I dont think my battery even weighs like a kilo it's tiny, may as well be one of those little 9v batteries

You'd be surprised.

Thought my R1 battery was small but it was 4.5kg - saved nearly 4kg by using lithium. That's a lot of unsprung weight on a bike. People pay thousands for that kind of weight saving.

Phillip Island in a few weeks should be goooood I wonder what speed I'll get down the straight..

lol keep ya head down

Phillip island straight on a naked = gonna have a bad time

Why does it have anything to with the government? NBN has been a clusterf**k for a few years now. Visionstream were a primary contractor and had sack a lot of staff to reduce overheads from NBN playing hardball. Like many government backed initiatives, the cheapest bidder is selected, the price blows out due to poor estimations and general incompetence.

Whoever is in government at the time has little affect on this process.

The article I mean. Essentially blaming the government for changing the scope of the NBN and then blaming them when the project was within budget during Labour reign and now blowing out during liberal reign.

I think it works both ways

It's not beyond governments to put in measures of control for budgeting, but there are also variables you can't account for. And if delegations and contractors were lined up during a previous reign of government that's a bit difficult to control.

Forecasting an enormous project with so many variables is also very hard. I don't mind it blowing out within good reason, but when it's clear that private contractors are rorting or being rorted, that's when I feel not enough measures have been put in place or enough control exercised by governments. The insulation scheme, for example, should have been much better regulated than cheques written and contractors left to their own devices.

so want to stab some-one for that...all this money to guarentee slower internet than most of us get now.

how does it have anything to do with the gov..idiots decided to drop grom 100mbit to 25..

So spending a shit tonne of cash for the internet most of us already had/or faster.

they should have kept the original expandable system Labour had or cancelled it..which would be a better option as they cannot innovate like private business trying to clear a profit would.

^this

It's a LOT of money to drop on effectively obsolete technology.

Even if the labor model was more expensive it was the better option. This LNP clusterf**k will cost another $50 bil in a few short years when the whole thing needs to be replaced

What are you all crying about? The article clearly states that any additional funds will be raised from private investors & not government.

So relax, your precious tax income isnt being spent.

Also if you read the article instead of shouting that the sky is falling, it says:

"While 20 per cent of premises will get fibre connections, 38 per cent will get fibre to the node and 34 per cent will access the NBN using the hybrid fibre coaxial cables that supply Foxtel services."

HFC connections offer gigabit speeds & not the doomsday 25mbps.

f**k me, everyone has turned into a telecommunications engineer/capital coordinator.

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
