im not fully educated on the topic, but I wouldnt be surprised if the government changed the scope of NBN when they found out things were getting way too pricey and out of control.

nope

one of the liberal election promises they thought NBN was good but did not think it needed to be that fast.

one of the classic quotes at the time from a prominat was you could only be doing illegal things if you need internet that fast.

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.

Fibre to node is on 25mbps under 800m

It hasn't beetn future proofed.

What is going to happen in 10 years when the standard is live hologram business meetings etc?

Don't look at today's technology as tomorrow's solution.

Who knows what breakthrough will be next. Mobile internet is getting faster and faster. 5g mobile is 1 gbps.

& according to the above only 30% would have access to FTTN. And only a percentage would be far from the node etc.

Everyone treating fibre like its plumbing or electricity but there are many ways to transfer data.

Not to mention the advancement of data compression which would reduce bandwidth needs.

This is true, hence what martin said (that I agree with) it should have been done properly or not at all

exactly right but when a gov takes 10 years to roll out technology that was out of date when they started...not ideal.

Oh and FTTN for first 18 months is only guaranteed 12 Mbits..that much money for 38% to get speeds they were getting already.

copper can only handle a certain amount having it in a NEW infrastructure is a joke.

the old plan of 93% getting FTTP worked, now just they should have dropped it if they were putting in this system.

Well if money is a constraint & a solution can be delivered which meets today's needs for majority of public - then I have no issues.

Spending more money to future-proof technology is ridiculous because no one can predict what's around the corner with technology.

Perhaps we all go wifi - turn all the nodes Into fibre wifi hotspots & with advancement in antennas we can stream fibre speeds to mobile devices.

Who can say that a physical fibre line to your house is the only future.

Nothing but a big beat up by whinging opposition. Brunswick has FTTP & I bet none of them have connected fibre.

It's not a beat up. $50b IS being spent on tech from the 90's

$27bn capped government spend. The other half by private investors. What private investors spend their money on is not my problem.

Only 30% population will be forced onto FTTN. Big woop. They can wait for the next phase.

5g will happen as mobile data is a large revenue stream for telecom companies. No need for government intervention.

Yeah, and we currently have to pay like $100 for like 6gig of 4g... can't wait for telstra provided 5g :P

1) It's 38%, you quoted it yourself

2) stop trying to make it sound like 70% is getting the good stuff by omitting percentages.

3) what happens if the private sector doesn't fund it?

1) 38% - not all will be kilometres from node etc

2) FTTP & HPC technology is pretty good.

3) Considering government has funded half the investment for a service far greater than today's speeds & no other options on the table - don't see why people won't jump on board to invest.

I might be joining you guys Leigh and Adam on two wheels! Maybe..

I don't do the two wheel thing anymore

Not saying I'll never get back into it

But too many crashes close to home

Feel it's only a matter of time and love life too much to risk it when there's plenty of fun without that risk or significantly lesser risk

Sure is unbeatable fun for the first 3 months of Ls though

Yeah and I wasn't exactly an angel on a bike either; should have gotten to the track much sooner instead of cooking brakes on the mountain passes at 1am.

I think everyone should get their Ls though, it's a great lesson in fragility on the road and awareness of surroundings especially motorbikes.

I've had my Ls for a year now, get off restrictions next month. Have been riding in the dirt all this time. Am just getting the last pieces of gear so I can take my dads GS500F for a few rides. But an opportunity has popped up to buy an unregistered Ninja 636 that I'm thinking of jumping at because cheap as chipzzzz

More lulz less complaining pls

Never shot a gun in my life, going to a range to try 13 of them today

Wish me luck

You'll surprise yourself with how good you are at it

Oh wait you're not in Australia...you'll be using big calibres and be average at it lol

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
