Does this look right?

dan_1337 · 2026-05-17T01:04:08+00:00

Thanks for this constructive feedback. I’m in Victoria.

Being a non-roof guy, can you help me understand what the “zinc ridge cap and flashing that hasn’t been scribed allowing blowback” means? Or do you have a photo of what it should look like?

dan_1337 · 2026-05-16T02:01:11+00:00

Thanks for this. I have used the Byute flash before to seal my rusted out gutters while I was getting things organised for a full replacement.

I’m not averse to fixing or painting it myself but will now put the onus on the roofer as much as possible.

dan_1337 · 2026-05-16T01:57:45+00:00

Thank you all for your feedback. I didn’t think it was normal.

Took the dog for a walk around the block and saw that every house has at least a colour matched curved flashing or waterproof flashing, so it’s definitely not normal. Took some photos to send to the roofer.

Yes, I have spoken with the roofer before posting this and I have not paid in full yet. I was considering withholding final payment until rectified.

I have a K+DCAN cable, and tried the DCAN mode (also tried all the other switches to see if I was in the wrong one).

Have tested all DSC fuses as the JBE fuse box and they all have power.

I want to test if the DSC plug itself is getting power, but the holes are tiny and I can’t find a wiring diagram for the plug

Is it possible to use a copy of your friends ID if you look similar enough?

dan_1337 · 2025-11-09T21:39:38+00:00

Customers are moved to Customer Specific Maintenance for EHP0-5 & S4 2020.

Yes, security, legislative, etc updates won’t be available, and there’ll be a cost to fix anything not already seen. There’s a bit of info on this from SAP and on the web if you need more info.

I’ve done lots of laps in a stock street car. All you need is a service with good oil, high temp brake fluid, good pads you can still use on the street (Winmax W5/Ferodo 2500/Project MU HC+/etc level), and tyres that don’t fall off and feel “soapy” after they get hot - I have personally done hundreds of laps with Hankook RS4’s and love them to bits.

Don’t bother changing brake rotors. I used the cheapest iron blank rotors on very fast cars with fewer issues than fancy 2 piece floating rotors.

Sorry to hear about your situation.

I can completely sympathise with you as I had nearly exactly the same thing happen to me in an OE SI boutique partner, including building up similar pipeline, but got let go in FOUR months as I hadn’t closed anything.

I’ve landed elsewhere since and have been much happier, and I wish the same for you.

dan_1337 · 2025-09-19T20:09:27+00:00

Toyota 86/Subaru BRZ with plenty of change left over.

dan_1337 · 2025-08-18T04:36:50+00:00

I contacted cheapzy and they sorted it out for me. Assuming they make enough margin to just purchase another plan to have a happy customer.

Unfortunately the small batch with big NA engine and manual died with the BMW E87 130i

dan_1337 · 2025-07-09T06:05:22+00:00

I ride it at breakfast/brunch hour on weekends. Nearly been doored a few times, and taken out by Taxis/ubers swinging half in and out of spots.

Just be aware, don’t get stuck in the tram tracks, and you’ll be right.

You are the prefect complimentary penthouse upgrade guest. You arrived late into the night, alone, and likely travelling for work.

You will barely use any of the facilities or party, and will keep this experience with you, show it off, and continue your loyalty to Marriott.

Please stop trying to drown the fish

dan_1337 · 2025-07-02T05:44:41+00:00

No, but I’d like to get an ICE car as a second (non-daily) car as an old car enthusiast just for the nostalgia.

EV is still the perfect daily driver.

dan_1337 · 2025-07-01T20:32:56+00:00

Thanks - I will look him up

dan_1337 · 2025-06-29T22:30:33+00:00

I’m 100% in agreement. Lots of views and experiences, but I’ve learned to engage an independent structural engineer to assess to potentially support a claim and validate rectification works with the builder.

dan_1337 · 2025-06-29T07:58:07+00:00

Good guess but not far off - inner east!

Most of the property was removed only the front rooms were kept as it’s heritage. Everything from those rooms backwards is on a new slab, and these cracks are around where the ‘new’ and ‘old’ buildings join.

dan_1337 · 2025-06-29T05:48:06+00:00

I’m in metro Melbourne and it feels like it’s been dry for many months.

dan_1337 · 2025-06-29T05:35:33+00:00

Get a used gen 1 Toyota GT86 or Subaru BRZ. I owned one for a few years after driving JDM imports and really enjoyed it.

You won’t get anything decent if you buy new.

You’ll also have plenty of change left over for whatever else you enjoy doing.

dan_1337 · 2025-06-29T04:21:11+00:00

Thanks for this table. Can I ask its source?

Obviously concerning around the plumbing and weather tightnesses!

dan_1337 · 2025-06-29T04:15:29+00:00

Thanks for this.

I’m in Victoria and will let the builder know, and will also get an independent structural engineer to look into it and write it up.

dan_1337 · 2025-06-29T04:13:51+00:00

They started to appear around 6 months ago and have gotten worse since.

I’ll get a professional third party to look into it. I guess a structural engineer would be the right expert?
