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.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
