  1. Oh dear - that's what Nissan and my wife have been saying all along. Thanks for confirming ????
  2. Thanks for the suggestions guys. I have had the CVT fluid changed, but I will double check when it was done last. The TPS sensor I replaced was a Nissan factory part. I found out that when a mass airflow sensor begins to fail, it will typically generate an error code or “Check Engine light.” There is no Check Engine Light and no error code which makes me want to look into what ThailandRyan suggested:- Find out if the ECM can be flashed and reset. Is ECM and EMU (mentioned by hansombeast) the same thing?
  3. We have had a problem with our Juke for over a year now and the wife is pushing harder for us to sell it. Nissan Hang Dong (Chang Mai) have admitted they cannot isolate the cause, so I've been on my own searching various forums. The main symptom is acceleration without the driver pressing the gas pedal. I live up in the mountains and it is much worse when not on flat ground. I barely notice it when I'm driving in the city. My first attempt at a fix was replacing the throttle position sensor. It's job: " to tell the vehicle’s computer how far the throttle is open and how hard the accelerator is being pressed. The computer is then able to adjust the fuel/air mixture going to the engine so that is stays at an appropriate level. If the throttle position sensor is not working properly, it may be sending incorrect information to the vehicle’s computer. The computer may then not provide the engine with the correct amount of air while accelerating, causing a hesitation sensation." I get the "hesitation sensation" too, so it was worth a shot at Bt7000. When it was installed, the problem didn't go away but it improved quite a lot. Over the next few weeks and months it has got a lot worse so now I'm at a loss whether or not to carry on throwing money at it or admit defeat and sell it on. The Nissan tech has always hinted at the automatic transmission system as they are so bad on the Juke and our first one had to be replaced at around 50K. Maybe he's right - I just don't know what symptoms a failing CVT can show up. Any of you guys know if the automatic system could cause the surging I am experiencing? Any suggestions on other things to try?
  4. Any of you guys know where I could get hold of a few roosters around 7 months old? - I am in Chiang Mai.
  5. There has been a lot of hype about how you can earn money playing blockchain based games. My son looked into the costs of getting started with Axie and he told me he'd need Bt30K+ to get out of the starting gates. Any of you guys tried blockchain based gaming platforms?
  6. My personal experience has been that there is not much difference in cost between buying locally and buying online. There is however quite a difference between Thailand and the US, so you might want to do some cost comparisons and maybe bring a few things in your suitcase.
  7. I usually use PayPal but their fees are getting a bit high so I'm researching whether or not it would be cheaper to wire funds over from a US based bank. Can anyone advise approximately what KBank charge for accepting a wire transfer of say US$1000? Are there better alternatives other than Crypto?
  8. Checked it out, and guess what - he just posted a video titled 'What will Crypto Do in September?' Perhaps he is watching this thread ????
  9. As far as September goes, there is a really good video on Youtube by Coin Bureau titled 'WATCH OUT For These Events!! Good, Bad & Ugly'.
  10. Ahhh - the great reset. I've given this a lot of thought over the last year or so and from what I see (others will see differently) the majority of crypto projects will disappear when the SHTF. Projects 'of value' that are able to make it out the other side may prosper and that's what keeps me interested.
  11. Good catch. I shouldn't really have called it dollar cost averaging as I'm not strictly doing that.
  12. So my email box is full of some long awaited signals this morning: MACD Bear Cross, Psychological Bear Level Reached, RSI Cross Below 46,866.99, EMA Bear Cross and a Death Cross. I'm still learning what each of those means but I'm pretty sure that all of those combined means the market is correcting. I 'Tethered out' not too long ago as I'm sure many of you did. My overall plan is to 'Dollar Cost Average' my way back in but the big question is - WHEN?
  13. An update for anyone else researching this down the road: Response from SensiSeeds in the Netherlands was 'legal restrictions still prevent shipping parties from sending seeds or CBD products to countries located outside of the EU'. I am still awaiting a response from Centennial Seeds in Colorado.
  14. My thoughts exactly. I will get my wife or daughter to call TOT and find the answer in Thai (could get complicated in English).
  15. I have TOT internet and they installed a ZTE F760 router which came with hardware v1.0 and software V1.0.10P6T6 I'm sure lot's of you have the same model. I am trying to use the DDNS feature with NO-IP dynamic DNS service but it doesn't seem to be working (I'm reasonably sure I had it working at some stage in the past). What I'd like to find out is if there is a firmware upgrade and whether any of you guys have carried out an upgrade (successfully or unsuccessfully).
  16. Thanks a lot. I will be firing off an email to Centennial Seeds in Colorado and SensiSeeds in the Netherlands to find out what they require in order to export to Thailand. If it's not possible, then my research will be complete.
  17. So are you saying it is illegal to research where it's possible to buy a particular strain of hemp?
  18. I didn't know either, but apparently hemp does have both CBD and THC. Anyway, I have now been told what strain my friend wants. It is Baox. Can anyone point me in the direction of any reputable suppliers of hemp outside of Thailand?
  19. My friend is well connected and I think he already has the required permits so it will all be official and above board. He doesn't speak English so I rely on the info I get from my wife. All I've got so far is a mention of a requirement for high CBD, low THC possibly sourced from the USA or Netherlands. Let's wait until I get more info and then I'll bump the thread.
  20. Just spoke to the missus about this and she said that Chachoengsao does not have an online presence for us to do this. She also said that it is different for us as we were married outside of Thailand.
  21. My marriage is registered in Chachoengsao but I live in Chiang Mai and am about to apply for an extension in CM this week. We normally drive down to Chachoengsao each year and pickup the proof of marriage cert but that has not been possible this year due to lockdowns. Anyone else in a similar situation made an application recently?
  22. A Thai friend has asked for my help sourcing hemp seeds from outside of Thailand. I think there may be a particular strain he is looking for and I will update this thread once I find out. In the meantime, can anyone share their experiences of growing particular strains of hemp in Thailand - which ones work and which don't?
