i spent 1000 on my tools at work and got given 1400 bucks worth from the government for being an apprentice, wtf do you need so many tools for??

yeah, the government grants came into effect when I was in my 3rd yr.

no tool grants.

no rta allowances.

I was one of the last who done it tough.

had no missus and didn't go out.

thought tools were a wiser investment than wasting in a car.

I was right, been through about 6-10 cars since, still have the tools.

and so many tools, to make life easier.

instead of doing things the hard way, the right tool can make a big difference.

ant dawg shreading shit up!!

everyone must get one of these!! so much fun!!

ive seen big guys on these things to if certain people are worried.

60 bucks from kmart but stock wheels are shit so i got green machine ones for another 30 bucks which should last longer.

Which Kmart?

If they is that cheap I'm getting me one ASAP

What sort of brakes do they have?

Oh and Senic drive Merewether or Yule road or Mermorial drive Bar Beach or King Edward Park for down hill skids

waratah had 5 on friday and i got 1 of them.

might have to wait till next week or just shop around for the better "green machine" tyres cause 2 kmarts didnt have them in so i got the last 2 from toys r us.

there could be other costs like the seat may break after time, but if you got a school seat and bolted that on itd be sweet, and if you want to get real good all the 80km/h guys get pumped up tyres and put pvc pipe over them and bearings and bigger axles etc, but i cant see anything being expensive to fix/dodgy up

oh and brakes is just the 2 pads on the rim like a bicycle, not heaps good, i just tightened mine though and its MUCH better.

but think about it, its only metal and bicycle parts, everything is cheap and easy

haha and right on queue, was out the front of mine on the thin foot path for a bit more of a slope, drifted round a corner and didnt go round hard enough, hit the raised grass and it tried to throw me out, heard a slight crack,

seat has a small crack in it now which will probably get bigger haha, anyone good with fibre glass? thinking of just reinforcing this one cause its pretty comfy.

and mounting it a bit better.

may have to start a build thread hahahahahahahhaha

J-Rad I think I still got some fibreglass stuff here in the shed if you want that

The other thing you can do is go to Withworths or Bias and get a fibreglass repair kit, just make sure you get some 400gsm matting as the 200gsm is crap and a waste of time. As for making it stronger some plywood or always works well but fibreglassing is piss easy just have to mix the resin and catalyst in the correct ratio

thinking of getting a school seat now, just cause the stock seat is flimsy. though school seat will look cheap haha.

I will be disapointed if u dont get a bucket seat of some sort and mount it to it, just saying.

Hahaha yeah monthly pays would suck balls

Fortnightly I could live with

And yes a little short this week but not from holidays which rocked but the new company that does the pays at the hospital have f**ked up Melisas pay yet again and not paid her for 32 hours from the last fortnight

And don't even start me on the sick leave and annual leave fiasco the hospital has created.

its not that bad, i get fortnightly pay n sorta cope :P

also finally my coilovers are in australia, in customs now should be here this week :D

Nice one, my car is booked in for Saturday to get my coilovers fitted... Anyone keen for a cruise sat Arvo ha

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
