Went Skydiving today... 14,000ft @ Nagambie (on the was to Shepp)

Wasn't too bad - nowhere near the rush i was expecting... So thinking about doing the solo course soonish.

ANYWAY, anyone interested in going up in the next couple of months??? Could organise a few of us to head up on a Sat etc etc.

I'll probably go another tandem again just to get a better feel for it now i know whats going on etc etc.

Overall it was great fun, such a weird sensation... :down:

Trust me when you see other parachuting down while your waiting it really makes you want to go. And seeing that no one plowed into the ground it also a plus lol. Mind you 14000 ft is above the clouds so you fall through them :D when you out there and already start falling any fear you have dissapears. It I'd an awesome sensation even though it really hurts your cheeks lol

We went for my birthday last month at Mission Beach north of Townsville QLD. Ment to be the best jump site in Aus because you can see the entire reef and coastline.

Ash if it wasn't the rush you were expecting you must have balls of steel! I thought it was insane!

I did the mission beach jump too, 14,000ft. Did it on a clear day so could see the whole ocean and beach. Was awesome.

The day before I jumped i was watching others skydive. One of the jumpers parachute didnt deploy and roman candled. He had to deploy the 2nd parachute which is much smaller and they both landed with a thud on the beach haha

Didnt stop me from going on my jump the next day haha

Ye my best mate did a jump from there or maybe Rainbow... somewhere up that north way... view was tops.

Seriously not the rush i was expecting at all. In the plane on the way up i wasn't even getting jittery about it all which was strange lol.

I was like "oh f**k" for about the first 2 seconds as we were spinning around but after that it was all sweet :)

      spot the stagea

      Oh right, I didn't realise it was your car. Please do! Makes me feel better about mine. I also have a big scrape on the front left bumper where someone presumably used the wall to guide the car into a parking spot  But somehow all the funds go towards mechanical things and the cosmetics stay forever unfinished... Interesting, I don't think I have seen it before. But after seeing @PranK's rusty roofline on the BMW I'd probably leave it alone. Wouldn't want water to get in there.

      Infiniti US are teasing a manual Q50 as a way to refresh a (very old) model. https://torquecafe.com/manual-performance-sedans-arent-dead-yet/ Can't be too technically difficult given the Z has the same motor with a manual gearbox......here's hoping there is a JDM version we can import here, that would save me a world of headaches

      It's almost certainly a reluctor generating an "AC" waveform. No, ECUs don't generally read those - they're usually set up for PWM square wave 0-5v stuff.

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?
