I suggest you take my Fairlane for a drive then lol.

drove my mums BMW 535i quite often lately and I like it.

Man, I must have getting older!

Any idea what is good replacement to 32r? Evo?

what do you mean by vobs spanned?

you choose the .IFO and it figures out the rest? ie VTS_blah.ifo which is part of 4xVOBS - is this not spanned?

if you want a pair of 650mb movies VCD style, then you choose 2 CDs (1400mb)

whats the issue? ... ?

it looks like a typical early 90s guy gets girl, two tough guys rock up, fight, random tities at the bar in a strip joint, fight, more fights, some cash, fight, end scene

no dodge viper

wrong movie..

dezz can you get cable where you are?

if you want shit fast and it to just work, bigpond cable is tops

i would never go back to anything else, i get staff discount so its a bit different but its tops

how much will tpg cost you

How much is cable? not sure if it's available at my new place..

got ADSL here through internode, bit of a rip at $69 or $79 a month for 40gb...Might sus out if TPG is available here, because if it uses the telstra exchange, that's just around the corner so should be fast...

If I can get it in my new place, it seems like the cheapest option for a decent amount of bandwidth... 60gb is $39 a month shaped to 256k/256k, doubt I'd use 60gb. or 200gb is $49 a month shaped to 1Mbps and there's no way I'd use 200gb

when was the last time you burnt a movie onto 2 x CD's?

useless file spanning i call it, given todays storage options

but if you want spanned movies, choose 2 CD's and away you go

what was the spanned vob issue?

Oh yeah, also, don't link directly to DVD decrypter on SAU, as it's an illegal piece of software (hence why the author of the program only posts the MD5 hash on the website so you can find it yourself.)

suck it up pincess, if you're gonna make a tutorial about how to make a scene release (like AXXO?), then at least stick to scene standards.

As for spanned VOBs, I was talking about something like son of rajab of the Rings, where the movie spans 2 DVD's, which you may wanna merge the VOBs from both main movies into one. Not the end of the world if you don't cover that tho.

scene standard this, i say 2x700mb is pointless and annoying

just means you have to rejoin it yourself after you download it

and the guide is for the average donkey wanting to rip movies

i spent ages stuffing around with xilisoft and it came out like ass most times

that guide helped me a lot so why not share the love

have you got a phone line there already (and do you need one?)

cos that adds to the cost as well, so you may find cable cheaper vs ADSL+phone line

There's a phone line here (parents house)

my place won't have one unless I put it in, wasn't planning to get a home phone as I don't need one, only reason I would is for internet...

http://www.tpg.com.au/products_services/adsl2plus_pricing.php?/pricing/homephone

Not sure if you need a phone line, thought that would be something you'd know more about than me?

There's ADSL2+ then there's 'naked adsl2+', not sure what the difference is?

From what I can see, if you bundle it with their phone line rental, which I guess I'd do considering I don't have an existing phone line, its $60 a month for unlimited... there'd be 3 of us living there so $20 a month each for unlimited net...how does that compare to cable prices?

had a quick look here - http://personal.optus.com.au/web/ocaportal.portal?_nfpb=true&_pageLabel=Template_woRHS&FP=/personal/bundles/broadbandhomephone&site=personal

if that's the right thing for me to be looking at, TPG would be cheaper for more bandwidth... Just have to hope it's available and at good speed

yeah naked adsl is dsl without a phone line

normal dsl you need phone line

bigpond is still a bit price exxy (pricks) 50GB for $79 without a phone line

nah when i said do you need a phone line, as in, do you want a home phone at your new house (a lot of people dont these days)

i didnt want one and i couldnt get naked dsl, exchange ports full so i went cable

yeah 60 a month is pretty good unlimited, hopefully one day bigpond will be competitive price wise

if you bundle bigpond cable with telsra phone line it might come out about the same ?

if you've already got a DVD and just want to copy it wouldn't you just pull a 4.3gb rip using DVDShrink, then burn it to DVDR rather than waste time converting to divx etc? DVDShrink plugs into Nero and ImgBurn etc so it's quite simple to pull a rip that way.

TPG changes your line over to its own DSLAM, so your telephone calls are actually sent through a transparent VOIP gateway. So you can't use it for faxes and for alarm systems etc. Easiest way to find out what arrangement they plan to put you on is to ask them if you can still send/recieve faxes on the line. It's a little shifty atm how they're sayin "$30 line rental" when you're in fact on a naked ADSL plan.

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
