Hey guys, just saw a story on 60 minutes about BASE jumping, and it really makes me want to go skydiving again, just thought id see if anyone else wants to go (its cheaper the more people that go). I was thinking of going in a couple of weeks on a saturday or sunday when im not working.

As far as cost goes, last time i went in a group of 5, it cost $250ish for the jump plus $90 for the video (damn expensive video, but ya gotta get the video of your first jump)

So yeah, just looking for EOI at the moment, and ill make a few calls during the week sometime

I did my first jump about 2 months ago and I'm doing my second in two weeks time.

I would recommend that everyone should do it at least once, it is probably the coolest thing I have done!

after this jump I'll be sweet for the course and my first solo jump - that should be duckin scary! gets a fair bit cheaper one you have your solo licence - jump for about $30 if you have your own chute.

Go do it!

wow thats really cheap! how much would it cost to buy a chute?

i'd rather use one thats provided by the proffesionals, i hardly trust myself to put a shirt on the right way, let alone pack the only thing stopping me from hitting the ground at a 200kms/ph

Not trying to put anyone off, but driving back from Sydney a month ago, driving past that skydiving place just outside of Sydney on the highway there were a heap of peeps doing the drop. The scary thing was we saw one person whose 'chute wouldn't open properly really close to the highway. They swung over to the side and landed just out of view, but they hit the ground pretty hard. Chute never opened properly.

    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
    • To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
