"The Victorian government on Monday announced that householders in the capital would be able to hand-water gardens at any time and wash cars at home when water restrictions are eased to stage 2 for the first time in four years......

.....The restrictions will be eased from level 3a to level 2 from September 1 following heavy rains and water storage levels rising to almost 40 per cent, their highest level in almost three years."

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah.

Nothing like an election coming up to get the sweeteners going, ah well, dumb bogans will still vote for them.

And WTF are they doing. 39.9% is not full, so it is rather irresponsible to lighten restrictions going into spring/summer...

Gah! Why would they ease water restrictions when we are still under 50%? Keeping them strict isn't too hard and it's helping fill the dams. If we go back to dry now then it's just going to damage the supply even more >_< The drought isn't over yet, no offence but I think the water would be more useful going on our crops and flora/fauna, rather than on our cars. Other than that hooray for more water, haven't seen this much at my fams property in over 10 years :D

Agreed. 100%

I love washing my car but this is so stupid. Haven't they learnt anything from the droughts? What's wrong with continuing to save our water until we're atleast above 50%?! We've survived this long without watering shit and using grey water for the cars. The farmers would be pissed, and rightfully so.

i 2nd that

if we start washing cars etc from home, water use will go up and we are approaching summer so not such a good idea to lower the restrictions n like said were not above 50% yet

so keep saving the water guys

They are citing the new north-south pipeline and the F*****N extremely environmentally unfriendly desalination plant as the driving forces to allow the easing of restrictions.

As for me, I wash my car with a hose, water my garden, and water my lawn whenever I want - from my rainwater tank.

      Everyone is too used to learning from places like HPA "how to tune" and what to expect at what point, rather than being able to see "The computer says I'm in cell with Row = 8, column =4, and I can see my fuel is lean, so lets add more" Everyone wants "real units", which helps for someone picking it up for the first time and seeing how bad the tune is if they're not used to touching it.   However, I think for most of us who want to play with it, you're 100% right, we're only needing to learn about it for OUR CAR. Which makes it great, and we don't need to care what the real values are, we just need to know which cell it is, that's causing the lean or rich point, or that we want more ignition timing or less. But again, everyone wants everything super you beaut and nearly self tuning, with VE maps, and a billion compensations...   Though then there's me over here when I'm doing reverse engineering work just reading data in hex format that most people couldn't work anything out from. Yet I can see what's going on.

      Um. No. Since Matt introduced the TIM it has become a lot easier to deal with the consequences of changing K for AFM and injector swaps. Then, tuning is a f**king doddle. No-one needs to know or care how many grams of air are flowing or any other bullshit. Need more fuel in a cell? Add more fuel. Need more timing in a cell. Add more timing. Need to adjust any of the other tables for warm up and so on? No harder than anything else. Sure - it's not an ECU system for starting from scratch on an arbitrary engine. But then.....it was never supposed to be, not recommended for, and almost never used that way. So.... On your engine, in particular, Nistune/Nissan OEM is about as sophisticated and difficult as banging 2 rocks together. Those ECUs are primitive and simple. There is nothing difficult there. I learnt Nistune from scratch, created new maps with extended axes, interpolated/extrapolated the original maps onto them and tuned my RB20 (basically the same ECU as your 26 ECU) all by myself, more than 20 years ago. And that was long before even TIM.
