That's my old set up soon to be better

Bud thats not actually you car is it? Beautiful if it is!! But ummmm maybe posting a pic of a license plate isnt a great idea?

 

[Fatr34]

Yeh that's my actual car. I meant old motor that one blew up. It's all good there's pics of it all over the net already haha.

 

[puggle6]

Just guessing!

Looks like 26 or 26/30 as you have gtr type intake phlegm.. t88?

Not up on the current snails, I had 2x nismo 581's on my girl. Fk I miss it

 

[Fatr34]

Na man that was just a RB25 neo. With a big precision 62/62. . And it's a greddy intake! That's the motor that blew has a built 25 to go back in when I have money but this growing is taking my coin haha. Yeh nice that would've been a fun car id love to own one but they are like 40k now for a shit one

 

[Fatr34]

Yeah.....that would be KILLER and 3500k does a bangup job of seedling through harvest. If I would pick a single spectrum it would be that. I LOVE the Citizen CLU048 Series and have 6 of them at the moment. Mine are the Gen6 1818 90 cri...a mix of 3500k and 3000k with a total of 4 and 2 respectively. If u go the DIY Autocob route, keep in mind that you might want to keep the driver(s) outside the tent. The 18AWG solid core fire and bell cable that is required to use with the BJB holders that come on the Autokaahb is difficult to work with. A neat solution is to use a butt connector and some shrink tubing. Get yourself some 16-2AWG braided lamp cord and use that for your long wire runs and connect super short little 18AWG solid core leads to that with the crimp on butt connectors/solder/shrink tube for a permanent solution that is easy to work with and plays nice with the BJB holders. If ya wanna get super fancy, turn the 16-2AWG lamp wire into 16-2 coil cable like an old telephone wall cord. Allows the COBs to go up and down and the wire stays nice and neat. I'm actually gonna do that shortly when I do some more shopping and get my 9 pack running. Good choice with the 3500k Autokaahb. Grab 4 and you will be set. Sweet ride too. Still got 6 years here in the States before we see any 34s...and that will just be the '99s. I still have YET to see one for real...that is a full blown cult level car like no other, and the RB26 DETT is pretty much aluminum drugs. That engine is a work of art both visually and audibly...even stock, but especially with a lot of boost, a high end waste gate and stainless exhaust. Godzilla. And you had one running 10s?? My old 93 triple black 5.0 liter GT was pushing 400 at the wheels and running mid 12s smoking the 275/35/18 G-Force KD BFGs halfway down the track. It was definitely an 11 second car with Nittos and some suspension tweaks. My friend stole it from a Halloween party and wrapped it around a Caddilac and killed a lady. Sad day. Still upset about it....cars are fun as fuck at that level. Have a good one dude.

Dr bubbles that link didn't work this is what I'm looking at. Thoughts ?

MAU5 kit is bringing the family meal to grow lighting. This kit has all you need for a cutting edge Grow Room, you will only need to wire up a power cord, mount to some rails and hang it, just USD1.14 per watt

Kit comprises

4 pcs Cree Vero 18 SE C Voltage bin, with built in solderless Holder

4 Ledil 103 Degree, sealed Optic

4 pcs Graphite Thermal pad(TIM) 1 side adhesive for simple assembly on the COB

1 pc ZPE 250-1400D 250 Watt Dimmable driver allows the 4 COBS to be run at just under 50 watts, the sweet spot of wall plate efficiency( can run 5 COBs max)

4 Passive Pin fin Coolers suitable for the 50 watt drive( based on eff% calculations), predrilled and tapped for the Vero SE and Ledil Silicon Optic( you will only need a screw driver not a drill press)140mm x 80mm

4 Sets of Heatsink Mount Bracket to mount your heatsinks to rails

24 pcs M3 6mm screws for the Holders

16 pcs M4 12mm Screws for mounting to side rails

5 pcs of Wago 221-412 Terminal Blocks

15 ft of Black and Red Silicon 600V rated 18AWG Wire

That'll do. How come it says Cree and Vero for the COBs? Totally different brands. CREE makes the CXA-3070 and CXB-3590s. Bridgelux makes the Vero 29s with the super slick built in holders. I do like me some CREE lights, but man they are like double the price of Citizen and I think the Citis are better anyway. I would go with the Vero if it was me. That built in holder is awesome and I have had a few issues with BJBs making contact correctly. The tolerances on those are shit as some fit better than others. A razor blade is your friend here....take off some plastic and get that thing sitting flush. I had one arcing for awhile and it burned the cob a little. I fixed it, but it's something to be aware of. Also...use Arctic Silver thermal paste instead of the little silicone pads. Way better heat transfer and real easy to use. Use a .177cal BB size dot and a straight edge like a card or razor. My buddy uses a paint brush and swears by it. I use a blade. Just put the dot in the middle and spread it out PAPER thin. .001" thick. As thin as possible with full coverage. A $8 tube should do 25 or more COBs. Most of the people who build lights professionally are using the paste as it's on a whole different level than the pads, and heat is a bad thing with LEDs. Hope all goes smooth in your shopping and assembly. It will be worth it in the end.

Yeh I'm not to sure why it says that good pick up. I'll have to give them a message and see what they say.

Geez man you all over this when I find out what ones they actually are I'll message you and get some more pointers haha. Thanks heaps for that man. I'll get onto them today or tomorrow as I want to order them asap haha.

@Fatr34 gday mate, welcome aboard.
I'm in SA and have very similar conditions to yours. Ive also got the same size tent and am running the same kit your looking at (except I made the mistake of buying the vero18 D version on sale equalling ~30w per cop not 50) so its lacking a bit of power, so I added a citizen 1212 in line for a boost. Here she is in action anyway..

I'm currently documenting some autos in the cob and zen grower of the year battle threads that are growing in bagged potting mix... Osmocote succulent mix 50/50 with super soil. Have a peak at the thread if you get a chance.

Anything I can help you with just hit me up.
