tryin to get adsl beast?

Yeah man, @#$stra wont upgrade our RIM so we're stuck on dialup.

Only hope now is to move, or might be able to get ADSL2+ when the exchange

is upgraded by the new OPEL venture.

I'm after the specific details of my phone line, to see if they've been yankin

my chain.

Can anyone help?

a little while ago warners bay had the same problem. untill a "freak of natute" caused a tree to fall on the RIM.

Well then it had to be urgently upgraded and ADSL was now available.

hahahaaa =)

I heard that if you request bigpond ADSL they may upgrade the RIM with the minimux.

You've probably already tried to sign up to an ISP for ADSL, maybe hassle Bigpond and see if they can transport your line? (But highly unlikely)

Also have a read at the whingpool forums re being on a RIM... http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-searc...1&r=9061876

Also dont expect the OPEL or the FTTN network to be working any time soon...

Completion:

-Labor: 2013 (Labor promises a five year rollout)

-Government: Mid 2009 (Fully completed to 99% of population)

Yea good luck if they actually complete it... Sounds like a voting scam once again...

Try wireless?

Yeah I heard about the tree on the RIM story.

Maybe a car could miraculously run over mine lol, just kidding.

The problem is our RIM is actually an RCM, which can't be upgraded with a minimux, and Telstra wont spend the money.

Have hassled Bigpond and Telstra Country Wide numerous times with no luck.

Also am a member of whirlpool forums (no luck there).

I have been told by my local member that our exchange will be upgraded as soon as september

and there is a media release on his web site stating the same, but yeah, could all be

a voting scam.

Have exhausted every avenue possible, and only options are NextG (too friggin expensive)

and subsidised satellite (metro comparable my ass).

Or move house.

i work for a company that rebills from telstra so we see all the crap that goes on, we know for a fact that they prioritise their own customers over any one elses for faults, for ADSL connections, land line connections etc.

they don't see DSL as a priority service so they'll take their sweet ass time upgrading the exchange unless there is a high demad in the area but even then they'll take their time

one reason might be beacuse lack of techs available to upgrade, other might be money and the other might be cos they just dont give a toss, could be all three

damage their rim FTW

it wont matter about the land line, every telstra customer gets a mobile handset CDMA or whatever you req if they can't have a fault fixed within lead time.

if they don't offer it to you, you have every right to ask for it and they will have to provide it

other companies will only give it to you if you need priority assistance (someones about to cack it at your place)

TIO wont help for DSL i don't think... just breaking balls will but that don't look promising for you

Yea DSL is a "luxuary" item, as long as Telbroad minded person can provide a min land line voice phone service this is enough.

Maybe if you can get enough people at the exchange that want ADSL then maybe they will concider upgrading the RIM.

Have you tried ISDN or DoV?

Or just go on a rampage like that dude who broke all those Telbroad minded person exchange thingys : http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=176483

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
