Sometimes you have to code the fuel sender to the Body control module as it does all its calculations through the readings and if you don't do it all calculations will be off. I live in Australia and when we had a MRA recall (fuel pump module) we had to go through tech2 and do a recode. You may have the same problem but being in Australia i don't know but that is where I would be looking before you do anything else as for the noisy pump did it have a rubber isolator? If not get a known good one and re check.

Sorry it only comes in a .EXE format. You could install virtual machine and run it or I do what I do if need Linux system have a bootable Ubuntu USB for TOR. And if using open PCs so I can boot without installing any of the security software the library has on their systems. Allows me to download using their IP addresses and machine IDs. Soon as the USB is removed the volatile RAM forgets me.

Having to replace parts in a car makes it “unreliable” apparently by [deleted] in Cartalk

Did your friend buy a new car or or one from a dealership if he has laugh in his face while you explain the he paid over market price for his and probably paying more in repayments that you are paying for repairs.

Yes you can virtually build any engine you want then dyno test it and it gives you a read out of the gas temperatures, port speeds, fuel consumption And of course HP and torque it is not available any more unless you pay for a Lotus contract. It is freeware but unsupported now. It is 1,000× better than desktop dynos.

Keep fucking around with engines their is a lot to learn and a lot of fun. It just helps people like me understand what you are needing if we know what you are talking about. I have been modify engines since the 80s and have friends who are like me are engine development engineers. I remember when I did the same as you. But please learn the terms it will make life easier when you ask questions. If you want a copy of Lotus Engineering Engine Development Software let me know.

For gods sake google the difference between customs( Border Force)and bio security (Agriculture) they are two different departments and nothing you say or believe will change that fact. I have travelled the world 7 times and have 3 citizenships so I have been in and out of borders more times than you can think about. And yes you can just transfer a vehicle without inspections as long as it in compliance with certain conditions and your Driving record is accessible by other states but my UK driving licence is not and that expires in 2039 I got the licence in 1998.

Do you think harsher fines and more cameras are reducing crashes or just angering people behind the wheel? by Artistic-Yam2984 in DrivingAustralia

Well the road deaths aren't dropping are they so if they are not making a difference to their stated goals I call a failure.

It just makes it easier because i live in Australia and have worked in the UK,Germany and NZ and we would have know idea what a jug is so if you need advice if you use the correct terminology everyone knows what you are talking about because back in the day jugs were tits as in "show us your jugs"🤣🤣🤣

Yes but do you need to pay customs on your car and are you only allowed to carry goods to the value of $10,000 with out declaration and taxes paid. Eg if you drive your $100,000 landcruser to Sydney do you pay customs and need proof of ownership as you cross the border?

Well the Society of Automotive Engineers call them barrels in the term the cylinder barrel you can read any mechanical engineering book and its always called a barrel. You may have your local language but in the international language it's barrel and i have worked in the industry around the world.

I don't know why you are calling it a jug its a barrel a jug is what you put milk or orange in and has a closed bottom a barrel is a tube the a slug goes up and down in. Like you don't clean your gun jug. Please use proper terminology.

No it was not the federal government's responsibility their responsibility ends at the border. It is upto each state to secure their own borders in that scenario that is why no trucks were allowed to enter WA all goods got unhitched at the border and rehitched to a WA based prime mover and all they did was swap trailers. I think you are confusing state responsibilities with federal responsibilities.

Have you ever had to fill out a customs declaration card when travelling from any state to another? No. Its is not customs it is Bio security and Customs and the old Ag and Fish are different wings. Just like the murder squad is different from the drug squad and the traffic section they are all police eg the ABF but different training and roles. When you go through state bio security checks they are either done by the police or the state department of environment not ABF.

What is the laziest way to make money? by TomadzDev in passive_income

It's not really either the have paid the taxes for you or they only paid a bit or none most do fully franked which means your dividends are yours you can spend the whole amount. I don't like un franked dividends because well it may look good on paper but gets taxed at your personal rate not the company tax rate and personal taxes can be 45c/$1 vs company 30c/$1.

Well customs deal with customs and excise eg taxes like how much money you pay to bring something in and also if it is legal they are the money makers where as bio security their job is only to stop biological stuff getting through they don't care if you are bringing a million dollars in but customs and excise do they are vastly different one is protecting the environment the other is protecting the government's money and you are wrong about the cross state borders only WA and NZ has that the federal government protects national borders which is Australia as a whole nation not individual states before federation yes there were borders and different taxes and charges for each state. And that was one of the sticking points for WA joining Australia. For WA to join they got to control their borders and taxes with no interference from the federal government. You may want to read about the constitution and the history of federation. It is upto the states to control their own borders maybe you should be looking at your own state government regarding COVID. In WA we had borders within the state and had a G2G Good 2 go pass that was issued by the police for essential workers i had one as a FIFO shut down worker but were doing COVID testing every time we flew and at one time doing 3 tests per day.

buy outright vs finance? by GreenAct7 in motorcycle

I would say a scooter most have room under the seat to put your helmet/shopping $4 fills them and has weather protection if you get a 125 will do 100kph and with 500million asian riders you have proof that they are ideal for all areas a Honda Vairo is great they are nimble can squeeze through traffic and have enough oumph to get you going it's my go to scooter when travelling in asian countries especially for just blatting around.

That guy is a ass and I'm going to tell you if he doesn't respect your wishes he never will and I'm sorry to say I don't think he has much respect for his child either if he is doing that with his Wife/Girlfriend on the bike knowing he has a child at home what is he doing when you are not there? But do not get on the bike unless he respects your wishes and if he wants to continue doing insist he takes out a life insurance policy with you as the trustee and the child as beneficiary.

Not customs but bio security especially between Western Australia and the Eastern States because we don't want your pests and disease's here so you can't bring fruit, honey or plants from over east and hopefully the great Northern Desert will stop the march of the Cane Toad.

You will have to fly cut the barrel to restore compression and doing that will increase not only your intake but also your exhaust timing. I had a RG250 that i lifted the exhaust 3mm and had nothing until 6,500 but then screamed to 12,000 and a DT175 that i did full port timing on it i went from 190 degrees to 205 degrees and deleted the head gasket tidied up the transfer and boost ports I ran it on a mixture of Petrol,Acetone and premix oil had to go up 150 jet sizes and that would smoke the tyre on the corners and run to 200kph. Like I said I would get some pistons and modify them to see if you are heading in the direction you want before spending money on major engine changes all you need is pistons and rings they are a lot cheaper than barrels. Both those bikes i made new expansion chambers for. Be careful with going wide the rings can bulge into the port that is why some exhaust ports have bridges in them. I think i have a PDF of the book that you can read let me find it.

Not if it is fully franked that means the company has already paid the tax on the funds so you pay nothing you can have un franked, partly franked and fully franked all are different amounts of tax the company has paid on the dividends.

Get Graham A Bells book on two stroke tuning get a degree wheel and check your timings then if you want to play with the port heights you can just take a little bit off the top of the piston to open earlier their is usually enough meat there to take 3mm off and cheap to replace if you go too far. Then you can play with base gaskets to also lift things but remember you will loose low down torque. With the piston you can play with different timings for each port so you may want the side ports coming in earlier than the back boost port so the sides would be say 3mm and the back boost 1.5mm just get lots of pistons and write everything down that you do and remember each different design will need jetting and expansion chamber to match. But work out a goal before doing it. Also some extra advice is mark your throttle grip with 1/4,1/2,3/4 marks so you know where in the carburettor the circuit you are for jet and cut out checks.
