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..

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.

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

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!!

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
