hey I'm Joe.

originally from Wellington, NZ, but have lived in SE Melb for 7 years now. pretty new to the whole SAU scene, and fairly new to the mechanical side of vehicles in general (I can change a tyre, check the oil, do an oil change and other simple shit, but knowledge doesn't extent much past that point!)

prior to the discovery of this wonderful website, I spent most of my time playing video games competitively, namely World of Warcraft. I played in two guilds that are fairly reputable, vodka and Adept. Throughout my time playing WoW I met some genuinely amazing people who I keep in contact with to date, however after many years of slaying internet dragons and feeling the adrenaline rush of up to 40 other people, I decided to throw it in the towel and stop relying on my rich rents to get shit done.

I recently purchased my first car, a 98 n/a R34 sedan, however I've been driving unlicensed for the last 4 years (never been pulled up, breath tested once, was not asked for licence); I have zero doubts that I'll be pulled up and fined for something because, well, that's how it works right? -_-

EXTREMELY fond of Reggae music, love that shit. Mad respect for Bob Marley, Katchafire and the likes ~ recently saw Katchafire live at The Forum in Melbourne, was honestly speechless and absolutely drowned myself in the music. I'm also into rap/rnb/soul ~ drake/john legend/otis redding/pusha T, could list heaps more but there's really no point, I'd be here all day.

Pretty eager to learn new shit (I work in Aged Care as a Lifestyle coordinator, with an emphasis on our alzheimer's and dementia residents!) and am open suggestions if anyone has any (in the event that you see one of my posts and think I am making a huge mistake), so yeah!

anyway hope to build some strong friendships and whatnot here, maybe attend a few social events and share a beer or something. thanks for reading.

Firstly, welcome.

secondly, without a license for 4 years?

seriously?

I recommend you get one, then enjoy your car legally.

apart from that, I'm sure you're already loving your car.

hope you find some useful info in these many pages.

I've had it for about 4 months now, but yeah I had been driving for 4yrs without it. Trust me, I agree with you 100%, feels like smoking medicinal marijuana.

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      That's not a transistor --- it's marked ZD1 which makes it a zener diode. As to what the breakdown voltage is, not enough there to divine.

      R34 GTR Seats / No longer reclining

      By bilbo117 · Posted

      Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.

      It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it. Have a fish around amongst these hits https://www.google.com/search?q=surface+mount+transistor+m33&sca_esv=9cb49794e0b2005d&source=hp&ei=2vJ5aNjTB7Kw0PEPldnS8QM&iflsig=AOw8s4IAAAAAaHoA6qkfmF6XcygtrZ4Vu9f92NXF_RFd&ved=0ahUKEwjYqIPP7MWOAxUyGDQIHZWsND4Q4dUDCA8&uact=5&oq=surface+mount+transistor+m33&gs_lp=Egdnd3Mtd2l6IhxzdXJmYWNlIG1vdW50IHRyYW5zaXN0b3IgbTMzMgUQIRigATIFECEYoAEyBRAhGKABMgUQIRigAUjKCFAAWABwAHgAkAEAmAHfAaAB3wGqAQMyLTG4AQPIAQD4AQL4AQGYAgGgAuYBmAMAkgcDMi0xoAfMBLIHAzItMbgH5gHCBwMyLTHIBwU&sclient=gws-wiz

      Blue slip

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
