Anyone know a rough cost of how much it would cost to get 7-8 power-points added around a house, and any recommendations on people who do electrical & data cabling?

Really depends on the age of the house and the way its all setup but the cost will generally be the same no matter what. It's the quality of work that will differ, in terms of installation. If you want to do it on the cheap, speak to a few of the younger trades-type call out and discuss cash in hand. Ive found that the younger sub contract blokes do a good job to create a good rep for themselves. I'll ask around for some good ones if I hear of any I'll let you know

My family friend, Larry from Terson Industries (in white pages), could give you a quote Jenna.

regarding my stagea, was parked at home, vandalized between 2.30-6.30am. I wouldnt mind if the insurance co simply said either writeoff, or full respray. anything else doesnt seem worthwhile going thru insurance. Sort of over it to tell the truth. With my chronic knee pain all I can think of is topping myself. Not a nice way to go thru everyday simply trying to be positive to see out tomorrow.

No need to go that far dude.......there are always greener pastures ahead.

Possibly a good time to start consolidating finances Tangles.......work out what you need and what you don't need then sell......but be patient when selling stuff.

Maybe good idea to stop spending $$ on go fast bits for the cars for awhile.........I know it's easier said than done sometimes.

Hang in there bud :thumbsup:

Reason I'm asking is - if the finance goes through - I may soon own a house. It just needs a heap more power-points and data-cabling through-out.

.. Could soon be living just a few blocks from you, Ruby :)

I guess right now I'm just looking for an idea - like am I looking at like $50-75/point, or more. Once I know I have the house, and moving in then it'll be time for proper quotes.

terson industries (larry & sue dossiter) can give you an approx cost over the phone, no isses with that.

tell them Brendan wilkeson put you onto them & they'll look after you, that I guarantee.

as for my depression, well its just that. stems from 23+yrs of knee pain, with say 17yrs of that classified as "severe/chronic pain"

if I didnt have 2 children I simply wouldnt keep going thru each 24hrs and take the easy way out. they are the only thing that keeps me pushing on.

as for finances, my home is for sale for 375k, after paying out the ex around 100k, and the borrowings Id be left with around 75k. I should not have bought the R32 nor should I have had the work done to the engine this year; my head simply hasnt been seeing straight for some years now; can see the past 3 yrs since Ive been on morphine & pristiq (anti-dep) I havent been making strong decisions motivated towards the future.... Took myself off some medication a cple of weeks ago to try to start thinking clearly again.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!?
