Im not saying where I work. But I dont work at Amnet.

Seriously why would you need a faster speed than 8MBps?

What will allow you to use up your connection?

Almost any FTP, download source, etc will normally cap out around 50k.

Thats 512k speeds.

Theres so little incentive to increase your speeds beyond 1.5MB unless you share your connection with others in the house. Even most torrents at the best of times I get 50k /sec as your waiting in queues and I refuse to use open ones like kazaa instead sticking to secure ones, because you always end up getting the wrong thins (tards rename it), the companies whos material it is trace it, quality sucks so many bad reasons not to use it.

I *was* with Amnet and I had 8/1 when I was in East Perth.

I was regularly getting 800k/s off international and local torrent files (linux isos of course)

The upload speed was excellent as well, being able to keep my ratio (for linux iso sharing of course) with the 100k/s upload speeds.

I also ran two web sites off the link and knowing that I could still easily get linux isos down at 600k/s and upload at 60k/s without affecting my web sites performance was a bonus!

people always say why do you need more speed...

they are the people with slow internet. haah

torrents have no max speed... faster internet = faster torrents.

iinet 24mbit is the best internet in perth, hands down.

But at what cost.

If you want to get the cheep deal you have to transfer all of your home phone services to them as with other isp's you don't.

I am with Amnet and I have a 8/1 connection and I have not found any international site that I can flood my connection with except local sites (when downloading Linux files of course).

There are plenty of other isp's out there all you have to do is look for them.

A good place to start is Wingepool http://www.whirlpool.net.au as previously mentioned but as always it comes down to how much you want to pay a month.

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.

      Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
