Everyone needs to know this feel. Is the /dat/ music page still being updated? I got some shit I need to add.

>>14328213
>vaporwave
I really don't get this? Do people legitimately listen to this sober?

I enjoy it while high but otherwise nope

>>14328243
It depends on the mood and what kind of vaporwave. Future funk is vaporwave but uses funk tracks as the base and adds a lot of compression and effects. Here's two faves of mine

>>14327770
This guy back again. Should I try and get the guy I know back down to $7,000? The car is worth the $10,000 he's asking for and he'd probably get it if he waits long enough for the right buyer. But I want to buy the car now so will that give me any edge at all?

>>14328264
Future funk is pretty damn different though. It's based as fuck as well.

Kinda weird watching vaporwave going from ironic meme music to something real

>>14328199
we have no issues with cops here as long as you're not a cunt

>>14328289

>>14328285
Vaporwave is kind of an umbrella term now. That meme tier slowed down 80s shit is still around but there's tonnes of cool stuff out there. I agree too, future funk is some good shit.

No, but I was the guy who wanted to buy that. Won't say what the car I want to buy now but will of course reveal it if I do buy it.

Just buy the car now if you can, especially if it's worth more than the guys asking. Just make sure nothings wrong with it.

installing a car radio
Ive been coming across people talking about radio codes, no videos ever mention this.
my haynes manual also mentions this but no videos or online guides make any mention.
anyone who's installed a radio here? dont want to fuck up.

>>14328419
radio codes are generally codes you enter into the radio when you first install if so that if its stolen and put into a new car, they cant use it. generally only stock units have codes though.

if you have the manual for your car, have a look in that.

>>14328432
mm will do.
Haynes manual seems to be talking about refitting the stock radio.

>>14328437
if you're installing an aftermarket radio, you dont need to worry about a radio code.

>>14328447
ahh fuck yeah.
thanks man.

>>14328419
>>14328432
Radio codes are annoying, Everytime my dad takes the battery out or it dies etc he asks me for the code because i memorised it when i had to figure it out manually because there was no service book saying the radio code.

>>14328588
the previous owner of my shit box took the stock unit out and engraved the code onto it.

the code is there for security so if it's stolen it can be used but he's made it clear for anyone who happens to take it... doesn't matter anyway because fuck stock units.

i installed the new radio but its not turning off when i turn the car off :||

>>14329336
did you connect every cable? one of them is the ignition wire which will tell it to turn off when the car turns off.

what car?
what headunit?

>>14329343
I bought a wiring harness. there is a yellow and black wire running from the harness that isnt connected to anything.
peugeot 206 gti
headunit is Pioneer DEH-4600BT

>>14329376
iirc the yellow wire is the ignition wire which you need connected otherwise the headunit will always be on.

>>14329376
>I bought a wiring harness. there is a yellow and black wire running from the harness that isnt connected to anything.
and that would be why it's not turning off.
did you fucking read the manual anon? I bet you didn't. don't fucking lie, I know you didn't.
take 45 seconds to read it and you'll know what to do.

>>14329437

>>14329437
yeah i didnt, stupidly assumed harness would be foolproof.
there isnt a reciprocating yellow and black wire, so im not sure where that goes.
blue/white on radio side arent connected to blue and white on car's side.

should this be a problem?
i cant have wired it directly to the battery if this happens.
fromwhat ive readonline heaps of aftermarket radios stay on for up to 10 minutes after car is turned off.

>>14329801
if the book that came with the unit says anything about it staying on, you're golden. otherwise it's strange for it to stay on if theres no function that makes it do that.

hey guys,

dont normally post much on /o/ but saw aus thread,
old man passed away and got his shed key.
had two project cars in his workshop.

88 vette and an 89 fairlady z32.

so selling my Imported MR2 to a friend for 10k or so for enough cash to get one of my old mans projects on the road and be living memorabilia. opted for the corvette because the GM motor seemed a little bit easier to work on than the Upside down vg33 in the fairlady.

after thorough going over of car, doesn't need much , new radiator as the plastic end tanks have perished on one side , so slow leak, and tensioning of fanbelt. drove it to mechanic a few days ago , turned key for first time in 14 months literally untouched since my old man drove it last.

Danger Zone on mix tape in tapedeck.
tears and feels.

I'm not a robot.


dropped it off at mechanic for general service and new radiator and alternator since it's there.

hope the rest of you are having a good week.

Blanket ban.

There is an exception for essential modifications, eg if something fails and you HAVE to use an aftermarket part, but the replacement has to be more or less identical to OEM.

The other exception is air filters if I recall, as long as they are designed fit in the original air box.

Don't, for the love of god. If you want a midsize car then get a Camry or some other reliable Japanese model.

having a convertible was very capitalist of him. a real man of the people would have a very economical 4 door sedan or wagon so he can haul around potatoes.

Help me /dat/
I've been a neet for about a year
I was meant to take a gap year after hs but all I did was fuck around at home and drink with mates, and now the uni year is starting soon
My sleep cycle is fucked, I have no job, no car and no money. What the fuck do I do, I feel like I'm a failure.

>>14330932
as long as you're at least looking for a job and thinking about what you want to do, you're not a failure. i'm in the same situation as you but i've been learning other languages and learning piano in the meantime. get hobbies and shit man, doing something is better than nothing.

>>14330932
Get a job you fucking degenerate.

>>14330932
Fix your sleep pattern, stop drinking and start doing odd jobs for money.

>>14330932
>I feel like I'm a failure.
why my good friend, this is because you are.

>>14330932
Download an alarm for your phone, set it for 8am and get up and stay up for one day, that's how i fixed my sleeping pattern.

I also did a gap year, it was such a waste of time I wish I went to uni instead. Go to uni or get a job, simple.

>>14330961

what do?

gross man, I thought you had taste

>CT110
Not a bike I'd want to learn on honestly. The balance on them is really odd and the centrifugal clutch stops you learning how to shift.

They're great fun, but the skills from a CT110 don't really transfer to other bikes.

I'd probably add the RVF400 as well.

>>14331247
Get the owner to drop it to you for some extra cash. When I got my first car (old manual shitbox) I was horrible the first time I drove it, horrible the second, then I could suddenly do it on the third day.

as long as it's not turbo, super charged or V8 it should be okay right?

>>14331209
If it isn't factory standard, then no. It's not P plate legal.

>>14331209
This >>14331281

>>14331297
In SA it most likely wouldn't be legal for a P plater. Even if the engine was a factory standard it'd be considered a performance upgrade since the rest of the car isn't the same as the model with the engine.

The one exception I can think of is recall/warranty engines where the equivalent replacement makes more power than the original. That's a pretty rare situation though.

That's nice. I had 3 Acrosses, but all were that menstrual red colour.

>>14334828
literally more than double my car lol

>>14334870
only makes 20 more hp than the i6 but quite a bit more torque.

It's like 280hp IIRC and roughly 400nm of torque.

Obviously its not built for power output. a testarossa engine is smaller displacement with way more hp and torque.

>>14334828
Eh. Only $170 in fuel to get from Adelaide to Melbourne assuming $1.10 and lazy maths

How would Australian cars handle snow?

>>14334907
I will never understand why people build classics with old tech, unless they are going for a restoration, there is no point. Stock 351 clevelands only makes 224kw and stock 4L turbos make like 300kw and weigh 100kg less.

Holden 308 makes 180kw and stock LS3 makes over 350kw stock

>>14334951
Probably better than most cars, Australian cars were designed to handle the roughest roads, they'd rust pretty easily i reckon.

That's what I don't understand about this country, you pay almost 6 figures to put an engine that has better emissions, better fuel economy, better driveability, etc. and in other countries you pay fuck all to do the swap. Electronics aren't hard either.

>And 351 is a powerhouse for very little effort and money. Far better choice financially

Then there was this 1 guy my uncle knows and he asked how good a 289w powered xr fairmont was on fuel, It has to be the stupidest question asked for cars like those.

You get it for all sorts of stuff though. People are always surprised that my bike is thirsty in comparison to theirs, what do they expect?

MX5anon is this MX5 good?

>>14336046
Bikes use nothing though, I don't think i've seen a bike that uses over 5L/100km.

The commodore I currently drive because my daily 's motor fucked itself big time uses more fuel than a LS1 powered commodore and it's a v6

MX5anon is never on, He has a job at Repco and drinks every night.

>>14336072
That's deep, but 100% true.

>Bikes use nothing though, I don't think i've seen a bike that uses over 5L/100km.
I meant comparatively. Mine runs around 6.5-7L/100km.

>>14336090
Jesus, That uses the same amount as my GFs Hyundai. What bike is it?

>>14336083
I'm not sure which Repco but he has gone full normie

>>14336072
Nah, he is too busy planning future insurance jobs.

> 1.6L
Try an NB as they are cheap and easy to find with 1.8L engines, unless you dislike fun then go and check out the car.

I get 280-300km from 20lt of fuel on my DL1000

R1. It uses about the same fuel as the Mirage I had briefly. Does make three times the power though.

>>14336111
I usually get 160-180km before the fuel light comes on.

>>14336111
Not bad, My dad has a DR350 and the tank lasts him a month he travels 10km a day so thats about the same fuel economy as you

>>14336127
R1 would be good fun, My dads co-worker had an R1 or R6 with a joker on the back fender, that bike was fucking quick though.
