Interior looks shmick mate. Im still waiting for some nismo belt pads that were ordered months ago. Ive found that they just get in the way anyway and can make the belts retract less easier.

i used to own a towing business and for you to put a car on that trailer the car has to be registered or in our case we used a trade plate you need a light board to hang over the back of the car and the trailer needs rego as well . tbh there a pig of a thing to use and tow with hence the reason im about to start building a couple of car trailers in a few weeks . i might even to a step by step guide with photo's as i go along if that would help anyone else thinking of building one .

cheers dean

Great idea Deano.

Start a new thread on it and we'll make sure it's not whored :thumbsup:

And now, for something completely different...

I recently got in touch with my inner nerd and decided to learn to fly RC Helicopters... you know, to go fishing, like on the Farmers Union ad :yes:

I've owned RC cars in the past, so this time I wanted a real challenge. No point mucking around with the little toy helicopters (although I did buy a couple of them for shits'n' giggles) straight into the single rotor serious stuff. About $250 delivered (plus about the same in extra spares and batteries and tools etc.) and I'm making progress. This is my third attempt ever at hovering/flying.

These things are not easy to fly, trust me! A microsecond is all it takes to lose concentration and write the thing off in a big way!

And here's what I aim to be capable of with a bit more practice, a shit load of practice actually!

What happens when you get it wrong... this is a $400-500 helicopter

Anyone else into RC Helis or tried flying a 4-6 channel single rotor heli?

when i was younger i few RC planes (propper ones, not electric) for ages.. still have a couple. got pretty good at it and thought i'd try a trainer RS nitro heli ( trainer set up has an instructor linked in to your transmitter and can override any time) and man it was so difficult. took me 30 mins just to get it to take off smoothly and another hour trying to hover... i got pretty fustrated with it hahaha

after some advice - what brand sleeping tablets (prescription) work REALLY well??

Im slowly coming off the Fentynal (Durogesic) slow-release 'morphine' pain-patches, as I dont want to be on this shite any longer (would NOT recommend). Really want to be clean/sober/clear-headed for Uni next year.... I defferred this year as I just wasnt able to concentrate, nor was I dealing with the pain very well.

Im pretty sure that the Durogesic has actually been magnifying pain spikes; feeling ok pain-wise 75% of the time over the past 3 weeks wheras the previos 3 years Id be feeling the pain a fair bit.

This stuff is nasty to come off from, leaves you with constant "heebies / skin-crawlies" as essentially my body is addicted to it, as youd expect. Fentynal is a synthetic; Im faily positive synthetics dont mix well with me. Been having a huge battle with severe depression for 18months now at the least. The best thing I can do for myself, to help ensure I dont go topping myself like my hind-brain keeps telling me to dayin dayout, is to get off the damned drug.

Problem is over the past 3 weeks while Ive been cutting doseage down I find I simply cant sleep at night. Every single night I lay awake until 6-7am, then doze a little during the morning (some days Ive been so tired I havent gotten up at all - not good.) Durning the night trying to relax Im very uncomfortable going thru mild withdrawel & just cant sleep.

Pretty much I want to knock myself out at night for a week or so and just get off this horrible drug. Over the counter sleeping tablets (docile, restavit) dont work at all for me. Any opinions? Im very tired and its stressing me out a bit....

hey matty do you know any place who makes these sort of trailers i can have a chat too about this?

i was thinking if the trailer rego plate was at the back it would be ok, but would really like to ask the trailer makers

off the top of my head i havent seen anywhere in adelaide that makes them, but itd be worth ringing around

what dean said is right though, even though the trailer is registered the car itself is still making contact with the road, so that has to be registered, and you have to have a light bar of some description (and a way of hanging it / mounting it on the back of the car)

And dont forget your wheels. Plus he did say minus driver LOL. Anyone know weight of s13?

SR20det versions are around 1250kg's, the CA versions are around 1150.

My 180 was 1303kg's with me (110kg's) in the car and a full tank of fuel (~50kg's).

Does pete at nistune have a phone number?

Not that I've been able to find, only an email address.

I feel your pain mate , try this

melotonin tablets, natural brain chemical that you loose as you get older and no side effects , most health shops have em for about 10 bucks. useful for long haul flights too. less jet lag

KAVA - KAVA tea, a strong batch mixed with regular black tea(or your favorite tea/coffee) and camomile tea. kava alone taste like tree root and looks like mud. makes your tougue numb for 20 seconds , but after 1 decent cup of tea and you will chillout mentally , you wont feel it kick in but it will relax you enough for sleep in about 20-30 min without nasty anti depression drugs or valuim side effects

just use care not to mix kava with pain killers or asprin. its been used for 10,000 years by natives so dont buy into the hype its toxic . the reported death was somone who mixed a bucket load of panadol with it.

dont booze with it. either.

doesnt leave you hung over the next day either, like pills

if you use a coffee filter to pour the just under boiled water (boiled water is actually burned ) thru you can avoid the twigs in it..lol

available from happy herbs on bank st near maccas, last time I found it. , get the tonga bag for about 20 bucks

fish oil with DHEA omega 3,

glucosamine with chondrotin in it. helps the pain and inflamation without side effects , works great after about 2 weeks of use . like oiling you joints up ..lol

fish oil helps clear your head too.

anything positive you can muster in the day is a help and anything physical you can must will increase your endophines , which will motivate you and make you tired at days end.

cold weather sucks the life out of you.. but sit in the sun 10 min a day , helps the vit. D in your system .

go to the beach and suck in some fresh air (positive ions). close your eyes for 5 min to listen to the waves . think of nothing beside the noise of waves

go to a comedy show and laugh your ass off. till your guts hurt

if your into it meditation helps, I have a good cd that teaches you micro meditation to de- stress only takes less then a min. not a magic fix but it all beats pills and the shite side effects on and off them

hope that helps Brendan ?

Brendan this will give you something to read OBVIOUSLY i am NOT a Doctor so please see one ASAP

i don't recommend long treatment but a couple -few weeks should be enough to get you off the morph patches

>>Oxazepam<<

again i cant stress enough to see a doctor (not like you can get these without him) and get a dosage regime and a gradual dose reduction regime.

      Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf

      Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.

      Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
