Had an interesting day today. This morning one of my horses decided to skin half of his face. Fortunately I was there as am not often and it most likely would have ended in infection and death if he wasn't treated. My vet has never seen anything so bad and neither have I. Therefore if you can stomach some gruesome pictures...

Image of actual injury is quite full on so I shall put it here.

After we sewed him back together :(

And finally.. what caused it:

Nine years of happy until now on the least likely item in the paddock. wtf.

Thanks guys :(

As you can see with the last photo, the chain links around a gate and reconnects to that metal piece in the lhs of the pic. I'm guessing he tried to put his head through to reach 'greener' grass, pulled back and caught the edge on his jaw somehow. Seems ridiculously hard to do but it's the best I've got. Searched the whole paddock for other signs but the hair makes me pretty sure it was here.

Was indeed way too close to his eye but fortunately missed even ripping to the edge, was always about 7mm away. So lucky in some ways but so damn harsh in others. I love this guy, he's the sweetest dopiest horse I've ever had.

Will spend the next couple of weeks watching him like a hawk and injecting penicillin morning and night.

Better chuck him on the dyno to check he still has his 1hp after that :/:P

But nuh that sucks! Lucky it didn't get his eye. Would hate to see the before patching him up pic :/

She posted a before pic if you do want to see it.

Lucky you were there!

Civil engo and enviro engo. I'll probably choose civil.

Just need a 25 in english now

ive heard its hard to find jobs with civil eng.

I reckon enviro eng will be hot property in a couple of years, but its a specialised engineering so its risky...

    • 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.
