Didn't read every reply, so this has probably been said a few times but...

That ad was artistic, and very well thought out concept.... what is wrong with us?? what is going wrong in australia? It's all gone pear shaped.

All of the above aside, I didn't find it very artistic at all...Looked like something a retarded 3 year old with no arms would draw....

Having said that, still a bullshit descision to ban it, but I wouldn't go as far as calling it artistic

What has this got to do with America? This has everything to do with the government. If it wasn't for America, we'd all be speaking Japanese.

America's always been the first to adopt politically correct limp wristedness, for example using "happy holidays" instead of "merry christmas" just because a bunch of jewish people happen to be celebrating hannukuh at the same time. This is probably due to the fact that people seem to sue each other at the drop of a hat. In any case, Australia, being one to suckle on all things American, seems to now have inherited this overly politically correct stance on things.

Its mostly not Jewish people, its Muslims:

This is an Australian case. The only people you can blame for "too much political correctness" are yourselves, you voted in the goverment, who controls these things so I believe its your own fault.

Not true.

a) Australia is an incredibly difficult continent to invade simply due to our sheer size.

b) The Japanese never had any intention of invading Australia. After they had secured Port Moresby (mainly for defensive reasons) they planned on heading west through India etc.

I thought it was more artistic from a marketing and advertising point of view rather than a classically artistic POV.

Anyway, in a lot of cases we are WORSE OFF than America. Free speech tends to keep a few avenue's open for American's that we don't have available to us.

i remember a holden ad for the ute where the guy was doing wheelies in the dirt

Yeah they had to take that one off of the air due to the police taking it literally :)

As others have said, govt BS....imagine if the govt spent the time they spend on banning crap like this because it "encourages hoon driving" and spent it on practical ways of reducing the road toll...

so did you hear that the minister for internets is now looking at getting sites that discuss games rated unsuitable for australia put on the internet filter?

Why is it they put stupid people in charge of things they do not know anything about. On something different (ad's) have you seen the ad with the kids playing in a cardboard box ? At the bottom of the screen it says "Children filmed under constant supervision" I mean WTF its a box...Anyways

Australia is f*cking out of control...jesus ,whats next ffs !

I still find it hard to believe that these idiot politicians actually believe that by banning ads like these are actually going to make a positive difference to reducing the road toll,or "hoon" behaviour.

Trouble is when it comes time to vote...who do we vote for ? ...they are ALL f*ckwits .

decisions,decisions.

I think the general view is that people are idiots. We can't make up our own minds on anything so the government says well we'll make up their minds for them. Like trying to ban computer games because of violence and the influence this has on little kids. HELLO!! it's MA15 for a reason. The parents should say no you cannot play this game you arent 15. But they dont and then they whinge and moan that something needs to be done so the government does something. Same for these ads. The ute ad for the dunnydore ute was pulled because of depicting dangerous driving i.e circle work. It's generally not the general populace that complains its the elderly generation. No offence to the elderly.

I'll be quiet now.

"Hoons" have been doing wheel spinning since long before this ad ever came along. And they will continue to do wheel spins long after the ad has faded away.

Some people need to get a life.

Really??? Wow. I didn't realise that. I thought that if it was taken of the telly that it wouldn't happen in real life. How silly do I look now.

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      The r34 gearbox is like $3400/3700 landed from Japan sometime last year.   Contact jessestreeter.com for info and quotes. From memory the navara gearbox needs input shaft machined down as I looked into a while back and there's a thread somewhere here from 2018-2021 about it. Depends on what your doing with the car maybe worth the dollars to go cd009 or a 8hp50/70.

      VCAM doesn't really increase peak power, it just widens the powerband. So if you were giving up power with adjustable cam gears to get better low-end response yes in theory it "increases power" but otherwise not really. Stroker kit might put you in a more efficient region of the compressor map which will get you more power but at say 7000 rpm I'm not sure that much will change. The original HKS GT2530, -5s, and GTX2860R gen 2 are all roughly the same kind of turbo. If you want 600 horsepower those are the turbos you need. So 500 whp. Just expect to spend some quality time trying to figure out intake/exhaust piping. The "twin turbo" pipe is an obvious place to start. Make sure the actuator preload and all of that fun boring stuff is set up correctly. Throw a VCAM step 2 at it if you want good response, 2.8L stroker too. If you're not actually wedded to 500 whp all the time you can barely get there with -7s or Nismo R3 turbos, you just have to run E85 or race gas and run them hard:
