  1. Ok, lets leave the lip discussion now and leave this topic for the OP's GTR.
  2. Ok, so, they come in two variants. Not enough for me to be removing it if it was mine.
  3. Nope, its perfect. Might be mistaking it for R32?
  4. Thanks Graham, absolutely stunning! ❤️
  5. Car is beautiful.
  6. Welcome Tom! Car looks great! So cool to hear from owners on the other side of the world!

  12. Yeah, this guy looks pretty good. I wonder what the range is on the keyring starters! ? https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/GenTrax-Inverter-Generator-3-5kVA-Remote-Electric-Start-PureSine-Portable-Petrol/292370091074?epid=6007499700&hash=item44129d8c42:rk:1:pf:0
  13. Welcome to ! Car looks great, any more pics? RaspberryPi display sounds cool! I'm keen to see how this works!
  14. Wow, I totally mis calculated my requirements. Suddenly the cost has blown right out. Thanks for putting me straight, I would have been pissed if I bought everything based off my calculations only to find I had a few mins of power! haha Ok, this does seem like a good option but how on earth do you start a pull-start generator with relays?
  15. I looked at UPS options but found they were quite prohibitive in cost when trying to run these pumps for up to 24hrs. So, 200w is what I'd like to run and my calculations have a 50ah deep cycle battery capable of running this for over 24h. That battery is only about $200 and the inverter only another $100. But that seems cheap and I'm worried I'm missing something.
  16. Hi All, I'm hoping some of you can answer my non car related electrical questions. I have a large fish tank which needs power to some components 24/7. I've thrown around the idea of buying a generator in the past but the need to be on my property when power goes out threw that out the window. Now I'm thinking about a battery and trickle charger with an inverter in an attempt to ensure uninterrupted power for my pumps. So, in my head, I'm thinking this; 3 pumps in my tank that I need to run are about 200w total (thats about 60w bigger than actual, but I'd like to over estimate than under.) A 50AH deep cycle battery will run these pumps quite easily for 24hrs. A 300w inverter will allow 240v access to the batter. A good ol' trickle/maintenance charger will keep the battery charged. Power outage means that the fully charged battery will take over. Is that sane? Am I missing anything? It seems too easy. I guess the only thing I am really wondering about is maintaining the health of a battery when it is charged at 100% for 99% of the year. Should I make it work every month? Switch off the mains to it to force it to cycle? Would love any help. Thanks, Christian
  17. What he said.
  18. Hi and welcome to Do you have a multimeter? What happens when you touch the bulb terminals with the points? Do you get any voltage? Have they ever worked? Can you unplug all except the 3rd light to test?
  19. Can you not search eBay or Gumtree?
  20. Thank you!
