people steal cars at events now?

Nah a while ago there was a R34 Meet, and they got very precious about it.

when a few other people said they might come along the organizer stated they were going to have Private security to make sure only R34 GTR's were allowed in the car park.

 

it's a "long" running joke now.

hahaha sounds like an idea the "leet" crowd would entertain in their minds... thanks for the explanation

So@emts how did your Mrs deal with you being away all the time? Did you manage to keep up with house maintenance etc?

Looks like I'll be working rural for majority of this year (again)

Planning on moving house in a few months too. Not sure what I'm gonna do with the cars... Gloria is reliable and cruisey, drove it for around 4 days over the holidays. Was good. I don't want to give up on the pulsar but I keep paying rego and cbf/not enough time to tinker with it and diagnose. Even getting it taken to workshops to be fixed is a huge hassle. If I chuck it into storage and stop paying rego, it'll never get RWC, even if eligible for club reg. I could do ultimate dodgy and swap VIN's etc and there seems to be lots of illegal import cars floating around (civics/legacys/integras) but probably won't end well.

Just sell it, no point throwing away rego money / insurance if youre not using it. You've got another cool car anyway.

1.26 for bp98 today fuark. Mirin.

Edited by UNR33L

Not selling pulsar, I ain't gonna quit on it. Got too many goodies and good pulsars are already hard to find, let alone in the future. Its a great car, it just doesn't get the time and effort it deserves.

 

I want to "finish" the gloria, just need some wheel work and suspension arms.

I just had an account with jim's, so they came and took care of everything.

it's hard now with so much to do, but slowly rolling out automated watering with new plants.

 

the mowing is killing me, need to get a small tractor I think, it's just too much for a domestic ride on.

 

anyhow best get back to complaining about the cold weather.

Maybe. They still get sick? And eat clothing?

Don't know, maybe don't leave any tailored suits out in the paddocks and you should be right. As for sickness, I can only say she'll be right.

Seems I should check my commonwealth bank savings account interest rate more often.... 0.5%? what a fuggen joke.

so moving savings (that isnt going into shares) to bankwest (which is owned by commonwealth) for 2.6%. Good times.

I presume that's just an introductory rate or similar? 2.6% is trem deposit rates.

Nope, as long as I deposit at least $200 a month and make no withdraws. If neither conditions are met it defaults to 0.01%, but can be brought back to 2.6% if conditions are met the next month. Calculated daily.

    • 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.
