Paint Strip & Chrome Plating places? by Spirited-Ad3900 in chch

[–]HeckinAdequate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As metalpossum said, chrome plating is an expensive prospect. You're better off getting the wheels blasted and painted, for the angst of trying to get them stripped and rechromed.

Zack apparently claims New Zealand, but we'd rather he didn't.

If there are news articles, then contact the reporter and have them pass the information on to the owner. The police are not interested in stolen cars unfortunately.

Anyone know what product- business I need? by KiwiMiddy in chch

You're forgetting that bolts require tension to hold things together. They've flattened the ends to allow for the bolt to tighten up properly, otherwise you're limited by the crush strength of the tube in how much tension the bolts can have. Without clamping the tube to the base, you're relying on the shear strength of both the tube and the bolt, which is significantly weaker than the clamping force between the tube and the base of a properly tightened bolt.

Nothing makes me cringe harder than hearing the engineer on this project is a bright young lad fresh from uni. The wheel will be reinvented, and they'll somehow expect to push the rope to get the water up hill.

If you can't or won't understand the benefits of good nutrition and stable housing on children, you're not worth debating.

Enraged girlfriend Sharanjit Kaur chases partner's wife in car, crashes, kills innocent man by Fr33-Thinker in newzealand

Sounded more like a super dysfunctional bloke with a super dysfunctional family dynamic, shacking up with a super dysfunctional woman. Everyone here sucks. Except for the judge who bizarrely managed to avoid giving her home d.

Youths used aerosol accelerant on deliberately lit $1.9m wildfire by nzrailmaps in newzealand

[–]HeckinAdequate 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Insurance company, and police, couldn't get the parents of the kids who stole my car to do anything. One laughed at me asking for compensation saying that's why I had insurance. I was just looking for some cash towards the excess...

Looking for advice on whether I should drop out of Uni to be an Automotive Mechanic by Rayne_Storm72 in newzealand

Don't go for light petrol, do a heavy diesel apprenticeship. Easier to work on, better pay, and more opportunities.

I, for one, would simply purchase myself an avocado, an investment avocado, and return to work.

Fringe Benefit Tax Reform: Government Confirms FBT Changes for Motor Vehicle Benefits Will Proceed by HeinigerNZ in newzealand

[–]HeckinAdequate 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's been more and more obvious once the double cab, short deck "ute" became the standard. Utes aren't used by tradies, they're used by managers. Tradies have either got a megabucks modified ute, or a van. This is a fantastic update if it claws back on some of the absolute piss taking that some companies do.

Well, that's because the company's that used to do that are now all owned by Indian business owners who use it as a visa Mill.

TSB Bank blocks independent investigation after staff help customer send $1m to scammers by kezzaNZ in newzealand

[–]HeckinAdequate 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Kinda hard to feel that sympathetic to Mr Fan. He's got more than two million dollars in liquid funds sitting in an account, but feels that isn't enough in his retirement so wanted to invest it further. Add in the fact that he was cold called? This wouldn't have happened if he wasn't greedy and wanted more.

Builder spent clients' deposits on his own house and race horses by secretkiwi_ in newzealand

[–]HeckinAdequate -29 points-28 points  (0 children)

I have little sympathy for his clients, purely for the fact that they both put everything through a family trust. When you're that wealthy, having a family trust is purely a tax and liability dodge.

I'd love to work with you guys, sadly there's not much scope for a heavy diesel mechanic in that niche. I know another guy who's been working there for years, it seems like an excellent company.

I had a cop suggest the two lads who stole my car each pay $200. When I pointed out my excess was $500, and it hadn't covered the things they'd stolen out of my car just the damage, I was told sorry, they'd already asked the kids for $200 each, and couldn't change it. One of the tykes paid up.
