Interior looks shmick mate. Im still waiting for some nismo belt pads that were ordered months ago. Ive found that they just get in the way anyway and can make the belts retract less easier.

i used to own a towing business and for you to put a car on that trailer the car has to be registered or in our case we used a trade plate you need a light board to hang over the back of the car and the trailer needs rego as well . tbh there a pig of a thing to use and tow with hence the reason im about to start building a couple of car trailers in a few weeks . i might even to a step by step guide with photo's as i go along if that would help anyone else thinking of building one .

cheers dean

Great idea Deano.

Start a new thread on it and we'll make sure it's not whored :thumbsup:

yeah mate spot on

i went through regency with some older nissan ones

and yeah he picked up that the belt retracted alot slower

i got the nismo ones right now from a guy on sau for free :3

And now, for something completely different...

I recently got in touch with my inner nerd and decided to learn to fly RC Helicopters... you know, to go fishing, like on the Farmers Union ad :yes:

I've owned RC cars in the past, so this time I wanted a real challenge. No point mucking around with the little toy helicopters (although I did buy a couple of them for shits'n' giggles) straight into the single rotor serious stuff. About $250 delivered (plus about the same in extra spares and batteries and tools etc.) and I'm making progress. This is my third attempt ever at hovering/flying.

These things are not easy to fly, trust me! A microsecond is all it takes to lose concentration and write the thing off in a big way!

And here's what I aim to be capable of with a bit more practice, a shit load of practice actually!

What happens when you get it wrong... this is a $400-500 helicopter

Anyone else into RC Helis or tried flying a 4-6 channel single rotor heli?

when i was younger i few RC planes (propper ones, not electric) for ages.. still have a couple. got pretty good at it and thought i'd try a trainer RS nitro heli ( trainer set up has an instructor linked in to your transmitter and can override any time) and man it was so difficult. took me 30 mins just to get it to take off smoothly and another hour trying to hover... i got pretty fustrated with it hahaha

after some advice - what brand sleeping tablets (prescription) work REALLY well??

Im slowly coming off the Fentynal (Durogesic) slow-release 'morphine' pain-patches, as I dont want to be on this shite any longer (would NOT recommend). Really want to be clean/sober/clear-headed for Uni next year.... I defferred this year as I just wasnt able to concentrate, nor was I dealing with the pain very well.

Im pretty sure that the Durogesic has actually been magnifying pain spikes; feeling ok pain-wise 75% of the time over the past 3 weeks wheras the previos 3 years Id be feeling the pain a fair bit.

This stuff is nasty to come off from, leaves you with constant "heebies / skin-crawlies" as essentially my body is addicted to it, as youd expect. Fentynal is a synthetic; Im faily positive synthetics dont mix well with me. Been having a huge battle with severe depression for 18months now at the least. The best thing I can do for myself, to help ensure I dont go topping myself like my hind-brain keeps telling me to dayin dayout, is to get off the damned drug.

Problem is over the past 3 weeks while Ive been cutting doseage down I find I simply cant sleep at night. Every single night I lay awake until 6-7am, then doze a little during the morning (some days Ive been so tired I havent gotten up at all - not good.) Durning the night trying to relax Im very uncomfortable going thru mild withdrawel & just cant sleep.

Pretty much I want to knock myself out at night for a week or so and just get off this horrible drug. Over the counter sleeping tablets (docile, restavit) dont work at all for me. Any opinions? Im very tired and its stressing me out a bit....

tangles i think u need to see ur doc asap u need some help doesnt sound like ur in a good way

pete u got the taxi zf tuned yet? mines been done for a wile now and its very nice when u feel like being a bit ruff with it and even when ur not u can get a very nice 1-2 change with chirp :thumbsup:

hey matty do you know any place who makes these sort of trailers i can have a chat too about this?

i was thinking if the trailer rego plate was at the back it would be ok, but would really like to ask the trailer makers

off the top of my head i havent seen anywhere in adelaide that makes them, but itd be worth ringing around

what dean said is right though, even though the trailer is registered the car itself is still making contact with the road, so that has to be registered, and you have to have a light bar of some description (and a way of hanging it / mounting it on the back of the car)

And dont forget your wheels. Plus he did say minus driver LOL. Anyone know weight of s13?

SR20det versions are around 1250kg's, the CA versions are around 1150.

My 180 was 1303kg's with me (110kg's) in the car and a full tank of fuel (~50kg's).

Does pete at nistune have a phone number?

Not that I've been able to find, only an email address.

I feel your pain mate , try this

melotonin tablets, natural brain chemical that you loose as you get older and no side effects , most health shops have em for about 10 bucks. useful for long haul flights too. less jet lag

KAVA - KAVA tea, a strong batch mixed with regular black tea(or your favorite tea/coffee) and camomile tea. kava alone taste like tree root and looks like mud. makes your tougue numb for 20 seconds , but after 1 decent cup of tea and you will chillout mentally , you wont feel it kick in but it will relax you enough for sleep in about 20-30 min without nasty anti depression drugs or valuim side effects

just use care not to mix kava with pain killers or asprin. its been used for 10,000 years by natives so dont buy into the hype its toxic . the reported death was somone who mixed a bucket load of panadol with it.

dont booze with it. either.

doesnt leave you hung over the next day either, like pills

if you use a coffee filter to pour the just under boiled water (boiled water is actually burned ) thru you can avoid the twigs in it..lol

available from happy herbs on bank st near maccas, last time I found it. , get the tonga bag for about 20 bucks

fish oil with DHEA omega 3,

glucosamine with chondrotin in it. helps the pain and inflamation without side effects , works great after about 2 weeks of use . like oiling you joints up ..lol

fish oil helps clear your head too.

anything positive you can muster in the day is a help and anything physical you can must will increase your endophines , which will motivate you and make you tired at days end.

cold weather sucks the life out of you.. but sit in the sun 10 min a day , helps the vit. D in your system .

go to the beach and suck in some fresh air (positive ions). close your eyes for 5 min to listen to the waves . think of nothing beside the noise of waves

go to a comedy show and laugh your ass off. till your guts hurt

if your into it meditation helps, I have a good cd that teaches you micro meditation to de- stress only takes less then a min. not a magic fix but it all beats pills and the shite side effects on and off them

hope that helps Brendan ?

Edited by sapphiregraphics

Brendan this will give you something to read OBVIOUSLY i am NOT a Doctor so please see one ASAP

i don't recommend long treatment but a couple -few weeks should be enough to get you off the morph patches

>>Oxazepam<<

again i cant stress enough to see a doctor (not like you can get these without him) and get a dosage regime and a gradual dose reduction regime.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
