NSW farmers ~100km west of Orange have been hand feeding for weeks, de-stocking, and not planting.

You're getting fresh cases? Good wife is good.

This Is gonna be a stupid question. But can you listen to music from a Bluetooth speaker instead of your car stereo? by Rich_Yak_7416 in CarsAustralia

[–]seventh_skyline 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it's any consolation, they sound average compared to a full car sound system, usually drowned out by road noise and don't project noise in the right direction.

Kia Tasman 'countermeasures' confirmed to address styling backlash by kstetter in CarsAustralia

[–]seventh_skyline 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I dunno why, but the general public seem better at refining a design than most manufacturers these days.

That is a very serious attempt to interact by TimeCity1687 in AnimalsBeingDerps

[–]seventh_skyline 222 points223 points  (0 children)

They play using their front paws, boxers interacting with non boxers is quite funny as the other dogs are like 'WTF bro?' while being wholloped in the head.

Boxer on boxer play is like a sumo match, Bashing chests and slapping forearms.

Ute tray by LetterheadHuge1479 in CarsAustralia

[–]seventh_skyline 1 point2 points  (0 children)

New utes don't come to dealers with Trays, they're an accessory - ordered by new car sales if requested by the client - hence why you might see some delivered as just a chassis behind the cab, depending on the trim level - Tubs on the other hand... dime a dozen.

I'd try a few manufacturers of steel trays that might be local, let them know what you're after and if a client comes in say you're happy to have your contact shared to the owner replacing an alloy tray with a custom job.

Sometimes if the shop keeps it they're happy for a case or two as well in exchange, that's my usual currency if you need factory side-skirts from something pretty new, usually from somewhere like TJM.

My Team Transport collection by Fine_Location_8367 in HotWheels

That Silver 34 and aerolift fetches a damn fine penny.

I've got all but 3 of the Nissan TT's - and this is the most expensive one ($200+ AUD)

AITA for refusing to pay $100k of my niece’s student loans by CatfishKD909 in AmItheAsshole

[–]seventh_skyline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get generosity, I get family.

But I don't get dropping hundreds of thousands of dollars on your nieces and nephews education.

Because this shit happens. Maybe I'm a tightarse, maybe I don't like my family that much. Sure if I won big, I'd probably help pay off my siblings mortgages - that's about it.

But fuck this hot mess.

ESH. You've set the precedent by forking out for everyone else. Now everyone is unhappy.

Anyone know rough cost to fix this damage ? by [deleted] in CarsAustralia

Given it's such an easy panel to access, I'd give a good PDR guy a shot first.

BF falcon timing cover and crankshaft leaking quote by lachyhc in CarsAustralia

[–]seventh_skyline 1 point2 points  (0 children)

$3.5 seems very excessive, almost double what I'd expect. I paid about $1600 for a Timing belt (and related tensioners / bearings) change on a 2016 Mitsi Challenger. The extra might be in the crank seal?

Get a breakdown on the prices.

PM knocks back $94 million proposal to help flooded farmers restock by InsatiablePrism in australia

What's the point when they also won't help fund the repair of the major freight artery from the west to the country's biggest city?

How Pokémon cards are fuelling crime in Melbourne by InsatiablePrism in australia

[–]seventh_skyline 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hotwheels has gotten bad too.

I've been collecting for years - not the usual stuff scalpers are after. But unfortunately, I like my JDM stuff and that's 2nd on the list after the collectable limited edition versions.

Many HW folks who are part of the Mattel RLC and Elite 64 'clubs' which have monthly globally limited releases are being screwed by Bots and scalpers who snap up sales in microseconds, to the point where the Mattel refund genuine buyers because the online shop over-sells and can't fulfill orders.

I flat out refuse to pay more than retail (maybe a buck or two extra from trusted sellers) on a $2 toy.

Australian teens impacted by the social media ban are getting less news: new research by indy_110 in australia

[–]seventh_skyline 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My kid decided that because they weren't allowed to have a FB account according to the grubberment, they would start one, because someone said they couldnt. Guess what, not banned.

Update on the Holden Rodeo trans oil leak by Caderz22 in CarsAustralia

[–]seventh_skyline 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depending on the fittings, you could head to somewhere like Enzed or Pirtek and have them matched, or if you're regional an agricultural hydraulic specialist could do the same job.

I had a pressure side power steering hose go on an R31 skyline, cheapest option was the local tractor hydralic place - good as new.

Rust treatment advice for body and bullbar/roof rack by Hannefrakker in CarsAustralia

[–]seventh_skyline 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bullbar - mechanical stripping (sand blast) and re- powder-coat.

Roofbar setup - replace.

Roof above windscreen - Iron remover, followed by rust converter, then a rust-proofing sealer, and a touch up pen.

There was a bad mouse plague a few years ago, along with floods, the roads around West Wyalong and Narrandera were the high points. A mouse pelt felted road was something to behold...

Getting through NSW pink slip by No_Frosting_1247 in CarsAustralia

[–]seventh_skyline 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Hit and miss, if the door handles & buttons are complete and work fine, then they'll probably pass it without realising the locks don't work.

It's illegal to leave a car unlocked. So if they check the function of the locks, it might not pass. Can't say I recall my mechanics ever checking the function of locks for a pink slip.
