Yeah 500,000 is not much though. + how many of them are on 4G at the same time :)

A mate of mine actually is in dev for Telstra under mobile ops so playing around with this stuff all the time, i'll see if i can get more info from him.

Agree RE: 3G in the CBD, Telstra has been struggling bad for 12 months now.

It's also about 10,000 Telstra 3g towers plays 1,000 Telstra 4g towers.

One issue with 4G though it that the spectrum doesn't have the same ability to penetrate buildings as the 3G spectrum so I usually only get 3G when on the crapper :(

Iphone 5 was quoted to be compatible with Telstra, Optus and virgin 4g networks in apple's presentation

Pretty sure Telstra is Band 3 which the iP5 works on.

Would be simply hilarious if it didn't. But I'm fairly certain it does. Don't know about the Optarse or Vodafail networks.

iPad had the wrong bands, didn't work on 4G here, and they got sued for false advertising for promoting it as 4G.

New iPhone comes in three varieties to deal with all the bands in various countries.

gg telco's way top have an industry standard

Err they had the same issue in the UK and other areas because the US use a diffrent band to most other countries. The telcos have no real choice as to which band they use as they are not all up for sale at the same time and are used for different purposes in different countries.

The Samsung marketing department has been kicking goals lately. They really are giving it to Apple.

Then again, Apple has given them plenty of fodder with the whole "patent for swiping" thing and of course Apple iSheeple continue to be the butt of many jokes the world over.

I will probably get a Samsung next time round because A) they make excellent phones and B) they continually pisstake Apple.

    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
    • Shock tower brace is in +5Kw....LOL
