I'd assume it's from Lamborghini Sydney which was recently closed and had its cars repod.

yes, i remember them making the promise of 'screwing the country' :rolleyes:

growth with a 3, unemployment low 5's, 3% cash rate, amongst lowest ranked tax to gdp and net debt stats amongst OECD nations, billions more left of investment to come in the resource industry etc etc.... yep, really screwing the country.

LOL @ lowest ranked tax to GDP, and yet we are the highest taxed people in the world... I don't know about you, but I despise having to fork out 48c in the dollar, and if that's not bad enough the Government fuel tax is set to rise again by up to 10c in 2013 (making it ~75c/ltr)....

Gillard is nothing but a one eyed 7urkey with no legs, and a brain snap... Any 4 year old can see Australia is a runaway train right now, even Gillard has no idea WTF is happening (other than paying off the boat people on Craig Thomson's credit card) and to make things worse, Swanny called a 3% cash rate an "emergency" cash rate just 12 months ago, then went on free to air TV saying "anyone who said that is not credible and cannot be taken seriously" the field of economics..

Apparently his own words became a Tony Abbot scare campaign LOL

If only you could see the writing on the wall.... Recession is right on our door steps, and the country is in debt up to its eyeballs once again. Oh wait, was that Peter Slipper's fault? Maybe Gillard's union fund she set up has the funds required to bring that surplus in 2013 and keep at least 1 promise to the Australian people???

Oh, and BTW, the mining boom is over. How do I know that? I work in the industry and in recent times have held my head in shame watching thousands of hard working Aussies lose their jobs (BHP, Rio, Fortesque, etc) What was that you said about investment in our resource industry? Oh yeah, that's right, that's the sound of China buying and cashing in on our mines and using import labour to run them like prison camps because the price of mineral ore has halved.....

End rant, back on topic... :verymad:

Uh wouldn't call it a bargain for an 09. Yeh everything is selling for a lot, our ones are selling on average $10k more than reserve. Awesome for us! 2012 Lamborghini gaillardia 470km. Sold for something like 50k less than retail

I went to Sydney to check it out. Drove home early and didn't attend the auction when I saw the interest in the GTR LOL

At $96k it's not cheap when you add the premium and then EFT fees... Dealer will slap $110k on it though.

Certainly a success for you there Aaron. Plenty of money still out there for these cars!

End rant, back on topic... :verymad:

jeepers creepers, where to start! my oh my we have entered a fact free zone. Oh and i saw your original post, interesting edits....

you originally made the inference that my post suggested current gov was responsible for the suite of numbers i listed above. Read my post, i didn't apportion responsibility any which way, it was a rebuttal to your spurious claim that Gillard gov is "keeping its promises by screwing the country", if that were the case the country would be.... screwed, in your opinion. I then stated the FACTS, and if you believe the current economic conditions are analogous with a "screwed country" i don't think we are living on the same planet. And no objective, level headed person could share your assertion.

1. "we are the highest taxed people in the world"

Nope, Denmark and Sweden routinely, and continue to take that title. Your claim is just plain and utterly wrong. A few points. There's no point comparing ourselves to Libya or other such countries with crazy tax burdens (or lack there-of), it only really makes sense to compare to similar countries. The closest you'll get is the OECD. Of which, as of 2010 we are the 5th lowest taxing country as of percentage of GDP in the ENTIRE OECD

tax_overview-3.gif

Source of that graph is OECD and ABS, 2009 put us at 6th lowest. OECD data for 2010,,

http://www.oecd-ilib...table-2012-1-en

Puts us at 5th lowest in the OECD.

But wait, there's more... Treasury numbers for 2010-11 (not in the most recent OECD stats, but where they get the numbers from) note: "he tax to GDP ratio fell 4.2 percentage points to 20.1 per cent in 2010-11"

20.1 %! And you think we are the "highest taxed people in the world"??? - That level of tax take would almost put us at the VERY BOTTOM of the tax pile amongst OECD nations. That is just insane! This makes your assertion of our level of taxation untenable. Moving on...

DEBT

Again, facts aren't going to be too kind to you here either...

http://www.oecd-ilib...v-debt-table-en

Australia's ranking for 2012? Government debt as a percentage of GDP: 29.3% ranking us SECOND. Beaten only be Estonia and we even nudge out tax haven Luxembourg for 2nd spot.

Maybe you're thinking everyone is there or there-abouts, so being SECOND LOWEST doesn't mean much as the spread is narrow... not quite. Average Government debt to GDP ratio for OECD nations? a whopping 108.7%

So your second assertion that the "country is in debt up to its eyeballs" is also false. Debt to GDP ration of 28% is negligible, and of no particular concern. And if you're truly worried about a coming economic apocalypse (and it's fairly obvious you would advocate for a budget surplus position from your comments) explain how rushing to surplus is going to help if there is such nastiness coming our way? You can't simultaneously hold both positions.

But if you still think 28% is "up to your eyeballs", some guy called Glenn Stevens has had a few words to say on this over the last few years, July 2010, Anika Foundation speech (in response to audience question)

"There is virtually no net public debt in the country at all in contrast to much of the developed world,"

"The most recent figures out of Canberra was a peak of five or six per cent of GDP. So far from that being the highest in history, it is closer to the lowest."

And in a speech this year, there's some more interesting comments from the RBA Gov, also alluding to this 'glass half empty' view that's taken hold... (wonder how that could have happened...)

sp-gov-240712-graph2.gif

sp-gov-240712-graph3.gif

Yep, doing amazingly fine given the current conditions around the world.

As for the mining boom? Did i refer to that? I don't think so. I was simply referring to the huge amount of capital works that is still to come. Do you think the rural millions in China/India are going to stop moving to the cities? Do you think Vietnam/Indonesia etc are going to stop developing? Just because commodity prices aren't stratospherically high does that mean the resource industry won't be profitable? The insane part of the party is over yes, but the party itself isn't. Even though it's not at all taking into account the full costs of extracting all those resources...

no point referring to all the other "fluff" in your post when we're discussing such weighty topics.

I have plenty more re: how well Australia is doing but this post is already long enough. I will revisit the RBA interest rates point you raised.

      Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s

      It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.

      Cas issue

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
