who put the banning it to action?

I have a few "ahem" big ones...

might go let them off in their front yard, cause im childish and take things too far.

John Hargreaves MLA...

maybe he's getting revenge cos someone strapped one to his kitten once :)

As much as I think they are pointless and annoying, I think this is yet another sad loss for the individual and their freedoms.

Agreed.

I usually have to spend the whole weekend at home to stop Molly going skitzo... which I don't mind so much, it's only 1 weekend... but some pets are not so well looked after. I drove home on cracker night once and I passed about 4 dead dogs just on one bit of a main road that had been hit by cars... obviously escaped and bolted... Not to mention the intentional cruel things some people do.

But that said, I agree with MIVEC and others... they take away this, and what next? Eventually we won't be able to do ANYTHING.. And I'm sure modified cars would be in the list if the fun police keep taking away stuff.... which would effect us all here in a major way..

LOL can i come? I tend to take things to far as well!

FIREWORKS are great!!! If your dog doesnt like them, dont tell him not to buy em!

Sorry!

It'll all work out, in another few years wewill be electing Gen Y pollies and then watch the fun begin!!!

The silly thing is, no matter how many laws, no matter how hard you try, you cannot protect an idiot from himself>>>>>>>>>>they always build a better idiot!!!!

If its not fireworks then they will find something else, can anyone remember 'car surfing'.

Unfortunately our civil liberties have been eroding for years and we have done nothing to stop it, couple of bitches and moans and next week its all forgotten.

I think we will all be microchipped next...................at least I won't have to remember my PIN number then.

With the rate that Canberra is losing any interesting or exciting events / past times, where will we be in 20 - 30 years? - Canberra is going to end up being known not as a city but as the worlds largest retirement village.

Think about it:

We had a drag strip - Gone

We had the V8 Supercars - Gone

We had fireworks - Gone

We even lost SAU Texikhana because some old fart who lives 10kms away from the Sutton Rd complex complained about the noise of the cars!

We still have Floriade though!! :D

I am seriously considering moving to Brisbane - Sun, beaches, theme parks, race tracks...

End rant :D

Wait it took these and more to make you consider moving? You didnt think about it even when you could buy fireworks, etc??

I agree it will become a large retirement village but lets face it, act wouldnt be much without the APS.

LOL it wouldn't be anything!!!

Canberra has the greatest opportunity of all the Australian cities to be the BIGGEST event city in Australia. What is it that is stopping the pollies?, in making this truley the Party Central/Sin City. F1's, V8 Supercars, MotoGP, Drag Strip and anything/everything else. Except leave Mardi Gras in the Gay capital (Sydney).

I went to Macarthur when the Superbikes raced right here in Canberra - Unreal!! The crowds would come from Melb, Syd and further to see all these events in Canberra. It would make this cold hole an enviable rep.

If it doesnt grow it will die. God knows it's already in a coma and likely never to wake up!

whats wrong with the APS. Without the APS this country would fall appart overnight

Exactly! Who else will prop up the morning tea catering businesses?! Who will provide business for all the photocopier companies!

And my God! Think of the water cooler companies and their families!

:P

Just kidding, don't audit my tax files >_>

to be honest i welcome this,

my mates house got burnt down when he wasn't home, because one of the next door neighbors fireworks landed on the roof of his house.

secondly, it's to easy for underage people to get the hand on fireworks, i know this because i have had under age friends ask me if i want any because they get there hands on them every year.

add to that the fact that people my area of residence (were all the houses are less than 3 meters apart and all the houses are made of weather board) have let off fireworks in there back yards (some people just don't have brains)

and even though the laws used to state that the fire works could only be let of on the queens birthday long week end. people are always continuing to let them off even weeks after wards.

plus i like my sleep

^ghay^

Cept for ur friends house, that sucks...

LOL

I think they are great and bring a lot of spare coin in to ACT. I think ACT should be the only place allowed to sell them imagine the money that would bring into ACT. Gotta love free porn with your fireworks as well! I DID!!

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • 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.
    • 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!
