Copped a puncture on the monash Friday

Old Federal RSRR were nearly bald so, with the need to get back on the road asap, thought I'd give the RE003 a go in 245/40 all round. Impressive all round tyre for the money - $840 for four with an alignment.

They don't grip quite as well as I remember the Federals did when new, but it's expected with a treadwear of 200-220. Much much less road noise and look actually useful in the wet. Love the confidence that new tyres inspire in driving feel!

Coinspot doing AUD to crypto, but 7% transaction fees... And I can't even send my coins to another wallet due to some glitch.

Don't recommend.

Blockfolio app is now indispensable. Helps keep track of shit as watching stuff on Bittrex is annoying and only keeps transaction history for a month, pretty shitty really.

I'm leaning towards the re-71r (don't expect more than 10k out of them). Most normal tyre shops can get them but won't stock them and they seem to be only a little more than the re003. Gordon leven in Sydney seem to keep the common sizes in stock (they only do motor sport tyres) tyres shops have referred me to them before as apparently they get priority over jax/Bob Jane etc on the high grip/short life tyres if you need sizes that aren't commonly brought into the country in qty.

Where were they from?

Did think about going Bridgestone or Michelin for dat Costco discount.

FYI though, RSRR in 255/40/17 are something like $700 fitted for 4.

Bob Jane 3+1 Christmas special

These were 245/40/18

255/40/17 is usually a pretty cheap fitment across most brands and I'm tipping $700 doesn't get you an alignment?

I nearly went with AD08Rs again but they didn't have in stock

Needed my car for this week so thought it better to bite the bullet on the best performance tyre they could give me and I have wanted to try these for a while. Curious about their wet weather performance and if I get more than 10k out of them with my driving style.

Nah no alignment. Wasn't my car either lol, dhf tyres in hallam if down that way.

Wasn't 3+1 however, one day I'll go to Costco and actually ask them to price match on re71r or PS4 or pilot sport cups, while I get fat on hotdogs there.

Coinbase is easy to use, but can be slow due to volume. Send btc or eth or Ltc from there to binance or Bittrex. Then happy shopping. Otherwise if you just want to go AUD-most coins, and vice versa use coinspot.

If you wanted to buy say 5 bitcoins for example, is it as easy as having one of these 'wallets' and the ~100k necessary to do so or is it difficult to buy whole coins due to limited availability?

I think something like 17,000 bitcoins worth get traded each day, not sure if 5 could be bought at the same price... But Coinbase, coinspot you have to "earn" your way to big amounts. Because it can be quite easy to do a dodgy on them with the way crypto works. So for example a mate and f mine been trading for over a year and his limit is 20,000pounds.

My Coinbase limit is $500 a week. Coinspot... I dunno, $5000?

 

I'm not sure if there's brokers around or something might be able to do big purchases. There'd have to be.

      HyperGear vs Pulsar Turbo RB25DET

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Honestly: Buy a name brand turbo. Garrett or Borg Warner. Anything else you will be chasing "but why doesn't mine end up like the dyno graphs the sellers post?" Buying a brand name turbo gets your result right where other people with the same turbo experience. Also, 600whp in any country - expect your engine to become a consumable. If you're okay with that and can plan for that then all the power to you. Also consider your clutch will suck and your grip will be less than stellar. Aim at 450whp. You'll have a better car and more fun actually using it, and it'll probably be faster for every scenario with the one exception being drag launching it on drag radials at a drag strip where you might be a tenth faster. Sincerely, Wiser, cooler heads.

      RB25DET NEO Turbo water return line

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      I've driven it around "in da hooodd" and it seems ok, have driven it around with the A/C on as well to generate more heat. So far no leaks. Yet to do a long drive OR a track day in it, so both will be the tests. I think if I were to do it again, I would just plumb the water return straight into the intake manifold's bleed ports (un-used) on the top side, noting that I have an aftermarket one. I hope this works well, because I cannot be fked working on the car ever again     In terms of your usual highflow kit, I would just return the water to the hardline behind the head.

      I know. It was there when I bought it, I don't know if I hate the scrape or the totally wrong coloured "touch up" paint more. I do plan to fix that when I can build up enough confidence 🤣

      Do you have a link to the kit you bought? I don't have anything helpful to contribute other than suggesting to make sure that you do it right. It's a pain now, but it will be even more of a pain down the line if you have to fix it again. I've been ignoring a small leak on that return line fitting in my car. Still weighing up what to do with it. Jonny @Dose Pipe Sutututu has routed it back to the front of the engine to make it less painful. See this and following comments in his build thread. Not sure how it has been holding up since though.
