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.

    • If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
