  1. I did similar in Perth once and it was $1300 and 6 months. They changed it from +45 to 22 over cos I manned up and visited the officers after they left a note on my front door. I also avoided getting my car impounded. It was bad luck as it happened to be a one off tuning pull on that road.
  2. I haven't checked into it but where does the liability fall when there are 3rd party injuries sustained from non approved developments? I assume it falls on the current owner? I could be wrong. Does anyone know?
  3. They would have. It wouldn't have been picked up until someone complained to the council or he went to sell it.
  4. I'll just go hide in the corner with my 11m x 3m shed...
  5. Howdy Never had any say Panda. That sucks about how your house is positioned. It kind of sounds like you are stuck between a rock and a hard place. On one side you want to improve your dwelling and the other side it seems you are pushing sh*t uphill. I feel the same about my house for different reasons. It is very old and could do with $50k to $70k spent on it with me doing most of the work to make it more than just a roof over my head. I would be lucky to break even if I knocked it down and rebuilt, and if I spent the money to fix it I would come out in front slightly. Sometimes it is better to look for something more suitable.
  6. Pics of shelf?
  7. Im a little confused as well. Is it just the rubber boot that's split? If the joint and bearings are still ok you can just repack it and chuck a new boot on. Have a look in the driveline forum. There is an old thread called 'genuine ford shafts are a rip off' or something like that. That'll give you some insight. I personally wouldn't buy cheap aftermarket shafts unless there was evidence that they are strong enough or I had to limp around for a while. Also Google 'The driveshaft shop'. There are bolt in shafts good for 700 rwhp that are $1800 and there is a shaft and hub kit good for double that for $200 more.

    Heh ya gotta love waking up at 4am with a baby that thinks it's time to get up won't go back to sleep. It is something different for us. I'm just about to fire up youtube on the tv so we can watch how various setups come together and operate.

    I showed the missus the intro video this morning. She seemed interested but due to her having a 4 am start with the baby the conversation didn't go far.
  10. Fark yeah I just won the lotto. $15 and 35 cents. That's 3 quarters of a 6 pack. Brb, not retiring.

    Well it seems like there is another huge learning curve coming up. It's kind of funny that the wife was just talking about getting the garden going again today and now this pops up.
  12. I've got a machined rb30 block with cp pistons to suit that has run about 5000km. The 25 head has been modded for internal vct feed and blocked off at the front. There are a few other goodies to hold it together and various other parts/mods to make it work. I just need a wrist pin, a new rod and get the crank ground then the long block can go back together with new gaskets and bearings. I've got 2 more rb30 long blocks in the shed if needed. Fark that car anyway. I'll waste more money on the ford before I put that back together.
  13. Yep I just did. Fish ay?!
  14. Ok I'll take a look into it. The missus is keen to get the garden going again and this could be a better way to do it. I can use roughly 100m2 for vegetables without affecting other use of the backyard. That should be good enough for a hydroponic greenhouse setup. Haha people will think I'm growing weed. If I follow through (I might not) it'll be like pantene, it won't happen overnight but it will happen.
  15. I've thought about it in passing but never put in the ground work to determine feasibility. I have the room so I guess it can't hurt to look into it.
  16. I also have a 1995 s2 r33 coupe that had 340rwkw before it hydrolocked from a leaking injector o-ring and broke. I still have all the bits in the shed. Haha if I ever repair it I'll use a bigger turbo then a gt35r.
  17. Nope they're gone. They were considered an old ordinary car back then. Along with my hd and ht belmont. The oldest cars I have now is the 88 skyline and the 89 vn.
  18. I'm still not totally sold on home grown veggies and chickens. They taste miles better but they cost a little bit more to produce than bulk buying at costco or the local fruit and veg shop. If I invest in a rainwater tank then I would come out in front eventually.
  19. Nice one. There is some good sh*t on gumtree occasionally.
  20. Haha looka dem buck bucks. That top chook looks like one of mine. She's a bit darker. The bottom chook looks like my other one. She's a bit older, fatter and lighter coloured than her sister. My light coloured chook likes to be picked up and have a pat every now and then.
  21. Ha you'd think they'd be cheap ay?! They're just an old camera/player. I bought a lj 2 door in back in the year 2000 for $600 and it was sweet as. I bought an lh in 2002 that needed a trans for $250 plus $100 for a second hand trimatic. I replaced the diff for $60 when it broke. Good luck finding anything like that nowadays.
  22. You'll notice a big difference with that min fps number being higher. Edit: You should be able to turn your cpu up quite a bit depending on your cooling solution.
  23. Furry muff. That was the best I could think of off the cuff. Perhaps someone will have done this before and provide a step by step guide. I just did a quick google and found this. The cheapest one I saw on ebay was around 300 aud.
  24. I worked in a chicken farm once. I snapped 10 to 50 chicken necks a day then buried them with a tractor. Australian chicken farming isn't humane for many reasons. Ya ever see a chicken run over by a forklift or walking around with it's guts hanging out it's arse cos it got tripped over or stomped on from a careless employee? I've seen first hand a dude boot a chicken for a field goal and the manager all the way to the owner doesn't give a fark. It's all about the money and the demand is there. All of the major chicken retailers/outlets in Australia buy Aussie farmed chicken. It's clear the chickens have some feelings as they still go through the infantile playing stages as they grow up. It's kinda cute. They are also scared to go outside initially when you open the doors for them to "free range". After a while about half of them run outside when they get used to it. The books are doctored so the farms can stay open. After approx 40 days from birth they are caught and processed. They are live creatures that are running for their life in the dark (blue light) before they get caught and thrown into a cage often with broken legs. Here's a tip that most people won't know; the difference between quality chicken and cheap chicken is just the type of feed they receive. I still eat chicken but I'm under no illusions where it comes from.
  25. Man that's ice cold Edit: Make sure to listen to the end.
