Check this lot out. Those poor cars.

Guess soemone forgot to tie something down and someone else did not check properly. Maybe it was the same bloke on the ship who steals the stereos.

I would not be too concerned as this is rare but still costly if you only salvage say the wheel nuts. Worse than that would be sinking of a ship then total loss and not even a souvenir of the wheel nuts or pics or anything just empty bank balance. I think you will find insurance is very expensive and then the hoops you have to jump through to make a claim. "Well the ship may have sunk but may be refloated in the future so will have to wait" or" Get us three quotes on repairs and we will assess this one. Well it was on the high sees and not covered by insurance in Australia as such and you should call Japan or maybe Indonesia as closer to them at the time of the typhoon. If it was a cyclone then no problems."

Yes something big and heavy alright and would have cleared a path and got more momentum with each thump and roll of the ship. You would think they would have heard something but then what do you do to stop it?

yes the worst thing is if the ships sinks you are liable for general average and will have to pay part of the salvage cost for the ship and at the end you will get back a: nothing or b: a useless water damaged rusting car.

    • Time will tell, they're doing all the admin stuff at the moment. I've submitted all the required details, photos, etc.   I was under the impression that DC coupling is the best approach, i.e.: Solar Array -> Battery Invertor -> Battery  Where as AC Coupling is simpler, however less efficient, i.e.: Solar Array -> Solar Invertor -> Battery Invertor -> Battery
    • The price is really great for that kind of capacity. I thought similar setups cost way more. How's your efficiency been with the DC-coupling? I've heard sometimes there can be a bit of a performance loss.
    • Long time no random post about shit. So I went down this deep deep rabbit hole of battery storage for the home, ended up locking in a 41.9kWh Fox ESS EQ4800 with 9 units stacked. Battery uses Lithium Iron Phosphate, similar to what you find in those deep cycle boat/caravan batteries. And yes, why did I go with a cheapie brand and not like Synergy? simply because I don't plan to stay at this house for more than another 3~5 years.  The entire install, DC coupling (removal of existing invertor, connecting the current 6.6kW array direct to the battery invertor), new 8kW invertor is $6K all up (after all the rebates etc.). Going with this lot: https://www.aussiesolarbatteries.com.au/ It did seem a bit too good to be true, however seems like the Whirlpool community has vetted it and when it comes to this kind of stuff, they seem to be all over it: https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/thread/9pxj8482?p=38   I've requested for the battery to be installed outside, next to my meter board and not inside - rather have it combust and ignite outside lol.    
    • In Vic it would be a defect regardless of whether or not you cut a hole in the sheetmetal for the return pipe. The rules in Vic are shitful, and are generally interpreted as you can "make 2 mods to the intake system". Putting an FFP and an FMI onto it will almost certainly be seen as some huge number of intake mods. You really need to speak to an engineer before doing this stuff in VIC.
    • planning a r34 rb25 de+t with some other work, rather just have it done in a shop due to space limitations any recommendations? I have most the parts already I seen online Moore Performance and DR Drift any advice appreciated thanks
