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...

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
