as the topis says, does anyone use vodafone outside of brissy/goldcoast? what is the reception like? i am looking at changing to a vodafone plan but want to know what the reception is like. i am currently with telstra on a 3g plan and the reception is ok. will it be similar? i am in gympie, so some places in town you will lose recption due to the hills.

Telstra is the only provider that has given me good coverage in regional QLD...

As stated in the wasteland thread I found no other service out near Dalby or on the highway between Toowoomba and Warick other than Telstra...

I get coverage all the way to Hervey Bay with my Telstra 3G work phone, yet my personal phone drops out everywhere...

the missus is still on the old gsm with optus and she gets the same reception as my telstra 3g, as gympie has no actual 3g reception (only brisbane and the gold coast has acutal 3g reception in qld, the other regions revert back to gsm)

actually at times she gets better reception than me. at the shop in the main street of gympie i get little reception inside the shop but she gets full. and other people on telstra have the same problem.

i think it should be ok, but i would still like a bit more feedback. i am also going to go to the phone shop and ask them. they do telstra and optus as well as vodafone so i should get an honest answer..... if they actually have any idea that is.

my g/f has vodaphone here in rocky (in a flat in the city) and reception is crap. Another vote for optus, at our place i get full reception she has none!

      They usually get made by hand as part of any such swap.

      Was planning on getting an R35 MAF and the adapter, should this be okay? Also any idea where I could get my hands on an intake pipe?

      I mean yes, if you're starting from scratch on an unknown engine yes you don't need to be doing all kinds of math in the background but if you're doing relatively minor changes like AFM + injectors + boost up with some aftermarket turbos it takes quite a bit of math if you want to do something like maintain OEM fuel + timing tables but compressed and then a bit more load scale up top. I think I've spent too much time working on big engineering nightmares though so I'm a big fan of trying to constrain the scope of whatever work I'm doing as much as possible and trying to get it right before moving on. For example, a local owner just did the usual E85 + single turbo conversion to his R32 GTR and nearly burned his car to the ground doing some spirited driving up the local mountains. Turbine is unshielded and too close to the hood insulation. It's tough to balance "just get the project done" and "seemingly small details can cause massive setbacks I'm not willing to deal with".

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      No idea about Neil's steering wheel, but I have the same behaviour in the Stagea. I doubt it has ever been messed with so might be normal. Indicating to turn right at a roundabout and correcting even a little bit to the left to go around will cancel the indicator. Never considered it an issue other than it being a bit odd.

      Does anyone know if this is off centered? Looks like it, when I indicate to go right, but turn my steering wheel slightly left it cancels (was always like that even before I started messing around with it) was wondering if anyone else has the same issue?
