Just had some dero sounding kid offer me 2k and then explain why 2k is a good offer..

How did he explained that his offer is a good offer?

I'm very curious.

something along the lines of,

'I'll give you $2k for your car...it's a good offer because I've read your posts about all the problems you've had with it, and I know you NEED to sell it because you aren't allowed to drive it, and no one else seems to be buying it, so I'll give you $2k to take it off your hands'

rb20s are so damn gutless off boost..

never buying another rb20 r32.. and if i do, rip it out and go 25

lol start blaming your automatic box first champ. Learn to drive manual and the rb20 can be managed. Else go buy an automatic commodore, perfect car for you.

lol it went

would you take 2k?

me: no thanks man

guy: ohh cmon, 2k cash. its been forsale for like a week and its on ebay for a dollar..

me: errr with a reserve...

guy: yeah i can get a VX commo for 7k.. think about the 2k

me: okay.. you can leave 2k deposit and come up with 5k on pickup?

tooooot tooooot toooot

think he got mad lol

lolwut?

anyone know if the VSS on a 34 gtt is on the gearbox or on the diff?

so far ive had 4 trade offers. 3 of em for vy ss's and got 1 few days ago for a bmw 523i 1996 and 1K my way

thinking of just dropping the price to something ridiculous and be done with it

I have a 26 and a 20 with GT2860rs and tbh the 20 doesn't have that much less torque down low especially with the delicious torque converter. Maybe your 20 just needs some servicing?

This man is correct despite his love for 32 sedans*

*not that anything is wrong with 32 sedans

doubt it.

pats right, its the auto box

nick- you want a v35 sedan?

Can't resist replying.. sorry for nerd speak :P.

The government investment to the NBN is capped at $26-27 billion dollars. Furthermore, this is an investment, not a direct cost.. as in, Australian's stand to get this money returned, with a net cost to the public of 0 dollars. The NBN is not a government department, Conroy has no say in it's day to day running, the most he really has to do with it is the legislation that goes through parliament. Mike Quigley is the guy who is behind the NBN and he's one of the most respected and experienced people, not incompetent like both sides of politics. "Labor" (note the lack of a u) aren't rolling out the nbn, the NBN company is, the exact same people the Liberal broadband plan was going to use. It was listed in the policy, the exact same people that Labor are using, are the same the Liberals wanted to use.

Not even sure where to start with this.. Most obviously, most of my traffic is volume limited, not latency driven. Are you aware in other parts of the world there is no 'cap' on downloads? Sure pwning noobs with 10ms ping is wonderful for stroking your ego but not the reason the internet gets investment. The NBN stands to greatly improve bandwidth for Australian customers making currently impossible tasks like TVonDemand (which is very popular in the US with my friends over there) achievable. It also opens up entirely new uses for the internet which in Australia we don't even think of. In any case most people are connected to adsl, and fibre does actually have a lower latency than adsl by a fairly good margin. A lot of the copper in Australia is so old that it needs to be replaced some of it is over 50 years old, there are stories of telstra techs trying to pick up copper cables and starts to crumble in their hands from age. Fibre speeds can be upgraded by replacing the hardware on either side of the connection, the fibre doesn't need to be pulled out to increase speeds. The speeds fibre will be able to reach in the future may even reach terabytes, all without having to replace the fibre, just the hardware.

No idea where you got that latency number from but i'm pretty sure we haven't broken the laws of physics just yet captain. I'd love to know though, cause having a latency half the time it takes for light to go to the US and back is pretty cool :).

Wireless is a last resort, there is FOUR HUNDRED TIMES the spectrum available in the infra-red portion of the electromagnetic spectrum used for fibre optics than there is in all of the radio frequency spectrum. That's just a fact of physics where the frequencies used for infra-red are many orders of magnitude greater than radio waves and subsequently there is far more spectrum bandwidth available. Only ultra-violet, x-rays, gamma rays etc have a spectrum advantage over infra-red fibre optics, but they have a nasty property of being ionising which destroys much of the matter that tries to contain them assuming you can contain them at all.

One of the key draw cards for the NBN is that Telstra IS GOING to be split. They have done such a bad job of supply Australia with decent backhaul that it is now significantly financially cheaper to destroy its monopoly by creating a new network :S. Thanks Mr Howard.

The Tasmanian NBN rollout so far has actually come out well UNDER budget.

Ps. yup Paul :). Although it is worth noting the NBN stands to greatly improve network access in Major Centres as well as regional.

TL;DR

Fibre optic is win? Everyone knew that :P

    • Scenic roads, stunning skylines, and Chickos to finish it off! Join SAU NSW as we cruise through the Royal National Park and along Lawrence Hargrave Drive to Figtree! Sunday 26th October 2025 4:30PM Meeting Waterfall Station Parking 5:00PM Cruise Departure Royal National Park > Lawrence Hargrave Dr > Memorial Dr > Sid Parrish Park 6:15PM Arrival at Sid Parrish Park Figtree Meet Location: Waterfall Station Parking Final Destination: Sid Parrish Park RSVP: https://forms.gle/E4s5SiRKQfDdypky8 *Disclaimer* There will be a lead and follow car so no one should get lost. If you would like to attend or bring others along please put your name down and a +1 as numbers will be needed prior! This is NOT a race and we will all be adhering to all road rules. If this is what you want please come to one of our many track days. This is an official SAU:NSW event and will be run under a CAMS permit. One of the things that really sets our club apart is our commitment to being true enthusiasts. When on normal roads we strive to maintain good relations with the authorities as well as the public in general. When attending one of Skylines Australia NSW events please try to: • Be aware of surrounding environment and act accordingly. • Drive courteously on the state’s roads as a true enthusiast should. • Understand how important it is to maintain the good name of SAU NSW and thus, treat others accordingly. • Any misbehavior will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave.
    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
