Yeah I can vouch for NextG wireless, i use one for work... Shitloads better than all of the others, in coverage and speed (I've tested 3, vodaphone and unwired). The only downside is cost, it's pretty expensive!! Like $89 for 1GB per month on a 24 month contract... ouch!

Well if its telstra we all know we arnt going to get a good deal.. prob be $1000 for the dongle, $90 a month for 2g and $100 a mb after that.

At least they have good returns for there stock holders, oh wait there stocks suck.

Thanks doof :D for everyone else www.iinet

you're right, it's not really cheap... but it is really good...

The dongle (hehe) can come free on a $80 plan (i think) below that you have to buy it... the series 7 (old) can be flashed with the new software to make it the same speed as the series 8's... So unless you wanna spend a huge amount, there's no point buying a damn expensive dongle...

hehe :laugh:

And that makes my day complete. LoL

All i seen was 'no home phone line'. If it helps,,,my home internet is T'd from the foxtel cable.

Telstra internet with wireless router

Telstra also does a wireless modem aswell.but the modem has to be T'd into the foxtel cable then

its wireless from modem to desktops/laptops.

The cheapest and easiest way will be to just get your phone line hooked up ($30/mth) and get a cheap 512k ADSL1 plan with someone like aaNet for $25/mth so all up about $55/mth which is only about $15/mth more than using unpredictable wireless.

No go with foxtel?

Also, Tivo is coming out soon,supposedly you can use it with your tv to access

the internet.

Your Tivo also needs an internet connection, so it's just passing the internet through to the TV from your ADSL/other connection :)

fatz, did you ever get porn working at home? I just moved into a new place and getting the hook up. going with iinet in the end, and I noticed they have naked dsl now which means you not need phone line. they will give you the porn even without the phone. but I'm not sure how you will ring hot gossip without it? I gues you can use mobile.

now I have an actual question. where in sydney is cheap computer hardware retailers? I need to buy a new ADSL2 modem (with wireless router) and some other gear. leaning towards the billion 7300N. any suggestions gratefully received.

I wouldn't touch Billion mate, then again I wouldn't touch D-Link either, but that is just me.

Go for a Linksys.

well I've always been very keen on netgear.

a while ago when ADSL first hit the scene I had a billion ADSL mode/router and it was good. worked as it was supposed to. after about 4 years the power button broke, but I just taped it up and after that it was sweet until I upgraded.

then I tried a linksys, just wouldn't work with my config. tried a belkin, same problem and it was crap. then bought a netgear. easiest modem/router I have ever set-up. allowed my (then) out of the norm configuration and literally took maybe 2 mins to set-up.

I was very happy with it.

but I'm willing to look at linksys again. Can you suggest a comparable model that does the same stuff as that billion 7300N? cheersu. (^_^)

d-link works fine for me - setup around 3-4 wireless networks without a problem all been running for over 2yrs

Same here, I have a DSL504T & a dl524 running here, no probs.

To the OP, have you tried using satellite net connection? It cost A LOT though for speed thats not much better than ADSL.

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
