The more I spend on this shit box, the less money I have to put towards a fast, stock, modern car. That is slower, less fun, and less reliable in every single way.. not to mention much more expensive. 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/468064-doses-sometimes-diy-and-pay-someone-home-boat-improvement-thread/page/143/#findComment-7974238 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dose Pipe Sutututu Posted January 26, 2023 Author Share Posted January 26, 2023 Picked up this mud kitchen from PL Fabrication for free. I assume I've spent enough money there so the least he could do is give it away for free LOL. Anyhow, lightly sanded the cnut down and then hit it with Dulux outdoor paint, can't remember what colour it is (missus chose it) but I'm a bit colour blind so let's call it light grey. I suppose you could say #builtnotbought lol. Next will fit a water dispenser. 3 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/468064-doses-sometimes-diy-and-pay-someone-home-boat-improvement-thread/page/143/#findComment-7975115 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dose Pipe Sutututu Posted January 27, 2023 Author Share Posted January 27, 2023 Drove to Scarborough for lunch, snapper fish pie was decent, even had prawns in it. Then drove home, gave it a hit and kissed the limiter and left my 50km old PS belt somewhere on the highway lol. Shitbox tings. 3 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/468064-doses-sometimes-diy-and-pay-someone-home-boat-improvement-thread/page/143/#findComment-7975150 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTSBoy Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Yuh, PS belts are a bit like the inside of the engine. If you touch it, it will f**k up again immediately. I shredded a brand new PS belt. Threw another one on, taking just as much care as the first time (ie, enough) and at some later time had a look in the bay for another reason and found the belt had come off over the front of the pulley and was running with one rib off. WTF!? So the usual full dismantle of the intake piping etc ensued, to provide access to the PS pump area to back it off and prise it back on. Bastard things. 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/468064-doses-sometimes-diy-and-pay-someone-home-boat-improvement-thread/page/143/#findComment-7975191 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just waiting on the Ross PS idler kit to come, hopefully a good bandaid.

The Bogan Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Needs more LS, I literally thrash the bejebus out of the bogan cruise ship every day, started at 260ish killer wasps, now around 360 killer wasps, stock heads, stock bottom end, not to shabby for a old dinosaur push rod engine Over the 2 odd years I've had it it has racked up about 35k km, and at 150k km it is basically only just run in It never uses oil, never really breaks, apart from the usual maintenance for a 20 year old mass produced shit box You should buy that BMW 1 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/468064-doses-sometimes-diy-and-pay-someone-home-boat-improvement-thread/page/143/#findComment-7975195 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dose Pipe Sutututu Posted January 28, 2023 Author Share Posted January 28, 2023 I need to buy that BMW, first just need to offload this shit box. Funny how Nissan went from a 4 rib to a 3 rib then back to a 4 rib belt power steering belt throughout the shit box RB era. I suppose revving the car 2700rpm past its intended rev limiter doesn't help either LOL. 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/468064-doses-sometimes-diy-and-pay-someone-home-boat-improvement-thread/page/143/#findComment-7975196 Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably realised it was a bad idea, a generation later they went back to a 4 rib.

Dose Pipe Sutututu Posted January 31, 2023 Author Share Posted January 31, 2023 Just had a look, very cool. They probably don't announce it so they don't draw a crowd. Makes filming and risk management much easier. Meanwhile, donating more money to the car gods. Some donate to charities, some donate to churches, some to pokies, I donate to car gods. 2 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/468064-doses-sometimes-diy-and-pay-someone-home-boat-improvement-thread/page/143/#findComment-7975275 Share on other sites More sharing options...
