You never win, when you are in le position there will always be more expensive things to get.

My r32 was better off when I was a student on casual wages. Now its all about budgeting & being serious with money :(

The sad reality :(

Yeah no doubt commitments and responsibilities just continue to grow! I guess sometimes at the end of the day, you just have to bite the bullet and go for what you want and deal with the rest! :P

but telstra you pay $$ for the good connection. vodafail serves me mostly; although their dodgy reception can be a pain at times, but generally not that many dramas for me thus far

as I presumed, I would also because brunette > blonde

that is true

Telstra or Optus.... Never seem to get reception with Optus atm but could be that phones f**ked

Either way get to finally upgrade, S3 here I come :D

optus seems to always run out of reception when you need it most...

also upgrading next month to an S3 good timing since my phone got smashed yesterday

telstra...

havent been to one place without reception yet, even elevators i seem to have a perfectly clear convo

Yeah that's what I want, reception.

Optus has a tower 5mins away from my house, and I still don't get reception some days :S

not really both Optus and Telstra have $80 plans, and most people would think Optus cheaper but there plan comes in at $2016 over 24months and Telstra is at $1920

Also Telstra has free to talk from 7pm to 7am during weekdays and all day weekends where as Optus don't on theirs. The only thing Optus give you is $50 more calls (makes no difference with free talk, and .5gb extra data which I never use all mine cause I'm usually on wifi anyway)

Yeah that's what I hate most, especially because phone is used for work calls too

Telstra its no contest I had Optus and it just failed epically in same spots everytime - pay $30 more for Telstra but for my kind of work it's well and truly worth it!

Underground car parks full reception love it.

Oh yeah? I haven't really looked at phone/contracts recently (mine only ends next Jan, or even with early exit deal of some sort still a few months away) - but just thought as a general rule telstra you do pay more for less (in terms of plans/handsets/random additions - but you do get more with mad reception as everyone here is saying haha). Will have to keep an open mind and check out telstra when contract is up then this time maybe hmm :P

    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
