Tyres will be purchased, once the rims are purchased, to fit the gtr guards, once the car is ready for painting, which needs a gtr bonnet & front lip ~_~

Positive interest after dropping 50%..

With iw2 basically being ditched with no positive result and costing 10's of millions... I'm surprised it's at the price it is.

For the first time I don't agree with how management handled that one...I interpreted it as basically a drawn out version of "well this isn't working" covered up with "well we've got plenty of data anyway to initiate a farm out". They haven't done anything dishonest given the results from that drill were never a guaranteed thing, but I'd sooner they own it in a concise manner in their report. Announcement confusion is the worst thing for this share and given the complex nature of oil drilling it really needs to be translated into layman terms let alone using unnecessarily confusing language.

Share is still worth a heap IMO, given what they can do with the HRZ and a horizontal well - IW2 was just a test well to prove up the resource and they alluded to having farm out offers on the table before they drilled it - not to mention what else is on the acreage in the way of conventional. But yeah, the lambos will be waiting another year at least lol. Should be a nice spike when/if a farm out partner is announced or leading up to it. I'd personally be taking advantage of poor market sentiment towards the share right now as people head in the opposite direction and undervalue it. 100,000 shares for ~2k yes please.

Any recommendation of video editing programs? Something easy for the average Joe and nothing like what Steven Spielberg uses.

Need to edit my vids from Metec incident ?

Windows movie maker

I use prism video editor I think. Free and easy. Nothing special.

When 88e went from horizontal to vertical, I thought nothing of it, but now the failure to flow test IW2 with artificial lift and the conclusion being "a horizontal drill is probably needed" certainly makes that decision a shit one in hindsight.
Other than keeping costs down, I don't know why they didn't use artificial lift to begin with when 90% of all Wells use it. Maybe an analyst wanted to try something different. It's seems to have cost almost a year to prove very little.

But, we're no experts. Oh well.

So has anyone actually made a decent profit off 88e (other than Birds pre-VWL 88e announcements) or does it just keep bouncing around and being unpredictable?
I haven't sold any yet.
So maybe an accompany question should be: has anyone lost any decent money on it?

Would I prefer my money with 88E as opposed to sitting in a savings account at 1.6 or 1.8% per annum? Fo sho
But I guess the key is balance? Trying to expand my holdings into a portfolio. Finding decent companies not in sketchy industries is fairly difficult.

It's a long term play for most, the kind of thing that has a piece of string length to it...

I made further profits post VWL announcement by trading it short term. And if anyone heeded my warning to buy at the tail end of last year when it dropped to 1.8 cents, they'd have more than doubled their money a few months later. So there's definitely opportunity to make short term profit on it, but I'm guessing most here like me are invested in it for the long term now, in which case you just leave the money in there and follow the news. It's a roulette spin - you either gonna lose it all or buy a lambo.

Unrelated, this cheapie Dell laptop I got for ~$400 can play CSGO. 40-60fps - definitely playable and it's low detail/shadow settings but still impressive for internal graphics.

So when we playing Quake?

  • Like 2

CSGO is probably the most optimised game ever made.

They use it to measure mouse click to screen time and can get it to 1ms or so. Which seems impossible, but there ya go

 

Is quake good? I'm usually up for a Sunday night sesh

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
