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.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
