Yes. Even though it's been there.. well, see sig. It was supposedly done today. They said they'd call today. They didn't, I tried to call them, number disconnected. Lols were had at my expense at work where this epic car delay is now quite epically known. Would like to be able to be in touch with them, failing that I guess I'll have to just go down there and uh, ....look for wherever they moved to?

Anyone got the new number/location for RE Customs? Or an alternate number for them other than their main one?

There's definitely an issue there, 106KB/Sec isnt dialup speeds (dialup is like, 5k/sec), and it isnt capped speeds either. Not sure what telstra capped speed is, but if it was 106kb/sec after you hit quota I am absolutely sure everyone would instantly switch to Telstra. I don't think dropped packets would cause download speeds of 106, if he's usually getting 1000.. he'd be dropping 90% of all packets, and you'd definitely notice issues other than speed if dropping 90% of packets Do the ping though, see what the response times are, but even if they are massively delayed it still doesn't mean that the download speed should be so slow. Only one who is going to actually be able to do anything is your ISP, I'd give them a call as they are the ones who can actually see what is happening.

I'm not aware of anyone who does shift kits for a R34 in Victoria, I had mine done by MV autos in South Australia. They seem to be widely regarded as the (only?) place to go to for R34/Stagea boxes. As for the daily thing, I went with a sedan. 20KG extra weight is well worth the 2 extra doors. A lot of people have the auto and wish they had a manual... Throwing it in D to me is also a lovely option to have when you simply CBF or drive it in traffic that I am sure manual drivers wish they had sometimes. (maybe not much of an issue in Mildura). The Stage 2 Shift kit from MV shifts a lot better than I can in a manual, thats for sure. It's pretty much mandatory equipment if you have a semi-auto.

I live in hawthorn Apparently this must be a high risk area!

I wish Quiznos was back.

I think he's saying he'd rather pay for a 1000hp track machine than a Veyron, and enjoy the cash. I'd agree. I think the Veyron is the pinnacle of waste of money, and isn't even very good at anything other than what it was designed to do (i.e, have a 400kmh top speed). What good is 400kmh top speed being road legal, when there is no road to legally do it on. (sans germany). And even then, I'd imagine there are far more entertaining cars to get to ~300 on a street.. I wonder if anyone has hit 400kmh on the autobahn anyway, to validate the "but its street legal!1111" argument.

For what its worth, I just got quoted $1750 for my R34 for Just Cars.. (online) I have no accident history and I'm 30.. not really sure how you got quoted $71 a month, lol. I think I'll be giving them a phone call..

... and it looks horrific. Probably drives 'nicely' though ;p

Anything under a year would be epic response time for me. /troll

Well hey at least he hasn't mentioned that 3.5 Magna with the cat b... Damnit! Valid points though.. People do need to realise that if it's P plate legal, it's P plate legal for a reason, and that reason is that it's slow.

If you must have a sedan..get an evo

If he's happy to Dyno a ride on lawnmower, I doubt you'd get much rage at a FTO

Guess I'll wait and hear them say that, though I did say it probably wont work.. I guess this car is either going to be sent interstate or have someone from interstate come and look at it, coming down this way anytime soon Dan?

This is going to be the ultimate plan. Currently workshops in Vic are wondering whether or not NISTune can be applied to the NA ECU and keep the wiring like that. I'm not optimistic, but given the fact MV are out of the country for a month, I guess I'll wait and see how that goes as I can't get it shipped there anyway. I did suggest the "Just wire it up and pretend it's a GTT gearbox and use the GTT Gearbox, GTT ECU, GTT Wiring and it should be OK" but coming from Mr Laymans terms, I don't really think anyone wants to listen to me, and tbh when you have an uninitiated customer telling experienced mechanics what to do, I guess its understandable. If they get it working their way, I quite frankly don't give two shits how. I do agree, but I was told this should work, and got a shift kit installed, paid for, and had the trans shipped to and back to a different state under that impression that it'd work fine. I just don't feel like dropping 3-4K on a manual conversion when I really shouldn't need to from a customer point of view. I've bought another car in the interim as a daily to replace this daily (lol) so I'm not entirely crippled. I guess word of warning if you want to do something like this in Victoria, is don't unless you can do it yourself.

The above is probably more epic fail than 22's on a 33, or 20's on a 34. Goes to show money can't buy taste

Haven't played WoW since BC came out.. is there anything new and exciting and majorly different that warrants looking into this (and WoTLK )

I just did some maths, it seems this car has been in a workshop for 92% of the time I've owned it. And in the last year, this daily has done 0kms! Luckily with that much driving, it was comprehensively insured and registered the entire time! Boy, I love my automobile!

Daily. Spent a ton on a shift kit from MV autos. I generally like the ability to just put it in D when I just want to get around town. Its an option but f**k me its an expensive one especially if it's not necessary

Then save the money and buy a flat out stupidly modified GTST i.e, smart people capitalize on other peoples money pits

RB25DET Neo into R34 N/A Auto. (QQ thread in Transmission area)

This is potentially becoming a 'solution'. I called MV autos and they said that their shift kit should (love that term) work fine on a GTT Auto box. Like said before, apparently electrically the box is the same, so I 'shouldn't' need to actually get a GTT box to make it work. Another option is sending the car interstate, but at this point the costs are getting rather astronomical. Unfortunately not being technical it means that someone giving me instructions isn't going to work so well, I'd need something so mind numblingly step by step I'd have to pass on to someone who is handy with wiring, skylines, and this specific transmission. Which I'm happy to call, find out, pay for, it just seems this person doesn't exist. Do not attempt, I guess, is the point here, lol.

Don't do this conversion. It will (one day) end in tears. Unavoidable tears. Tears that will result in regretting you ever doing this.

Well, today marks the 1 year anniversary my car disappeared into a workshop. I should go there and bring it a cake, or something. Actually, that'd be a really funny way of making a point, lol. Anyone know of any shop that knows their way around R34 Triptronic wiring setups Have tried/Enquired at: RE Customs Status Sabbadin Chasers Racepace Knox Automatics Dr.Drift (going to call the last couple in the sticky today) May have to send the car to MV Autos in South Australia on a truck. Any info that leads to this getting fixed will be rewarded with a carton of a beer of your choice and/or equivalent spirit.
