Australian tax on tobacco is ridiculous

Gurkha beauty from Baranows in Hawthorn (cheapest) - $81.40 per stick

Gurkha beauty from cigar.com $19.95 per stick - with shipping and tax still won't reach $30

For a box of 25 at Baranows $1800

cigar.com 30 in a mazo - $360 and with tax and shipping tax would be about $160 say $30 shipping $500

Yeah I reckon, and now they cut back what you can bring back to 50g of cigars..... Works out to be 3 pretty much before they tax you at $436 iirc per kg

It's cos we all have to pay for your treatment when you get cancer

If I beleived that I would be happy to have the tax, unfortunately we all know it's 100% revenue raising

case in point...

the govt says it is increasing taxes on cigarettes to stop people smoking, as it is bad for you... however they refuse to make it illegal...

coincedentally, the tax on ciggies, keeps going up in small incriments that are just enough to raise revenue, but not enough to stop people buying ciggies.

Who wants to go out tonight for some northern suburbs trouble making? Its been years, we could go and see what the Epping boys are up to and show them that thomos boss.

Car just decided to not work enroute to vicroads.

I pushed it to a work shop, and said, fix it. I don't give a f**k, just do it.

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
