Just had some dero sounding kid offer me 2k and then explain why 2k is a good offer..

How did he explained that his offer is a good offer?

I'm very curious.

something along the lines of,

'I'll give you $2k for your car...it's a good offer because I've read your posts about all the problems you've had with it, and I know you NEED to sell it because you aren't allowed to drive it, and no one else seems to be buying it, so I'll give you $2k to take it off your hands'

rb20s are so damn gutless off boost..

never buying another rb20 r32.. and if i do, rip it out and go 25

lol start blaming your automatic box first champ. Learn to drive manual and the rb20 can be managed. Else go buy an automatic commodore, perfect car for you.

lol it went

would you take 2k?

me: no thanks man

guy: ohh cmon, 2k cash. its been forsale for like a week and its on ebay for a dollar..

me: errr with a reserve...

guy: yeah i can get a VX commo for 7k.. think about the 2k

me: okay.. you can leave 2k deposit and come up with 5k on pickup?

tooooot tooooot toooot

think he got mad lol

lolwut?

anyone know if the VSS on a 34 gtt is on the gearbox or on the diff?

so far ive had 4 trade offers. 3 of em for vy ss's and got 1 few days ago for a bmw 523i 1996 and 1K my way

thinking of just dropping the price to something ridiculous and be done with it

I have a 26 and a 20 with GT2860rs and tbh the 20 doesn't have that much less torque down low especially with the delicious torque converter. Maybe your 20 just needs some servicing?

This man is correct despite his love for 32 sedans*

*not that anything is wrong with 32 sedans

doubt it.

pats right, its the auto box

nick- you want a v35 sedan?

Can't resist replying.. sorry for nerd speak :P.

The government investment to the NBN is capped at $26-27 billion dollars. Furthermore, this is an investment, not a direct cost.. as in, Australian's stand to get this money returned, with a net cost to the public of 0 dollars. The NBN is not a government department, Conroy has no say in it's day to day running, the most he really has to do with it is the legislation that goes through parliament. Mike Quigley is the guy who is behind the NBN and he's one of the most respected and experienced people, not incompetent like both sides of politics. "Labor" (note the lack of a u) aren't rolling out the nbn, the NBN company is, the exact same people the Liberal broadband plan was going to use. It was listed in the policy, the exact same people that Labor are using, are the same the Liberals wanted to use.

Not even sure where to start with this.. Most obviously, most of my traffic is volume limited, not latency driven. Are you aware in other parts of the world there is no 'cap' on downloads? Sure pwning noobs with 10ms ping is wonderful for stroking your ego but not the reason the internet gets investment. The NBN stands to greatly improve bandwidth for Australian customers making currently impossible tasks like TVonDemand (which is very popular in the US with my friends over there) achievable. It also opens up entirely new uses for the internet which in Australia we don't even think of. In any case most people are connected to adsl, and fibre does actually have a lower latency than adsl by a fairly good margin. A lot of the copper in Australia is so old that it needs to be replaced some of it is over 50 years old, there are stories of telstra techs trying to pick up copper cables and starts to crumble in their hands from age. Fibre speeds can be upgraded by replacing the hardware on either side of the connection, the fibre doesn't need to be pulled out to increase speeds. The speeds fibre will be able to reach in the future may even reach terabytes, all without having to replace the fibre, just the hardware.

No idea where you got that latency number from but i'm pretty sure we haven't broken the laws of physics just yet captain. I'd love to know though, cause having a latency half the time it takes for light to go to the US and back is pretty cool :).

Wireless is a last resort, there is FOUR HUNDRED TIMES the spectrum available in the infra-red portion of the electromagnetic spectrum used for fibre optics than there is in all of the radio frequency spectrum. That's just a fact of physics where the frequencies used for infra-red are many orders of magnitude greater than radio waves and subsequently there is far more spectrum bandwidth available. Only ultra-violet, x-rays, gamma rays etc have a spectrum advantage over infra-red fibre optics, but they have a nasty property of being ionising which destroys much of the matter that tries to contain them assuming you can contain them at all.

One of the key draw cards for the NBN is that Telstra IS GOING to be split. They have done such a bad job of supply Australia with decent backhaul that it is now significantly financially cheaper to destroy its monopoly by creating a new network :S. Thanks Mr Howard.

The Tasmanian NBN rollout so far has actually come out well UNDER budget.

Ps. yup Paul :). Although it is worth noting the NBN stands to greatly improve network access in Major Centres as well as regional.

TL;DR

Fibre optic is win? Everyone knew that :P

    • Maybe but doubt it, when I jacked it up it was creaking in the j arm again. The inners are all good, I inspected them. Remember that also it did fix the problem but temporarily.
    • Could be the other bushes. The inners.
    • Once you lose the adjustable bushes, you have almost no adjustment at the front for anything that matters. You can only wind so master caster at the front, and ~7° is fine. You won't have choice of front camber. If you only have rear camber arms (ie, do not also have adjustable upper tension arms), you shouldn't change their length very much, because you will introduce bump steer. And, you will struggle to find a workshop that will be capable of doing all the adjustment work necessary to simultaneously achieve a decent rear camber number, get the toe right, and minimise bump steer. I would guess there's probably 8 hours of work there. So, stockish rear camber is fine. Although, keep in mind, that stock camber, by number value, does not mean stock arm length when the car is lowered. You will need to lengthen the RUCA to get back to stockish values and that will require the tension arm to be lengthened a little also. Without any other guidance, any change made to the RUCA should have the 2/3 of the same change made on the tension arm. But that is only a rough rule of thumb and the relationship might not remain linear across a wide range of adjustments. And it might not also be as close to minimum bump steer as you could achieve if you did the bump steer measurement and adjustment properly.
