i used to live there, couple years ago i think?

driveway used to be gravel back then :(

This driveway as gravel would suck so hard! :-\ The bottom entrance is still gravel, and blocked off by angry builders most of the time.

jaja, only the first few meters from the top were done in concrete. But me having the legacy never had an issue being AWD; FWD and RWD used to get out with a bit of burnouts lol. Oh and i might've slipped few times from top cause of black ice in winter lol

Haha oh god, the ice up here huh. The bottom driveway is paved and gets f*ckall sun in the winter, just frost on top of frost. My poor Legacy had the meanest slide down there one day before the snow tyres :-X Pretty decent location though, just a pity about some of the feral residents here ;D

I had this a while ago, i received a letter from customs telling me I owe them gst plus alot of BS fees, if you havent received your letter yet then ring new zealand post or customs and quote your tracking number and they will sort you out.

Got a mate over there at the moment buying every part under the sun for people, and sending them back here as "gifts", working out pretty cheap in some cases as I think it avoids GST etc?

Slightly dodge really but he's picking up some disgustingly cheap bits of ebay that people otherwise wouldn't be able to get sent here

Nope you will find that it make sno difference as to if it is a "gift" or not, mainly comes down to the cost of the said item

The only way of getting around customs if you're importing something of high value is to buy it online, ship it to a friend in the states or wherever you bought it and get them to forward it on to you and label it as not being worth much. I did that with clothes and shoes, about $650 worth and mate wrote that it was only worth $150. Straight through no worries.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
