been out fishing four times on various nights/various locations this week, holidays ftw!

we cleaned up a good amount of size and some absolute cracker size blueys off grange jetty late Thursday night / Friday morning. We did throw back a shitload of small ones however. picked up a few big sand crabs too.

Every time we pulled the nets up, never empty. More crabs than an 80s hooker's bush. After 1am we were the only ones on the Jetty, and that's when we bagged most, and the biggest.

it was dodge tide that morning apparently, so we didn't try for fish or squid.

crazy.... ever time I've gone fishing off an adelaide jetty I've caught bugger all except tommies and gar... a crab here and there but certainly not that many... largs pier is generally the one i go to...

looking forward to getting some snapper in a couple weeks time when i'm on the boat but would love some blueys and squid in the meantime.

anyone know if theres anything biting at rapid bay? campsite there is only $5 a night which means you can pitch a tent and sleep after drinking on the jetty so i've been considering it for a cheaparse getaway one weekend.. no point in going if nothings out there though

Gamers form a political party to try and get rid of the current Attorney General :(

http://au.gamespot.com/news/6246654.html?t...adlines;title;3

It's no secret that South Australian Attorney-General Michael Atkinson is frequently challenged by gamers about his stance on the R18+ rating for video games in Australia. But far from the angry letters and e-mails the Attorney-General is used to receiving, a group of gamers have decided to tackle him in a new arena: the political sphere.

Atkinson is now being challenged on his home turf by a new political party dedicated to seeing R18+ introduced. Gamers4Croydon, a 650-strong party set up by campaigner David Doe in September last year, is planning to run its own candidate against Atkinson in the seat of Croydon in the upcoming South Australian election.

This is Michael Atkinson's reply:

"I assume the Gamers4Croydon campaign will involve criminal activities and dirty tricks, which is what I've come to expect from gamers,"

Apparently gamers are criminals and uses dirty tricks :)

Pity I'm not in the Croydon area! I'd vote for them.

Well seems Yellow Fever is setting in on my rear bar. To Cat or not to Cat, that is the question!

keep it, unless u forever want to be using ct18 to remove the exhaust pollution off ur rear bar :) believe me i know (one of the things imma get AM to do for me)

Barely drive the R with the new exhaust, and already there is a nice yellow tinge to go with all the carbon splatter :)

no cat...

thats one pussy you dont want.

If the car wasn't white, i wouldn't worry. But as Ben said, be damned if im going to be scrubbing the rear bar every week or two.

Me thinks i might hit AM up for a nice high flow and get him to refit the ecv while he's at it.

yer, mine being black i suppose i never noticed it..

yer, ppls with black cars always complain about how hard they are to keep clean but once u own a white car, even the smallest thing is visible, be it brake dust, exhaust dust, bird poo etc

looking forward to getting nistune installed on my ecu so i can get my 575 injectors tuned to the nth degree

Never bothered me, because I tend to clean my car nearly every week anyways :)

I've had both and IMO black is way worse.

    • 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.

    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
