Braided E85 fuel lines in
I think the standard 23 year old ones did well to last 5 years on the stuff, but when it starts dripping fuel on your garage floor and you notice elevated levels of euphoria whilst driving it's probably time to do things properly


5 years? That's decent run considering the amount of propaganda associated with e85 when it first came on market.

Yeah well, as you can see those claims were exaggerated and likely released by PR of the anti-ethanol vested interest parties...

Truth is most cars made in the 90s can handle it for many years and it's more the switching back and forth between E85 and unleaded that cracks them over time. Fuel lines should be replaced in a 20-25 year old car anyway.

Same goes for E85 compatible fuel pumps. My 040s die from use before E85 kills them.

I'm safe then for next 5 years assuming I haven't switch from dinosaur and hippy repeatedly.

Already has Walboro cos the Nismo crapped by itself during tuning.

Took the bike up to winton raceway the other day, definitely a fun and challenging track on the bike.

The big left hand sweeper requires big testicles. Not sure what times we were doing as no timing on the day.

Heard NT is quite popular for Americans wanting to shoot things you can't shoot in America.
Maybe there's money to be made exporting aboriginals to america


They already have heaps of black people to shoot at and seem to do it regularly, are you sure they need aboriginals to shoot at too. I mean too much choice isn't going to make things easier.

I once chatted to a guy who worked on a commercial hunting ground (or whatever they are in NT). They burn a patch of plains a few days/weeks before a tour arrives, so that the fresh grass attracts the buffalo and makes them easier to find. "Hunting"

Shooting targets and skeet is great fun. But you really want a variety of guns. I don't know how the old codgers do it every week with the same rifle

I represented Melb uni in target shooting back when I was there so it's def not old codgers,

 

won a few trophies and really enjoyed it.

 

now I have more spare time hoping to get back into it.

I've only been shooting once (those unarmed, stationary paper targets didn't stand a chance)
Would do again /10


I shot some paper targets and a couple of pesky airborne clay disks. The disks are much harder to hit than the paper.

    • 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.
