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

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

Watching a 9/11 special on Foxtel. 10 years later it's still incredibly shocking footage.

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

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

[rad100]

can anyone confirm, r32 gtst weight is around 1300kg?

[Matty Sherlock]

About 1350 i believe adrian. (100 less than attessa equipped which are supposedly 1450)

[dark.sky]

Yeah a bog stock R32 GTSt is 1320kg without driver.

Keep in mind though in your (and my) case, the RB25 gearbox weighs 45kg more than a RB20 one.

[Nonie_13]

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

[Damo_R34]

about 1150kg

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....

[On Edge]

Does pete at nistune have a phone number?

[Tangles]

sorry, shouldnt have posted that above crap.

just struggling a little, thats all. dont mind me...

[JETURBO]

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

[Matty 31]

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)

[D_Stirls]

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 ?

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.

[Madaz]

heres one for Matty T
