rural, fridge was probably older than the house. maybe if the entire wall was black or whole power point was black would you worry.

Martin turning on fridge for the first time:

 

it was the place in melb, fridge bee there for 10 years moved it the otherday for first time and saw that power point.

 

as it is I have surge and UPS on every thing else as they blow up with the electrics in this place.

 

oh well out of here tomorrow.

Looks like I've cracked the gas bill mystery. Meter reader got a digit wrong...
Used 25 cubic meters, not 225 cubic meters. I guess a 3 can sort of look like a 5? Meter was still covered in cobwebs

That's what I said happened to my old man a few posts up ^^^

Bit of a boring race yesterday, once Riciardo dropped out of the running the crowd lost a lot of interest.. was good watching them for a bit but gets repetitive seeing no overtakes, left about half way through the race. On another note the V8 supercars were pretty cool.

Need to go to bathurst.

or even better for a specator Winton is great as most of the front straight area you can see the entire track from one spot

 

if in the country thinking of doing corporate area this year

thus 24 beers a day.

All historic races are awesome, one of my car bucket lists is to go to goodwood revival (been to the Festival of speed so this is next)


Also best racing in Au in my books currently is the Touring car Masters followed by the GT series (basiclly GT3 cup) then the supercars.



 

I know the telstra is the worst, but sometimes it would be nice to be pleasantly surprised.
Day 10 of no broadband and someone today suggested to pickup a dongle from the store and call billing and get them to take data from your plan to the dongle. Why hasn't any of the numerous people I've spoken to not suggested this before??! f**king hell.
And one of my old friends from school does or used to work for telstra as a complaints manager or something, he's been sending emails or something and lo n behold nothing has changed. Call centre shooting emails left right and centre and nothing happens. They talk like it's a strange situation and quite rare, yeah bullshit. 50,000 TIO complaints a year directed to Telstra don't lie.

It's not just Telstra it's all ISPs, I've had bad experiences with the lot of em through work.

Less with the smaller ones (TPG etc. but that's purely because less of our customers use them)

TIO complaint got me out of the GFs shitty ADSL connection with MYreplublic, after numerous 1 hour + waiting in queue to their call center.. now using Optus 200GB 4g gateway for $70 a month. Hacked the modem to lock it to 4G 2300mhz to keep the speeds at 12mbps down.. thats the best we can do at her place. No cable, ADSL got 500ms ping and <1mbps. and ofcourse no nbn

    • Fark what are the changes of that snapping like that, clean. Nek minnit, custom radiator goes in, with built in oil cooler like those discontinued PWR ones from yesterdeacades ago
    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
