The knighting was stupid and just the straw that broke the camel's back. If it had happened 6 months ago no one would have really cared TBH.

It was more about him making a "captains call" than the actual knighthood.

As you said it was totally out of proportion, however he only has himself to blame for that. He has created the hatred by being a complete spanner for a solid 12 months and people are out for blood. TA farts wrong and it will be in the papers now.

I think not knowing the tax free threshold os probably of no consequence to the federal budget or him doing his job should he become treasurer, but as far as public opinion goes it's a disaster lol. It's not hard to remember and he should have known it.

Was nowhere near as good as the George Brandis interview on metadata though.... that was epic

I guess my point is "public opinion" has no real bearing on the ability for the Government to function, or for people to do their jobs.

Given "public opinion" is what dictates whether people stay in their jobs, there's a massive disconnect between people's ability to do their job, and the function that gives them the job.

That's the problem with the entire system.

Spot on because if it was linked to performance we wouldn't have a labor gov for another 100 odd years..

The whole system needs changing libs got voted in fair and square but due to labor and greens can barely get anything done because of side deals the public has no say in.

as much as I hated them, I miss the wasteland posts from randoms asking which car is faster or how to fit 22's.

SAU has matured from school holiday posts to politics :(

Were they ever in VWL?

I'd like to extend this to athletes, television personalities, politicians and pretty much anyone who does anything outside of their place of business that gets used to judge their suitability for a role...when most of the time what they did has zero impact on it and the media are to blame for blowing anything out of proportion.

Worst are football players swearing on the field or doing silly things and the media making front page news of it saying it's a disgrace and the public shoukdnt be exposed to this kind of behaviour, which is why we're exposing it as much as possible DERP

That whole fking Adam Goodes gorilla thing, and the flamin mongrel gets Aussie of the year because of the media and nothing else

Man I reckon goodes looks like an ape but I never knew it was racist till he picked on a 14 year old girl..

Can't stand the bloke turned into the biggest flog in Aus... (After tony abbot amirightguys?)

    • What type of track driving will you be doing?  Do you have a set of class rules you need to abide by that will limit your rim / tyre width?
    • I've been reading a lot lately about unsprung weight and how beneficial it can be to reduce it for driving on the track, given my semi's only have another day or two in them I am throwing around the idea of some lighter wheels and a square set up. I have 265/35/19's and 245/40(?)/19 Federal 595's at the moment. The wheels and tyres are super heavy. I looked up my wheel weight online and got 14.5kg naked. Not sure if this was 8.5 (front) or 9 (rear) but that's a lot. I have also been reading about the benefits of a square setup. Much better rotation and potentially less understeer.  When I throw these together I'm thinking about a 17x9 or 18x9 square (preferably under 10kgs per wheel) with 245 or 255's. I can get some cheap 17x8.5 BMW M Sport wheels, they weight 10.5 kg's each but at 8.5 wide could probably only get 245's on them? I know they come with 255's from factory but semi's are a bit chunkier. Otherwise it will be aftermarket wheels in a 9" width. Most of the other BMW wheels are heavy unless you pay a squillion dollars for some M wheels.  Although, the E46 M3 Style 67's could be good but I'd have to buy 2 sets to square them up.  My car has a tickle over 400hp and about to put an LSD in also, is 245 a little thin for a square setup? It kinda feels that way to me. Also, is there any tangible benefit to having 18's over 17's? Is the footprint demonstrably bigger? From those of you who went to light(er) wheels after heavy buggers, did you notice it much?
    • Start with the R32 GTR wiring diagram. The ECU is essentially the same, so the pinouts are good. The details around ECCS relays, etc might differ a little bit, but the reality is that you need to get ignition power to kick the ECU so it powers up the ECCS relay which brings the rest of the ECU up. This also gives power to the other circuits that are needed to make the engine run, like the ignition coils, etc. All of this is visible on the R32 diagram and should give you a strong guide, even if it's not quite the same as the R33. As to specifics - I'm pretty sure no-one can help you from afar, as there is no way to know what mistake or omission has been made in connecting stuff up. It always turns out to be "LOL, I shorted something and an entire wire vanished out of the loom", or "We never connected X or Y main connector", or "shit, you mean I need to have that fuse installed?".
    • hello wanted some insight on what my problem could be so i swapped a RB26DETT into my r33 gtst used a R33 GTR engine harness and im using a haltech platinum pro. The car cranks but no start the ecu isn’t getting any power now im trying to find out why i cant seem to find any schematics  or diagram for the engine harness for the r33 gtr anything helps thank you.
    • hahahaa @GTSBoy that is my last resort. Like use a cardboard and cut it using the indicator as a reference. But I was winging my luck to see anyone had a spare bumper because drawing the outline off the hole is always easier and less chance of mucking it up
