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.

    • 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!
