Travel to Europe, come back and forced to work as glorified PA

Sounds legit

Much better if you return from Europe to a new and better job :)

Deffs gonna do Europe next, did you do any contiki type shiz or nah?

Yeah I did a topdeck tour for 11 days, highly recommend it. Especially if you've never been to Europe before

I forgot.. When in Amsterdam, if you meet a young man named Alexei who tries to convince you to visit a Hostel in Slovakia filled with beautiful women, RUN LIKE FUCK

lol that movie could have ended in 10 minutes if they said sorry we're actually gay

Last time i was over there for a few weeks I saw 4-5 deaths on the roads from cars going into bikes

Not sure if I would want to try it, since there really is no traffic rules over there :/

I was 8 hours north of Hanoi, in Ha Giang. So not much traffic out there.

DO NOT RIDE ANYTHING NEAR HANOI OR HCMC, sweet jesus f**k.

Also Hue. Hue is somehow worse than anything because they don't all have god given bike skillz like they do in the first two places I warned in huge capitals to not ride a bike in.

I get angry with stupid bike riders... the ones that sit in your blind spot with that whole "if he hits me it's his fault" attitude

yeah those riders are stupid, i usually speed a little bit / get out in front so people can see me

also having a loud as f**k exhaust helps

I had a rebels faggot actually come up on my left side when I was traveling in the left lane, with no cars in the right lane or anywhere near us. Trying to be a dick / attention whore plain and simple - fkin rebellious trying to push a Skyline out of the way hey. This was the night before they pulled that Anzac Day shit, so in retrospect doesn't surprise me

I don't know where this arrogance comes from that they might come out better in a 400kg vs 1600kg scenario :huh:

also having a loud as f**k exhaust helps

THIS... cars are too quiet these days.

There are a number of times (reversing out of driveways, in shopping centre's, backstreets etc) where a 90's skyline with an exhaust is far less likely to be in an accident than a 2015 golf

Would love to have - hard to know which ones are carrying sawn off / pistols though

Also not wise to do in girlfriend's car in the suburb we live in

why? She not as good at deflecting bullets as you?

    • 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.
    • Hmmm, what do you mean by getting weaker? And where did you get that test done? I've been wondering about my battery because the cold starts crank super slowly. The voltage is fine. Not sure if cranking amps can be checked at home. Battery is 4+ years old.
    • No. The simplest wastegate hookup, with no solenoid or other form of "boost control" (ie, control over your boost control, if you know what I mean) is a single hose, direct from the turbo outlet/hot pipe, straight and only to the wastegate actuator. It is that pressure signal that drives the wastegate to open, providing the boost control (and by "boost control" here, I mean, limiting how high it can go, which is essentially the spring pressure of the actuator). You only end up with tee pieces and alternate flow paths once you start adding things to the boost control system to allow you to determine how much of that boost signal makes it to the actuator. There are so many ways to do that that there is no single way to run the hoses and tees and the like. If you have a stock boost solenoid, then all it does is either allow all the boost signal to go to the actuator, or open up to allow some of it to bleed off. There needs to be a restriction in that bleeder to allow only a small amount to bleed off. And in a stock system, that would then be plumbed back to the turbo inlet (for "emissions control" reasons). That is actually what that nipple on your BOV return pipe could/would be for. If you have an aftermarket boost controller and solenoid, then the above is mostly true, but there is no need for a restrictor in the bleed, because the solenoid is pulse width modulated to create a variable bleed off. The air that escapes from the bleed can either be vented, or also returned to the turbo inlet. For emissions reasons it should be returned to inlet, but the amount of air being vented is so small that it really doesn't matter (either from an emissions perspective, or from an air-fuel ratio affecting perspective).
