Someone went overseas and purchased these for me in duty free store, i dont smoke so i have no use for them.

Dude as a smoker who travels overseas allot...

Let me be the tell you that duty free Winny's suck ass....

Winny Blues are $67 a carton at coles and the duty free ones have tobbaco all over the place. I mean you get a half a smoke out of them....

Ill over you $80 for both cartons... Plus $5 postage...

Cartons in coles i have seen are $73 and these cartons have 10 packs of 20, making it 200 cigs not 250 like i have 4 sale.

My mate used to smoke whinie blues and he has had duty free cigs and u r speaking a load of shit.

How about, just for you a special, you can give me $400 and ill give you 1 pack. Dude.

Just so SAU doesnt get in to any strife...

Smoking can harm you baby, heath, friends, others in general, can start fires, is bad for you, and SMOKING KILLS! I think that covers it all :D

I thought somkers would b jumping at this opportunity!

$150 is lowest, not big drop but i need the cash bad.

A carton for 200 cigs (10 packs of 20's) is 73$ at coles, the cartons i am selling are 250 cigs (10 packs of 25's) so ur basically getting 50 cigs for an extra $2 each carton. How often when you go to buy cigarettes you get a deal to get an extra 50 for $2 that could b an extra 2 days of smoking for a heavy smoker.

Hope that made sense.

Enjoy.

ok, I go overseas abit, and duty free winnies are $30 a carton. hehe

remember that the reason why cigs are so high priced in aus is cos of the tax. duty free, means tax free..

you should be selling em at $50 a carton.. MAX...

DaGr81 i can probably get medals made up for 50$ sounds like u need one, congratulations on selling them for 50$, damn your cool.

DD thanks for telling me what to do, i need to wipe my ass after i have a sh*t can you tell me how many wipes and also how many pieces of toilet paper i should use, because your advice is REALLY useful.

Tax or no Tax, a smoker will be getting two cartons of 250 cigs for basically the same price as they would get two cartons of 200 cigs. so its still a bargin for a smoker.

If you are not interested in wat im selling then dont f**kn write anything :Bang:

If duty free products are not allowed to be sold on ebay or in the paper what makes you think the forums are any better. What kick do you get out of paying other line owners out.

You say you are saving for a line. Well ripping off fellow liners is not very nice then is it.

As stated above and any smoker will tell you. Duty free smoke are not exactlly the same as the Aust purchased items. Take for instance i smoke. I bought a carton of B&H lights (which are 6mg here) the other week from thailand and they were 20mg... Also id like to mention they tasted like crap. Im now using them as give aways for the bums at work.

Last night my cousin came over from NZ and bought me a carton of Winfield Blues. This carton is made up of 8 packets of 25 smokes. As you pass threw customs you can only have 200 smokes and 2.3 litres of alcohol.

So how did you get 250 smokes?

Time to cut your losses. I suggest you ditch your username as its in most people ignore list by now. Get a grip and re-join the forums when you learn to comunicate at an above child level. Sell you smokes to people you know, in your local area. Not on the forums.

SAU would be responsible for the taxes and duties from this sale....!!!!

How am i ment to know about duty free products not being able to be sold on ebay or in the paper, i do not buy anything from ebay nor do i use it. I have not read anywhere that such products are not to be sold on here.

I get no kick out of 'paying out' other members on these forums, however i do get annoyed at people coming on and telling me how to sell the product and what i should be doing.

I pesonally did not buy these cigarettes so i had no idea of how much they cost 'duty free' i was just basing my prices on what i saw for sale at 'Coles'.

Going by a mate who i know who has smoked duty free winnies, they said they could not notice the difference so i assumed that they were exactally the same, for this reason i got annoyed at the people who said they were different as i had been told they are exactaly the same.

They were pruchased by my relatives who went to vanuatu, and they were able to buy a carton each and it says on the carton they contain 250 cigs. They purchased them and they got it through customs so the law must be 250 per person.

Most people in my position would try and sell them for as much as they could get, still well bellow what you would pay for the in Aus. I thought that i was selling them for a cheaper price, not ripping anyone off as i thought they were the same quality as the cigs here.

I will however take your advice and not sell them on these forums.

Its very frustrating when trying to sell something when people rubbish the product and their views conflict with other things that i have been told. So ofcourse i am going to get pissed off and retaliate with stupid comments.

Thanks to all the 'Normal' people who just offered and did not create a hassle.

Goodbye.

ppl ppl ppl. what dont you just let the poor cu*nt sell his stuff, if you like to buy it, then buy it, dnt spread the forums with shiit, this is the FOR SALE Section not DISCUSSION. So let the guy do what he feel like, it is not breaking any forum rules.

And to add somthing about the price, maybe it is a bit high considering its Private Sale, so "Paradizzle" think about droping it a bit if you wanna sell em, however i still think its reasonable considering they are well over $160 in the shop for 2 cartons of 25's.

And this is private sale, of course you can negotiate with the guy, he even droped it to $150, meaning even a greater buy.

Cheers

Good luck Paradizzle selling it.

Thanks 'ratedGTR', apreciate it mate.

if i knew it would hav been such a hassle i would have neva botherd.

No hard feelings Col-GTSX as i can also see from your point of view.

Cya's.

    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
