I got nothing but praise for Internodes customer service and billing/sales. Now that i have an NBN box installed i would switch back to them in a heartbeat
Though guy at work is trying to convince me MyRepublic's $60 high speed NBn unlimited plan is the way to go

Search whirlpool for CVC for each isp. That's what you are paying for now as it's all running on the same infrastructure.
Car washing stuff. OMG got onto a telstra tech that know's what he's talking about :O 

 

Tier 1 is offshore. Tier 2/3 are onshore to deal with any fall-outs/exceptions/complaints 

In the case of billing disputes or customer complaints where you are ready to walk most banks/isp/telco's have a Business Saves team which are responsible for convincing potential leavers to stay. They usually have more authority to provide compensation/escalations. To get transferred through to them however requires you to trigger some keywords/questions to validate your intention to move.

Pretty sure the G6E T has the same engine and gearbox, but no LSD and softer suspension?

2300kg is an impressive tow weight, compared to 1600 for most commodores unless you get a wagon and calais

Pretty much yeah just the diff.

I THINK even the suspension is the same. 

The 6 speed auto is a great gearbox, and as you said has good towing weight. 

Don't forget they all use 5x114.3 too so you can wack on some spare JDM wheels yo. if you ever need/want to. 

How much you looking to spend? I'll keep my eye on the club fg group..

Chasing a Mk2 for ~$25-28... Specd up interior is a requirement now that I've looked into the differences you mentioned.

I'm alright with some mild mods as long as they're subtle and it comes with a RWC.

Yeh that'll get you a nice mark2, the touch screen is a nice touch, they have the projector style head lights too.

Must get leather though, as all the door trims etc look wayyy better. 

Mark2 look alright in white, those are stock wheels too

belly and titty fats being fair stubborn though.
 

Do falcons without upgraded sound system still have room to install an aftermarket sub? Plenty of gear to fit falcons floating around. Im sure itd be cheaper than factory options, probably no difference if secondhand.

 

Got done speeding in the domain tunnel when it was at 60km/h. Cameras adjust with speed, eh? well there ya go. Gonna try for the good behavior letter and hope it lets me off. Haven't had an offense in around 3 years I think.

You broke the speed limit, why do you think you should get off

one of my employees got done for a high level drink driving offence in sydney on new years, plead guilty and lost his license for 12 months.
believing it only affects sydney, continued driving and got picked up in a set up, then got caught again the next day.
hes still driving... and reckons 12 months is too harsh.
well, wait till court day mate... i reckon hes gonna cop an extra year for the two unlicensed driving offenses as well.

I think the standard sound system doesn't have tweeter or sub grills in the pillars / parcel shelf, and also no amp. 

Mines premium has the 2 front 2 back, sub in parcel shelf, amp, and 2 tweeters up front. I'm sure you could fit your own stuff but imo the premium sound is fine if you find the right car. Took me a while to find a GS fully optioned already at a showroom in black, finally found one and bought it 

Cannot stress enough how bad the cloth interior vs leather looks though. 

Simon, try find a cheap GS 5.0l? :P nothing good on carsales at the moment though

standard system sucks massivly, I've repalced them all with 6inch co axials in front and 6x9 at rear, much improved (not much space for a sub in the cabin...)

 

also added the aux connection as the radio in the BA has shocking reception, thus the external antenna in the FG

    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers) Replacement of the Valve body (if you removed it) is the "reverse of assembly". Thread the electrical socket back up through the trans case, hold the valve body up and put in the bolts you removed, with the correct lengths in the correct locations Torque for the bolts in 8Nm only so I hope you have that torque wrench handy (it feels really loose). Plug the output speed sensor back in and clip the wiring into the 2 clips, replace the spring clip on the TCM socket and plug it back into the car loom. For the pan, the workshop manual states the following order: Again, the torque is 8Nm only.
