+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.

    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
