All you have to do is buy a copy on US Ebay and have it shipped here .... too easy. Or better yet, the gay classification (or lack thereof) makes it almost legitimate for us to pirate/torrent the game

u live next door to the exchange?

He doesn't but I do, about 50m away.

Sure do get ridiculous speeds. With my cap I can do about 110gig on my 40gig plan, 70 of those gigs in the time the server realises Im over my limit and caps me.

Telstra do have more bandwidth than Internode BUT they have to share it amongst a hell of a lot more noob users (mums, dads, grandma's grandpa's etc whom think because its telstra it must be better).

This results in less available bandwidth per head than Internode offers.

GA has faster file servers for your self because you are with GA. If you can't suck off internodes file servers at full speed then the problem is the link between internode and GA.

The only thing Bigpong has going for it is cable, thats if your one of the luck 1% who are able to get it. :(

I'm all for Internode as they come across to myself as an enthuiasts ISP who has a pashion for developing/improving broadband in Australia. Annex-M is a prime example. Tesltra.. They were trying to cripple Aus.

Another thing I like. Simon the owner of Internode participates on Whirlpool and lets every one know whats going on. :P

I guess that makes me a fanboi! :P lmao

I'd rather be sharing with noobs and grandpas. You know why? Because less people would be Torrenting/Dling, which chews up bandwidth hardcore!

The problem is its the kids that do all the torrenting etc.. So not completely true.

I know lots of noobs (whom I do regular computer upgrades, computer repairs etc) and its their kids that use emule, piolet and torrents and the worse thing, piolet for example defaults to boot when the system starts, so constantly sucking bandwidth.

In the US. Who do you hear of being pinched for dloading music etc.. Teens living at home with their parents.

Telstra is expensive. Unless your on cable *even then its debatable* one would be silly to stick with them.

If all goes as planned I will be moving ~500m away from the exchange down at Moana. :P

So ADSL2+ 24mbit here I come. :(

For those wishing to see the location of their phone exchange....

Telstra's unlimited plan on cable....

Unlimited referring to either :

a) the 10 gig limit

b) the uploads counting as downloads

Sounds like a great deal to me...:P

uploads only mater if they count if your a leech monkey 80% of my monthly downloads come from GA game demos movie trailers patches and general forum stuff

good to hear leeman

I use my upstream for remote desktop, email and web server and the occasional p2p on a private site.

I hardly use p2p, maybe 1 or 2GB per month if that. Doing my general bits and pieces I use ~15gb per month. I'm not really in to game demo's, movie trailers etc. I have been dloading quite a few linux distro's of late though. Linux is still very clunky for an everyday os, great for a server though.

Either way.. Internode ROXORS!! BIGPONG SUXORS!!! :(

I should also mention Internode peer with youtube, microsoft, google and a shit load of other places. So speeds are as quick and reliable as technically possible.

Unsure exactly who Telstra peers with as they don't tell anyone. :P

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.

      Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.

      Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?

      1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
