Bought an 800W one today. Not sure how well it will connect to batteries but meh, I'll work it out.

Spent the last few days planning and getting stuff ready for camping trip, now the person hosting it is sick and whole thing falls apart day before leaving. What the duck do you do now? Me and the Mrs still go camping and have a mad NYE partying in the bush? Lame

Modified sinewave = good for basic appliances that aren't interrupted by fluctuations in power delivery

Pure sinewave = computers and complicated electronics, as has less static from a smoother sinewave

The rest of the thinking is just making sure the inverter has more (constant, not peak) watts than the appliances running off it.

electrical theory is what i do for a living. think ive got it sorted thanks.

and i dont get people complaining about laptops on inverters. laptop chargers are switched-mode power supplies turning AC to DC. the shape of the wave (unless its particularly shitty) should have little affect on its charging. my dad drove melbourne to Perth using a cheap 300W inverter for laptop, no dramas.

The one we got did a good job at charging phones... but the Macbook Air charger (white brick) made a buzzing sound it doesn't normally do and charged about 50% slower than normal...

We were suprised that the 6 berth campervan we got didn't have any 240v outlets, so we grabbed one in NZ from a Dick Smith Electronics. Connected it up to the Deep Cycle "Home battery" under the seat in the camper. Lovely.

Edit: Note to self, don't try to bring one back into australia with your carry on luggage... It looks very very suspicious when it goes through the bag scanner :P Got pulled aside and asked for inspection

    • That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.
    • They are daft and there's a reason it never caught on. Steering feel? We don't need no stinking steering feel!
    • I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.
    • Define "starting to fail". Wy not just rebuild them?
    • Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
