It is a very strange use of the word help isn't it.

Watched a Yank tonight on TV outraged that they have been "helping" people in other countries but aren't helping their own.

Anyway, back to the fuel price, have we all seen the article on "peak oil".

Scary stuff.

Yeah, theres an imbalance of how much effort was put into iraq, in comparison to the effor put on new orleans. Not only is it the war's fault for the petrol prices, but the fact that China is also growing, and becoming better off, hence, they are buying a fair few cars, taking up consumption of petrol.

But still, the petrol price is BULLLSHITE! I need to fill up the line too... Got a lift off a mate to uni today, so that was alright, but still, petrol prices are rediculous!!! Government should stop taxing petrol so the price will go down, and re-cooperate the money through other areas, cutting down on useless crap, such as useless business trips to America....

yes paying more money for anything you need to buy sucks, but does it really matter? I reckon it's worth every cent :P just enjoy your car and be thankful. Your kids will probably never be able to drive a car like a GTR etc.

you know i always have had that attitude, i was always thinking that i dont care if i pay the extra .10 a litre, its only a couple dollars difference in the end.

but an extra .40c???

i feel like someone has been poking me with a stick for a year untill i can take it and go spastic!!!

im very lucky i dont drive to work anymore, i get a lift.

but this still shits me

60l x 1.15 = $69 = bareable

60l x 1.50 = $90 = joke!

Dont like it? sell your car.

and what walk? unless you get an electric hybrid, there is fk all u can do. Added to the fact that public transport in sydney is fkin hopeless, I back silvers rant

How the price of petrol manages to jump 10c/L in a few hours, portrays how bullshit the inflation of petrol has been over the last yr!

actually it jumped 20c, and im some cases more....

I just saw an article today on the news somwhere, that its supposed to go to $2.00!!! $2 bloody dollers! :P

For my stag thats around $130 or so for a tank! What a disgrace..

Honestly though, whats causing these prices?

Gday all, prophet of doom here.

See attached peak oil. I assumed everyone had seen it but then realised it was from another forum and Jan 2004 when I read it.

It is scary stuff but might just answer some questions (including big picture stuff like Iraq).

Far be it from me to defend John Howard but I don't think the Liberal or the Republican Party can be held directly responsible for the rise in oil prices.

Both our economies benefit from lower oil prices.

Circumstances and some collusion is what is responsible for oil prices.

Next week it will be $1,50!

The fact that the global economy is at the mercy of a small cartel is what's wrong.

T.

Its absolutely rediculous, who the hell DO we have to invade to get cheap petrol!!!

Seriously though, anyone wanna start working on a way to get the same power out of my car by running it on garbage (like the car in "back to the future 2" did....well i think it was 2)

Sick of getting ripped by governments. That oil document was an interesting read though. Scary stuff...will that mean i'll have to ditch the line??

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
