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...

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 have a photo of mine handy and I'm too lazy to search for it...but both I've used are Sony non-camera mobiles...it is about time I upgraded again.

I don't quite think so...:):D:D

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...

      Took a little trip  went to nismo hoping the get my fuel tank hoses and unfortunately they told me they didn’t have stock luckily I was able to go to a Nissan parts store and they were able to order them in for me  then can home and cleaned the tank with some degreaser and fitted the new hoses before putting it back in the car

      100% I’ll hack into the 33. Strap a turbo onto the RB25DE and/or put the 25 head on a 30 block. 33 passed in cos the reserve was too high. I’ll try lowballing it again and negotiate. Aim is to have it landed and on the road for under 15k, then spend the same amount on top in mods.

      It's generally best practise to run 1x run without VCT enabled, then 1x run enabled till redline. Overlay the two torque graphs and you'll find the desired RPM to turn off VCT. Sometimes, it might be even worthwhile turning off VCT earlier control torque/cylinder pressure and using VCT purely to spool the turbo.

      First time I ever have issues with Amazon, but my wife often tells me to keep an eye out for fakes. It finally got me. I wrapped up the conversation with Gates. The gentlemen I was talking to seemed to hate his job but the response time on their technical support is outstanding. He stated that the hose is marked with some variation of "SAE J30R10" but that if you only purchase a 1 foot length like I did, it is possible to get a cut between markings and have a blank hose. To no ones surprise, he stated the swelling and "gummyness" isn't normal and to replace/buy from somewhere else (He mentioned NAPA). I'll toss a small end of the new one in gas for a few days before pulling the hanger out again, just to be safe.  Hose should arrive Monday. For those running multiple pump in tank hangers, you know the joys of getting them out and back in. I'm surprised I haven't destroyed my level float yet.  Lastly once I wrap all of this up, I'm planning on hitting the dyno again in 2 weeks while I'm on vacation. I realized recently that my VCT is set to turn off at 5000RPM. I'm surprised it wasn't increased while I was on the dyno last. I'm expecting I can increase it to ~6500RPM, if not more. Should hopefully get another 15-20kw out of it. I also want him to revisit my knock thresholds. I'm occasionally getting false knock around 3000rpm.
