In your case fair enough, but in terms of I.T stuff I've got co worker in same role as me, studied some uni computer science course for years only to end up with the same role/pay as me and owing $$,$$$ in hecs lol

Depends on what you want to do, I.T is pretty much all hands on / experience.

Sucks to be that guy. It's the cheapest loan you'll ever get though

I just don't think about mine lol

So need to change mobile phone providers as I wont have reception once i move across.

Have 6 months left of contract @ $60/month with free iphone 4s

6months * $60 = $360 remaining

Called up to cancel contract; they say to end contract it will cost $280 termination fee + $100 handset payment = $380

To cancel early will cost me more than remaining with them for 6 months -__-

They gave me an option to return the phone and have all fee's and handset costs waived.

But then i'll be stuck with no phone...

Could sign up for a new 24mnth contract and get an iphone 5 today but I heard the 5S is only a couple months away

Or buy a cheap phone for $150-$200 until the 5S comes out

Or pay $400 to keep my 4S and sell for $200 when the 5S comes out

Thinking best option may be to pay the $400 and resell once the new 5S comes out :/

Where is Aaron with his telecom connections?

i have an old n97 you can have if you pay for postage, its semi smart but painfully slow by modern standards.

i just upgraded my SGS2 to a HTC one

but would need to factory restore it and i think the samsungs locked to optus, nokia is unlocked.

call the telecommunications ombudsman and tell them you have attempted internal dispute resolution however it was not acceptable.

the issue is that you are required to move for work and they can not provide reception.

the ombudsman will accept the complaint and give you a number to call (the telco's external disputes resolution team)

this will cost them $50 (telco)

you then speak to someone and they will just accept to cancel your contract outright and let you keep the handset based SOLELY on commercial reasons.

If you escalate the complaint further and the ombudsman accepts it (which they will in this case), it will then cost them (telco) $500 (which is more than the termination fee)

so for them it's now lose $300 or $500

biggest problem i see with all this is you're only considering iphones... :P

Mum's manual Soarer has had some engine issues for a couple of years, since we rebuilt the engine. It was driveable, but ran gutless on and off boost, jolting all over the rev range under WOT etc. I always felt it was running overly rich. We had rebuilt the engine with random forged pistons and rebuilt the turbos too (after an incident involving flood waters).

Got it dyno'd recently - 120rwkw and 5psi (stock is ~8psi) lol. Prolly wiring/sensor issues plus the forged pistons with god knows what compression, untuned. Soarers usually make at least 140-150rwkw stock.

Greddy E-Manage + tune = instant 170rwkw @ 10psi. No exhaust, no cooler, just the ECU and boosted. COMPLETELY different car on and off boost. Has never felt this good since the day we bought it. 1JZ <3 again.

inb4 Hamish still a Soarer

Wasteland brahs quick advice

As I dont know much about stretched tyres or stanceworks or hektik mexican poke and strech

Bought some 9.5inch rims with Achilles 235 crappy tyres on them so lots of stretch.

Need to run these temporarily before I can order some proper 265 tyres.

Max psi for the tyre says 50psi.

What psi should I have the tyres at to minimize chances of the rim rolling off the tyre?

As when I went to the servo one tyre was on low psi and the rim actually came off the tyre 1/2 way

I've put in 36 psi for now.

Safe to go fast around corners with streched tyres or not really?

    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
