INASNT I live in Berwick and have IINET ADSL 512kbit, 20gig per month for $79.95 per month (not bad at all, good pings as well)

My mate lives in Narre Warren Sth and has Internode 1500mbit unlimited and swears by it, he used to work for Connect in melbourne and knows his sh%t, Senior Tech. He reckons the network is heaps better as well.

A few estates around this area have Optarse cable but not many

optarse is ghey... internode's alright but dart is the bomb.

That house looks exactly like one that my mate lives in (down tot he bar n billiards table) in Dingley Village. I'm guessing it was a predesigned style or sumfin?

anything except an NB1300 or NB1200, stick to D-Link for most things like filters etc, or if you can get your hands on an ASUS hub/modem.

At 512 you won't notice any difference in the equipment you use, only if you start goin to higher speeds. (I've got 512 and tried about 4 different modems with and without routers)

Stick with D-Link, good price for a decent enough product. Something like a DSL-504 $254.17 (if you've got multiple computers) or a DSL-200 $132.09 for a single connection. Check www.instantit.com.au.

Any type of filter is fine, as long as it's for ADSL. InstantIT is quoting $14.00 for a filter, I'm sure I got them cheaper than that...

I'll have to put in a plug for Internode as well... They've got great service, excellent network speed/pings albeit for a couple of dollars extra than the cheapest of providers (you do get what you pay for in the broadband arena). There must be an echo in here (Whirlpool is your friend!) - they just completed their survey too which gives a pretty good breakdown of the current broadband scene.

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)

... most of the problems with telstra are their ****ed up authentication and mail servers. While most resell the Telstra bottom layer, there are quite a few out there that have their own servers. THOSE are the ISP you wanna go for. I had ADSL on telstra for like a year and it was constantly ****ed up, couldn't log in, servers were down, ****ing rubbish. THEN after that I switched to Netspace.. not a problem, 10 times better.. and when i switched to my router setup permanently connected it had like an up-time of 3 months! 3 months ON permannetly conneted. Telstra could never match that with their servers.

It depends whether the ISP is a layer2 provider or whatever, most still use the bandwidth of Telstra, but the rest of the system is their own..

anyhow...www.whirlpool.net.au - u can learn everything u ever want to know there..

With the "self install" yeah.. it's a doddle to install. .plug modem into filter and then phone line, run the install cd, enter account details and done

If you want to get fancy and have laptops or whatever, you might be best off buying a wireless router or wirelesss router/dsl modem of your own - that way you can just wireless throughout the house to get on the net.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
