Dezz - as Justin posted, 5kms... You might as well just get ADSL

It'll be about the same speed and most likely cheaper. But it's a fine line.

Also do not go off "Line of Sight" to the exhange.

Im only about 400m from it, but in effect i am actually about 800m cause the cabling goes around the fken block or something stupid before it comes back up the street to my complex.

And ye, TPG are the bottom of the barrell IMO.

isnt it more like 40BILLION?

When was the last time you saw Labour deliver something on time & less than 20% over budget?

It'll be well into the 50mil at the very least if they are touting 40mil at this stage. Guess who's going to pay for that difference?

End of the day a NBN is fken pointless as we are still externally limited.

People will be under the impression it will bring faster internet, faster web page loads, faster downloads etc. Fact is - it won't.

We are still limited by the residential connections to the rest of the world.

EG:

Residential/Commercial "ping" to the US is around 180-200ms

Industry (Oil & Mining companies/big commerce etc) using the super uber sea pipeline is around 70ms

Its over a 100% increase to the average peasant just because of the external links. Nothing to do with the network in AUS.

By putting in a NBN, the pings/latency will NOT drop for residential people simply because they are not upgrading the O/S & External connections.

The money would be better spent on investing in wireless within AUS, and then upgrading the underwater connections for residential/commercial use to similar grade that big business has now.

THAT would be a far better way to spend the money and it would actually show tangible benefits.

Hell even forget the wireless all together and just do the external connections.

Also Telstra's current nutsack strangle hold on everything is fked too.

Just to get out of the US via IINET, it takes i think 10 or 11 "hops" across various points to hit the US. Each point adds delay/latency etc.

Where as if you are with Telstra the equivalent is about 6 hops IIRC which speeds the net up and gains you can actually feel/notice.

Simply put Labour/Conroy etc, all have no fking clue. It's such a gross waste of money and really jacks me off.

We are going to pay MORE than we should, get ripped off and end up getting something that in 10yrs time will be old-hat tech.

yeh i though tthe NBN was costing 40 billion not millions.

i dont know the full background on why new estates dont get everything but it may even depend on the builder of the estate too

in keilor all the cables are underground (no power poles etc) which is great and it just happened to have bigpond cable

so i was lucky and couldnt be bothrered with a phone line so went cable

In the old days, they would build huge ass buildings for the exchanges because they thought the tech needed the space. Not until around 1990 they realised it doesn't need as much space, just as big as a house. So the reason why old places get everything, because they have the room. New exchanges, they just build a little house for it. and even sometimes just use a trailer. Old exchanges = cable + adsl2+.

New ones, they only have room for the telstra one. if they have more room. other providers will fight for it, plan out the layout. and chuck it in.

I wish i lived in keilor downs where there was cable and multiprovider 2+. But taylors lakes is running on a sub exchange which is apart of a big exchange consisting of taylors lakes, sydenham and hillside. >.>

+1 rocker cover gasket...

the oil lower has probably just leaked down the outside....

hit it with degrease and see where it re-appears

hmm could be a leak behind where its coming down from. Dont see any obvious leaks around the rocker cover gasket. Had that shit replaced like 2 times already. Keep blowing these gaskets (if its the case again)

Will give it a proper look over in the day tomorrow.

time for beers

i'd prefer to sell it whole... if i can get the price, then i'll happily let it go...

i've put too much work into it to part it out.... but i will if i have to :/

How much you selling it for again?

...

Pretty much it all has stopped for the time being until everyone knows whats going on.

True that. I sell fibre optic cable and the amount of calls relating to the NBN I get without having any idea what's going on is unbelieveable.

lol and you think rb25 is gutsy off boost?

would be better than a 20

julliete, have you tried a $1 reserve auction on ebay for your car?

im having ALOT of interest, half of which is low ball offers but some are genuine

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
