Picking up this tasty treat Thursday. I'm gunna be out of here veeeeerry early Thursday morning.

Do you know it's exceptionally very expensive to transport this car with the parts in it. Just a box in the boot means the diferrence between $600 & $1000.00 and they don't want to know anything.

It's going to cost me about $300.00 Diesel, $170.00 accommodation for a couple of nights + meals and 1500k on the car.

Cheers, D

Cant answer that question, only that they do & I tried to discuss a spare tyre and they say that's part of the car, but I couldn't convince them so I'm picking it up and having a holiday for a couple of days. Feast on some local seafood and imported beverage.

It is all to do with insurance coverage (particularly public liability) for the transport company. Insurers hate unknown risks so the policy issued to the transport company does not cover items that are not part of the car. They have to procure excess insurance coverage if there are additional items, hence the increased cost and administrative hassle.

It's back in town. Cost of fuel up and back was excellent, used just on 200L for round trip of just over 1600k and it's heaps better in the flesh. Was a private import in 1985 and quite possibly a custom order, as it has an R200 diff under the ass end. Not a stock item in an povity pack KHR30 Skyline.

I'm going to do a FAST check on the chassis number, but I expect it to be built 1982 or there abouts.

Cheers, D

      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.
