Did anyone think he escaped? Seemed obvious.

It's interesting the majority of the media completely ignore abbots achievements tax repeals, stopped boats, managed tense Indonesia relationship after labors fk up, free trade agreements and so forth.. All things they pledged to do

There was talk of him staying on.

Tax repeals: I'm guessing you are referring to the carbon tax. We had a system that penalized carbon emissions, and then scrapped it just as the rest of the civilized world is moving towards similar taxes and looking at us like some sort of giant oversized Alabama... because apparently coal is the way of the future.

Meanwhile electricity bills didn't reduce and the tax to GDP ratio is the second highest the country has ever seen.

Stopped the boats: Well this hasn't actually happened, we just spend the same amount of cash turning them around and keeping the media in the dark about operations while paying a prison company to run offshore detention centres.

Relations with Indonesia haven't been repaired at all. They hate us. Despite this being a labor issue Abbott still pissed them off pretty heavily over the Bali 9 thing and they have just gutted our beef expert market by 75% for no reason other than to f**k with us.

Free trade agreements are not exactly universally popular and have some fairly worrying elements to them, not least of which is the ability for external governments / companies to sue australia if we pass laws that decrease their profits.

No idea at all why everyone isn't sucking his dick...

That was the Abbott promise. Was meant to be $550 p/a

Personally I copped a $100 reduction and a $90 charge for implementing it.... not that the government can be blamed for the implementation charge but I mentioned it as it's pretty funny

Fortunately there are people smarter than politicians behind regulation of prices and fees.

I stand corrected, the AER doesn't regulate price in Victoria. It's the consumers responsibility to use an AER website to compare prices and make a decision. Probably explains why retailers in Victoria are so f**king pushy and difficult to shake

    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it. 
    • Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
