SAU Community

Recommended Posts

Im bored which has helped inspire this topic. Im sitting here at work and im wondering what other people that frequent SAU do for fun or to pass the time. You never know who might share your interest (sorry if there is already a tread like this in the ACT section.. i had a look but didnt see anything)

At the moment I am putting my model Chaser together, a couple more coats of paint and some clear coat and she is done

I am into table top wargaming (no not d&d as that is an roll playing game) like warhammer 40k etc. i havent played warhammer for a while but im always up for a game. also battlefleet gothic and inquisitor. anything to do with the warhammer 40k universe really

I also play alot of computer games, at the moment im mainly playing Dawn Of War (Souls Storm on PC) and COD4 (PC). I also have rainbow 6 vegas 1 and 2 (both on PC), grid (ps3), battle field 2 (PC) and numerous others. I sometimes hold LANs at my house so if anyone is interested in lanning let me know and i will let you know about the next one.

Im also watching stargate sg-1 on dvd, im up to season 7

So yea, what do all the rest of you do?

Currentl playing Fallout 3, into warcraft a bit, but not as much as I used to. Have a fair few model cars, but slowly getting rid of them. Might be interested in so,me LAN gaming in the future.

Love computer games but don't have much time to play them anymore. Recent stuff I've been playing is F.E.A.R., Ghost Recon 1 & 2, NFS: Carbon & ProStreet, Company of Heroes, World in Conflict, etc...

I also like taking photos

Usually find myself screwing around with computers, helping friends with theirs & stuff

Mucking around with cars obviously

And I like going to the gym, but spent a bit too much time away recently.

Sheez where to start

When I'm not working for money or working on the car, I'm driving the car or maybe dreaming of buying parts for the car. I spend far too much time on forums. I'm often thinking what would make a good event for Skylines ACT or other groups/friends I am associated with.

Yes I play Fallout 3 currently and other assorted games when time or GF permits

I browse auctions for interesting things, just purchased a coin operated candy machine and a new house today

I spend time with the family, including the pets. They all need time.

I practice martial arts and occasionally get roped into instructing

I cook & clean and do general household stuff, now that really passes the time.

And lastly I occasionally sleep.

LOL what WOW server are you on? I haven't played in over a year but it's a small little community on the Aussie servers!

Hmm I have been studying a lot! I am not going to know what to do with myself next week.... No car and no homework!!

Lucky we just got Silent Hill 5 :) We have quite the selection of gaming consoles here. Big children we are!!

you bunch of gaming nerds :) I like Buzz... that's about it :P

I spend way too much time on the net :P

Love music and am often ripping cd's/sorting out my collection

Go shopping

Go visit family

Walk my dog

Spend a fair bit of time doing SAU club stuff

and the usual dinners, drinks, events with friends

I guess nothing you'd really count as "hobbies" though... maybe I need to find a new one :D

Playing PC games, watching anime, movies or TV series on computer

Go to friends house for lans & to grab more games, animes, movies & TV shows off them & repeat the above again...

& Sleeping takes up 1/2 of my life :P

Wow, all i had to do is cut and paste yours...

but i do R/Cing aswell and im more into Hero's then sg-1 but i'll watch it when its on.

im on WOW every monday, and then there's the drifter....

i see miranda occasionally

*raises hand*

Yep, another gaming fanatic here, both PC and 360.

Also, have a bad habit of getting hooked into Wikipedia.....it's the devil! Open one article just for a quick read only to find myself 4 hours later blurry eyed wondering where the time went.

yep pc gamer here yay i hate WOW tho im more a fps and internet co-op games

i also DJ as a hobby at a local club in canberra.

i play indoor cricket everyfriday with my mates and drink lots of beer till you cant see the ball ha ha

thats about it

ZCR and some of my other friends and i sometimes LAN Dawn of War.. i cant wait for DoW2.. tis going to be awesome

Thought of the Day: Purge the Unclean

hehehe

I was going to reply..............then replied.......looked at my answer and saw that I don't do anything like what everyone else is doing.........I was way different, so went back and deleted my answer so the game tragics could have it.

So I have to agree with Shell.......yawn

Haha, I used to play a lot of games when I was 16 :( Now I am a music nut, with a dementedly eclectic taste. I play guitar. Looking at getting into recording at home. I read a lot of wiki RE history of the world and how it came to be the current shambles it is. I don't mind a bit of origami either. Like photography but need some ideas for where/what to shoot around here (or... I could just go for a random drive :teehee: ). I'm also into Hifi and listening to music on headphones (Dark Side of the Moon!). Oh, car audio too, except my head unit just died (DOH!). Also love a social game of squash (the most bastardy sport I've found so far, making people run).

What martial arts John? I used to do Judo and should really get back into it. Got to green belt when I was 17.

Shell, do you use last.fm ? my last.fm

    • I came here to note that is a zener diode too base on the info there. Based on that, I'd also be suspicious that replacing it, and it's likely to do the same. A lot of use cases will see it used as either voltage protection, or to create a cheap but relatively stable fixed voltage supply. That would mean it has seen more voltage than it should, and has gone into voltage melt down. If there is something else in the circuit dumping out higher than it should voltages, that needs to be found too. It's quite likely they're trying to use the Zener to limit the voltage that is hitting through to the transistor beside it, so what ever goes to the zener is likely a signal, and they're using the transistor in that circuit to amplify it. Especially as it seems they've also got a capacitor across the zener. Looks like there is meant to be something "noisy" to that zener, and what ever it was, had a melt down. Looking at that picture, it also looks like there's some solder joints that really need redoing, and it might be worth having the whole board properly inspected.  Unfortunately, without being able to stick a multimeter on it, and start tracing it all out, I'm pretty much at a loss now to help. I don't even believe I have a climate control board from an R33 around here to pull apart and see if any of the circuit appears similar to give some ideas.
    • Nah - but you won't find anything on dismantling the seats in any such thing anyway.
    • Could be. Could also be that they sit around broken more. To be fair, you almost never see one driving around. I see more R chassis GTRs than the Renault ones.
    • Yeah. Nah. This is why I said My bold for my double emphasis. We're not talking about cars tuned to the edge of det here. We're talking about normal cars. Flame propagation speed and the amount of energy required to ignite the fuel are not significant factors when running at 1500-4000 rpm, and medium to light loads, like nearly every car on the road (except twin cab utes which are driven at 6k and 100% load all the time). There is no shortage of ignition energy available in any petrol engine. If there was, we'd all be in deep shit. The calorific value, on a volume basis, is significantly different, between 98 and 91, and that turns up immediately in consumption numbers. You can see the signal easily if you control for the other variables well enough, and/or collect enough stats. As to not seeing any benefit - we had a couple of EF and EL Falcons in the company fleet back in the late 90s and early 2000s. The EEC IV ECU in those things was particularly good at adding in timing as soon as knock headroom improved, which typically came from putting in some 95 or 98. The responsiveness and power improved noticeably, and the fuel consumption dropped considerably, just from going to 95. Less delta from there to 98 - almost not noticeable, compared to the big differences seen between 91 and 95. Way back in the day, when supermarkets first started selling fuel from their own stations, I did thousands of km in FNQ in a small Toyota. I can't remember if it was a Starlet or an early Yaris. Anyway - the supermarket servos were bringing in cheap fuel from Indonesia, and the other servos were still using locally refined gear. The fuel consumption was typically at least 5%, often as much as 8% worse on the Indo shit, presumably because they had a lot more oxygenated component in the brew, and were probably barely meeting the octane spec. Around the same time or maybe a bit later (like 25 years ago), I could tell the difference between Shell 98 and BP 98, and typically preferred to only use Shell then because the Skyline ran so much better on it. Years later I found the realtionship between them had swapped, as a consequence of yet more refinery closures. So I've only used BP 98 since. Although, I must say that I could not fault the odd tank of United 98 that I've run. It's probably the same stuff. It is also very important to remember that these findings are often dependent on region. With most of the refineries in Oz now dead, there's less variability in local stuff, and he majority of our fuels are not even refined here any more anyway. It probably depends more on which SE Asian refinery is currently cheapest to operate.
    • You don't have an R34 service manual for the body do you? Have found plenty for the engine and drivetrain but nothing else
