f**kING BULLSHIT!!!!!

I've had it up to HEEEEERREE with their classifications

http://au.gamespot.com/news/6303984.html?tag=latestheadlines%3Btitle%3B2

Australian Customs and Border Protection Service adds refused classification fighter to blacklist; copies detected to be confiscated, fines up to A$110,000 issued.

It's going to be difficult to even import the game now.

Actually on further inspection, they apparently had L4D2 blacklisted too and it didn't stop anyone from getting it into the country.

Also, if it's packaged, most likely customs won't open it; unless you import a whole heap of them.

One user commented,

"you get a $220 fine for bringing in food and plants that could completely destroy our agriculture and economy but you get a $300 fine for bringing in a game that is no more violent than the one that a lot of us played at the arcade when we were 9 years old......that makes sense."

He makes a good point there.

Regarding the importation of this game,

apparently customs is cracking down and you WILL be caught and WILL be fined in excess of $100,000! But since im oddly enough fascinated with that Border Security show, i fail to see how they will identify it as being MK9 when all they see is an xray of a DVD through the machine. Or am i just too naive?

Edited by TUFF_350

I'm sure if we ask the merchant to package it and NOT display anything about MK9 on the outside, then it shouldn't be a problem. Unless the disc is shaped like some sort of sharp object; which I don't think is very likely...

Haha yea and mark it sa "gift" with no value!

Well i just did like many and created a US playstaion account, downloaded the demo and am impressed :)

NO FKNG WAY!!! The one week I DON'T check my US account, there's an MK9 demo out..............

Thanks for the info :)

Ok well downloaded it...

I'm not just saying this coz I'm a fan, but the game is f**kING AMAZING!!!

Friends are over who've never played any ml and they love it.

I can actually see why it should have an R rating...

The main plot of this game seems quite interesting,

Developer Ed Boon describes the game as an altered re-telling of the events of the original first three Mortal Kombat games (MK, MK II, and MK3).[27]

...Raiden is about to be killed by
, and just before he delivers the last blow, he [Raiden] sends a mental message to his earlier self, and the camera rewinds back to Mortal Kombat 1. The
from Mortal Kombat 1 then gets the message and experiences a premonition. The game then spans Mortal Kombat 1, 2, and 3, retelling the story with an enlightened Raiden, who has changed the course of events. Eventually, everything you've seen happen before –
winning, the guys turning into cybernetic ninjas, has been altered. You might see a cybernetic character who wasn't before, and a different version [of events].

This was taken off wikipedia. The mostc redential source for information...

Live-action Mortal Kombat series premiering April 12 - Report

First of short series to debut on Machinima.com next week, one week before next game in franchise launches.

http://au.gamespot.com/news/6307262.html

I hope this show is as good as that trailer was...

So is machinima just playng this or are they coordinating it? Because I find machinima's humor to be on par with a 10 year old kid.. their stuff is just not funny or entertaining..

are you serious? +$100,000 fine? there goes my plan on trying to bring a copy in from europe in august!

Just tell them to package it in such a way that doesn't mention the words "mortal kombat" and to declare it as digital entertainment or as a dvd/bluray.

That's what my guy is doing.

so how do we get our hands on this bad boy?

i got family going o.s leave in about a months time if they bring it back in potential 100k fine? thats realy gonna put em off picking me up a copy

100k fine if you bring multiple copies assuming that they will all be sold. $300 fine for individuals. If they get it from overseas, just have them wrap it in gift paper. The scanners will show that it's a DVD. And to be honest, customs won't be as strict as everyone thinks. They have other things to worry about.

AND to get technical, its not allowed to be sold in Australia. If your family brings it in, they've already bought it.

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
