Yer its all yahoo japan champ! I assume you can bring the freight cost down as well if you bring it all in in a container?

i dont use containers, just ems and sea freight.

There's lots of water-transfer printed carbon-look trim pieces for R34's I'd love that I've seen on ImportMonster. The price isn't stupidly high, but as soon as you add in the shipping/IM charges - it becomes pointless :)

If IPhones don;t already rule the world, they most certainly will when IPhone 4 comes out .... I can hardly wait.

I have mates that bag IPhones and have HTCs, Nokias, Samsungs etc .... but none of them have the all-round features the IPhone 3GS does - and most certainly can't compete with the 4G.

I dont have anything against the iphone itself, but i wouldnt own one purely for the fact that syncing and usability with iTunes is toilet. I own an iTouch, and i dont bother with music much anymore, too hard. Well not that its hard, im just too lazy. Apps and stuff, A+, would love the same for Blackberry.

im happy with it so far, my iphone used to be unresponsive like that x10 in teh vid quite often, have not had the x10 long enough to say what its like in that regard. i have to say the scrolling and browsing on the x10 craps on the iphone from a great height

Not much of a fan of iTunes myself. I would like it if the iPod/iTouch/iPhone etc. could simply be plugged in and music copied to it without iTunes and its DRM rubbish. Also want a user removable battery in such devices!

me either .. i love my iphone .. never understood the 'zomg i just wanna install stuff and apple says NO .. wah wah' people go on about.

Some people want choice. Apple doesn't like their end users have such a luxury.

As for the 4G, I'm unimpressed... Once again they announce "new features" that have been existing in other phones for some time, the only thing that interests me is the screen resolution... Taken from the press release.

* 3.5" Retina Display - 326 pixels per inch (960 x 640) I would argue OLED more efficient however impressive resolution

* Bigger battery (7 hr. 3G talk, 6 hr. 3G browsing, 10 hr. Wi-Fi browsing, 300 hr. standby) Impressive standby, yes

* Front-facing camera Been around for donkeys years from various brands

* 5 MP camera with LED flash and illuminated sensor (tap to focus) 5MP eh? Welcome to 2007, atleast it's an upgrade from the paltry 3.2 or whatever was in the 3GS

* 720p HD video recording with built-in iMovie video editing (iMovie available in App Store for $4.99) 720p video editing with a max of 32GB storage? I can see that working well. Not sure why you want to edit video on your phone?

* Video chat (Wi-fi only) Seriously? Come on? I was video chatting back in '04 on an old NEC piece of shit

The REAL clincher for me is.... iAds I hope this isn't used an abused. Just the thought of a constant stream of advertisements on my phone, ergh, I get enough on the internet. Investors have already thrown $60m at iAds so it's gonna be pushed hard I think. No matter, I'll just get an app to block the ads, oh wait, Apple won't approve of that app will they?

I agree 100%....

Its a shame that the very reason apple started their locking down was a noble one - that being the fact that early copies of windows would constantly crash due to either poorly designed hardware and/or poorly designed drivers - they could define what precisely their customers were getting in terms of hardware - this is what's got them a brilliant reputation, regardless of how many people laud their human interface guidelines

now theyve switched to intel, the poorly made devices sold 15 years ago are no longer around since only the best of the best survive on the intel x86 consumer market... so thru attrition both the pc and mac people have taken advantage of the shoody manufacturers going out of business

thing is apple do have very nicely designed "products" which "just work" - by that definition they do a narrow range of things very very well and maybe run other software, if you're lucky...

the general perception of software vendors who tether hardware has become frowned upon over time - if Android can have a universal API that lets anyone write an app for android and it'll run on any version of certified hardware, then I think apple will find themselves on the back foot (this is in spite of them having overtaken microsoft for the time being - i think time will see MS come back on top as their business model doesnt require their own specified hardware (gates of borg meet jobs of borg)....

things started to go downhill when they forced people to use iTunes for their iPods... if a man is sane enough to copy the files he wants from folder to folder, then why lock them down and force them to use this software? Simple. Cash. AAC. DRM. All the foul stuff.

Apple are going to go down sometime or another. I think the steve jobs 'reality distortion field' has topped itself with the iTampon

      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

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Duncan · Posted

      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)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
