Cause I wanted to shoot my friends with it... I thought I would do what seemed like a smart idea at the time and find out how much i was hurting them... can't laugh at a joke at someone elses expense if you couldn't laugh at the same joke done on you...

Plus I was drunk...

i used to have a diana one.... except it wasnt really powerfull. i think i hit someone with it. about 30-50m away, left a small bruise and thats all. it was good for one thing only. but my cousin's cheap knockoff was more accurate and powerfull.

ahh yeah..... i swear i havent laughed hard enough when i read that you need a firearm licence in australia to own an air rifle..... :wub:

hehehe The fact that you stated that you are after it just to shoot in your garage will never secure you a shooters license , as it is illegal too discharge any firearm in a designated built up area (assuming you are)....

The only way you are able to get a shooters license these days is to prove that you hunt (or intent to hunt) by written consent by a farm owner . Otherwise prove that you are (or intend) to shoot on a range i.e. by being a member an approved shooting range or being a member of SSAA (sporting shooters association of Australia) .

Once you have the reason part of the requirements , you need to then sit the standard license test for either an A or A+B license .

The license test is very easy (basic gun safety really) its the same test for a 12-year old to get a shooters permit as it is to get a full license at 18 years .

(assuming its still the same).

I used to own a Gamo 440 hunter in .177 (when i was young) It was very accurate with or with out a scope mounted . i used it for anything from targets to shooting small game ... was very potent on rabbits , feral cats and even foxes up-to around 40 meters or so depending on the ammo used ...

You can pay anything from $40 to a couple of thousand on an air rifle , I think i payed around $350 for the one i had ...

In reality with buying a new air rifle , there not the old piece of shi# that you could shoot your mate in the ass with at point blank range and at worse leave a bruise ...

With the majority reaching velocities of around 1000 fps and more ... only around 200 fps off a .22 rim fire ... there something that you hope not to be shot with ...

hehehe ...

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!

      You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
