YOU SAID IT!!! I feel exactly the same, at seems these days that all the week is for is to fill in time till the weekend, I hate the boring repedative days... I wait all day to get in my car and head home, especially Tuesdays and Fridays.

There has to be something better than this weekly boring mundane existence! :)

I actually don't mind being at work

You know you've got a good job when you've been there for 14 months and you still don't wake up in the morning and go "Ah f#$k!".

But yeh, nothing beats 5pm :)

Even though I haven't been able to drive my Skyline for a while :)

(Mick - never upgrade your brakes. Ever.)

A lot of us are regulars on Friday nights, I haven't been out in about a month because of not having my car

I have a vague hope of being there this Friday, just look for a red & silver doorstop with stonechips all over the front (Ze Stonechip Missle)

I plan on upgrading my brakes Mark but for some reason I can see my conversion going alot more smoothly than yours.... Everything with my car has been alot easier than your so far for some wierd reason...

Chintami - I wont be out this Friday night but the next time I am hopefully Mark will be too and then you will get to bask in the splendor of Canberra's 2 best R31 4doors... you'll see why. :)

I'm sorry, all i heard was.....wah wah wah i work 8 hours a day with a lunch break and hate it.....

Heres a tip, try working 70 hours a week, having no weekends as both Saturday and Sunday are completely taken up with work, spending several nights a week in the office trying to establish new clients, giving up a car you loved so you can drive something more practical, having to feel guilty about taking 30 minutes off to eat lunch and doing it all for absolutely no money for the first few months.....

It's a choice i made and i'd do it again in a heartbeat cause all this work will eventually see me to where i want to be in life but for god's sake before you get upsett about a few measly hours a day, take a look at how other people operate and you really have it very very easy!

so when you wake up tomorrow, either make a choice to enjoy where you work or find something more fulfilling.

In the end it's your chioce to work where you work, your choice to stay there so if yo uthink its crap then you have no one to blame but yourself

Damn i needed that rant, not really aimed at anyone in particular, anyway i'm off to bed, i have a 7am meeting in the city........

    • (Rb25det intake manifold) I’m having a hell of a time trying to find the full part or part number of this coolant hardline so far I was given these (Below) but they aren’t what I’m looking for and was told it’s the IAR or aac valve but that doesn’t seem to be it either. If someone could point me in the right direction it’d be greatly appreciated. Or if anyone has it for sale that’d be great too. I have recently purchased a greddy manifold and I can’t seem to find my old one to pull it off.  (Front Heater Return / Water Pipe (under intake): Primary part: 14053‑21U10 (front return pipe assembly for R33/R34 RB25DET) Alternative listing: 14053‑21U00 (same pipe, sometimes interchangeably referenced)   Heater Feed Pipe: Listed as 14075‑04U00 or feed-related variant 14053‑AG500)    
    • This sounds cool. But, as per usual, anything really complicated like that, that I take on, constitutes a steep learning curve that I never actually "learn". I just get it working, install it and start using it. Then, when it breaks a few months later, I've got no memory of what I did, how I did it, or even the bloody IP address I gave it. I'm having more or less exactly that problem right now. My Proxmox machine was discovered to be non-responsive, and the VMs on it were ditto. Power cycle it to a stream of loud Dell beep codes - which was unpopular at midnight, I can tell you. Move it to the lounge room so I can HDMI it to the TV for a screen, see the boot messages complaining about the /PVE/data having all sorts of LVM problems, saying it needs to be fixed manually. And I'm like....great. How am I going to work out what I need to do? At least it wasn't the stupid Silicon Power SSD shat itself. Mental note for all readers - DO NOT BUY SP SSDS! They are shit. I have had one take out an entire VM setup already, and this one could have done the same. Maybe it actually has. Cheap Chinesium shitbaskets. I won't cheap out again, even on play projects with no budget. Because my time budget having to fix shit is worth far more than the cost of proper parts.
    • I do typically agree. These days even the screens most people use have more of a boot time than the main device. However, I've seen an interesting use of the RPi in vehicle, however it involves effectively building your own OS and MBR, as then it boots up exceptionally quickly, as you don't have everything needing to start up, and you can then also run it up as an RTOS, while still having more compute than an Android can give for things like display, and processing. A very huge task that would be though for Duncan, I'm not sure that's his skill set (or Arduino programming and wiring) ha ha. If end goal is definitely just water cooling, Arduino would be the simpler setup especially for a rookie. If he wants extra display stuff though, bashing some code in Python on an RPi may be the better result for both systems.   Unfortunately the new device I'm building at work which runs a display, is too slow of a display for dashboard style purposes. More extreme low power, update only a couple of times a day type system
    • I don't like "actual computers" for in car use. They take time to boot up, have OS annoyances, and so on. Arduinos etc are ready to go a few seconds after power on, don't mind being agressively powere cycled, because everything is non-volatile, don't mind being shaken and stirred.
    • As Fred would tell us, it's all about interpreting the rules. It's not a water sprayer, it's a water mister... But everything else you've said, 100%! Even a raspberry Pi would be great, use HDMI out for a display, and add a raspberry Pi CANBus hat to read values out from the ECU.
