Hi guys, first time poster, not really a long term reader, not new to the scene or cars not even imports, just never bothered with the forum side of things.

i have been around cars since i was knee high to a grass hopper, grew up with my brothers who were right into the car scene 15-20 years ago (im 25 now so that shows how long i have been in it), not much has honestly changed in the car scene, pretty much the car scene has had the same types of people, the hard core enthusiasts, the geeky car owner and the slappers that come with it.

the only thing to change is the cars and the police problems oh and the places to go, they eliminated most of the meet up spots and things to do like magic mountain, timezone etc.

well any way, i will complete my profile a little later and add pics etc.

current ride is a 92 R32 GTS-T, allegid mods are;

cushion button clutch (with a noisy thrust bearing, may be stuffed might be because its a standard bearing and the clutch is too heavy, who knows) r33 turbo with r33 actuator, gtr looking front mount, split dump pipe, 3inch exhaust, standard cat, some sort of coil over shock suspension, standard bushes everywhere (massive axel tramp going on), clarion tv/dvd player, GFB bleed valve, couple gauges, 6x9's up front, whiteline strut bars, option audio subs and amps, no rear wing (not cool need the third brake light) oh and a ton of knocks and rattles going over bumps, suspecting exhaust mounts and bushes.

future mods;

gps tracker, temp gauge, those alloy things to stop tramp, temp gauge (oem isnt working), decent service, decent boost controller, decent turbo, decent piping, decent exhaust, isotta interior bits, get everything looking good, respray and thats about it.

i hold a degree of automotive engineering, previous cars up around the hundreds but include, 32 gtrs, a walkinshaw, 32's, a purple 33, bmw's, 400bhp vk calais, exa turbo the list goes on.

i know how to use a search button so i avoid asking stupid things but sometimes if you dont know you will never know if you dont ASK!

yeah, i will get some pics up soon, when the weather is a bit better maybe after a detail.

so any way on the weekend i put a bosch 040 fuel pump in, discovered there is actually an apexi turbo timer installed but wth out the controller :/ so need to get another one, maybe, who knows.

i also put in a water temp sender for the dash as ours stopped working but now it just jumps straight up to half way and sits there, the actuator for the heater/air con isnt moving, not sure why.......

purchased a blitz twin sbc for her so i will eventually get around to that, put the tv dvd player in sub etc etc, so the misses has some beats.

i have noticed a lot of knocking rattling clicking noises going on, i will get around to diagnostics eventually, looking at some sub frame bushes and a hicas lock bar.

put a rear wing on just a gtst wing i got for 50 from a fb random, but also have a gtr wing coming so yeah (i think spoilers are gay but i really cannot be effed installing an eye level brake light in the rear window yet.

does anyone else's doors rattle? mine seem as though they are not shut properly or something is loose, also the passenger window needs to be pushed from the window so the window goes under this metal thing?????

who knows but insured for 10k so :woot:

needs a respray i think, so i will wait for summer oh and found a spot of rust :angry:

but if anyone has a front reo going for sale please let me know but only in adelaide and prefer south of cbd

cheers guys

    • My 3.8 kW system (when new, not so much nearly 20 yrs later) will do 21 kWh per day (best few months of the year), and that's with an afternoon shading issue. So it really could/should be able to do maybe 24. So a 6.6 kW system probably cannot fill a 40ish kWh battery from scratch, but then it is very unlikely to ever need to. Let's presume that you use 10-15 kWh during the day and stash the rest. So long as the battery isn't drawn down below ~50%, it'll be fine. And that draw down presumes using 20 kWh overnight, which is a reasonably heavy draw. So that seems reasonable. The 40kWh will be good for extended outages, and very bad days where you get almost no generation for a day or two. Might struggle to top it all the way back up after it gets pulled all the way down though. I'd think you'd probably want about 10 kW of panels to make life a little easier, wrt keeping a 40 kWh battery charged. But then....does it really need to be at 100% every day? Probably not.
    • Am I wrong in thinking that there is a hell of a lot of battery storage for a 6.6 feed into it Your battery is around 4 times bigger than the battery that is going into my place in a week, but I have nearly twice the feed Will the batteries actually ever get fully charged? School me on the science bitches   
    • Wow ELVIS. You have an....interesting approach to conversation. Did you not notice that I wasn't talking to you?
    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
