there is no legal requirement to do so, so it makes poor business sense. So how can anyone believe a carwash which uses hundreds of litres of water is better than washing your car on the front lawn?

State government stupidity makes me angry...

thats what the de-salination plant is for!! they should have built it many years ago! screw water restrictions, we live in one of the most developed western countries on earth and yet we struggle with something as trivial as water supply.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
