Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

Since i'm a young middle class single guy with no children this budget pretty much doesn't effect me. Some changes to HECS repayments for 2015-2016 but hopefully that'll all be paid off before the end of the decade and the effects will be minor.

This I like

MPs super freeze

The Government has made a submission to the independent Remuneration Tribunal proposing to freeze the salaries
and allowances of parliamentarians (MPs), departmental secretaries and all other public office holders at current
levels for 12 months, over the period 1 July 2014 to 30 June 2015.

The freeze will also apply to the pensions of
former parliamentarians received under the closed Parliamentary Contributory Superannuation Scheme.(Source:
Budget Paper No 2 [p 70].)

Now to introduce MP's salary caps

I got told off by a greens MP on Twitter. This makes me feel selfrighteous and confident that I'm doing the right thing. If you're pissing off the greens, you're on the right path. ;-)

Yeah for once I seem to be one of those who will be least screwed by the latest budget.

Can't say I'm that upset about most of it TBH. Welfare cuts have been needed for a long time.

Pension age of 70 is a bit rough but by the time I get to retire I expect there will be no pension at all, so meh.

What's magic mike going to be upset about? Rich b*stard have to pay the defecit levy?

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
