Regardless he's not handling it like a man so its time to improvise. Not everything turns out the way it should. I think he's just completely freaking out. People/kids do strange things in times of stress.

Its a fairly big thing for a bloke to be having a child. It freaks them out quite a bit especially if they are young. He will be up and down. Maybe start taking another approach. Take a step back, don't be angry, give him some space/time without harassment once he sees the baby his instinct should take over. Hopefully. :S

Trident.. Get some cams in to it. I was able to push in a heap more ignition following the cams. Unless your running the .6 rear I forget.

Grim, I've been watching various comments over the last few months. You've done well to put up with it for this long.

RB25 FMFW. The RB25 turbo runs the larger compressor. The VG30 runs the rb20 compressor but with the larger r34 GTT turbine and usual r33/r34 rb25 compressor housing. So.... If you can.. Drop the VG30 turbine housing on the RB25 turbo and you have the a R34 GTT turbo which makes the most power out of all.

bloody nora.. 40 cars.. Going to be a long day for Shaun.

ADSL2+ Standard. Then tweak the modem depending on your distance from the exchange via coding gain and the connect mode.

Ignorance is bliss. All bets you are on the ADSL2+ Very High Reliability Profile and haven't changed it since day one. Double check to ensure all devices connected to your phone line are filtered. The modem doesn't require a filter. Run a <3m telephone cable.

The speed tests are a reasonable indicator but the best method is to download a file from your ISPs mirror. Represents the speed of your actual connection not the jumps and hops between your ISP and the destination.

The ping will vary - 2ms is nothing. Distance from the exchange. My own service connects at a slower speed when connecting with ADSL2+ compared to ADSL1. However connecting as plain old ADSL2 (without the +) it connects at its fastest. What you need to do if your modem supports it is place your self on an ADSL2+ standard type profile that aims for an SNR of around 9-10 and then force the modem to connect 'only' in ADSL2 mode. Doing so will generally provide the quickest connection at a longer line length. LAN limited WOOT

Typically running a line profile that aims to provide increased 'bandwidth' will target a lower SNR ~6db and increase interleaving that will increase ping/latency. Depending on the ISP profiles can be configured any way they feel fit. Typically there's 2 area's to consider. + the technology.. ADSL1 and ADSL2+ Interleaving and SNR target. SNR target determines the speed. The Interleaving determines the stability/reliability to some extent. As you know increasing interleaving increases ping/latency. Low SNR with no latency is the ultimate but only if you are close to the exchange, no bridge taps, internal wiring is spot on and no interference. The Recommended profile appears to be an ADSL1 based profile. If you experience dropouts with an ADSL2+ profile this is due to interference within the frequency range ADSL2+ uses. ADSL2/2+ uses a greater range of the available frequency to obtain the faster speeds over adsl1. By you selecting the ADSL1 profile you are not using the frequency that suffers interference as a result your connection is stable. Not much you can do about it apart from making sure your internal wiring is spot on and a central splitter is fitted. I've found longer distances you can squeeze a little more out of your connection by locking it down to ADSL2 only mode (not 2+). 2+ doesn't work too well on long lines.

Unfortunately Naked Extreme doesn't do a great deal for latency. The only benefit is if you are extremely far from the exchange you can utilise Annex L.

Definitely. I was a little misleading stating consumed when in fact it was being caught in the filter as slight sludge. The motor has been rebuilt, always had regular oil changes. I can't comment on the bottom end but the top end and cam covers are super clean inside.

Its super expensive and not feasible for a small group of customers that pay $39.95 per month for their adsl and call twice a month because their wireless has dropped out or their crap norton/mcafee antivirus has begun preventing them from sending emails. 1. The copper network/backhaul was rolled out via tax payers money. Telstra 'and' the copper network was then sold off at a price that was simply too cheap. Overseas similar has occurred eventually the government has purchased back the copper network. Telstra is anticompetitive but hell any company with a monopoly would do the same. Its huge bucks to lay fibre optic to an exchange for what.. a small group of customers that pay bugger all per month. However there is another company that layed fibre optic to 'some' exchanges when supplying power around the place. They charge a reasonable price which has allowed those 'aforementioned' companies to offer ADSL2+ to customers. Delivering ADSL2+ via telstra's backhaul is not feasible; they charge through the nose. 2. Then there's the so RIM's they were rolled out simply for cost reasons of which prevents ADSL2+ being delivered via a rivals DSLAM. As a result the customer is stuck on a Telstra's ADSL1 port. .. SLED.. Pings - In this instance it depends on interleaving/error correction placed on he line. Typically higher speed profiles that push the usable spectrum to the limit employ greater error correction/interleaving as a result pings increase. An ADSL line profile essentially employs a given interleaving and target SNR.

Duncan did you notice if they pad locked it? Here in Adelaide all the E85 pumps are pad locked. Will be re-tuning soon.

As your on a resold telstra port - If speeds drop to 300kb/s thats Helstra capping the speeds as they do not have enough backhaul from the exchange. Often what occurs is they cap speeds due to congestion and then book an upgrade 2-3months in advance. BUT.. Sometimes the customers are not that lucky and they are stuck with 300kb/s. Usually those on a rim experience these issues. I'd be interested if Telstra also cap their own customers at the same exchange. I know they sure as hell cap their wholesale customers.

Sucks being 4.7km's from the exchange. Syncs at 5.4mb down and 1mb up on the HS profile which introduces a little latency but meh. I'll grab a speed test from work tomorrow of which is limited by the LAN

Mine made 302rwkw @ 17psi with the std log and GT3076r .82 with 265 8.9mm lift cams. Can't run any more boost due to the internal flapper blowing open. Two others on the same dyno but with a GT35r .82 both internal gate and with cams. One cracked 330rwkw on 20 or 22psi with 265 9.3mm lift cams the other 18psi 312rwkw but he had smaller 260duration cams. All on pump 98ron fuel and all are running an RB30det with the r32 rb25de head. With WMI or 100+ron fuel no doubt it will be a different story. I have E85 down the road so first up going to fit a stiffer actuator and then retune on pump; Then throw larger injectors at it and push in some E85 to see what the lowly GT3076r can do. However I have been told its a bad thing to be too restrictive (push the limits of the hot side too much) as you can induce a little valve float on the exhaust side and if pushed out at the track you may end up dropping a valve. Likely not to be evident on the dyno but once things all heat up top end power will be down and pop. The GT3076 is only really good for 320rwkw on pump so it 'might' make the power a little easier with the extrude honed log. I would be interested to see the GT35r .82 on the extrude honed exh. manifold.

Could be a freak.. I knew of a stocko R33 on a dyno day where stock ecu fmic, exhaust and 11psi it was pushing 200rwkw. Another jumped on same mods 180rwkw.

The RB30 is a forklift motor so that probably explains a bit. I did not split the oil filter open with the castrol 5w30 but with the shell 5w40 i found little lumps of what looked like grease. I then ran Motul.. no sludge in the filter. I switched between oils a few times. Everytime the shell stuff deposited sludgy lumps in to the filter. Maybe thats where the 5w40 Shell was burning/sludging off too

The average skyline isn't driven grandma style. The grpiii based oils I have tried all have been consumed slightly by the motor. The grpiv oils however not a drop.

$1050 for a twin plate.. WTF to put it politely. I might see what I can scrape together.

Its more the point of why buy a crap so called 'synthetic' grpIII oil when for the same price u can get another brand that is based on the 'better' grpiv. I run the Motul 5w40 for $59. Beats the crap out of the Castrol 5w30 and Shell 5w40 of which are grp3 based and strangely my motor appears to use a little oil each change at 5k. The Motul 5w40 or Mobil 5w50 it doesn't use a drop. Interestingly they are both grpiv oils.

Damn good effort. What tyres/brakes you running? Ahh I see .. Your running slicks.. lol

You could and it would be fine. However at this point in time, if I were to do it again I would restrict both down to 1.5mm and run a nice catch can setup that drains to the sump. The drain to the sump also works to vent the bottom end as a result the oil is able to flow from the head back to the bottom end considerably easier. All though mine has had no issues the top end is noticeably noisier since performing the oil restriction mod on first start up when cold.
