  1. woooo!!! another aussie!!! hey, how is ya? so where in aust are you?
  2. yeh i agree about the oil...i thought that would have been one of the first things to do, apparently they moved oil from lower tanks and moved it to higher tanks??? they said something on the news the other day about not wanting to risk moving it off ship in case they had an accident and spilt it. They just said on the news that tonights attempt has been put off until tomorrow night (sunday) they ran out of sunlight to hook up all the cables today. It will be known as the pasha night club soon, it will also have a restuarant, casino and motel Vsicks...I just sent you a pm, unrelated to this thread...
  3. hahaha they tried pulling it out on thurs night, 2 ground anchors connected to on board winches and 3 tug boats... ship moved a few metres...apparently...then 3 of the wire cables broke and 1 of the ground anchors broke, so yesterday (fri) they had to fix everything that broke and they're trying again tonight (sat).
  4. I'm still here...im in newcastle...well what's left of newcastle.
  5. Hiya I'm not sure what the advantage of one of these units would be, the way i'm seeing it is all that it does is recieve signals from satellites and using bluetooth to send it to either a laptop or pda screen, you will need to have a laptop or pda for it to work, I'm guessing you have to have the mapping software downloaded onto your pda or laptop then this units sends the satellite signal to the mapping software. I just bought a HP ipaq travel companion for like $570 (aust dollar) it's a pda with tomtom mapping software built into it, I can't complain, considering the tomtom brand nav units were selling for close to same price, so i got the pda option for only a few extra dollars. That gps reciever will be good if you already own a laptop or pda and can access mapping software at a reasonable price.
  6. hiya Need to fix some rust that has developed under front windscreen seal at the top, water is leaking into passenger side, anyone have an easy way to remove windscreen without (hopefully) breaking it...i want to repair rust myself and get the professionals to re-install windscreen when im finished. I would get the whole thing done by a panelbeater but i've recently had the same problem with my corolla and it was pretty bad and cost a bit to get done, so trying to be cheap...thanks

    engine power

    thnx for replys... i guess acceleration off the mark has only dropped slightly, it's more in 4th, if i get to even a slight incline it will go sluggish...then if on the freeway and whack her in 5th and it the same thing, the slightest hill and i have to go back a gear and i'm a bit slow getting her from 5th to 4th and if a drop too many revs will have to put her in 3rd to get back to speed. yeh i did the bodylift myself...just went down to a place called specialised wholesale in my home town that deal in engineering plastics and they also have all the bolts and stuff i needed...

    engine power

    hiya was hoping for some advice...have a 90 model pathy Z24 motor...just recently put a 40mm susp and a 25mm body lift and put a set of 31" tyres on her...and now she has lost all power...any suggestions for getting some of that power back without spending heaps...it has a set of genie extractors and nothing else. In the distant future...maybe in a year or 2 i might replace motor but at the moment just want a cheap method if there is one... thanks
  11. woooo another aussie...hiya
  12. Quick question...on my windscreen wiper lever there is a dial of some sort that turns on the end of lever and there are arrows marked on lever with a clear window that has a blue indicator thing in it...when you turn dial on end the blue indicator moves up and down...it lines up with either 1 arrow or 2 arrows or 3 arrows...can somebody tell me what it does...i hope that made sense...thnx
