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.

    • 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. 
    • Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
