Recommended Posts

guys i used to work with on oil rigs would work 12 on 1 off ones fully retired at 24 after 7 years on the rigs.

Gallardo in the shed for his troubles

I have a mate the same, He retired this year at 32 after 10 years of work as a mining engineer in a gold mine, at first he was in Kalgoolie then he was in Mauritania, worked 3 weeks got 2 weeks off where they would fly him to wherever he wanted and was on 500k a year for his troubles. He has been more or less everywhere in the world and owns 6 houses outright in Perth and Kalgoolie. He is pretty much just living off rental income for as long as he likes.

mine, silver 33 gtr , white wheels and missing rear wing end caps

I do think i recall seeing it out there. Hard to remember a lot of them. So So many cars. But luckily a lot of ppl's cars arent setup for continuous track use and half the cars where parked in the pits cooling down so the track was never too busy lol

what do you mean you need to upgrade your stock radiator when puting out 3x the factory power? and now you tell me i need to add an oil cooler and possibly a trans cooler too???

madness.

  • Like 1

i was speaking to a former truck driver, has his own house and mostly paid off by his early 20's

he was saying you need to seriously think about how/if you can handle killing someone when you hit them, because its not a case of IF its a case of WHEN. he got out of it not too long after he nearly killed a guy that drove through a stop sign without stopping to check traffic.

    • 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.
