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:

^^^really? but thats just for sim/the plan right? no fone? if fone which fone lol?

bout to finish off my contract also with soul in a month so looking to get a good deal as they have been ripping me off quite abit lol.

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?

Been with soul (bdigital) for almost 3 contract legnths (so almost 6 years), Usually just upgrade plan/phone when the time comes. Im on a $49 cap with $300 worth of calls.

    • Haha nice, my kids are the same two older boys say cars are boring while younger girls like them. My 1.5yo daughter watches D1GP on YouTube with me, holding a toy plate for steering wheel and making brmm brmm noises
    • Took the car out to see if it still starts, sure does. Daughter wanted to for a spin too, she loves it when it doses, also cries when we come home and try to take her out of the baby seat 🥲  I actually put the seat in for her brother, but he absolutely hates the shitbox. Anyhow, so after looking at real boats, and transoms, bait tanks etc. and scupper valves attached to them, I came up with ideas to improve the catch can. The primary goal was to stop the interior smelling like vented catch can shit when the windows are down OR when the HVAC is not recirculated. My catch can has a sump drain/feed at the bottom, 2x cam cover inlets, 1x outlet back to the intake pipe and 1x vent at the top. The initial theory was at idle, and off boost there would be just enough suction from the intake pipe (pre turbo) to pull back any smelly shit from the catch can before it could escape out of the vent (which does have 1x layer of foam and a fine mesh screen on top). It kind of works, however on hot days, the motor is breathing more than the suction provided from the intake pipe (pre turbo) and there's a bit of vapours escaping (not a bit amount, but enough to piss me off). I could have just sealed off the vent, however it would mean each time I take it to the track or decide to drive it with a bit of enthusiasm, I would need to remove the seal. To address this, using scupper valve idea, I used a 3mm sheet of rubber and cut essentially a valve that requires a bit of pressure to crack open and vent. Took the shit box for a drive today, came back and parked the car. No heavy stench, great success ☺️ I still would swap for a F80 LCI or W204 2012+ C63 AMG, if anyone is keen 😅
    • I'm with Kinkstaah on this one. Do it once, do it right. So much better for your mental health. The sneaky thing about the fuel pump wiring is that it will work perfectly fine for the longest time. Until that one moment when it decides to shit the bed. And it's not worth the paranoia from not trusting the car anymore. At least other mechanical issues announce themselves by developing some noise or other warning. If you have the funds, I'd suggest to go with a good kit like Frenchys and get the work done by a trustworthy shop. No regrets there. The only downside to the Frenchys kit on the Stagea/R32 GTR is that their fuel level sender is not on point. But looks like the R33 kit maintains the factory sender so should not be an issue. This is what the botched setup on my Stagea looked like before it stopped working. It had melted its way quite a distance down. Glad it didn't burn down the car.   Some links I came across when I looked for solutions: Radium sells a DIY wiring kit that looks promising. I didn't buy it though, I let my workshop decide on wiring. https://www.prospeedracing.com.au/products/radium-diy-fuel-pump-hard-wiring-kit-17-0031 https://www.radiumauto.com/DIY-Fuel-Pump-Wiring-Kit-P368.aspx   You can also get cheap replacements for the locking ring depending on how mangled it looks: https://www.kudosmotorsports.com/Nissan-17343-79900-Fuel-Tank-Outlet-Locking-Ring-for-Nissan-S14-S15-BNR32-R33-R34-AWC34 There are tools for unscrewing it as well so you don't have to abuse it with a screwdriver and mallet. The Frenchys one is expensive but I'm sure there are cheaper ones.
