  • Aqua Regia turning light blue?

    I am trying to precipitate gold from an aqua regia solution and it seems to be something producing an endless supply of a light blue sediment. The gold was from computer parts and using sodium bicarbonate as the reaction agent. Not seeing any gold in the sediment. Any help would be appreciated as there should be about 7 grams of gold there, just need to separate it out?

  • with Kevin Rudd as Labor Prime Minister again will he listen to the voters?

    Julia Gillard became too arrogant and ignored the electorate, the people who ultimately voted for Labor. Do you think Labor has a better chance with Kevin Rudd of having a better chance of winning the next election than Julia Gillard had against Tony Abbott? Also what did Julia Gillard do wrong to be so disliked by the voters?

    Is 4800km on a motorcycle good?

    Have a look at resolved questions, you gave me two negative votes and I got the best answer because of them. Hardly seems fair when the other guy that answered didn't get any votes at all and I get the points.

    It seems you are not being fair to other guys with helpful answers by being a troll doesn't it. Why not leave it to others to vote honestly which you obviously can't do.

    I would rather get less best answers than to have your help; I'm on this site to help with the best advise I can give unlike you who doesn't leave any advise because you don't have the knowledge. Points are not why I'm here...

  • Mitsubishi V6 engine part name needed?

    Looking from the front of the car it is an electronic device behind the right side cam shaft gear near the bottom of the gear and held in by two 10mm bolts. I think it is used to trigger the ignition coils. If anyone can tell me what to call it beyond a 'thing' it would help me heaps.

    Also is the same 'thing' common for all the V6 engines, mine is a NJ 1997 Pagero?

  • Observed Trials in SE Queensland advise needed?

    I have a new Sherco 250 Trials bike coming next week, the 'bug' has bitten again. Not sure Trials riding falls into the bracket of Bike Racing as a lot of time is spent balancing stationary and at ultra slow speed. I'm doing it because I haven't done it before.

    Does anyone in SE Queensland north of Brisbane know of any Trials Clubs, I am living on the Sunshine Coast and have a few friends Trials riding and would like to compete.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated and I can be emailed direct through my Avatar. Please note TRIALS riding, not trail riding..

  • I almost got scammed "from" Dakar refugee camp, am I stupid?

    I was contacted by a Linda Amadu supposedly in a refugee camp in Dakar with the usual multi million dollar inheritance and offer of a percentage. I offered to help her refusing the share in her money which was help at the International Atlantic Bank Dakar branch which then sent me emails asking for silly information but the manager disclosed the amount in the account which seemed strange to me.

    Then emails from two "lawyers" Johnson Anthony and Bello Belanger wanting me to send them money. It really began to smell. Both the lawyers insisted they were representing me to release the money at the International Atlantic Bank and forward it to me for 'safety reasons'.

    Has anyone else had contact from any of there people?

    I have had to accept that I was so close to making a complete ass of myself. How to they remain to have email addresses including Yahoo when the service providers must know what they do?

  • Hey Taycee, how to contact you?

    You can't be contacted by email in Y/A, you might remember Harold Packham, rode my 250 CZ to 3 state titles, NSW, Vic and Qld. You must remember Matt Daley, in one season took all the state 250 and 500 state titles and the Australian titles in one year on a 250 Husky, I sponsored Matt up until he went to the U.S. to race over there but have since lost track of him.

    Email me for more if you like...

  • What has happened to Ben, seems missing?

    One of the guys who pumps out good advice and information I haven't seen on the forum for a long while. Hope he is ok and not gone from the site because of the trolls. If he has I hope the trolls know the damage they are doing to the 'good guys' in this forum. He would be missed by the dirt guys wanting and asking for help.

    Does anyone know what has happened with him?

  • For those who want to be MotoGP riders.?

    A 13 year old school boy living on the Sunshine Coast in Australia is too young to race in Australia but he has been to circuits practicing on his 125cc road racing Yamaha. His practice times have been faster than lap records.

    So in frustration he packed his bike and bags and flew to New Zealand, where he is old enough to race, for a weekend to contest the 125cc New Zealand Road Racing Championships. He won the event, set a race and lap record. Makes you wonder if he will get an age exemption to race in Australia or that the powers to be don't want the next Mick Doohan !!!

    That is what all you 'want to be's' have to do if you have ambitions to race in GP events. That is commitment.

    I don't know who the broadcaster was was but did anyone else notice the near empty grandstands? Any idea why? Is there just too much motor sport there that spectators don't go to see the worlds best riders? Compared to other venues in the calender the Indy meeting seemed to have been snubbed.

  • is mono fishing line and leader fishing line the same thing?

    Is there a difference between the two or can a length of mono fishing line be used as a leader. Wondering if 'mono leader line' is just lengths of normal line packaged and sold at very inflated prices.

  • Does Australia have a Department of propaganda and misinformation?

    Or is just grouse ignorance that our politicians come out with not only in relation to world affairs but also in relation to Australia. Both parties, Labor and Liberal, seem to use 'whitewash' with gay abandon and fail to see the 'big picture'. Too much energy is wasted in fighting each other instead of working together for the betterment of Australia which should be the primary aim.
