Really. Might bring my son :ninja:

Yup :) Spoke to Jazz about this a while ago as your 10yo wanted to go but even though there's no legal age here most fields only allow 13+ to play. Better than in NSW where you have to be 16!

No human shields Bard

LOL had that happen the other day.. I usually make the buck or birthday boy run the gauntlet and I was like "OK! who's the buck?!" (as they had led me to believe it was a bucks party). One guy pointed to his mate and goes "he is!" so I turn to his mate and go "who's the best man?", he points at his mate that dobbed him in.. I'm like "sweet, give me your guns, you won't need those" :)

So I line them all up and the two dudes go to run the gauntlet, just before I yell GO, I notice that the "best man" was just behind the "groom" and was edging in behind him slightly (thought it was a bit gay at the time). As I yelled GO! the "best man" grabbed the "groom" in a bearhug, lifted him off his feet and held him there in front of him while 20 people shot him repeatedly.. they both hit the deck after a few seconds so I called the cease fire.

Turns out, it wasn't a bucks party.. the dudes mate was just being an asshole :)

Good times.

Oh and I'm pretty sure I saw a dragon.

Hey Bubba, do you need a gun license to own a paintball marker in australia? Would imagine so but just to be sure...

Also, wondering what sort of marker would be a good place to start with if I were to consider buying one. I have played a bit and was thinking about playing some more, my play style isn't really reliant on spraying either. I'm more of a shoot to hit a person as opposed to spray and pray, I'll spray as cover fire when I am moving between barriers and shit, but yeah, any type of marker you'd recommend? :(

Yes you do need a firearms license (doesn't matter if you already have one, you still have to apply for a new category).

If you're coming to the SAUWA paintball day I'll show you my toys and give you some more advice but a good starting marker is a Planet Eclipse eTek.

Check out paintballshop.com

What sort of paintball are you interested in playing? Tournament training at Action is on Sundays from 10am, that would be the best place to get your hands on different markers and try them out, most people are willing to let you fingerbang their babies :)

There is a tournament on Sunday 18th at Action Paintball if anyone would like to come down and see what tournament paintball is all about. Spectators are more than welcome and the field is all enclosed so you won't need a mask.

So whats the deal...SAU v Humans????

We'll sort teams out on the day depending on numbers and firepower :D

That Etek looks hot, kind of similar design to the Angel series, love the elongated barrel :)

Might have to take some time out to come down and have a look on the 18th as I'm keen to start somewhere. Wouldn't be looking to jump straight into tournament or anything straight away but socially for a start and take it from there for sure. Will have a yarn to you about it sometime ;)

Too easy :D

Best way to get into it is to start collecting gear then come down to training, I find scrimages on the tournament field at training much more fun than social/punter play. You will also learn a lot more and probably get the bug a lot faster :merli: (it's also cheaper and less hassle being that you can just rock up and there's pretty much always someone to shoot at/with).

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
