SAU pool party and BBQ?

if only i had a pool!

sounds like a go'er. i think i hear ruby volunteering his pool.

my mate invited me round for a swim this arvo, but the pool is heated! its like constant 33 deg, whats the point?

just bacause the thermometer reads 33 degrees doesnt mean the pool is 33 degrees, they take a weird sample temp from a pipe that is normally exposed to sunlight, so it doesnt really mean much. and shit, even if it 33, thats 10+ degrees cooler than it is out of the pool.

yeah that place is freaking hot my old man used to work up there years ago.

UPS's has been going spastic since I got home (and probably before then). Theyve already ran out of charge. And 10 minutes ago there was a spike and everything in the house shut down for a fraction of a second. I'd love to curse etsa but those guys are working their balls off fixing everything. Yep, again I blame all government ;D

you all suck, i work in a kitchen with only enough suction from the canopy fans to just suck a piece of paper you throw at it! dam stingey owners who tap into our only cooling in the kitchen to keep the rest of the hotel cool! so 45 degrees outside, prob a good 55-60 degreees inside! also your in 100% cotton chef jacket, pants, apron! altho i prefer 15degrees over 45 ill shuttup and suck it up

i hear ya on that one bro!! im going up to tailem bend again this weekend to work and not looking forward to it.......gonna be a real stinker in the kitchen over the weekend :(

but ya get thru it in the end :) i just hope the heat keeps all the people away hahaha

yep when its 40 its 40, none of this 45 or 46 it all feels the same pete, but yeasterday just felt the same as every other day, must be 2 used to it now.

haha, it's funny how the body can adjust.

Not long ago, after a cold winter, I remember feeling really hot on the first 25 deg day in October.......if it was 25 deg tomorrow I think we'd now complain about how cold it is, lol

Was speaking to a guy at cricket before who is currently working 7pm til 9am ish shifts for ETSA, got called out yesterday to a transformer than was on fire, thing is they cant just put it out, they have to call the fore brigade after cutting the power to it etc.

You know it's warm when it finally drops below 40'c at 2049hrs, only to reach 40.2'c again at 0300hrs.

As for humidity, this place (Adelaide) doesn't get 'real' humidity... I'd rather 40'c and 10%, than 35'c and 95%.

Try working in Moomba 53 wearing long pants and shirt plus hard hat and 6 billion flies ........... :)

Yep old mans there atm. Used to work 2 weeks on 2 weeks off, heard plenty or stories from there.

Went for a dip at about 9:30 at the beach, was warm air but the water was quite cold, actually gave me shivers. Then I got bitten by sea lice (again) and got out.

I definately agree with you there Matt. Dry heat is easy to climatise, nothing worse than sweating 24/7.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
