32's and 33's might be getting a bit old but still has modern technology behind it....look after it and it will look after you

how hard is it to change the harmonic balancer on a RB25???? *looks at dale*

That's just the thing. Their old and finding one that has been looked after well is going to be hard.

Seeing as there cheap now aswell, more young people would own them, thrash them and not look after them.

Sure they have some modern tech init but so does an evo and probably more too.

Just would want something newer.

Each to their own. I personally wouldn't touch anything domestic and if I had to it'd be a Aurion/380 or Magna

My mom also wanted an aurion but when she got one as a rental she didn't like it.

Nothing wrong with domestic cars. Parts are easy and heaps of people that can work on them.

But when I am going to look for another car I'm looking at moving up with something newer domestic or import I really don't mind as long as it newer then what I've had low km and some proof of it been taken care of. Nothing against 33 or 32, shit I've owned both. Just want to move up in the car world haha.

This is true, how many VE's will be on the road in 15-20yrs?

We both know what the quality of domestic market cars are Steve, especially GMH :cool:

But how many commos will have less then 150,000km in 15-20 years like the majority of 15-20 year old imports haha

I don't like holdens but a new car is a new car to me :cool: plus I would want to off load my cars every 2 to 3 years for something else I can't stand owning a car for to long for some reason.

Still want an f6 typhoon or an evo. Evos first choice though :)

And unfortunately I'm bound by confidentiality agreements with both GM and their suppliers I do work for so I can't really say much more....

yeah have to agree....never used to like EVO's but they're growing on me as they are an absolute track weapon and one of the very few cars that GTR's struggle against at Malalla and Hill Climb events.

      Time will tell, they're doing all the admin stuff at the moment. I've submitted all the required details, photos, etc.   I was under the impression that DC coupling is the best approach, i.e.: Solar Array -> Battery Invertor -> Battery  Where as AC Coupling is simpler, however less efficient, i.e.: Solar Array -> Solar Invertor -> Battery Invertor -> Battery

      The price is really great for that kind of capacity. I thought similar setups cost way more. How's your efficiency been with the DC-coupling? I've heard sometimes there can be a bit of a performance loss.

      Long time no random post about shit. So I went down this deep deep rabbit hole of battery storage for the home, ended up locking in a 41.9kWh Fox ESS EQ4800 with 9 units stacked. Battery uses Lithium Iron Phosphate, similar to what you find in those deep cycle boat/caravan batteries. And yes, why did I go with a cheapie brand and not like Synergy? simply because I don't plan to stay at this house for more than another 3~5 years.  The entire install, DC coupling (removal of existing invertor, connecting the current 6.6kW array direct to the battery invertor), new 8kW invertor is $6K all up (after all the rebates etc.). Going with this lot: https://www.aussiesolarbatteries.com.au/ It did seem a bit too good to be true, however seems like the Whirlpool community has vetted it and when it comes to this kind of stuff, they seem to be all over it: https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/thread/9pxj8482?p=38   I've requested for the battery to be installed outside, next to my meter board and not inside - rather have it combust and ignite outside lol.

      In Vic it would be a defect regardless of whether or not you cut a hole in the sheetmetal for the return pipe. The rules in Vic are shitful, and are generally interpreted as you can "make 2 mods to the intake system". Putting an FFP and an FMI onto it will almost certainly be seen as some huge number of intake mods. You really need to speak to an engineer before doing this stuff in VIC.
