Have a VoIP Provider who cut off our ability to make International Calls from our office on the 23rd of August. I've been contacting them for 3 weeks to try and get this shiz resolved... keep getting told that the director of the company is going to call me back within 10 minutes etc... Nothing.... Multiply by over 40 phone calls (30 of which just ring out (To their Sales / Support / Accounting departments).

Getting real tired of this...

are you one of those people with a carry-on bag the size of Andre The Giant's torso?

I usually take a back-pack and a laptop case and combined theyre the smallest items on the plane (in overhead compartment).

well it a qantas approved roll on and if I'm flying other than economy and it iternational yes as I get my own locker.

if economy I have a soft bag that I can fit around others bags.

so from what your saying your the one breaking the rules as you can only have ONE carry on bag.....

As a silver member I reserve the right to take more carry on than you

I think

that's the one area status does not help, carry on limit same for all classes/status.

check in however.

using the Qantas first Class check in, you arrive at the door a bell hop with a luggage trolley picked up your luggage from your and wisks it away and no scales.

considering the luggage limit is over 100kg, they figure if you can carry it in your probally under the limit.

which reminds me better check the winter menu to see what wines are on the list for next week

this is true. but its handy because i can put them into different nooks and crannies left by other bags. Whilst others trawl the length of the plane looking for somewhere to fit their poker set briefcase.

on that note, i hate queues and often wait until the last minute to get on board. often a bad move, but not special enough to get priority boarding.

My last trip with Jet* they placed a bag scale at the queue with dedicated staff to weigh all carry-on.

Doesn't make things easier when you have to carry steel-cap boots & a work laptop

yeah and I think they dropped the kg as well at same time.

last time I traveled with them...1.5kg, was not travel for work, spare change of beach clothes and a tablet. (no lounge so was not worried about attire.)

I've had that.

in the Philippines when we went to Boracay it was a prop job.

they weigh every bag and every passenger to get the weight distrubution correct.

flight was half full and there were 2 gents and the front sitting side by side with the rest of the row empty

other dude went to move to the free seat and stewardess shouts at them to sit back.

last time I caught a prop job.

Nothing worst than someone taking up your side of the overhead storage!

Usually all the asian that line up at the front of the queue and bring in bags each ruining the storage system for the whole plane.

Just like people in cinemas who never sit in their allocated seat

I wish somebody could explain why they don't load the plane passengers from the back first like it makes no sense you can't get to ya seat cos the jerks are loading over head lockers in rows in front of you like wtf it's surely a smarter system?

/endrant

as the ppl at the front of the plane are more important.

or as per one of my biggest hates, those that are at the back start walking down and put their bag in the first gap filling the front rows.

most larger planes do call it buy block of rows for that exact reason, but that would require ppl to be at gate on time and to do what told, which seems impossible for most travellers.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
