I told him you might be unavailable due to hospital stuff, he wasnt worried, he will keep calling till he gets you.

Got back from hospital now. She is on some new pain killers and looks a lot better :P

the awesome part of that is that her husby got appointed as a director of our department, alongside 2 other directors of the old departments, so he gets paid lots but doesnt need to know anything about either department. I guess though to be married to Captain Blight i would want a pretty good sweetner too.

Definitely. But remember to use preferences when voting for greens, they preference to labour :P

Preference to pirate party, sex party, gamer party, and basically everyone else instead.

No I mean. You take my vote, and do it yourself. I'm not voting.

slap slap slap

Well it's going to happen eventually anyway. If not by this one, by the next one. So it's really not worth giving up part of my day and going to a school ON A WEEKEND (if it was weekday and there was JB I'd at least consider it) and wasting my time drawing on paper.

Plus I know NOTHING about politics and refuse to be one of the people who just goes in and donkey votes and screws up the system.

What difference does weekend/weekday make to a jobless bum? :P

howdy

huge morning for old tristan

- wheel alignment with roy

- 2nd wheel alignment with roy (3.5camber made my rim rub on coilover) so now 2.5camber - considering looking for some 2mm spacers if i want to try 3.5 in the future

- new wheels fitted with tyres and balanced

- daily is now insured and in transfered the rego

- i has coronas in the fridge cuz my gf is f**king rad and got me some before

- have another 1000words left in my assignment

SUP WITH YOU GUYS?!

Uni is gaids. Estimating is boring and my lecturer sucks donkey dick. I have proof.

Lol, TRD is tuning everything these days

Hopefully we wont have too many vehicles with dodgy accelerators and dangerous floor mats.

I really need some brakes, as Anna wants mine for the sil80, im thinking R33 brembos, but my mate works for a v8 ute racing team and they run alcons....but would need adapting.

hmm not sure what direction to take, this car has been all about enhancing rather than re-engineering so a bolt on fit does appeal, just not sure they will be enough though!

34 brembos or have a look at the K sport brakes? Decent budget upgrade that is being used by a few people on here without any problems.

Atomicbomberman had some impressive brembo brake calipers with him one night. Ferrari ones or some such. Dan or Martin might remember. He was putting them on his 32GTR and they looked like MORE than enough.

They were 8 pot brembos off a corvette if I remember correctly. He has 360 brakes for the rears.

I missed far too much and was going to quote everything and make an epic post but cbf now. So I'll just say Anna Bligh is f**king retarded and uni is gay.

Yeah I don't get it. Whenever I have holidays it takes me about 3 days to forget what day of the week it is. :P

I put it in there originally for the sole reason you wouldn't need to ask why a weekend/weekday was any different.

Attn Gay cowboy aka josh:

I haven't done a cambelt in a 355 but i have seen it done, you will need a hoist and a frame. Removal of the engine and rear suspension subframe is the fastest way to do it, also the easiest, in 360 and later you can remove a panel behind the drivers seat to change the belt. I can give you some names if you want it done for cheap

    • Can't remember the last time I saw a good, healthy battery dropping into the 9s during cranking,  Too many variables to say anything about it with any certainty though.  A float voltage of 12-12.2 is tired AF and given how AGMs handle high C rate and DOD, will just die faster and faster with each cold start.   
    • I find most vehicles dip into the mid to high 9 volt range, even with a good battery. Hitting the low 9s, and especially hitting into the 8s is pretty indicative of a dieing battery. The other part to look at is the battery voltage after the battery has been fully charged. They should be sitting at 12.8V, as lead acids are dieing, they head down low and lower. Often getting as low as 12.0 - 12.2. You'll start seeing this when the engine is cranking over slowly. Interestingly, depending on the vehicle, when batteries get really bad, you can see some REALLY funky things going on. From very low voltages, to higher than 16V too. Something I totally didn't expect! This part of the super low and super high voltages I've been seeing on motorbikes, I need to do some further studies on cars. I suspect cars will act a little bit different though for a couple of reasons.
    • Thanks! Supercheap has a sale on this weekend so might be a good opportunity to get a new one. I do have a decent multimeter so I'll give it a try either way.   Hah, you got me! I do not. All I know is that the battery holds charge and sits at an okay level before I start the car. Doing the full charge and rejuvenation cycle on a trickle-charger seems to not really make a difference to the cold start behaviour. I'll try and measure it during cranking and see what it does. It's likely terrible; it certainly feels terrible.  I'll be happy if it is really just the battery and I don't have to dick around with the alternator or starter motor.
    • how do you know voltage is fine?  quick easy test is connect DMM up and put it on max/min mode, remove fuel pump fuse, crank car for 3-5s, go check min voltage You'd be surprised how many "healthy" batteries are showing under 10v during this test in cold weather. 
    • Not properly. You need to be able to dissipate 100 amps or so to doing it meaningfully. You can do it indirectly by watching to see how far the voltage falls during cranking. Unplug the coils or something else to prevent it from starting so you can get a good couple or three chugs. It also helps if you have the multimeter set up reading before you start, and that it has max/min functions. So you can catch the real minimum without having to watch the screen, which often doesn't update fast enough to show the real max/min in dynamic situations. Or use a digital oscilloscope, which can be obtained for <<$100 from Aliexpress (although I'd argue for paying up to ~$200 for a nicer one). A >4 yr old battery will very likely be well down the path to the knackery. Many only last 5-6 years these days. The cold weather lately will definitely make it worse.
