Hi guys just thought id say hi, I have been on here for a while but never registered. I am the proud owner of a heavily modded and built R33 GTR and a Toyota GT 86 which is currently getting a 2JZ conversion.

I love my GTR for the awesomeness but its not viable to have as a daily driver and I want to keep the k's off it, im happy with the way my gtr is now and I will not be modding it anymore, im going to sell all the spare bits I have laying around, turbos, electronics, components etc. I will now be focusing on my gt86 which was meant to stay stock or near stock as it is my daily, however it needed more RB ness and I could not resist so its getting a 2jz, I don't believe in engine swapping to other brands, it just not right. It would be so wrong to put an rb into my 86. The closest thing to an rb is a 2j. I love the 86 for the newness and the creature comforts and the skyline for scaring unsuspecting people with the external wastegates. Both are great but at the end of the day its the skyline that's legendary and nothing will ever replace it, not even a 2j 86.

Anyways there will be some good deals on my gararge clean out and I will be making a thread with the history and build of my beloved gtr with heaps of pics and dyno sheets.

I also would like to meet some skyline lads in my area and get to know people and make friends, I have been a bit of a hermit these years but now I have more time I want to persue my passions and meet like minded people. I have seen skyline cruses before up here in fnq so I know there is a club or a similar group of skyline fans. Anyways hello from neil, I will contribute where I can and in anyway I can that's just mee, look forward to meeting you guys.

      Time will tell, they're doing all the admin stuff at the moment. I've submitted all the required details, photos, etc.   I was under the impression that DC coupling is the best approach, i.e.: Solar Array -> Battery Invertor -> Battery  Where as AC Coupling is simpler, however less efficient, i.e.: Solar Array -> Solar Invertor -> Battery Invertor -> Battery

      The price is really great for that kind of capacity. I thought similar setups cost way more. How's your efficiency been with the DC-coupling? I've heard sometimes there can be a bit of a performance loss.

      Long time no random post about shit. So I went down this deep deep rabbit hole of battery storage for the home, ended up locking in a 41.9kWh Fox ESS EQ4800 with 9 units stacked. Battery uses Lithium Iron Phosphate, similar to what you find in those deep cycle boat/caravan batteries. And yes, why did I go with a cheapie brand and not like Synergy? simply because I don't plan to stay at this house for more than another 3~5 years.  The entire install, DC coupling (removal of existing invertor, connecting the current 6.6kW array direct to the battery invertor), new 8kW invertor is $6K all up (after all the rebates etc.). Going with this lot: https://www.aussiesolarbatteries.com.au/ It did seem a bit too good to be true, however seems like the Whirlpool community has vetted it and when it comes to this kind of stuff, they seem to be all over it: https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/thread/9pxj8482?p=38   I've requested for the battery to be installed outside, next to my meter board and not inside - rather have it combust and ignite outside lol.

      In Vic it would be a defect regardless of whether or not you cut a hole in the sheetmetal for the return pipe. The rules in Vic are shitful, and are generally interpreted as you can "make 2 mods to the intake system". Putting an FFP and an FMI onto it will almost certainly be seen as some huge number of intake mods. You really need to speak to an engineer before doing this stuff in VIC.
