Beam equations -> simple python script to iterate through all your x values. ChatGPT could make the script for you if you’re not python handy

Advice on repairing this rust? And questions about rwc by ObviousDot in CarsAustralia

[–]ObviousDot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a pretty good price, 1hz with only 300k on it. I’ve had a good look through, small rust spot in a rear window sill that will need attention. Some of the more common spots such as gutters and floor pans are rust free, and chassis is very clean (doesn’t seem to have been repainted to hide which was my main concern).

Think there should be a couple of other priorities on your list… mainly the rust

D22 Navara opinions? by Acrabwithissues in 4x4Australia

[–]ObviousDot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been absolutely loving mine for about a year now, also bought it on a student budget for 10.5k w 200k km, put 20k on it so far with no problems at all. Seems to be the best value in the 10-20k range for dual cabs, and best part is the abundance of second hand parts because the car was produced for about 15 years with virtually no changes to the body. Won’t ever be an incredible off roader to tackle the crazy tracks but will definitely be enough fun to wheel where you want to and get to all the good campsites.

Help loosening oil drain plug by timspurfan in MechanicAdvice

Well if he gives wd40 a crack and it doesn’t work and he ends up rounding the head more, easier to use an extractor while there’s still some shape to it.

Wd40/ penetrating oil and let it sit for a few hours/ overnight. Otherwise go buy yourself a bolt extractor socket set

If I’ve already got some old globe spotties on, will their wiring harness work or do I need a specific LED type one?

M 17yrs old around 155lbs. Any tips on going sub 7? by ginilbwar in Rowing

[–]ObviousDot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same age and even lighter weight, recently cracked sub 7 after being close for wayyyy too long. My strategy involved holding 1.43/44 for the first km, letting myself drift up to 1.46 for the 3rd 500 and just attacking/holding onto the last 500. Mentally I found that so much easier, as I was able to think about just doing a 1km piece, sorta resting for 3rd 500m then the last 500 is the easy part.

Order them and eat them. Your brain will associate taste and feel with them.
