so ISP is internode. happily had 10Mbps download speeds when in clayton. hit 1.1meg a second with steam

have moved to rowville, my plan was not available so had to switch to a different one. have had nothing faster than 430kbps download. router says 4.3Mbps constant. doesnt change with peak load.

before contacting ISP support i plugged router to port in a different room (only 2 in the house) and speed jumped to 7.1Mbps and downloading 720kbps with steam.

house has an old foxtel connection from the street which isnt in use and no home phone. is there anything i can do to get faster? why would the other port be so much slower?

Can be crappy wiring in the house... ring topology on the internal wiring etc... Should always plug in ADSL2+ Modems to the First point in the house, and make sure that the other points are wired in a manner which works well with ADSL (aka. Not how a lot of Phone Wiring was done by people 20 years ago)

Distance from exchange, estimated cable length and estimated speed when doing an address lookup on www.adsl2exchanges.com.au ?

not sure if i should buy a brand new house on a matchbox sized block, or a crappy house on a big block in thomo, and work on that.

under 1500m as the crow flies. dunno about cable...

Should be getting decent speeds at that sort of distance, the copper cabling in Wantirna isn't toooo broken down compared to other areas.

Big block

Land appreciates, houses depreciate

theres a nice big 700ish sqm block on the shit side of high st, but that sides slowly getting better.

Jetski

obviously

need a VF GTS Maloo first

I will be mad jelly of lion statues

you can come help me put them up brah.

also found a decent block in mernda, a little bit past epping.

about 630sqm. alex where you at?

Meanwhile Telstra still bullshitting me about getting me swapped over to an ADSL2 port in the Boronia exchange that I know they don't have.

Actually told me on the phone that I might have to wait for another customer in Boronia to die / disconnect from their ADSL2 service, in order to free up a port for me. I said what is this, the MCC? Still can't give me an eta for when a technician will get out there and solve it.

My prediction: after weeks and weeks they will eventually get a technician out there to report back (and not tell me, I'm sure I'll have to call) that they don't actually have ADSL2 ports, only Spintel and some other mob do, and bad luck for me...aka something I was able to establish from a quick google.

Get my brother to go in the exchange and plug you in brah. lol

Get my brother to go in the exchange and plug you in brah. lol

I would love nothing more than for your brother to put my plug in his port

Is he available tonight?

yeah but if there was a 3-4gbps loss just in the plug choice... it could be f**king anything just on the property.

    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
