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.

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

    • The values for HID colour are also defined ~ see https://www.legislation.gov.au/F2006L02732/latest/text  ~ goto section 3.9 onwards ....
    • So, if the headlights' cutoff behaviour (angles, heights, etc) are not as per 6.2.6.1.1 without automatic levelling, then you have to have to have automatic** levelling. Also, if the headlight does not have the required markings, then neither automatic nor manual adjusters are going to be acceptable. That's because the base headlight itself does not meet the minimum requirement (which is the marking). ** with the option of manual levelling, if the headlight otherwise meets the same requirements as for the automatic case AND can be set to the "base" alignment at the headlight itself. So that's an additional requirement for the manual case. So, provided that the marking is on the headlight and there is a local manual adjustment back to "base" on the headlight, then yes, you could argue that they are code compliant. But if you are missing any single one of these things, then they are not. And unlike certain other standards that I work with, there does not seem to be scope to prepare a "fitness for purpose" report. Well, I guess there actually is. You might engage an automotive engineer to write a report stating that the lights meet the performance requirements of the standard even if they are missing, for example, the markings.  
    • Vertical orientation   6.2.6.1.1. The initial downward inclination of the cut off of the dipped-beam to be set in the unladen vehicle state with one person in the driver's seat shall be specified within an accuracy of 0.1 per cent by the manufacturer and indicated in a clearly legible and indelible manner on each vehicle close to either headlamp or the manufacturer's plate by the symbol shown in Annex 7.   The value of this indicated downward inclination shall be defined in accordance with paragraph 6.2.6.1.2.   6.2.6.1.2. Depending on the mounting height in metres (h) of the lower edge of the apparent surface in the direction of the reference axis of the dipped beam headlamp, measured on the unladen vehicles, the vertical inclination of the cut off of the dipped- beam shall, under all the static conditions of Annex 5, remain between the following limits and the initial aiming shall have the following values:   h < 0.8   Limits: between 0.5 per cent and 2.5 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.0 per cent and 1.5 per cent   0.8 < h < 1.0   Limits: between 0.5 per cent and 2.5 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.0 per cent and 1.5 per cent   Or, at the discretion of the manufacturer,   Limits: between 1.0 per cent and 3.0 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.5 per cent and 2.0 per cent   The application for the vehicle type approval shall, in this case, contain information as to which of the two alternatives is to be used.   h > 1.0   Limits: between 1.0 per cent and 3.0 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.5 per cent and 2.0 per cent   The above limits and the initial aiming values are summarized in the diagram below.   For category N3G (off-road) vehicles where the headlamps exceed a height of 1,200 mm, the limits for the vertical inclination of the cut-off shall be between: -1.5 per cent and -3.5 per cent.   The initial aim shall be set between: -2 per cent and -2.5 per cent.
