No, I'm not going to 'visit' someone :D

I need to remove an almond tree in the corner of my yard before I can install my pool. Wanna hack it down this weekend, so if anyone in Adelaide has one I can borrow, I'd be happy.

I've used chainsaws many times, so I'm not about to lopp off a limb. Plus I'll have the blades sharpened upon return, so you have it returned in better condition than borrowed.

Anyone?

:blink:

lol, you can tell Ruby is back coz there is already 3 new threads up :D

But serious, kennards hire?

Hoping to avoid having to hire one. Done so before and its expensive and the equipment breaks down. :blink:

I've got 3 trees to remove from my property, but I need to remove one tree now to put in my order for the pool, then hire a bobcat (to prepare the area for the pool).

If I can save a few $ by borrowing one, I'd be happy! :O

You got a problem with my whoring? :D

Roo, I've got one you can borrow on a "you break, you fix" policy :( ......................going to Villis Friday night?

EDIT: Also got a mate that runs a Bobcat business.

Thanks Pete, I'm keen on borrowing that chainsaw. You'll get it in better condition than how you lent it out :kiss: I think the missus has something on Friday night, so I'll get back to you on a time/place to collect.

Also interested in that mate of yours. Its a small job to skim about 10cm of turf from our back yard in an area approx 8m x 4m. I'm installing a pool which has T-bone type wall supports which are hidden the surface (hence the 10cm skimming).

:P

Hey Roo, have you forgotten who owned and ran a pool business for more than 10 years...... :(

I'm aware of that you nitwit :) I'm just wanting to remove the tree. This weekend we're going to organise delivery of the pool. Then I was going to harrass you into giving us a hand ;) I was just going to politely wait for a suitable time when you and Nene are having a better week.

;)

PM sent Roo

Sled, I won't be at Vilis this evening, so can you shoot me your number and I'll SMS you when I work out free time in between all the birthdays this weekend :P

how'd you go Roo..........didn't cut an arm off or anything did you? :thumbsup:
He did Pete, that's why he can't type :D

lol, if that's the case, you still have another arm..........soft

this is for the one arm Roo..............Go Hard or Go Home :)

how'd you go Roo..........didn't cut an arm off or anything did you? :P

Nope. Still in one piece. hate to disappoint people :)

Bloody chainsaw wouldn't start :) Its got spark. Unplugged the lead and turned it over a few times, but can't see any evidence of fuel getting in there. I'm taking the lawnmower to the mower place tomorrow, so I'll have them check over your chainsaw too. Bloody home gardening crap :(

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
