Cool

No I don't know if you can get these things in Aus, but then again I don't think you really want an aussie sourced my unit anyway as they are 240V. I got mine cheap from a US seller on EBAY and I know that JC Witney will ship them here no problem.

Hi guy's, unfortunatly my EV plans have stalled along with the Aussie $ so I have nothing further to report. Having said that, I've had this discission over several threads on a couple of different forums (including this one http://forums.aeva.asn.au/smileys/smiley24.gif ) and can tell you that at l...

It is still not as hot as the orginal (water) heater. Interestingly a couple of the guys on the DIYEV forum have tried my idea of using a zerostart type coolant heater and a water pump with the cars original heater core (see previous posts this thread). One guy claims it rivals his original heater ...

200w is the legal limit for un-licenced bikes. Someone should be shot for that regulation. http://forums.aeva.asn.au/smileys/smiley11.gif Yep!!! Bloody ridiculous law. A kid can do maybe 50kph on a BMX going to school but in S.A.I can anly do 25kph going to work and in W.A I believe you can only do...

The rules for S.A. As far as I can remember are; No electric only, pedals must be the "primary sorce of power. 200W max 25kph max on electric alone Max of 170mm between pedal cranks max weight (excluding batteries) of 25kg's(i think.) 54Kg's with batteries. That last one pissed me off as It tips my ...

Looks more 370z ish to me

Reminds me of a porno I once saw

Carrera GT3's have two small radiators up front. One in front of each front wheel.
VERY vulnerable during racing!

I've mentioned on other threads my intention to use one of these to heat coolant for my heater http://i13.ebayimg.com/02/i/06/60/e6/93_1.JPG The reason being I dont weant to pull apart the dash of a modern car(nightmare). I got this one on ebay foe $70AUD delivered. It is a 120V 1500W heater designe...

Man that's sweeeeet
At 60K it's a bargain too!! depresses me that we will probly never seem them here in Aus
Nice find Sparau

I am also a licenced pilot and I would love to be able to perform many aspects of servicing an aircraft myself such as simply changing spark plugs and the like. But I am not allowed because even though I am certain I could do this safely myself I am not a qualified aircraft maintenance engineer. So...

It has been said above essentially that "it is my EV so I will do as I like". It is one thing to do your own 240V electrical wiring in your home (which technically is illegal). If someone gets a shock or a fire results it will be yourself/your family who will suffer the consequences and no one else...

GUS!!!
Well done mate
Hope to see your car at one of the meetings soon
What are your cars details? Donor?, motor controller, batts etc?

Thanks for the comments guys.
You both confirmed what I've been thinking for a couple of week now.

Hey Dickson, care to share the current price for thunderskies?
If the dollar keeps dropping I dont know if I'll still be in the market when I finally get my money together.

How many of you guys are having your EV plans pushed back further and further by the state of the aussie dollar? I've gone from " Yep! absolutly going to do an EV this year" to "If the dollar gets much worse, I'll have to wait and see how things pan out." http://forums.aeva.asn.au/smileys/smiley19.g...

90% of people won't be doing a DIY conversion, let's be realistic. Let's look at LPG. You can't do your own conversion unless you happen to a be licensed LPG converter. There is a selection of LPG systems and suppliers, but the prices magically jumped when the rebate came in... The same thing will ...

When they are made available you will find them here.

I dont see why we need to have item 1. LPG type labeling should be sufficient, emergency personnel are trained to look for them. Other labeling should be a matter of choice. With item 2, the legislators set the rules that we must comply to. as long as we do comply then we shouldn't have to explain a...

Does anyone know what caused cometboy (BRUCE) to quit the forum? I've been reading his posts trying to figure it out but it makes no sense. One moment hes an active poster then "literally" mid conversation he starts negotiating with ADMIN about having his account deleted http://forums.aeva.asn.au/sm...

Snak regarding point 11 I was alluding to the fact that in your post dated 4th AUG you appeared to support this and then in yeterdays post you appeared to change your tack. But there's no problem with that. At least not with me. Sorry if you though otherwise. Part 13 you got all wrong. mjcrow was as...

Bendy buses are registered as articulated omnibuses. They are basically a standard bus that tows a trailer that shares the cabin area with the main bus.

OK as promised here's an update on the heater I scored on EBAY. I received my heater the other day and I must say that I think the $29.99USD + shipping it cost me was money well spent. http://forums.aeva.asn.au/uploads/291/heater_002a.jpg It is a 1500W 120V model and very small & robust as you can s...
