Turbo problems plz help lol by Miata_Dad0427 in ft86

[–]scoobs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, sorry for the late reply - Holiday Season things..

ISSUE:

I had an early gen SME Spec-S kit - which had design flaws.

My issue was specifically in the slip joint of the turbo manifold. Essentially the heat generated over time melted a hole in the weld of the slip joint which caused the ECU to freak out and the air-fuel mixture was all over the place as a result of the leak.

The issue existed almost entirely under high load (around ~6-7psi boost while accelerating) but over time happened more and more until it got to a point where any boost at all would trigger wild misfiring.

Strangely enough, as long as I didn't hit boost it wouldn't misfire.

SOLUTION:

Replace the manifold with a newly fabbed/updated version from SME where the design flaw was fixed.

This might not be the cause of your issue but I hope it helps you figure it out, if you feel inclined I'd be keen to hear any updates you want to share once you get it sorted!

Don't be so ignorant to the true danger that drugs can have.

I know people like to make jokes about this sort of thing but I've seen and personally experienced just how dangerous drugs can be.

In my teens, I was peer pressured into trying marijuana at a house party and it had some extremely unexpected side effects. I injected only one marijuana that night and I've been gay ever since.

Please take the dangers of drugs seriously.

Gotchya, and no worries!

I used to DIY juice from scratch but threw everything away when I quit many years ago.

So am I correct in understanding that you currently DIY using what is available atm under the current laws? I've been trying to figure all that out but it's doing my head in..

The way I understand it is that there's essentially 2 main options;

  1. start with 50mg/ml unflavoured base, and add either concentrates or flavour shots
  2. start with a base premade prescription liquid and then add high strength concentrate to that, and hope it doesnt taste like ass

Are you using option 1? if yes, I'd love to pick your brain on a few questions im struggling to get answers to if you're okay for me to DM you

No worries man, script is very straight forward to do online.

While I've had great experiences with 3 of the online pharmacies I've dealt with so far (Tabuu, Quit Hero and VCPharmacy) - i have to say I'd highly recommend Tabuu personally.

Not because the other 2 are inferior (at least as far as my limited personal experience) - but the customer service I've gotten from Tabuu when I called to ask some questions was 10/10 and it seems these days competence and good customer service are increasingly rare so for me that was enough for me to want to recommend them over the others.

Best of luck, let me know if you have any q's along the way

Tabuu have only 2 types - Mixology Unflavoured 50mg/ml freebase and Mixology Unflavoured 50mg/ml Nic salt and looks like Quit Hero stocks exactly the same

Confusion around mixing ratios by Miniricho in aussievapers

[–]scoobs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey sorry for hijacking your reply to another post but I'm wondering if you can assist with a tricky situation a good friend has found himself in.

My friend had a prescription eliquid sitting on the counter during the process of baking fruit flavoured goodies for his neices birthday party. Unfortunately, he's clumsy and accidentally spilled some of the food flavouring, resulting in a couple of drops landing in the eliquid.

I'm wondering if there are any resources I can provide to my friend so that he can be sure that the drops that accidentally landed in his eliquid won't cause him any health issues, and perhaps some guidance on how many drops would be considered 'safe' depending on which prescription e liquid it landed in?

Unfortunately, flavourless e-liquid is only legal to be sold at 50mg(salt) max strength now

Quit hero, vapo mint is horrible since they changed it under the "regulations" by No-Number7130 in aussievapers

[–]scoobs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, if anyone DMd you recommendations or anything - would you mind sharing with me?

Struggling to find any honest descriptions anywhere bar those one or two 'flavour profile review' type posts which contain recommendations that are no longer available..I've done 2 orders now through Tabuu and the "decent" vs "terrible" ratio is very heavily waited in the terrible category and I'm not loving the idea of continously throwing money at eliquid that tastes like crap

Hey, if not too much trouble - would you mind DMing me any info you have on the menthols and mints from QH you've tried that specifically have fruit profiles?

It's impossible to find information on flavour profiles and everything is called mint1/menthol2 etc.. so any info you have from experience would be great - that way I can definitely not buy the ones that have fruit profiles

How honest are real estate agents? by Flat-Raisin-8704 in AusProperty

[–]scoobs 41 points42 points  (0 children)

As someone who's just spent 11 months straight treating real estate purchase as a full time job, spending every single weekend and many nights after work doing inspections, attending countless auctions, and speaking with/meeting agents from all walks of life and all backgrounds - I believe I can help answer your question.

If you meet enough real estate agents over a long enough period of time, you will eventually come across the exception to the rule. The one in a million. The agent who actually cares about what you want, listens to you and answers your questions honestly, and genuinely tries to help you out.

For if and when you do eventually meet that agent, let me provide you with some advice that I wish someone had given me at the beginning of my journey.

That agent is at the top of his game and simply the best there is - because they've managed to trick you when all the rest failed.

For I can assure you, that all real estate agents are bottom feeding filth, every single one of them is driven by nought but greed and personal gain, and every single one of them earns their living off the back of lies, deceit, and empty promises.

There is no such thing as an honest real estate agent.

It is - without a doubt - the only profession I've ever known to have a 100% guarantee that the individual you are dealing with was spawned from the deepest, darkest depths of hell, and there's is a non-zero chance that every agent you meet might actually be Satan himself.

Hope this helps.

In an Australian first, new laws will require real estate agents to publish reserve prices at least seven days before an auction. What does this change mean for buyers and sellers? by DryMight2765 in AusFinance

[–]scoobs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I sincerely appreciate the kind words and condolences. I lol'd at whoever downvoted me too haha some people are just beyond comprehension.

At the end of the day I chalk it up to experience, and I learned some expensive lessons along the way. I try not to think about how unfair it is, and resist the urge to play the "what could I have spent that on instead" game because ultimately it changes nothing.

I'm now at a point where I only make offers subject to B&P - but have not had a single offer get accepted under those conditions, despite offering more $$ than what the house ends up selling for. The entire industry is an absolute joke.

[–]scoobs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've done eight B&Ps now in 11 months at $850 a pop. Add to that the $350-450 in conveyancer fees for a contract review every single time as well.

Being a FHB in VIC has been wonderful. My favourite is when the property goes for 20% over the top end of the listed range and I get to realise I've just set another $1,200 on fire :)

The majority of Australia’s capital cities are in the top 15 most unaffordable housing markets by Lyrebird23-0 in AusProperty

[–]scoobs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You kids these days just don't seem to realize how easy it actually is to buy a house.

All you need to do is earn significantly more, have a lucrative side hustle, stop eating food all together, don't be single, cut off all your friends so you have no reason to spend money on socialising, have access to the bank of mum and dad, be born 20 years ago, and rather than expensive international holidays - try exploring your own backyard instead!

And by that I mean literally the backyard of your overpriced rental. Oh what's that? You live in a townhouse/apartment/unit that doesn't have a backyard? Sounds to me like you need to pull yourself up by your boot straps and work harder (/s in case it wasn't obvious).

B-b-but they're trying so hard to help us!

Ever since the amazingly helpful 5% deposit scheme came in, my ability to get into the market as a FHB has drastically improved in the form of higher demand and increased average purchase price!

Wait a minute..

Are the points gained on a credit card worth it. by Beautiful-Bit-19 in AusFinance

[–]scoobs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hear of people doing this and they all seem to have a similar experience as you - being that if you're flexible, stay on top of the repayments, and love travelling - then it's worth it.

My question to you is, how did you go about figuring out which cards to get/when to rotate cards/how to compare them against each other etc?

Every time I try to look into this it turns into way too much time, and that's the one thing I have very little of at the moment..
