Whlst over TJM picking up the head assembly off a TJM compressor for Nisshead
I scored a dual cab canopy for my camper, boy is this going to change the way I camp in future.
All thats wrong is two x 2" holes in the fibreglass, easy fix IMO. now to start redesigning
the camper

[Winnie]

I thought the camper was for sale and you were focusing on just packing the Patrol for your camping needs?

[threedogs]

Too good to pass up IMO.
might make the price go up to.

Did an oil change yesterday and the oil lights not working, never noticed as I look at the gauge on the pillar.

Shorted the cable to earth and the light comes on, so off to Nissan for a new one. Bugger their special plugs.

$70.00 freakin dollars and it don't work FFS, turns out the nylon tape used when fitting the "T" for the digital gauge insulates the switch.

Put the old one back in and earthed it with a hose clamp and a bit of wire to the chassis, it works again so Mr Nissan can have his back LOL

Happy days

Got email from lawyers advising they have put the insurance company on notice and will be filing a breach claim against for failure to pay medical costs.

Also got a letter from the arbitrator approving an extension for a common law claim until november at this stage based on my specs report listing my condition as unstable and unemployable.

Will see on tuesday what the surgeon says but hoping for some positive news again

very good news mate. now you need them to deem you a TPI as in totally and permanent incapacitated.
As I said if you can hang take them to court, Just PM if you have any questions, looks like you have by the short and curlys

2 specs so far have put me down as "whole body impairement" at the moment without a % rating to due being medically unstable. Without that rating, I can't get much out of them which is what I need but have to wait to see what the surgery options are and what I will be rated before and after

whats the cut off point over there under your system is it 27%like here.
Hope they dont drag out the paperwork instead of trying to repair/fix the problem as best they can.
You may never be 100% after surgery but 99% is pretty damn close.
Confused by the whole body impairment thing or is that just a term till they have a name for it
To me that would imply to me no upper or lower body movement

[oncedisturbed]

It used be a % of "whole body disability" but there too many loop holes so they changed it.

Get nothing under 15%, between 15 and 25% all benefits stop whilst negotiatipns for payout are conducted and then reimbursed, 26%+ all benefits remain whilst negotiations are being conducted.

Common law claim only allows upto $465k but takes into account what you may receive from WC payouts.

EG I may get $200k WC payout then my maximum under common law goes to $265k = $465k total allowed but it is very rare to get that high now.

It was changed back in 2005 as you could have 2 guys with identical injuries and got to 2 different specs, 1 gets 5% and the other gets 30%. Now with the changes it makes it very hard for the specs here to give a false % rating and even a true % rating is hard to get now.

[threedogs]

tops back in the day was $185k with 75% pay weekly
if injured by car then TAC pay out is un limited
You have com care or similar ?
Not just common workcover ?

[oncedisturbed]

Comcare wasn't adopted over here because our grubs suck. Only have normal workers comp

[threedogs]

wow wish those figures were around back in the day.
but would prefer not to be eligible though

Is it just placed in or silicone ? I like the ease of an off the shelf item but like the idea of customising one out of polystyrene and cement. I'm undecided its just the time involved that puts me off.

So we were happy with a single bedroom studio apartment with kitchen and a view of the sanctuary.
Since our arrival the rear screen door wasn't sliding, the bedroom blinds fell off the rollers and now the couch leg gave way, "don't ask,don't tell", lol.
Any way, long story short, the maintenance guy must of mentioned all our problems in the room to management and miraculously a luxury 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom "VILLA" has been graciously offered as a free upgrade.
We graciously accepted.
How I love free upgrades, we also got free upgrades on our car hire, from micro compact car to a large sedan. Don't ask, don't get. Lol

Im as happy as a pig in Port Macquarie red mud at the moment.
I've always wanted a phone holder that's a simple one handed drop in design and I've spent a small fortune buying different sorts that just don't work. I wanted one with no clamps to squeeze or buttons to press so tonight I decided to finally bend up a gadget. Phone sits there nicely so I can see who's calling as my bluetooth hands free on the dvd headunit doesn't show names, only phone numbers when someone calls.
Obviously I can't show a photo of the phone sitting there as I took the photos with my phone. It's for a Galaxy s5 for those wondering.

There's 138.85 issues with that kit.
I wasn't really after a charging dock or anything like that plus my phone gets upgraded every 18 months.
Just needed a simple space for it to sit.

I use one of those very sticky mats , when they get dusty you just wash them to make them sticky again.
Mine also holds a LED see thru clock on the dash, lov it

Yes fair point. I think it would be a better deal if the had a gps range extender.

Yea. The unit I linked has external mobile antenna plug but would be sweet to have a gps booster or better receiver

Your phone will get you within <8m, except for mjr350s having limited exposure to the sky but I don't think navigation was his intent? if you need more accurate than that buy/ use a proper gps

What has made me happy today?

Fitting up the full set of Safebrake's braided lines, taking it for a test run and noticing a positive difference in the braking. Then comparing it to a mates Patrol and stopping a whole lot quicker than him as well, and he was driving an unladen ute. :-)

http://i935.photobucket.com/albums/ad197/BenKDJ/IMG_0639_zpsdtdaupb1.jpg (http://s935.photobucket.com/user/BenKDJ/media/IMG_0639_zpsdtdaupb1.jpg.html)

Also finished dicking around with my Engine Watchdog and am starting to get a better feel for the running temps of both engine and transmission. Yes, too much info can be painful, but one you've got a feel for it, knowing your truck is just that much more enjoyable. Work in progress there of course... wouldn't want to talk myself out of the next mod.

[Clunk]

10 more minutes and I'm all done at work.......... for the weekend anyway

Excellent to hear! I have a set at home, waiting for me when I get back from site to fit, so hoping that they make a difference.

[megatexture]

They certainly look like quality brake lines, I'm impressed!

[megatexture]

I have a gps on the dash and a Magellan handheld in a ram mount for off road but the garmin surprisingly has excellent bush track coverage.

Yea didn't think you would rely on your phone for nav lol

[FNQGU]

Hard to say what difference the full flush and new Dot 4 brake fluid made to the equation, or whether new rubber brake lines would also have felt the same, but I'm a happy camper with the mod.

[megatexture]

New bump stops as well?

[FNQGU]

Yep, one of them anyway as it was shagged. Put 15mm spacers in the front coils, and the wrap on the bottom too. Was getting an annoying clunk, but that is fixed too.

I had to lift our Van, the rear would often scrap on some driveways when entering or exiting.
It originally had a overlay axle. Changed to a straight axle and gained 2" lift.
Also replaced the springs, (from Industrial Springs in S.A). They added about another inch.
:cheers:

[gaddy]

Yeah I just finished building our old jayco swan , I took it up 250 mm this will be the same as I'm pulling all the suspension out of the swan ( 2000kg eye to eye ) and put standard in the swan to sell it ,
