    No power + Struggling/Laboring at low RPM

    Dude you rock. One the coils is rooted. Thanks a lot everyone very very very much appreciated. I'll track one down tomorrow and see if that fixes it!

    No power + Struggling/Laboring at low RPM

    No fuel leaked out till I had the fittings fully disconnected. And then it only just barely dribbled out. That was after just running the car though and I didn't prime it again before taking the fitting off. I just double checked by priming it and then loosening off the fittings and well, all...

    No power + Struggling/Laboring at low RPM

    Hmmm. I discarded spark out of hand as the leads n' plugs were changed at the last service only 5000km ago. And the coil packs less than a year old as well (or so I was told when I purchased the vehicle)

    No power + Struggling/Laboring at low RPM

    Ok, my VS Ute out of the blue started laboring and jerking at low rpm (below 2.5k) and also lacks power (slow to accelerate even in 2nd with throttle wide open). The engine seems to run fine when the vehicle is in neutral or park. It also runs fine when cruising at 2.5krpm + with minimal...

    I second this! Triple J ftw! Seriously, if you can't stand commercial there is a good chance you'll fall in love with triple j.

    If you are set on your 400$ limit then look around for a point and shoot that features manual focus + aperture + shutter priority as a minimum. Forget high zoom and high megapixel count devices. You want something that will allow you to learn and enjoy the art. Seriously. Go in and talk to a...

    Photography

    Yeah, panning for the most part but as they were moving very slowly I couldn't get the degree of motion blur I wanted. To solve this I decided to try a 1/60ish exposure + spinning the zoom ring (was using an 18-55mm kit lens). Seemed to work out rather well for a few shots, and most...

    Teen boy 'taped policeman's baton threat'

    Not illegal to record someone without their consent. It is however illegal to allow anyone else to listen to the recording, with the exception of law enforcement officers as evidence. This only applies to voice recordings, not 100% about video. However in this case I'd say it would be...

    !!new speed camera alert!!

    LoL. You clearly DON'T live in QLD. We don't have a lot of fixed speed cameras up here. We do have a lot of mobile camera's tho. I'd be very much surprised to learn that any other state doesn't have the same. You can't know where a mobile camera is gonna pop up... Or when.....

    The NRL Sex Scandel

    I'm absolutely sick of this ****. It is immaterial as to whether or not she "enjoyed" or regretted it later. It was consensual. End of story. Everyone does things that they later regret. You do NOT have to right to attempt to destroy someone else's life simply because they were involved in...

    Commdore or fourbie (first car)

    5k will really not go far towards a decent 4wd. And I've found diesel is the only way to go. We had a petrol 4wd at work and gosh, terrible on the road and terrible off it. Oh and by "Hold their value" I was refering more to the fact that for 5k you can get a clean, well maintained commi but...

    Buying a VS... What to look for

    Check how much the engine leaks. Pretty much all the early ecotec's leaked from the rear main seal. It's usually a tolerable amount but something to be careful of, especially if you like a clean driveway

    Commdore or fourbie (first car)

    Depends on your budget. I wouldn't touch a diesel 4wd for less than 12k. They hold their value far too well for anything decent to filter down to less than that. For a first car the commodore would really be the way to go unless you have money to burn. Seriously dude.

    Tagging?! So, who here tags their photos? I've slowly been going through my photos and tagging them. Takes so so so long and is just so tedious. Anyway, just finished the other week and have even managed to tag every new photo as it comes in. However, I just ran into a problem. Today I was...

    What Cordless Power Tools To Buy???

    Talk to the guys your working with? Surely they have some sort of opinion? Oh and what does everyone think of Panasonic btw? The company decided to give me a Panasonic Impact Drill when we got our "tools for your trade" vouchers.

    Just a couple of photos I took a few weeks back and only just got around to pulling off the ol' SD card. The top left one is... Really odd, don't know if it's just my annoying laptop lcd monitor or what but it looks really.... Surreal?

    Thinking of buying a bike

    They outed that last year. In other news, a semi thread hi-jack..: I'm actually looking at getting a new bike. I've only got like 18 months licensed road experience behind me on smaller bikes. Am looking at something around the 600cc mark. Ie cbr-600rr vs zx-6r vs gsx-r600 I weigh in at 85kg...

    HELP!! Smoke Detector going off all the time.

    commsirac, How many and where are the smoke detectors in your house? You do realise that they are designed to pick up trace amounts of smoke right? A fire in a bedroom of any size will release enough smoke to set off a hallway detector.

    Ok, I apparently managed to duplicate my user account when I first signed up to this forum. This shouldn't have been an issue except: mulligan-can (the account that I actually use) links to mulligan.can when you click on my username. I am the owner of both accounts (I can verify that via...

    HELP!! Smoke Detector going off all the time.

    This guy is on the money. A cheapie is just bad news. Get a sparky to come out and fit one for you. Unless it's a rental in which case it should have some fitted already?!

    That is a bit beyond my skills with photoshop at present, I shall have a try though. I agree, the sky in the first photo looks a lot better. In trying to show the foreground I ending up washing it out in the second attempt. I was more worried about the foreground detracting from the skyline...

    100% true! It is so so so easy to drop a bike. It just takes a second of inattention or being a dick/showing off and bam, your on the ground.

    Was I wrong?

    Your well and truly within your rights to tell him to build a bridge. So, no, you did not do the wrong thing but you also didn't do the right thing which would have been to organise a compromise of some description. Life is a bit of give and take and plenty of shades of gray after all. That...

    Martial Arts & Uniform

    Driver education versus attitude

    Most dangerous car for P platers to own.

    Hmmm, ok, fair enough. QLD is based upon power to weight and then an upper limit on raw power + no turbo or super charger. I heard that NSW is quite similiar, clearly I was misinformed. Thank you.

    Most dangerous car for P platers to own.

    Yeah but isn't it based around power to weight ratio's more than outright power figures?
