i have to back up TPG as they are my ISP. :wave: It really depends what you use the net for. I use it mainly to download prons and other stuff so its ok with ping times as it provides me unlimited download. Best month was 40 gig :D :D ;)

anyway, i have to also admit that playing online games gets crappy ping times so it really depends what you use it for.

i live in narre warren now...and i have foxtel as well as adsl, so optus tv i not sure of casue they have there own cable..but adsl you should be fine jsut about anywahere....

i have unlimeted dload on the adsl with dodo..and seriously, NO TROUBLE whatsoever..AND with NO contract is their standard way for $65 a month i think

dart is good for ADSL... as long as your exchange supports it. I'm with pacific atm and they've got mad speeds, however its not unlimited, I've got a 10gig cap per month and that's during off peak, during peak time I've got a 1 gig cap.

Which suits me fine coz I leechzor during the nighttime

i use iinet, as some1 said b4 , go to the whirlpool site, its got everything you'll need there if either you want adsl or cable. narre warren im pretty sure offer both cable and adsl, depends if ur north/south though i guess. "i think" you said it was a new area? or new housing estate? so you could be unlucky and be on as earlier was mentioned a rim or pair gain. bad luck if you are :) . i just got adsl today and im in hampton park (right next to narre) and everything seems good.

firstly, telstra ****ing blows. had them out the other day to install a line.. waited for 6 hours and they never showed up or even called. When I asked for a refund the girl said it wasn't their policy... so i asked, why is it your policy to charge me if im late with my bill, but I cant charge you when your late....

secondly, whirlpool is your friend!

thirdly, i have bigpond unlim adsl ($100 a month) and also tel.pacific adsl unlim ($80 a month). Only been on tel.pac for 1 weeek now and its good for the price.

Been reasonably happy with telstra adsl apart from when the phone line was hit by lightening and blew up my computer through the modem. They told us that any damage past our front door is our problem, the other side is theirs. The week after that we were hit again and the phone cable fried under the driveway. They then told us anywhere on our property is our responsibility, and after a 1 1/2 month fight with no phone lines or internet they finally agree to fix it and pay for it....

I guess I would have had the same problem if I had another net connection as Telstra has a monopoly over the lines... but i think my point is, dont use them as they are the biggest liars I have ever had to deal with. Im glad I sold my shares and made a good profit.

also SLYWPN - can you please tell "Sue" from W.A call centre she is the dumbest bitch I have ever had to talk to on the phone ever... and if she tells me to call "AAPT" once more im going to really ****ing crack it

(long story but i had a fault with my line and got this dumb lady who kept telling me it was an AAPT number and to call them - i repeated nearly 100 times that I have my telstra bill in front of me. She finally put me on to her manager when I told her she was the most retarded ****wit I have ever had to deal with in my life... when i got on to her supervisor she fixed my problem in 15 secs)

congrats on the house try and find the local exchange and see if your 3 klms from it any more and your like me isdn or satelite isdn is bearable but not real cheap . I"m 5 klm from the exchange. also those new estates are great for testign cars out :0 I love it

cheers

have you got your car back yet? if so how is it

hehe u do realise a LOT of companies resell telstra ADSL... the number of times I've spoken to ppl who've changed from telstra to iprimus coz its a better service... bollox...

wood

it isent a new housing estate, the house is 3 years old.

i had a lightening strike blow up my computer through the phone line also in qld and which blew up the whole junction box also. If u think telstra are farked, try ringing the dell (my work computer) helpline, it goes to india, after 1 hour on the phone trying to explain to the guy that qld is not driving distance away from vic (so i could get the computer fixed) i still got nowhere.

meggala

turbo had to be sent back on the 23rd to get the flange machined out a bit more and modified so the exhaust housing wouldnt toch the block. Hopefully get it all sorted before new years

oh i think i need to see a doctor! i cant keep my rage in when dealing with morons any more.

I went to pacific fair myer (qld) for stock take sale today and picked up some shirts at $41.95 with 30% off. Got to the counter and it came up as $49.95. Tell the lady what the deal is and she starts telling me that she only just started so how is she meant to know.. so i say thats cool, just mark them at the right price... then she refused and said i would have to go to another counter.. so im like WTF.. in the end she called security and her manager.. haha... got it all sorted and made her look like a ****... the whole time my 75yo dad is standing with me saying nothing, and this dumb bitch starts abusing him too! argghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..

not necessarily some larger ISP have boxes at exchanges in metro areas and use this. There's even an ISP in rural adelaide offering ADSL where testra don't by setting up secondhand US boxes (since the US has a shiteload of ADSL and is years ahead of us)

    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.
