Has served me well in the 6 months that I've had it... Panasonic P505iS: 1.3 megapixel, 20x digital zoom, 64 meg Mini SD memory card, 3 mins total video rec time, and last but not least... a barcode reader (?)

Damnit, we Aussies miss out on all the good stuff!
Actually, I think Australia is lagging behind Japan about 1 year or so when it comes to mobile phones.

On another note, I saw that Plasma TVs and LCD flat panel TVs were almost as common in Australia as Japan... REALLY suprising... (exept in Japan the flatscreen CRT TV is almost dead, whereas in Australia thet still had a good selection).

Australia is not too bad as far as mobile tech goes: sure, we can't touch Japan, but at least we are not in the pre-historic ages like the US :rofl:

funkymonkey: helps that the major producers of LCD panels are Korean of course *cough* LG *cough* Samsung.

Anyway its amazing what a differance a year makes in the mobile phone market...

Not so sure about the TV tuner one, not if you're in Yamanashi - you can only receive 2 channels clearly! :P

Watching TV and then taking a few calls would just about run the battery down too...

there's decent stuff out there, but not many resellers in Australia wanna seem to wanna get stuff from there. orange has sorta brushed the surface, but manufacturers like LG, Hitachi and Sanyo n Samsung all have AWESOME phons for the 3G networks, its a shame the 3G infrastructure in aus is still in its infancy. Once 3G kicks off full shwing then we'll kick Japan's ass.

Japans adavanced phone system was due to it pioneering telecomms department in govt. Wheras here we had telstra with a stranfglehold on what can and cannot be done. With telstra fully privatised that should be a thing of the past and new exciting stuff should be available soon.

I don't think Japan has anything to be jealous about when it comes to mobile phone services in other countries. Cheap phones, continuous new products, great service, never a problem, excellent coverage and getting better FAST, fair charges...do I need to go on? In fact the only thing that you can't do here in Japan compared to overseas is use the same number if you change service. They are working on this and it should be available in the next few years...

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      What can't be done with a little bit of decking board or similar timber bolted to a hub flange via 2 wheel nuts is not worth talking about.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By silviaz · Posted

      I noticed something. On the tps sensor and the sensor behind the adjustment screw is adjusted towards the far left. Are these screws supposed to be centered? (this sensor was in the same position before the tune as well)  Also attached a photo of where my car usually idles at when warm (sometimes a tiny bit above that). I think I might have screwed up the calculation and it might have better than I thought lol at 750rpm still not 650rpm though.

      So for both general interest of engine health, and to rule out any coolant/oil issues, I organised an oil analysis done on the 125,000klm oil Results below, all good, just a bit of fuel dilution which I'm not too worried about

      This is actually a really good way of measuring what wheels fit. If only there was a similar measurement between hub face and suspension :p That said, it's probably pretty simple to actually measure it all with the wheel off the car for the rear. The front is a bit more complex but..

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By AdiR34 · Posted

      Being the top Google search result for R34 wheel-related inquiries, lemme throw down my experience. I calculated that 100mm from hub face to wheel face is about the perfect fitment for my ENR34 sedan.  I've been running 18x8.5s, ET35, with a 1" spacer. So, 8.5in to mm = 216mm. 216/2 = 108mm. 108-35 = 73mm. 73+ 25 (1" to mm) = 98mm.  If you wanna get close to this on dif widths, here are the offsets you'll want: 9" - ET around 15mm 9.5" - ET around 20mm 10" - you're crazy, but ET around 30mm All these should fit perfectly on a non-widebody, non-GTR Skyline. Note that it's probably the absolute max, and you're probably better off running a couple degrees of camber in this config, but it looks great, super flush.
