I always thought that they were more here in the south than up north... ...Up north they have the Funnel Web... ...and down here we have the Red Back...

You'll find them around the pool because I think they like damp dark places...

Certainly plenty in the country but havent seen any around the city. I found one up near Benalla 2 weeks ago with a huge abdomen, it died shortly after I had finished pointing it out to anyone I could find who was interested.

funny you should start this thread, I kiled one last night on my dogs bed! bastard things they are too!! I hate spiders. 2 years ago while in a rental in Taylors Hill I had RB's everywhere and not the good type, they were of the black spider kind. I remember one night my then puppy got up to pee so I had to take her outside at about 3am, I walked through the bedroom door and straight through a cobweb, I get into the kitchen and turn a light then lean forward too see if anything on me and this RB is hanging off my chin on about 3ft of web I freak and grab a tea towel and crucsh him then do the mandatory GTFO me spider dance!

Have seen a few in the last week though. Must have been the heat that's bought them out

Na no squeel, it was much worse.... I ran into the bedroom turned on all the lights, woke my fiance up and made her check to see if anymore on me or any bites. Not satisfied with that I made her call Nurse on call and check the internet for bite symptoms, of which I had most of hahahahaha!!!

I can sit and look at them no problems, it's when they are on me that I freak out!!

daddy long legs .....

leave them, they get the flies and seeker ants ... (those stray ants looking to bring the rest of the clan in)

Daddy long legs never hurt anyone. Apparently they are extremely poisonous but their fangs are just too short to penetrate our skin... so they just kill other bugs. Yay.

    • Hey mate, thread dredging hahah To answer you directly, yes I had my itbs oversized and custom butterflies etc made by EFI Hardware in Sydney back around 2017-2018 if memory serves. My setup had a vast amount of other changes too though, so no direct comparisons unfortunately. i went from oem itbs, HPI manifold and internal gate hks 2835 pro S; to 49mm itbs, cnc port matched Nismo plenum, RB25 Neo lower runner adapter hand port matched, r31house v2 Takoashi MAX equal length twin scroll manifold with twin 38mm tial gates and a FP HTA3076 with 1.01ar twin scroll real hosing. feom power Fc to a link fury wired by 12volt, r32 gtr fuel tank conversion with frenchys twin 460 / surge tabk fuel hanger combo kit, 1659cc injectors, full 4 inch turbo back stainless exhaust, Z34 6 speed, Tomei 2way with 4.3 final drive and a ton of other shit. ive posted elsewhere here with complete run down, but here's a graph from its initial tune with no boost control on, 20psi gate springs only and e85.   7542AE72-DA92-4E0B-8660-B0940FEA7F24.mov
    • On sale mate, $55. Sorted. https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/toolpro-toolpro-torque-wrench-1-2-drive/565734.html?utm_content=paidsearch-pmax&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwytS-BhCKARIsAMGJyzqYEnwWmhWf6gxTST_Nz06Gd2VePgyvL7lh6PWrQtbjXTsI6TqSCLEaAuaCEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
    • Slap it and say it ain't going no where, you'll be fine.
    • So the whole rb25de neo setup was a tiptronic setup and i swapped everything over to my rb20de neo setup and yes even the cluster of the rb25 was swapped over. 
    • and I thought size mattered 😝 At this point I may either pray to the Afterpay gods and get a torque wrench or attach a water bucket to the breaker bar. I appreciate the help though 🙏🏾
