If you think your local water is bad, I pray you never experience bore water in an outback town lol. 

You're not meant to drink the bore water, not until you filter it at least :P

 

but Bore water is typically tastier than the shit that comes out of Dubbo's town water :P

It was crazy the amount of locals I met that drank the bore water straight out of the tap =/ 

Its funny now that I think about it, all the day trips I did into Dubbo, I never drank the tap water. I just drove the 4 hours each way and didn't say the night in Dubbo, so didn't really have the chance to be exposed to it. Based on the size of Dubbo, I always assumed the water would have been like Sydney water, guess not lol.

My Pop used to live there (He's now passed), even Nan wouldn't drink the water, nor would anyone else. My cousin has lived there now for about 24 years. Still won't drink Dubbo water, ha ha ha

 

It has the weirdest flavour!

 

That being said, we've also had times in Brisbane where the smells, and tastes, like dirt. Normally after a flood, and its from extra "totally safe" organic water matter up stream of the water processing plants.

Hey Dose... Time to get to tuning...

Preset to 350kPa but we can ramp that bad boy up. Get you some more PSIs and more flows!!!

Full send it, will need to install an inline gauge to determine the pressure though 😂

My yesteryears of agency life are long gone!

I get tipsy off 2x beers now, cheap as it gets.

Making the shit box, less shit by about 0.1%

Started by taking out the harness bar, seats, trim, parcel tray.

Going to change the RCA leads as the current set has a bolt through it lol. Then upgrade the headunit, install 2x baby seat tether points (turns out buying them new is cheaper than trying to buy them on FB or off a wrecker, funny right?). Will then leave the trim and shit off, and remove the stupid dark tint and replace it with something normal and legal.

After all that, will then go back to fab for a few small changes, such as a better catalytic converter and the catch can Venturi.

If anyone is reading this and wants to buy this shit heap, please buy it off me so I stop spending money on it.

Nah, you just ruined that car by putting that pioneer headunit in your car...

 

But legit, I've got a bit of a hate case with Pioneer now. Used to solely use their head units. However, the last two double din units. First one started doing weird shit at about 18months old with Bluetooth. Legit thought it a phone issue more than anything. 24 month mark and it did the same weird thing. Then restarted, then turned itself off. Never worked after that. Pioneer didn't want to know about it.

Drove for 12 months with no music in that car.

Put another double din in from pioneer. 18 month mark, has started doing the same thing.

 

Haven't driven said car in 11 months now, but I suspect the head unit won't have much life left, IF it turns back on at all...

I am really enjoying not working at the moment.

When my daughter goes down for a nap, I have a bit of a window to cook/clean/do shit/do a shit/work on the shit box.

Today, I decided it was time I added a 2nd SSR for my PWM fuel pump setup. Previously had both pumps off the 1x SSR, which is totally fine, however knowing my luck the SSR might just die so always good to have some kind of redundancy, even if it's just 1 out of 2 pumps running. 

Still thinking how to route the wiring, job for tomorrow.

Good setup for WTAC!

PWM setup very pretty!  Still a little bit over my head that stuff.  Need to sit down with no other distractions and get my head around it all.  I've got the PWM's for when I eventually put mine all back together.  Might have to lean on you for assistance.  Don't tell me know as by the time it's relevant I will have forgotten!

Add it to your list of things to do 😂

More than happy to explain it and take you through it, alternatively you could use a PDM and double up outputs to allow 50A loads.

I went down this route because I set it up years ago before PDMs were a common thing. 

Been meaning to tidy it up for years, and install a 2nd SSR. Found the time to do it now, since I'm not working (on paternity leave). It's amazing how motivated I am now because I'm not working my normal job. It's like my corporate job drains my soul of everything else.

Today, finished off the wiring from SSR to fuel pumps, I integrated fly back diodes into the wiring for sex appeal, instead of running them externally over the surge terminals.

    • I wouldn't be concerned at all, other than to suggest having them flow tested when you receive them to confirm they are reasonably similar, and then put the highest to lowest flowing ones in cylinder 6,1,5,2,4,3
    • I’m only posting this cause I thought I had seen a bad review on these somewhere before. Any feedback? Would you guys recommend that if I do buy these I send em to RC to have em checked before installing. Or any other suggestions?   https://www.ebay.com/itm/114009965865?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=JDl-15yLQ8C&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=QTzlFXB1S-S&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now.
