Leigh good life added heaps of powerlifting equipment recently, dunno if I told you since you asked me what it was like. No waiting for anything anymore!

haha i signed up to genesis for a 3 month pass again (wantirna) got a few movie tickets and only 16.95.. notbad to get me by until I move out I only want something short term

nice and close to home again, its weird seeing the same people STILL there after like a year. e.g saw that skinny lady in 40s that always used to train same time as us with that PT lol

Think I killed my turbo at Sandown... It's making horrific loud scream/whine under full boost, even a week later (so it's not heat related)

Bahhh :( Will pull it down on the weekend and see what's up :(

Otherwise it's 3076R time (or similar... suggestions?)

2835... 90% of the power of a 3076 with boost ~800rpm sooner.

Dafuq? Why are they allowed to block a site with cars? Why not arrest them and get a tow truck in to clear it. Instead the cops go there to make sure the illegal protest doesn't turn violent lol

Can you imagine if import owners blocked off a road with cars out of protest? We'd get raped in every orifice and cars impounded on the spot

This.

Do you actually believe what your saying? You see no difference in union behavior when a labor gov is in v a liberal gov?

& liberal did something about it which labor will not cos they are puppets of the redundant unions

CFMEU will be CFMEU no matter who's in power. You are just scare mongering because it suits your myopic political agenda.

How can you not see it's all just propaganda? (from both sides)

It's not like dan andrews is the one in the car blocking the site.

He is standing side by side with union heads and accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars give it time you'll see I'm right

Yes I'm aware liberal get donations too before you go down that path.

Next you'll be telling me the public holiday for the grand final parade is a good thing

Why not? See our income is self generated and not government regulated through Union thuggery and blackmail so we back ourselves in and history of work to determine our income not fall back on EBA's and strikes if something doesn't go our way.

I'm effectively self employed and I'm happy for anyone from anywhere to join the ranks not afraid of competition spose you can't say they same ey?

Bad example Dezz man.

I'm talking about people who are happy to work for a fraction of your wage because theyre from poor countries. So they come here and take the job, only to realise Australia isn't a third world shit hole and then suddenly feel they're entitled to the same money we're on....

You sell houses to people looking to buy houses. I don't think there's too much skill involved.

Flood the industry with overseas workers and we'll see how much your worth

lol you have no idea what your talking about

Call 3 agents to your house and ask them how much it will cost you to sell without any doubt they'll all charge different amounts - heck I know one office who does the whole thing marketing and all for $5000 (they are hopeless but that's a side story) we charge double that. I could do it for $5 if I want to no unions are gonna strike and cry about it.

The difference with my industry is the market determines our value .. unions don't allow the market to determine your value.

If there's no skill involved in what I do why don't you come do it? Hell why doesn't everyone do it? I mean we make more money than most people (the good agents) sit in an office doing sweet f.a right? Why sweat it out on a building site? for what it's worth buyers don't pay is selling a house is the easy part and about 10% of what we do.

    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
    • To drain the Intake Heat Exchanger, there is a crappy drain plug in front of the driver's side front tyre: You should use the largest headed phillips screwdriver you had, and in my case I needed vice grips on the hose above as the plug was tight (tighter than it needed to be, since it has an o-ring seal).  After you have a tray down and open the drain, open the intake heat exchanger reservoir cap (drivers side one) and you should get a couple of litres of coolant To get to the radiator, you need to remove the plastic engine undertray. It is held on with a series of 10mm headed bolts and some clips. For the radiator, there is another type of crappy drain (kind of like a plastic banjo bolt) and you should attach a length of hose to direct the stream of coolant per this pic (otherwise the coolant hits the rad support and goes everywhere). The drain is on the rear of the radiator on the driver's side and a bit hard to find. Put a big tray or bucket down (5l won't be enough) and slowly unscrew the fitting by hand. You only want to remove it far enough for coolant to flow, it you unscrew it right out the whole fitting and direction pipe will come off and you will get a coolant bath (yum!). Undo the radiator reservoir cap and it should empty about 8l
    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You also need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator so you will need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. 2 other tools that really help dealing with coolant lines and spring clamps are Bent Needle Nose pliers Hose pliers Between them they will reduce the frustration (and injury) potential by about 1000% Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
