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.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
