Annoying thing is I've desoldered heaps of ICs before just using my soldering iron and a solder sucker... this one's just being a right prick for some reason.

I too, have desoldered many before but I can tell you now, if you sit there with the solder iron on it for too long, whe nyou go to lift it, you will pull the track up with it. The ONLY way you should do it is with a heat gun or cut the pins, then manually extract each one with a bit of heat from the solder iron and a pair of pliers. I hope it's not too late

Yeah I know. I don't think that will happen but I did get a little bit drunk and then a little bit angry...

If I have f*cked any of it a little circuit repair shouldnt be a problem. Unless the PCB is multilayer, which I don't think it is? (Two sided is OK, just as long as there are no middle layers)

Fark! Keen! It'd probably take me 6!

Would take me all weekend. Guaranteed. There might only be 3.5 hours work in that, but it would take all weekend to get done :P.

Hopefully I'll be able to save it! haha

They are a double sided non multi-layer board. I already had to make a repair on one of the fine tracks, not sure if you saw it. If you can get it to me before Thursday, I can get it back to you on Thursday. If not, it would be Sunday at the earliest as I'm in Melb for TopGear Live on Sat.

Let me know ;-)

Big boy

Woohoo! Got the card in the mail for my turzbro. Will have it in my hands

Hopefully I'll be able to save it! haha

I have faith :thumbsup:

Short of driving out to you right now (and I really CBF) thursday will be the earliest I can get it to you.

Sunday would be grand, but if you can't manage it no big deal :).

You know that TGL came to brisbane right? You didn't need to go to melbourne to see it :P

Big boy

Thanks Babe.

Today was international women's day. I didn't get given a single sandwich! What the hell did we give them their own day for if they can't even thank us for it with sandwiches?!

lol

Morning Mangs,

^^^Forgot to finish that sentance, awesome. Still makes for a good 'thats what she said'.

WHat I meant to say is I will have it in my hands this afternoon :)

Had a GG of cricket last night, Made 20* off 10 balls, and my 2 overs were 3/-2. We took full points for the game but the team above us also won, so we didn't make the finals :(. I think they are going to run a second set of finals though for all the teams that didn't make the real ones...

Anyone know what's involved in switching from 3 to Telstra when my contract expires (soon :)) and keeping my current number?

Go into a Fone Zone, not a Telstra shop.

Hand them the phone and say make it work on Telstra networks

Also going to visit Dan today for a service.

That's what she said.

Why Fone Zone over Telstra shop?

My phone won't work on telstra network :(, I'll need a new phone.

Oh and I believe it's filling day today. Can only see 1/10th of my desk.

Sucks to be you.

Walk into a Telstra Shop.

"Hi, I'm currently a customer with 3 and I'm sick of their shitty service. I want to switch carrier to you guys but keep my current number, what can you do for me?"

Watch them fall over themselves trying to get you to switch.

I did this when the iPhone 4 came out. I had been a business customer with Optus for 7 years and they told me it would be a two month wait for the iPhone as my contract had 6 months to go at that point. I walked into Telstra and they had a phone in my hand, doubled the data allowance for the plan at no cost, paid my early exit fee from Optus and paid the transfer fee for the number and had it all done in less than 30 minutes. Two month waiting because of contract reasons is not how you treat a customer who has been with you for 7 years. My entire family pulled their contracts and went to Telstra as well for more or less the same reasons with similar results.

Sounds good. Do I have to do anything with 3 then to cancel my service or will the telstra mugs handle it all?

Keen for double data allowance :)

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
