Hey guys this is just for a marketing/consumer behaviour assignment. Wondering where you guys would sign up for a new mobile contract and phone. Focusing on melbourne/victoria buyers so posted here.

Do you like sitting down on those couches in Yes Optus's new lay out stores, do you like the free xbox's or mp3's when signing up with strathfield or jb hi fi or do you like the convenience of ordering your new contract and phone over the phone or internet?

Had a bad experience with any of these? i phone never came in on the specified date because sold out prior and went emo tenfold? Guy at the local telstra doesn't know shiet and keeps staring at your missus's boobs? What are your reasons?

i know theres a few choices so just pick whatever relates to you

any input would be awesome. thanks!

Personally for the couple I have had, I prefer to go to the supplier directly, in my case Telstra and Optus. Telstra was chosen for coverage and nothing else and Optus was chosen for the availability of plans and the iPhone plus I was pissed off with Telstra for their high excess charges and useless staff each time I spoke to someone.

found a corker deal with TPG, and i'm in the middle of switching. I've got the sim, but haven't activated yet and haven't canceled with optus yet, but i'm practically up and running with TPG, which is Soul, which i guess is just optus in the end :laugh:

i did mine over the net as i think that was the only way of doing it with TPG.

$19.99, $300 cap, NO CONTRACT, just pay by the month. Got my number brought over from optus. Happy camper. I'm currently $49 cap with Optus for like $230 calls, so TPG was a no brainer especially with no lock-in contract. leave whenever i want.

Hope i haven't missed something, and there's some catch 22 :cool:

i BYO'd phone, so don't know about the deals with phones... there were some to choose from though, check it out at TPG if you're keen :laugh:

so yeah, for me it's just sim/plan. I think it's the cheapest NO CONTRACT plan going, well, cap plan anyway. Other has $19, $300 caps but they're 24month lock in

Same ^^ although not as viable now but when the market was strong it saved my a lot of money to buy my phones in HK and go into no contracts, here but since we crashed you don't save that much anymore plus I haven't held onto a phone for over a year for ages, it's just not worth holding on to when I can trade my phone in and get 2/3rds my money back and pay 1/3 for the newest one

How can you not have Crazy Johns??? :/

i got my first contract there, since that expired 7+ years ago, ive just been out of contract and buy my phones outright when i want a new one and that leaves me to swap plans etc without locking into anything

yep, i think i've had 1, maybe 2 contracts during my mobile history, like the freedom to move if something good comes up. And i saw this TPG ad on the back of a bus, and i'm in, activated the account tonight. Should be up and running in about 24-48 hours.

what plan you got at the moment Ash?

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required

      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

      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.
