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.

    • I used to have Walbro 255's when they were a pretty common update. (or were they 044? 040?) In any case I had a dirty tank. I thought the tank was good, but I would find the filter would clog in maybe ~50km of driving. If the issue persists, well, your fuel system or tank has crap in it that the pump is sucking up.
    • Hi. Ok thanks for the info. I/we do not know what tune is on that Nistune ECU so it is why there is stock ECU and that Nistune is for later when the car is done. I have guy who tunes Nistune and other ECU so i will then take it to him to see and properly tune for the car   And for the update. On 99,9% it is bad fuel pump. Which is wierd cuz it is like 2 years old(brand new walbro 255) and that filter (also brand new) was dirty.  I was alwaya pumped premium(100) on very good petrol station so i dont know how is that possible...

Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here
