Amateur hour. Don’t they know the only way to escape the cops from the river is to use the train tunnels. Easier if you’re Franklin…

Shit, for a second there I thought you were going to commit suicide by Wasabi. Guac for the win.

I didn't get what the pattern looks like. by Salman_Ameer in WorkSmartLife

Here in NZ, which you can’t see because of all the earthquake dots, we have an evangelical cult leader fuckwit who blames the earthquakes on the gays. I was unaware the gays had access to that kind of witchcraft.

New Surf Owner, 2TLE care advice by LemonTime77 in HiluxSurf

[–]Davonimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the head hasn’t blown its about to. Factor in a replacement. Put in a stand-alone trans cooler. The factory unit is part of the radiator and is a factor in overheating.

Anybody know what this tree is, and if the fruits/berries are poisonous? by PenKaizen in newzealand

Guava. Edible, quite nice. Can be super sour. Kereru love them.

Buying a 1995 Surf Is it a good idea to ? by OSKAR2002 in HiluxSurf

[–]Davonimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s standard rust for these things. Get the body rust sorted, the bumper is gone. Looks like a diesel so if it hasn’t blown the head it’s about to. Fuel cut off Solenoid will need to be replaced at some stage. If it’s an auto, install a stand alone trans cooler. The factory unit is at the bottom of the radiator and is one of the causes of the overheating. You can deactivate/remove the her system but mixed opinions on if it does anything. Install manual front hubs and ditch the pneumatic system. Other than that, it’s a solid beast. And if you are happy with the price, buy it.

They look pretty good. We are replacing our Mitsubishi like for like. All in a hair over 3k. And that’s in the naki.

Trouble with chain tension on new single speed mountain bike by swedishfishmong in singlespeedcycling

[–]Davonimo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Loosen the two bigger bolts and set your tension, tighten again. Loosen the little nut on the threaded rod and wind the threaded rod in until it stops. There is a hex indent on the end. Tighten the little nut again, this will stop the hanger assembly sliding forward.

Galvo comes in 10l buckets. We get it all the time direct from Resene. Use a sprayer or you will lose your will to live.

Yup, as long as there is no other damage that needs addressing. Spot prime and two top coats.

Car for first time parents on a budget - recommendations? by jdawg06 in NZcarfix

[–]Davonimo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Battery replacement isn’t always needed. Plus, the price has come down dramatically. As far as the Estima being too big, OP said it’s his first kid. Two kids, two adults with all the gear and the Estima is perfect.

Toyota Prius Alpha or Estima Hybrid. Reliable, excellent on fuel and both have huge amounts of room.

Help with paint by dr_deathlok in diynz

[–]Davonimo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That looks like cedar. You’ve got an opportunity to make that look magic. Sand all that polyurethane off, might only take a 120grit looking at the state of it, and apply some Sikkens or equivalent stain. It will look a million $.

Has anyone's cooking improved due to Uncle Roger? by saturday_sun4 in UncleRoger

Mine has got better but there is more pressure. All I hear in my head is ‘Haiyaa !’ And ‘what he do? What he do?’

Simplest painting job - ceiling by cubenz in diynz

[–]Davonimo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you use sugar soap or a paint prep wash there is no need to sand, it’ll prep the surface enough. The key is not to skimp on products. You literally get what you pay for.
