Has served me well in the 6 months that I've had it... Panasonic P505iS: 1.3 megapixel, 20x digital zoom, 64 meg Mini SD memory card, 3 mins total video rec time, and last but not least... a barcode reader (?)

Damnit, we Aussies miss out on all the good stuff!
Actually, I think Australia is lagging behind Japan about 1 year or so when it comes to mobile phones.

On another note, I saw that Plasma TVs and LCD flat panel TVs were almost as common in Australia as Japan... REALLY suprising... (exept in Japan the flatscreen CRT TV is almost dead, whereas in Australia thet still had a good selection).

Australia is not too bad as far as mobile tech goes: sure, we can't touch Japan, but at least we are not in the pre-historic ages like the US :rofl:

funkymonkey: helps that the major producers of LCD panels are Korean of course *cough* LG *cough* Samsung.

Served me well for a year now...but due to it having been dropped many times it plays weird triks on me:p

I like the one with the TV tuner....what an invention...excellent quality as well!!

Anyway its amazing what a differance a year makes in the mobile phone market...

:D

Not so sure about the TV tuner one, not if you're in Yamanashi - you can only receive 2 channels clearly! :P

Watching TV and then taking a few calls would just about run the battery down too...

there's decent stuff out there, but not many resellers in Australia wanna seem to wanna get stuff from there. orange has sorta brushed the surface, but manufacturers like LG, Hitachi and Sanyo n Samsung all have AWESOME phons for the 3G networks, its a shame the 3G infrastructure in aus is still in its infancy. Once 3G kicks off full shwing then we'll kick Japan's ass.

Japans adavanced phone system was due to it pioneering telecomms department in govt. Wheras here we had telstra with a stranfglehold on what can and cannot be done. With telstra fully privatised that should be a thing of the past and new exciting stuff should be available soon.

I don't think Japan has anything to be jealous about when it comes to mobile phone services in other countries. Cheap phones, continuous new products, great service, never a problem, excellent coverage and getting better FAST, fair charges...do I need to go on? In fact the only thing that you can't do here in Japan compared to overseas is use the same number if you change service. They are working on this and it should be available in the next few years...

      Starting again

      Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Duncan · Posted

      Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
