So this is in the new house yeah?  You're a mad man ripping into a new joint but it may as well suit what you want!

 

500 kW in a rear wheel drive setup will be INSANE.  Zero chance I could handle that much power in a RWD.  I'd be wrapped around a pole in no time.  RIP me.

Yeah, house was done October 2020, we bought the shit box in Nov 2020 auction.

Had too many sex spec shit, which we changed. Then the 3rd bathroom, which would never be used we are converting into a proper laundry/powder room.

Having your washer/dryer in your pantry is not very user friendly. Guys who designed the place probably still live at home with their parents.

400kW was enough to give me cold sweats at the track, I think 500kW with a sex spec power band is what I'm after. I'm sure with enough seat time you'll be fine, I doubt youll wrap it. Think about it, your GT-R would be just as lethal.

I remember the days I thought 300kW RWD was mental, but with properly thought out geometry you find 400kW hooks up fine. 500kW, well that should be interesting 😂

Well I can dare say the gains with the R33 are much better than real estate or crypto or ASX!

Oh fk thanks for reminding me habib, also time for some laundry updates.

We have that washer, so sad. 

man it's so good, coming from a top loader with an agitator to this is like stepping into a M3 from a shit box R33.

Ah. The world of front loaders. I don't have 2+hrs for each load. I don't care if top loaders use more water and make more noise. I can repair them myself when they go bunk (as opposed to the $3000/month service bill for an Asko! :p ) and can get a decent load done in <60 minutes.

Huh?

The last front loader we had lasted 12yrs and cost $700 - Good guy Samsung. I gave it away still working but with a noisy spin action - still going (a mate uses it to wash his filthy work gear only in the shed lol). 

It required 1x $34 water tap solenoid in it's life and needed to have tek screws removed from the drain a handful of times (bout 15mins work for me). 

New one takes 55mins to do a load, can go as low as 15 for lightly soiled shit (but I have 2 kids so we use longer run time). 

Ain't nobody using the full run time cotton program that takes 2-3hrs. 

Don't buy an Asko?

I've used it, not bad but you know I'm all about that off grid energy saving life so it's cold wash for me dawg. 

Wouldn't as bad if you could plumb hot water to as well as cold but everything these days is cold only then used 3000+w elements to heat the water. 

I've already heated my water, let me use it and not pay twice!

well it is a home improvement & car improvement thread is it not? LOL

I've just signed up for a 6.6kW solar system too, with Origin. Sure it wasn't cheap, sure I could have gotten a better deal elsewhere but going with Origin worked out better for me, because:

  • 24 Months interest free repayments (money better parked in offset)
  • $0.22 feed in tariff (best at the moment is AGL at $0.17, others are as shit as single digits)
  • Some what better warranty, they won't be doing a runner anytime soon

Some basic calculations as follows:

Just be carefull with your feed in tariffs when comparing. Make sure you check the terms, as I know Red energy has a high feed in but its only for the 1st year. 
Im with AGL at (like you mentioned) 17c. 
But 22c is interesting!

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
