So seems the PS3 finally got jailbroken. Quite ingenious too, a USB dongle that tricks the console into thinking it's a dev unit hence running unsigned code. Whoever thought of that is gonna be one rich guy!

"The good news for jailbreakers is the software the jailbreak runs stops Sony from pushing a system update." - pity I've already updated that stupid patch where it removes "Other OS"...

ugh. got a 360s to replace my dead and gone 360, and ive spent perhaps 3 hours on the line with xbox customer support telling me that i should be able to connect with no problems, and saying that if im having issues, its with my isp.

so ive spent about the same amount of time on the phone with my isp and stuffing around with my router settings and its all come up apples, everythings working as it should.

just finished another call with xbox support, and theyve advised me to get a replacement console...

... honestly, ive owned it for less than 24 hours, that seems a bit retarded.

and fixed.

new xbox's are finnicky bastards. had to disable my MAC filtering and my security, searched for networks again, and connected straight away.

at what cost though?

and what's the performance like?

For me, I'm actually saving $15/mo on what I was getting previously (and then I was only getting 150gb/mo).

Main differences from my old plan:

i) Uploads & downloads are counted as 'usage'

ii) Split of the 1TB between 500GB peak/500GB off-peak

However, I did the math and even if I max. my outbound the entire month, that's less then 150gb/mo... and ultimately, I'm still saving $15/mo for more downloads - so it's hard to go wrong.

As for performance - it's iinet, their network is one of the best in the country. Hasn't changed from my old plan.

As per http://www.iinet.net.au/broadband/plans.html & http://www.iinet.net.au/business/broadband/plans.html

For residential users, $129.90 - which includes cutting your regular phone line across to iinet (which will probably save you money anyway).

For business users, $165.90 with the above phone line proviso. As a note, naked dsl plans don't have a 1TB option as yet.

Even their lower down plans are pretty decent for one of the better quality ISPs (in terms of service, support, and their network infrastructure). I tend to recommend people stick with iinet/internode if they can. There are definitely cheaper ISP options out there (think TPG), but they have a poor history in Australia for their network, service, quality, etc.

There is always something about people who own Skylines that attracts I.T. Im an I.T engineer, and I have r33... Valid point? haha. I think the skyline brings out a little geek in everyone :blink:

youll find a lot of IT people here, this is true.... common job ;P

-D

Also consider you're going to get a bias of IT people on here given it's an online forum ...

I do find it interesting to see the sheer mix of IT people though - their different skill-sets, roles, etc.

Hardly bias... You don't have to be I.T savy to know how to write on a forum these days... In fact, you have to be just plain retarded not to know. :thumbsup: haha

    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
