hobby at the moment is finishing the unpacking and to clean up. Going to do some gardening soon... well troy will do all the hard work of course pulling out all the dead or tacky trees/plants that i want gone, while i sit back and encrouage him hahahaha ill do the fun stuff.. like the planting. I think its fun.. no idear.. never done it before.. Its just going to be hard keeting it alive. I bought some flowers for the frount garden a few weeks ago.. killed them in 2 days. Aparently it was the hot weather that did it.. thats what ill keep telling myself anyways.. IM NOT A PLANT KILLER!! :D

Yeah still working as a kindy teacher. The kids are being wonderful at the moment.. its just the staff are being petty idiots. Both my center boss and my state boss are on my side thats what counts. Work has offered me to work casual hours next year. Basicaly with the money i will get with centerlink, i can only earn a cetain amount before they cut payments. Work said they will employ some one that works around me. Say if i can only do say 3 to 6pm, the other person covers the rest of my normal 8.5 hour day. So i just work as many hours as i can untill my centerlink payments are cut down.. and then i stop because its not worth it if they cut my centerlink payments down. Im lucky they are doing this for me. Troys moving in also before i start uni (hopefully) so ill be fine for money. Its not like im used to having lots anyways.. all of my money at the moment goes on bills.. i should actually have some money to play with when troy moves in and im at uni.

moving is deffently not cheap. Bond, rent, etc etc.. you need at least a grand for a normal priced place.. then if its not a furnished place.. thats more money.

I have a washing machine for sale though ben, if you need one when you move :D cheap only $50! Twin tub... really easy for a bloke to use.

    • Lets say I wanted to buy this, specifically for this purpose. How do I actually perform the function. Can I still buy a Consult-1? Am I about to be burned by the fact my car is a 2000 model Series 2 R34 and thus will be some stupid other system? Do I just need this -> https://obd2australia.com.au/product/nissan-consult-14-pin-to-usb-ddl-diagnostic-interface-with-ftdi-ft232r-chip/ And with what software?
    • That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc. 
    • Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?
    • Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...
    • The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
