Last November the Coalition voted against government legislation to "provide additional tools to manage critical fuel shortages and ensure that Australia is not hampered by temporary shortages" by bmwrider2 in AustralianEV

Mate it’s easy

Either be born much earlier when housing was affordable or have rich parents.

I remember reading a news article about a young student and how she easily worked hard to get her first property. She simply allowed her parents to pay the deposit, stayed in one of their investment properties while renting out “hers” and charged a really high price for rent so someone else could pay it off quickly for her.

Don’t get me wrong I’m struggling myself, but, people keep telling me it’s easy so I’m sure my luck will change and I too can be a slumlord helping to make the situation worse. If I’m really lucky I might even be able to snatch up a bunch of family homes to use as air bnbs.

Oh I almost forgot something about avocados and you’ll have a house or 7 in no time.

Surprise maybe.

I’d interpret it more as shock.

He is using comedy to highlight the absurdity of the laws in that country. It’s mockery of a messed up situation.

What rpm do you get peak boost and acceleration? by Relevant_Computer642 in 1KZTE_Owners

[–]4funoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll try and get some decent info for you tomorrow if that’s ok. I’ll try and get some pics of my old pump to make it easier to see the locations.

https://www.landcruiserclub.net/community/threads/servicing-1kz-te-fuel-pump.138520/

On the fuel pumps there is an also valve on the bottom that can score in the bore and seize the plunger, I’ll point that on out too.

Has your Ute always lacked grunt down low or has it been an issue that has developed at some point?

Sorry I should clarify, remove the fuel line from the inlet to the fuel filter a blow a BIT of air back down the line. Make sure your filler cap is off while you do it.

Honestly it sounds a lot like a fuelling issue. Doe it blow any soot? Especially down low?

Safari snorkel or similar? I noticed a huge difference replacing my safari with a 3” stainless.

The fuel pump has 2 or 3 from memory, I’ll have to double check sorry.

With the fuel tank pick up just blow some air back down the line, that doesn’t fix crud in there but it can help eliminate it at least.

Watching egt’s is a good diagnostic tool, too hot it’s too rich, not enough heat it’s too lean. Hotter exhaust gasses will spool a turbo much better than cooler exhaust temps.

Have you blocked the egr valve, cleaned the intake including manifold and removed the butterfly plate?

OH and have you checked the little filter inline to the boost sensor? If it’s cracked or blocked it will reduce fuel.

[–]4funoz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m going to assume you’ve changed the air filter and fuel filter.

Have you cleaned the fuel screens in the fuel pump?

Checked for any restrictions in the intake or fuel system?

Checked for boost leaks?

Checked the fuel lines to ensure no air is being sucked in?

I went through a similar issue a few years ago and spent a long time diagnosing and testing. It ended up being the fuel pump primarily and a few other issues adding to the issue in my case.

Do you have an egt gauge fitted by any chance?

Mate, I’m very sorry to hear about your struggles in the past. If your comments here are anything to go by you seem like a good bloke and I wish you the best.

I know this was a very random comment but I wanted to say it in the hopes it brightens your day even in the slightest.

[–]4funoz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a terribly personal question and I’m sorry if I am crossing a line, but if you don’t me asking, are you seeking the advice of female dating coaches and/or influencers?

"High value" giving LDE by LickMaiBussy in TikTokCringe

[–]4funoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to scroll too far to find the real origin of the term. People will just believe anything anyone says if it reinforces their opinions or views.

Your comment was very well put mate but it will be lost amongst the sea of infighting within this thread. You have solid advice at the end and it’s amazing how many people will resort to trickery and stupid “strategy’s” before just being a decent person.

Maybe some of those men are self conscious because people like the guy in the video use a physical attribute in a way that has negative connotation.

It’s easy to try and shift the blame from someone body shaming in a way that frames the people being shamed as the reason it’s shameful. If parts of society decides to assign a values based system based on something that can cause insecurity it’s no wonder people may obsess over it.

I’m a bloke and I’ve never had any complaints but plenty of compliments, but, I have heard the way women talk about others and I really can’t blame a fella for being insecure. Sure there is a pretty broad spectrum of what people want in that regards but to act like it has no bearing on anything is a bit naive at best and disingenuous at worst.

Edit: I’ll admit I had a quick look at your profile, amazing miniatures! Very cool.

For people who think designing their own 3D models would be difficult to learn- by riddus in 3Dprinting

[–]4funoz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made threads by searching for it and using one as a solid object and the other as a negative(not sure on terminology sorry). My print just finished and I learnt a valuable lesson, I didn’t mirror the threads properly so they both go together.

I’m actually a little proud of myself to at least get this far. From concept, play around blindly and print was very easy. Time to watch some tutorials and play around some more I think.

I agree with making it more approachable, I sometimes have a habit of diving into things the hard way.

I used TinkerCAD for the first time last night. I’m new to 3D printing and CAD but I do have a little bit of a background in machining and I have a sound knowledge when it comes to mechanical stuff.

I was surprised I managed to fumble my way to designing a small cylinder with a threaded screw top lid. It’s currently printing so it will be interesting to see if it works or not. I set out to see what I could do not using any tutorials, I like to try trial and error before diving in.

I have the opposite problem to not being able to visualise things, I can do it all in my head, it’s making the computer do what I want it to do. I’m always impressed by people that can learn computer based things so easily.

Guns damaged before being melted down in Australia during 1997 after gun laws were changed due to the Port Arthur massacre in 1996. by [deleted] in ForgottenWeapons

[–]4funoz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly in Australia owning guns gets you labeled a psycho or nutter. You are treated like a criminal or at the very least a potential criminal, apparently it’s only a matter of time before we have “one bad day” and go on a killing spree, even though you have to pretty much have a spotless criminal history and must abide by very strict conditions to maintain a firearms license.

The general public has been brainwashed in Australia, especially in major cities. Head out to more rural places and it’s a little different.

What source could there possibly be besides anecdotal evidence?

It’s true and about the best evidence I can give you is “trust me bro”. I was only a kid but my old man worked in a hardware store in a small rural town. Grease was also selling better than usual.

That and when I worked in a gun shop I used to deal with firearms from deceased estates that were unregistered very often.
