+1 for hating water restrictions, my f**kin garden looks like the fink desert ;)

yeah our front yard is looking parched az...

folks ended up paving and putting fake lawn in the backyard, so it looks kinda normal.... as normal as fake grass can look at least....

-D

I hate it when you sms someone.. and they never reply. Even after repeated sms'

Yeah I have that very problem with a SAU user who decided not to reply to smses, and he turns his phone off when I call to see whats going on. Bad trader rating on the way.

I must admit , I hate water restrictions aswell. But my lawn is the greenest on the street. Why you ask ?

Because it was laid down on perfectly preped soil . 50%loam 50%organic and left to settle for 6 months , then lovingly turned over and gypson applied in large doses .

The next trick was a water smart blend of santa anna grass ((cost $20 for 60sqm) I know the right people) and rolled out and hand watered by watercan for first 2 weeks.

Last of all the tricks is to water well (deep soak to train deep roots) and most important of all is to let it grow a little bit longer than normal in the hot weather.

I havent broken the restrictions once since it was planted last easter (good friday).

So when I see my fellow neighbours watering when they shouldnt , It really pisses me off.

I also hate those bloody cotton and rice farmers up river.

How to fix the river murry down stream . I have come up with an idea to increase of flow down river.

Has anybody got a boat ?

Then keep going back and forth through the locks up the river and back again.

Every time the lock is used , they need to bring the lower level to the same height as the high one so they flood the lock with higher level water. When the boat has passed , they will then let that water back to the lower level to let the next boat move up stream.

Of course when these boats want to come back downstream , they need to let the higher level of water to go down to the lower level , thus dumping the water to the lower side of the lock.

The more boats going back and forth the more water goes downstream .

so Bring on the river murrey cruise . the more boats , the merrier.

Sounds good in logic . :O

If that doesnt work , bring back the bouncing bombs from ww2. lets take out those weirs and locks :)

Come on Ben , Im the mitre10 man. We give the right advice and have everything you need .

We even sell the fake shit.(lawn) :)

To answer one of your questions though , stay real because it has the added bonus of cooling the air that passes of it.

How much heat is absorbed and radiated off of concrete pavers etc . Lawn dosent do that as stated above .

Simple experiment , sit on real grass on 40" day then sit on the drive way.

No brainer really

i hate it when my GF shuts the pantry door. bad habit apparently, but i reckon she is secretly trying to hide all the good food!

:) Life in your house must be stressful. ;)

I hate idiots who contact you regarding something you have for sale, and they offer less than half of what you're asking for. Seriously ... if you ain't got the money, don't waste my f**king time.

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
