Yes, I'm leaking :D

Thanks Mik. Helpful advice but it reminds me why I'd rather pay a pro haha

Yes, good idea, last time i did mine one was so seized up it needed replacing, and because its old that meant get out the oxy.

Are they trying to convert the copper lines to that new flexi pvc type?

In Canberra that is..

Builders and developers like to make money so they go cheaper.

Plumbers use what they like, Rehau or Pex etc pipe is very quick and easy to put in a new house.

Oxy costs a lot to use compared to squeezing on compression fittings.

And copper pipe costs more every year.

And dont worry that stuff is really good quality to pass Aus plumbing standards.

We have the top standard along with about 6 other countries. water is precious to us.

Im not worried about quality. I know they are great. Just wondering if all states trying to change it. I'm an electrician by trade but not domestic. My domestic mates lately have had earthing issues with the non copper lines though.

Wondering if other states having the same issues.

Yes you gotta put an earth in the ground now, ive seen them hammer in those copper coated rods.

Using the pipes for an earth is just a shortcut anyway isnt it?

I dunno sht about electics, cant even spell it.

Far out! That was full on.

So elecrical, it was zapping everything over here, there were even weird small lightning ive never seen before.

Was driving past the overpass from Aranda-Bruce when it got hit by 3 massive bolts, flash burn in my eyes for a minute.

However the rain did a job for me and pushed all the loose gravel down the driveway into the garage foundation box, so now i dont have to.

Hope everyone cars are intact, lots of trees down today.

Weird stuff happened to some of my electrical equipment.

For example my boost controller registered 150 kpa as the peak pressure, on a stock rb25 turbo? i dont think so... it still runs fine.

We had a couple lightning strikes right out front on the house.

^ True story ^

Heooge sound and light at the SAME time. Shook my house big time.

I hope some photo's show up of this storm on the net.

So much lightening !!!

AWESOME

Nissan Gtr Legend

The first Japanese Supercar Skyline GTR R32 had earth-shattering performance and some unique characteristics. Take a look at the original R32 back-to-back with the latest R35 and examine the GT-R that's winning races in the FIA GT1 World Championship.

    • Updated with the latest <68mm Xona Rotor turbos.  The two XRA options are on paper some of the compressor performance I've seen 
    • You see R34 GTRs listed for 200-300k are they really selling for these prices? Kinda seems like the same ones listed all the time. Even with R33 GTSTs looking at gumtree. You have an auto with a bitsa interior for 35k. Another one needs an engine rebuild and asking 24k. And then you have a stock in better than average condition for 45k. Nobody is ever going to pay these prices.
    • Only needed to pull out the seats, center console and gear shifter surround, took a weekend and a fair few beers. You get to look forward to finding all sorts of weird shit under the seats and carpet, I pulled out a Chinese dudes passport from 2003, 220 yen and a condom wrapper 😆
    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
    • Can try Maxima. Or random Infiniti models from the same era. Good luck with your hunt, let us know what you find!
