hey guys, ewan ed etc....

im finally getting broadband *hushed awe* im getting optusnet. basically my dad is with optus with everything else so we get free installation.

however he's not forking out the extra $30 per month for unlimited downloads. now im lead to beleive that this will be sh*t because i'll reach my d/l limit in about a day? :spew:

so whats the story, how bad will it be? cause theres pretty much no way he's going to pay for unlimited.

hahaha

heres a tip... why dont you fork out the extra $30 and PRESTO!!!! unlimited downloads... here we come!

but on a serious note... depends on how much you use the net ... but i would just pay that 30 bucks then you have no worries... wats your limit now??

200mb? if it is then it will go in a day or so... for me anyway.... but if you dont d/l too much you can always check your usage metre... and you should be able to upgrade your plan anytime aswell...

Veilside R33 i am in the exact same problem, 200mb per month is not fun. I could spend the extra $30 for unlimited downloads but i prefer to save up for something better in the future.

Let your dad use the internet during the 28.8kbps cap, tell him about the cheap international calls he could make with VOIP, the webcam convos he could do with friends/family overseas? and the wide range of international web radios he could listen to. All these use up a lot of bandwidth and if you get him hooked on any one of them, say hello to unlimited cable :P

If he still disagrees get unlimited cable. I have already used up 5mb in 30minutes by talking on MSN and viewing this forum.

A good program to monitor your optus usage is located here: http://optus.larcos.com.au

Try the 200mb limit for one month and if your not happy just upgrade.

i pay $55 a month for 512/128kbps ADSL with unlimited download, no AUP and no rolling download limit thingies. I get throttled to 128kbps download during business hours (8am to 6pm, weekdays) but I'm never at home at that time, so I don't really care, besides, my leeching keeps goin at 128 and come 6 o clock goes back to 512. Its awesome... thru Pacific internet which has had virtually no downtime and the quickest support line of any ISP i've been or worked at :P

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!?
