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!!

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.
