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

i think what shes getting at is that a lot of other people who dig cars in general might not necessarily have internet or even know that said forum exists :D

not everyone has google-fu (it pros excluded heh)

-D

I'm a IT Sys/Network Admin and I own a 32 GTR :thumbsup:

Wow, sounds like an AA meeting confession or something .. haha ..

Yeah, there's a guy down at my local service station who has mentioned he has a modified skyline, we've chatted about cars some. When I've mentioned SAU, he doesn't seem to have much interest; I got the impression he didn't really use the web (more into cars than playing around on those silly computers..)

As much as computers/internet is definitely more mainstream than it used to be, lots of people still don't really use it.

(Makes me feel real old to consider I've been online for over 15 years..)

True that. To be honest it can go the other way. Alot of my friends who are true mechinics, wouldn't even know what a forum is. I guess there real country boys though... Where a phone line is a privilage... Speaking of computers, I'm at work now and should be doing some :D Just needed to release some Skyline chat :thumbsup: Off topic, any good place in Adelaide to get some second hand panels for my R33? Completely smashed up the front Monday... Need a aftermarket bumper to.

wow has this thread being changed to "lets see who in IT has a wicked car"????? oh and btw IT support and i own a r33 track p1g :thumbsup:......

oh and adam how the f**k do you own 2 r33's and getting a GTR soon??? man i wish i could get enough $$$ for a GTR....but paying off a house loan doesnt help :D

Not having a house loan and having a Dad who is car mad really helps :D

That’s why I plan to live it up while I can Krishy!

f**k that, you can do both

If I can make enough money :thumbsup: I would hate to have to sell my GTR (when I have one that is!) :(

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.

Any idea how they compare with Adam?

The fact that they do a home line bundle is appealing.

I put my landline number in & it told me that my area (St Marys) supports Broadband 1 up to 8000k

Heres a question for you FROM an I.T professional (just to answer a question with a question)... How do you find Adam. We tend to deal with iinet and internode... Definitely the industry standard (apart from telstra if you really really REALLY rich). I can't say I personally would be able to give you an opinion, apart from the fact that your not going to really notice any speed change. At the end of the day, the limiting factor is how far away you live from the exchange. Internode however, tend to offer better support. I look at different deals all the time, and my opinion changes daily. My recommendation is to go with internode on a non-contracted plan... Capping on internet is not going to last much longer after all :thumbsup:

that would be using a telstra leased exchange

put your phone number in here for internode - https://secure.internode.on.net/webtools/in...ode-dsl-finder/

if you're lucky you'll be in an exchange that has internodes own adsl2+ exchanges

won't get as much data as iinet but the service and the network speed has to be experienced to be believed

adam are good too - just not quite as good as node. they have good customer service, their network isn't quite as good as nodes tho

    • I do believe from context he is talking about a S0/S1 R33 RB25 with associated ECU and Wiring for that, and a manual gearbox into a R34 N/A Auto. I don't have the knowledge of all the pinouts and such but my gut feeling from doing my own conversion is to use as much of the R33 stuff that you can. The "car" wiring is quite seperate from the "Engine" wiring when all things are considered. The only things to truly consider 99% of the time is the cluster, reverse lights and potentially disabling the 'not in P/N' immobilizer circuit.
    • A realistic expectattion of how long it has to last also comes down to.... when do you think you will be banned from registering and driving old petrol powered shitters? It's 27 years since that thing was built. It probably rusted out 15 years ago. It was probably repaired and looked OK for another 10. If you do a similarish bodge job now, or perhaps slightly better with some actual rust conversion and glassing, then.... get another 10-15 years out of it, after which you'll only be permitted by the CCP to drive electric cars manufactured in their Shenzen zone anyway. 
    • Let me assume that the concern over a manual ECU is that the NeoDET that you have was an auto and has an auto ECU. That ECU will not be a problem, but you WILL have to Nistune it. And you would have to Nistune it even if you had a manual ECU, because the turbo ECUs will shit the bed if they do not have all the things that they were told they have to have, to be happy. The big one being the TCS CU, which you won't have in your car. Anyway, with an auto ECU (which I have running my originally auto NeoDET in an R32) Nistune allows you to put in a Stagea image which doesn't panic about the absent TCS, and allows you to override a whle bunch of other annoyances that would otherwise see the check engine light on 100% of the time. Also, you can't wind up the power very far on the stock NeoDET ECUs without Nistune, because the boost sensor gets in the way. Nistune allows you to push that problem much further up the dial. Do you even have the boost sensor with the engine? Without it, you are SOL and will need an aftermarket ECU (or to find a sensor somewhere, god knows where). I can't tell you what the wiring loom differences are in a 34. But what Duncan said above needs to be considered. When you say "loom", does that include the transmission loom? Because you will need to swap out the auto tranny loom for the equivalent manual loom, and get rid of the neutral/park start interlock (basically hot wire it).
    • I have had the r3c in for years now, maybe close to 7 years and it has never missed a beat, anyone can drive it. Super easy to drive around town, the hotter it gets does get a little hard but it holds the power easy as 
    • Shit thing to find eh? I guess the big issue is that whatever "fix" you do now, it might slow the rust down but won't fix it. I just wanted to add that in no way is fixing sheet metal in 3 dimensions the place to start with welding....that is a pro only job because its too hard to work out where things should be, let alone doing a clean enough job that it can look OK and still be strong too.  I needed to get a new rear quarter panel on the GTR and it took a pro weeks to get the old one off cleanly, new one on in the right place and looking somewhat like it should have with most of the previous connecting panels in place. Gluing a couple of bits of metal together with a welder in the garage is doable, but that is totally different to doing panel  replacement
