I'm fascinated by the whole ebay/earning a decent salary on there. Some of the legit ebay business's that submit earnings to the ATO etc that come up for sale are mind blowing.

Tough gig to get off the ground though

Not super tough, you just need the right product, and a little bit of research, I started up allocating $200 as startup capital, if I blew it, fair enough, if it self sustained...yey!

Did me well enough for a few years with the dash kits (well enough the ATO were very interested in me for a while), I sold ZPE in January to another forum member...so it opened up a few avenues with previous business models that got to the planning stage and never executed. I think Hannah and I have resigned to the fact that I generally don't like being managed by someone else, they normally have less insight than me and it just gets frustrating at their narrow minded inability to run a business. Plus why work your arse off to fill someone else's pockets!

Even the Lab business may end up being an interim one, I'm waiting to see how poorly the Pharmacy business goes with the 'Pharmacy Fiscal Cliff' at the end of this year, then swoop in and buy a PBS number when they're not worth spit and move on with a business model that we trialled at uni, which still doesn't exist in Australia. Our lecturer was very impressed and said if he was younger, he would have actually considered quitting his job and trying it out.

At that stage now. Gold lining the pockets of the business owners and not myself. It's f**king bull shit, oh the stories that I cannot post on here!

I have an aged Ebay account with perfect feedbacks, I should really do something with it haha

Damn straight mate. If I wasn't looking at the opportunity to move into Partnership here, I would start my own thing.

Haha shut up old man, yer would be about a 200k round trip so nah. Went to the one in Ipswich a while back wasnt to bad

Only reason you went was because I was already going down :yucky:

From me.

Who's Chris?

I'm Chris, I am a pretty big deal. I give him enough sh*t/spankings about his LS1 project for everyone on these forums who read what he writes about the abomination

I see, well I'm doing spanking first then Chris can go for his life

Can I get a spanking too? Nick said the your a good sort :wub:

    • Hey all,   I’ve got an RB25 with a trigger kit that includes a crank wheel, and I’ve hit a wall trying to sort a timing belt tracking issue. The belt either rides right on the edge of the cam/crank pulleys or walks slightly forward once the engine starts. It tracks okay-ish for a moment, then creeps right to the edge—and honestly, it’s stressing me out.   I’ve spent hours removing and reinstalling the belt, double-checking everything:   Tensioner setup is good, checked multiple times Idler pulley and washers are all in the correct places Followed the RB25 timing procedure step-by-step     The only thing I changed was the rear crank washer—I swapped the OEM one for a Neato version, and it made things worse. The belt now sits even more forward than before. I’m beginning to think the crank trigger wheel itself (from the trigger kit) is the issue—poor design or slightly off dimensions.   What’s strange is that with the previous belt setup, it actually ran fine for a couple of years—around 4,000 to 5,000 miles, even with hard driving and high RPMs. But even then, the belt was always riding right on the edge, and I know that’s not ideal or safe long term.   At this point, I’m debating whether to:   Machine a few mm off the crank trigger wheel to bring it back in line, or Replace it entirely with a better-designed unit     Only thing is, I already have the Cherry Hall sensors, bracket, etc.—I just want to replace the wheel only, not the entire kit. Anyone know a brand or supplier that sells just the crank trigger wheel on its own?   Would really appreciate any feedback—especially from anyone who’s run into this exact issue and found a reliable fix.   Thanks in advance.
    • Hi...a little refresh. Is Nistune gonna be enough to run BoV? Or do i need some proper ECU? 
    • Yep that's pretty much what I want to see. Racecars that look and sound like the Group A but with newer tech underneath to make them faster and safer. I'm sure there's enough VK-to-VN commodore, E30 BMWs and Foxbody mustangs shells around to make up a decent number of cars with hopefully a couple of sierras, rx7 and R31s in there too. 
    • Contact Jessestreeter.com/Skevas Racing/JustJap for a new r34 rb gearbox or go a cd00# conversion. No point playing with unknown condition gearboxes.
    • Such a shame places like Amaroo Park have been redeveloped, smaller tracks always make for good racing. Cheers for sharing @PranK there's some good Lakeside video's too. Its so hard with older the cars as parts are so rare and everything was made for a particular chassis at that point in time. Even the V8 Supercar Blueprint era cars are all different between each chassis within a team as they learnt things and made improvements. The COTF cars between each Chassis builder is different too especially motor/oil systems/intakes. The Group A stuff is worth so much too especially chassis with good history. The only way to do it would be composite panels and similar engine drivelines to the original cars. Ford sierra running Focus RS driveline, Commodore running a short stroke LS/LT or a Falcon with coyote and a H Pattern dog box. Could use a standard ecu across all models with a Torque Map and DBW for parity which is not even used in Supercars currently. Hell a TCM is almost a full chassis car these days and the suspension is not even close to standard style in the front running cars.
