Going on my lunchbreak now to get the silver Stagea registered with SA plates at the city office. :D

Next month, the black Stagea comes off the road for some body work and respray. :cool: Still waiting for my front bar from Viva.

Ah f**k SAKE I just got a call saying it's been declined on Telstra's end. Apparently, Telstra haven't updated their database (probably a Excel Spreadsheet) to say that I'm off the pair gain system!

So, what do I do? I call up Telstra BUT WAIT... I get told "You need your mothers permission to talk to us. You aren't the account holder." So I went nuts at the guy, saying I'm 21, blah blah blah... but he refused to talk to me, yet a different guy only 2 days ago would talk to me!! Hmmm...

Anyway, got Mum to call them, and yep, yet another confirmation "You're off the pair gain system. You can get broadband!"

It's like they hold off releasing the information into the database for x amount of time, forcing you to sign up with Telstra! It's bullshit. But I'll just keep re-submitting my order with Internode.

Get this, $149.95 a MONTH for Telstra ADSL2+ with only 60gig allowance... What a rip.

Hahaha you'll have to get your mum to tell telstra your an authorised accounts person :D

in telstra's defence there hands are tied by the accc to not have better deals than there wholesale price dictates otherwise all the other isp's cry blue murder

i also reckon with node you'll find that allowance is made up of off peak data and peak

Hmmm...

Telstra are a funny bunch. Waaaay back in the day, Mum decided to move to another phone company. A few weeks after the move, Telstra actually sent a card in the shape of a giant bunch of flowers with the writing "We want you to come back" on it! And inside, all these phone offers!

We ended up moving back :D

I sound like a 12 year old when I say "And Mum said" and "And Mum and me went to the park"

Adam internet told me telstra will play tricks.

saying telstra have to come to your house to do something and if your not there it cost money. They didnt come.

telstra try their hardest to keep you onboard.

im using adam adsl+2. $60 a month. 10gig plus free voip phone etc

Just like I say to my little Daniel; "one day you'll realize that mums know everything!"

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
