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 ;-)

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?!

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 :)

      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.
