NT TURBO

March is only 2 weeks away champ. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ....And after March, NT will still be the only state with NO speed limit zones. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> And no nightlife either. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> HAH, I have 5 kids under the age of nine, like I'd have a nite life.

Crap. The federal government can want uniform laws all it likes, be a long time before they change here, unless the nt gov isnt keen on being re elected.

paint protection = mega waste of money. My AU has it, its soooo not worth it <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I have to disagree with that, after having part of the car resprayed, and not renewing the p/protection, I regret it. Bat sh*t/bird sh*t/ gecko sh*t tree sap all eat the paint so much fasters, and also seems more suseptable to stone chips. But that's just my experience.

And your mate should have the suggested actions for those codes?

Dooodle becomes a Dude. Happy Birthday dude.

Well said.

You have got to be kidding?????? Who in their right mind would even contemplate bringing a law in like that!! Let alone enforce it?? Also there would be a lot of golfers out there that would see their short game slip drastically if they could'nt use a trusty pitching wedge of soft 9 iron on the ugly brutes. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Off topic but u's started it......the latest "humane" death is rub the little pains in the ass (cane toads that is) with some haemoroid creme, apparently it sedates them for easy freezing. Whats wrong with a shotty?

Any earthing cap will be dead in milliseconds, any cap of any serious size have bleed resistors to discharge them after use.... add some good gum boots to your safety kit and regardless of how "hot" the subject is if you dont provide a path (complete circuit) being live isnt a problem.....woooooses

Ohh.....well, Okay then

Has a cat and a purple T, that's gotta raise questions alone.....not that theres anything wrong with that.

I heard it was 30 seconds... It would probably be the most painful 8 \ 30 seconds of your life... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I heard that's crap, the nerve trauma/shock fairlwell makes it instant, nerves can cause twitching etc well after death.

Scary stuff, it is rare though, not much point changing the other hoses but, sounds like a one off error, mines way older than that and hoses are fine. The trouble with mass production.... build date isnt 24-12-03 ( or 31-12-03), (not good days!) is it, lol.

Classic

Shoulda had a look meself, thankyou biggus Vikkas.

I have an older (newly aquired) carburetted motor, I know the pcv scavenges gases from the sump, but how does the complete pcv system operate. The motor in question is an RB30 nissan, there are 2 pipes off the roccker, one goes nowhere atm, the other goes to the inlet manifold, runs better since I plugged the pipe going nowhere, but where should that valve be etc. any help would be much appreciated.

Ebay is full of scammers, beware of chinese accounts with no or private feedback, randomly selected user names, and often copy other ebay adds. They often request email transaction outside ebay and often request western union or bank wire transfer. If your careful is still a great place for bargains.

... also, in the case, the 'p' mats were kept besides the 'q' mats, therefore the saying "Mind your p's and q's". <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I've heard a different version. And since being told to mind your P's and Q's is done in the context of mind your own business, I believe this to be true. P’s n Q’s: it actually means, Mind your Pints and Quarts. In Pubs when people would start arguing, the bartenders would tell them to mind their own drinks... being pints n quarts! Bartenders would use tally marks I.e. 4 pints equal a quart, if the customer got out of line, the bartender would use the phrase, mind your p's and q's. I have also heard the customer would use it when they thought they were being over charged.. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> And I say you're both wrong, its from when ppl drop things in Oxford Street, Mind the Po ofs, ad Quee rs.

that's one way to win the colour war, leave phantom out.

An email I received, not sure how true any of it is though, The next time you are washing your hands and complain because the water temperature isn't just how you like it, think about how things used to be.Here are some facts about the 1500s:These are interesting...Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May, and still smelled pretty good by June. However, they were starting to smell, so brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor. Hence the custom today of carrying a bouquet when getting married. Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had the privilege of the nice clean water, then all the other sons and men, then the women and finally the children Last of all the babies. By then the water was so dirty you could actually lose someone in it. Hence the saying, "Don't throw the baby out with the bath water." Houses had thatched roofs-thick straw-piled high, with no wood underneath. It was the only place for animals to get warm, so all the cats and other small animals (mice, bugs) lived in the roof. When it rained it became slippery and sometimes the animals would slip and off the roof. Hence the saying "It's raining cats and dogs." There was nothing to stop things from falling into the house. This posed a real problem in the bedroom where bugs and other droppings could mess up your nice clean bed. Hence, a bed with big posts and a sheet hung over the top afforded some protection. That's how canopy beds came into existence. The floor was dirt. Only the wealthy had something other than dirt. Hence the saying "dirt poor." The wealthy had slate floors that would get slippery in the winter when wet, so they spread thresh (straw) on floor to help keep their footing. As the winter wore on, they added more thresh until when you opened the door it would all start slipping outside. A piece of wood was placed in the entranceway. Hence the saying a "thresh hold." (Getting quite an education, aren't you?) In those old days, they cooked in the kitchen with a big kettle that always hung over the fire. Every day they lit the fire and added things to the pot. They ate mostly vegetables and did not get much meat. They would eat the stew for dinner, leaving leftovers in the pot to get cold overnight and then start over the next day. Sometimes stew had food in it that had been there for quite a while. Hence the rhyme, "Peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas porridge in the pot nine days old." Sometimes they could obtain pork, which made them feel quite special. When visitors came over, they would hang up their bacon to show off. It was a sign of wealth that a man could "bring home the bacon." They would cut off a little to share with guests and would all sit around and"chew the fat." Those with money had plates made of pewter. Food with high acid content caused some of the lead to leach onto the food, causing lead poisoning death. This happened most often with tomatoes, so for the next 400 years or so, tomatoes were considered poisonous. Bread was divided according to status. Workers got the burnt bottom of the loaf, the family got the middle, and guests got the top, or "upper crust." Lead cups were used to drink ale or whisky. The combination would sometimes knock the imbibers out for a couple of days. Someone walking along the road would take them for dead and prepare them for burial. They were laid out on the kitchen table for a couple of days and the family would gather around and eat and drink and wait and see if they would wake up. Hence the custom of holding a "wake." England is old and small and the local folks started running out of places to bury people. So they would dig up coffins and would take the bones to a "bone-house" and reuse the grave. When reopening these coffins, 1 out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on the inside and they realized they had been burying people alive. So they would tie a string on the wrist of the corpse, lead it through the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell. Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night (the "graveyard shift") to listen for the bell; thus, someone could be "saved by the bell" or was considered a "dead ringer."
