Could ask for foil sticker, so it's like the one pictured

That sounds like work... 

Black and yellow is not my jam at all.

Lockdown dis dat, anyhow after 3 months of shit just sitting in boxes I decided to do something.

Probably the last time I do something for a while too, my back is sore and my hands are dirty now 😅

Was on the market looking for a used one, wow.. people are wanting like $300 for an used condenser, ended getting a new one for $650.

Haha... I threw my condenser in the bin when I stripped the car down, imagining that second hand they were worth 3 cents and a mouldy apple core.

It's covid tax, it has ruined the JDM market.

Long gone are the days of running R33 S2 for $5k to $7k 😔

That's why I chose to go to town and respray and send its mum.

[No Crust Racing]

JDM prices are shit, it's a joke. 

 

I remember buying a used vspec condenser off Hawkins when I punctured mine putting my intercooler in.

$150 shipped.

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

Now people probably asking $1500 firm lol

[r32-25t]

Where did you get the condenser from?

[No Crust Racing]

GTR prices are just outright retarded now.

 

Used 2012 R35. 115k.

New Supra, under 90 lol

Amayama, worked out cheaper than local because I bought a bunch of stock seals, gromets, interior bits and bobs.

Vega Motorsports guy has them for GT-Rs at a reasonable price.

Just had a look at r32 ones are almost $1200 😞

[No Crust Racing]

Vega prices are a bit rich IMO.

 

If Brad is still wrecking GT-Rs I'd check with him or Chen Chung Ho.

[r32-25t]

Mine is still fine, just thought a brand new one would be nice

Can we get thread back on track please.

How are you sydney carnts getting 22c feed in tariff, im in newcastle and did the ring around to every company last year and the very best i was offered was 12c. My solar is about 6 years old now though, are you only getting such a good rate because you got Origin to do a complete solar install?

I can't even imagine getting 50+c a kWh lol

[No Crust Racing]

I just got an email saying I can no longer get 10.2 it's now dropping to 6.7... what the f**k.

Have a look at AGL, apparently they're doing 20c for the first year!

I'm only getting 22c FIT because I'm going with Origin's Solar system (which is overpriced compared to others, but the only way to get the 22c FIT).

Time to go shopping!

[No Crust Racing]

Yeah I will, hard in Vic, they all vary so much. 

The current mob does a 69c day charge and off peak rates all weekend 😕

 

In good news, I have found some used Tigo's going cheap  

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

Update, here's a full day's worth of data. Pretty nice sunny day, barely any clouds in the sky.

6.6kW system with 17x 390W JA Solar panels (cheap shit) and a 5kW GoodWe inverter (also cheap shit). Origin didn't really have flexibility with their package choices but after reading into it and also the warranty plus Origin's guarantee of craftsmanship I was sold, especially with the 22c FIT. 

We have a North facing double storey house with a colorbond roof. Means theoretically we would get better sunlight coverage.

@PranK what is it with these 250px max width thumbnails? Lol.

would be great if there was a newer nissan you could buy the bits from. i need the whole AC assembly apart from the bit under the dash essentially. im looking at a fortune if i want AC back in my car (which i do)
