Call has been made, advise has been given.

Hope all is well... :yes:

I don't think my battery will fit as it has skinny little poles.

If Richards has thicker poles then it might fit?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ there is NO JOKES in this !!! LOL

If you get it Jeremy, we can fit it!!!

Ok so checked the alternater belt its nice n tight. Gauge says the car is sitting on 12v when i turn the ignition but dont start it. and itjumps up and down randomly between about 11.8 to about 15 when i was driving it home without using indicator.or turning on my head lights. I might bring it by the shop tomorrow (if its starts) if thats ok Bren?

I'm gonna take a punt and say it's the Battery dropping a cell.

Sounds to me like the alernator is trying to charge it but when you put the indicators on, the volts dip cause there's little support from the Battery...

But I'm an eternal Noob at these things. :/

Fitting some new tyres on the front of Oldm8 Helga so I can drive to Sydney and slap 12months on her. Gives me some time to save some cash-o to fix the Chassis !

Helga 2.0 coming to a suburb near you soon !

No worries ill come over in my lunch break. Thank you!!!

See you then

Smoooooooooooooooooooooth :P

Why do you need to go to Sydney to put rego on her? o.O

Becuase Helga is rego'd in NSW :( and given my chassis damage trying to get it into ACT is going to be a pain. My cuz knows a guy who doesn't even hoist the cars up when he inspects the cars, so I might be in luck given everythign else on the car is sweet !

Only problem is, I cannot insure it, Just Car knocked me back becuase of the chassis damage :( !

QBN and lots of places in ACT can do NSW rego inspections man, see if you can find someone local to look it over!

is that cos you told them of the existing damage?

This. lol you shouldn't have told them. Should insure the car comprehensively, then slide it up a gutter. Car is written off, chassis damage is a result of the accident, win win.

I tried to get some of the ACT shops to do a rego but they wouldn't touch it until it went over Dickson :P My cousin knows of a guy in Sydney who is very laxed about passing cars. The loudness and lowness doesn't even phase this bloke. Quick dolla aye?

Lying was an option, but I decided not too. Oh well, these things seem to work themselves out if you put in the time and effort. I guess you get an ease of mind if you ever buy anything off me, I wouldn't lie :P

It isn't lying, it's just omitting certain facts lol.

You only need to take it over Dickson if you're going for ACT rego - not NSW. The places you took it were either deadset retarded, or didn't realise you were after NSW pink/blue slip stuff.

The deal with Dickson is people are too shit scared to do a inspection on these type of cars and tell them to go to Dickson.. But you only need to go to Dickson is if it less that 10yrs old. I got my cars changed from nsw to act through a normal inspection place.

But yes leaving out some info is better than screwing yourself to the wall by telling the truth.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
