I posted up this thread:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Ne...nt-t272279.html

I am not affiliated with these people in anyway whatsoever, I merely went in there to buy something and asked a question - could you do my fellow SAU members a discount, the reply was, yes sure, why not...

Can someone in authority please advise why this thread was deleted?

It is not a group buy, it is nothing to do with anything other than getting this forum's members more bang for their buck, why is that a bad thing and what 'rule' does this infringe upon.

I await your reply with baited breath, a bloody PM advising why it had been deleted would have been courtious

i am not trying to troll, i just would love to hear what I did wrong my trying to get everyone a discount on radar detectors, I made no representation as to the legalities, the functionality or anything other than specify models and the prices that were on offer from the business in question.

No they are not a forum sponsor, but who cares, they are offering the forum (which by definition is its members) a 50% on retail discount. What exactly is the problem I do not understand?

1. It was in General Discussion, should be in Group Buys, as it is a post made to sell items (hence classified section), and the discount is offered to SAU members (so group buy)

2, Radar detectors are only legal to sell, own and operate in Western Australia.

3. The means by which contraband items are sold are thereby also illegal in all states outside of WA.

Your thread hasn't been deleted, simply made invisible until the moderation team decides what the safe and legal means of dealing with it is. Feel free to speak to a WA moderator, and post the thread in the seperate WA only classified section if they give you the all clear.

ok thanks People.

As far as I am aware, it is not illegal to own or possess a radar detector, it is however illegal to possess one while in a motor vehicle in the States other than WA.

I dont think it is illegal to sell one then otherwise ebay would be screwed!!

Perhaps I can ask one of you fine upstanding citizens to move it to a WA section please?

Hello Simon

FYI, From a legal stand point you the re-seller of the item can be held responcible for the distribution of product interstate for use in an illegal manner...

Many Ebay sellers are ouside the reach of State laws, hence they can send away and have no problems...

The laws for distribution of illegal items are similar to the RSA laws, and in this case your the licensee of the products distribution...

Not sure of the fines involved with radar detectors but if anything like liquior than you could look at up to $50,000 per offence...

So just FYI, I personally would not distribute outside WA... Cause it could wreak your life for ever...

    • CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it. 
    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
