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...

    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
    • Hi, Marek here 🙋‍♂️. I finally fulfilled my longtime dream - recently bought Stagea and now waiting for it to arrive in Poland. There's only few of these in my country, and one of the owners  recommended mi this forum as a source of all the info i'd need since now i own one  so here i am.  
    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.  
    • Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
