The lockleys center was all mortgages wasn't it? What did your dad do exactly if you don't mind me asking

Just asked him and apparently he only worked at Lockleys, he was going to move to Bedford Park but he left for another bank.

In relation to the work, I think it was mostly call centre stuff, probably in mortgages. He left some time ago so I can't be exactly sure.

anyone here good with electronics and know much about LEDs

tryin to work out how u compare the brightness of LEDs to incandescent globes. im making my own LED tail light replacements for the 4WD (not ricey altezza styles, basically removing the incandescent globe and having a panel of LEDs behind the factory lenses).

Using those LED Globes u can buy off the shelf is useless, they dont reflect right and are dull in my fittings. Want something that is bright in the day, but not stupid bright at night. The fittings im making will be more waterproof than my standard lights too :)

Matty the LCD works in MCD's which compares to the light colour spectrum. you also need to take into account the light spread , which is very focused on most LED's compared to a normal globe which is why they can look like a hotspot

the newer flat mount LED's are brighter and disperse light much better.cost a lot more though.

voltage on most LED's is not 12volts, you need a resistor to use them, OHM law comes into play depending on how many you use, LED's don't like forward overcurrent and will blow if they see too much. and on some Nissans and other cars the light globe curcuit senses a blown globe and when you put in LED's it flashes on all the time unless you compensate for the lost resistance .

take a look at this site, might give you an idea

http://www.gizmology.net/LEDs.htm

to buy LED's here cost too much, order from China, way cheaper , 20 bucks buys a huge bag full with resistors

I can help you but to create a panel of LED's to look decent can take a lot of trial and error.

They look familiar...looks tuff 10mm bolt on will fix that

I like it with GTR wheels , gives it the updated look without going obnoxiously over the top anyway

looks like its already so wide it flicks muddy water down the door..lol

huge cheap ass spacers = fail

The engine light on my R34 has come on, it has come on before but normally goes off within 5 minutes but not this time, has been on for a few days. any idea what the problem might be? or should i go and get a diagnostic done? if so where would be a good place to go?

Nissan?

Or someone with a consult cable.

Doesn't that normally mean the timing is stuffed or it's 'pinging'? Or is that only if you have a PowerFC plugged in?

Or I might be completely wrong altogether.

Yep I can diagnose without seeing the car - there are only about 120 or so errors that can make your check engine light come on ;)

only 120? i thought you were good enough to know exactly which one haha ;)

ive got it booked in tomorrow, hopefully its nothing to serious

Haha yeah hopefully it is nothing. Have you checked ALL of your fluid levels - sometimes it is something that simple. My cas plug used to also come unplugged a little bit on my R34 which would throw an error code that would come and go - maybe give yours a wiggle and see if it is loose at all? Good luck with it, anyhow!

    • Oh wow, it's easy to forget how cheap these can be. Probably the cheapest way to travel. Though people in cars here tend to be morons and I would not feel very safe. Were scooters ever big in Australia? It used to be the thing growing up in Europe ~20 years ago. 50/70/125ccm Peugeot or Yamaha and some others. Utterly obnoxious Polini race exhausts. Kick stands that slant as much as possible. So loud. So much noise for really not moving very fast at all. But it felt cool at the time. Not sure where I'm going with this, but there is an aftermarket for mopeds! Though I'd have pictured you more for a Goldwing kind of guy after growing out of the Harley.
    • You need to know I am sorry for this.  
    • As the MX5 isn't apparently "manly" enough, and I need something for runs to the local shops, and also take to my part time job at the salon, basically I can keep the MX5 away from car parks and stuff......like "flying lockers", I was wondering what I could buy to fix this issue LOL, I pick up a new Yamaha 125 Delight this arvo from Trooper Lu, basically a R1 that you can fit a slab of beer on between your feet, also, it was $29400 cheaper than a R1, so actually it's 2 x better than a R1    
    • Nah. H2S. H2S is "rotten egg gas", which is what is associated with no cat. SO2 is equally nasty, and if you've ever smelt it you'll know all about it. More of a choking, acid in the back of the throat sort of thing. But you can only smell it in a narrow range up to about 1ppm. Above that, it irritates your mucous membranes, but you don't smell it.
    • Kicked the 34 in the guts, she won’t be seeing the road till I get the 31 mobile again.  wont be long and she’s a bit of a garage princess anyway haha
