Did you say your singer was off AUS Idol?

Sounds like he's in it for the money and fame rather then the love of music... That's how I see it, I could be wrong...

In all honesty, I would not approach anyone from AUS Idol or AUS Got Talent shit but that is just me.

Is he a good singer?

Yeah, he had a shot in 2006 (when he was a bit younger and less experienced). Made it into the top 100, flew to Sydney etc. but didn't make it much further.

Then he sung/played guitar in front of 10,000+ people at Youth Alive for a few years.

Now he plays guitar in punk/pop rock band "FIDO", runs Grafete Studios and teaches music... So yeah, he is very busy. That's why I said he would probably only do gigs for $$ (coz it would probably mean dropping other projects).

He is a very passionate musician and a huge inspiration to me. When he agreed to sing/produce my project I couldn't believe it.

Sounds good!

See how you go.

bubbling paint on the walls is a bit random, but re-painting is pretty easy

im almost done my house, just got one roof section to do, all up nearly $1100 for everything, so just kitchen will be cheap

I think they must have used the wrong paint and the dampness is making it bubble (no extraction fan + cold climate)

Thinking of repainting the cupboards at the same time, currently they're pooh brown

He's booked months ahead of time for gigs all over Victoria, and has his own singing school

Wow, fair effort. After the hype dies down most idol contestants go back to their day job :P

What is your mate's name?

well that was my first day off in over a year, i have another 4 more days left and im already sooooo bored, i hate it.

here are some vids ive been watching lol.

why rev it so much before take off? its not like he's at a set of lights

63k when he bought it! LOL, 60s are the magical number for dealer imported cars, they must search the auction lots for cars in the 60k range. Its amazing there are still so many cars out there in Japan in the 60 range! Maybe everyone stops driving at 60 odd.

No offence to the seller, i'm sure the car is genuine, but.........anyway, doesn't matter

could be the fact to that by the time a lot of the 32s hit 60000km the registration was to expensive for them and a new car was purchased (as it goes itn jp)

but eitherway you have someone like stateroads check it and they will be able to tell by the bosy/interior etc condition if its legit

my mate just bought a xr6 turbo ute and damn they are very quick cars.

the funny thing is he bought it from queensland got it checked and stuff and they said the clutch is on its way out but everything else is perfect. he flew up there and drove it back, once it warmed up the clutch kept slipping until he got into nsw and it went so he had no clutch for the rest of the trip to melbourne lol. and he had so many bugs splattered on the front and stuck in the intercooler it was hilarious. he said next time he will get it transported down lol.

i dunno when you buy cars you wana drive them straight away

id look for one with everything working

Yeah but at that price, if everything else checked out, a new clutch and you're away for well under 20k...

As for the kms, 99% of the time they're gonna be bullshit. Again at that price, if/when the engine lets go you rebuild it.

    • I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate
    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
    • Doing a refresh of my 33 and can see a few websites stating they sell the entire main carpet for our cars, but they all have generic photos which is fine, i understand they are custom made to order.  Just seeing if anyone has got it done or had any experience with this, as i would only want to do it if the fit and finish was as good as oem https://carmatsdirect.com.au/products/moulded-carpet-or-vinyl-for-nissan-skyline-r33-1993-1998-coupe https://knoxautocarpets.com.au/moulded-carpets/nissan/skyline/skyline-r-33-1993-1998/
    • Any plans for E85? If so, add flex fuel sensor.   I'd probably add in the sensors I mentioned above if the Link will support using them for engine protection. With water pressure, you need to be able to effectively set it that "If temp > X, and pressure = atmospheric, shutdown" as at running temp, you should be able to read pressure in the cooling system. If pressure suddenly disappears, it means the water went some where, and this is a quicker reaction than waiting on water temp to go up (Which, can take a little longer than you'd like, considering it now has to wait for hot air to heat it up) Oil pressure, Oil temp, both would be on my list too if you're looking to add sensors. Wideband O2. And at least one EGT sensor. If you're feeling deluxe, put in individual runner EGTs. Single EGT sensor is more so forget about a specific number, get used to "What is normal EGTs", and then keep an eye on it, if it starts going away from "normal" it's a sign something is wrong (Also, things like the tune can still start going out of spec, but EGTs may not show it, for example one injector starts running leaning, so ECU richens everything up, now 5 out of 6 cylinders are rich, and running cool, with one cylinder lean and running hotter, so it's not perfect) Then there is your other things to look at non sensor related, but you may have already done, or have underway, and that would be things like building a sump for more oil, and better oil control under high G-Forces (Cornering, brakes, acceleration). Basically, the above is worth looking/thinking about, if the ECU can do protective stuff with it, and you continue to use it how you are (Drive it to the track, thrash it, drive home, repeat once every 3 to 4 months)
    • Can also confirm these work a treat for most balljoints and bushes. If you have access to a big rattle gun, they make the job so much easier and quicker, compared to using a socket wrench or shifter on the c-clamp 👍
