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 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...

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
