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.

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

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

      Well it does have a motor with the same DNA as an Accord V6 motor. The J30A is a successor to the Tiger rice cooker C32A motor found in those cars.

      R34 Wheel Alignment Specs

      By silviaz · Posted

      When going to a suspension shop should I send them the default nissan settings or just let them do their own thing? I ask this because I have aftermarket rear camber arms and my car is lowered a bit (front end is basically stock after I change to those nismo bushes)

      Squeaky bushes

      By silviaz · Posted

      Ok sounds good, thanks for your help. Hopefully if I end up changing it to the nismo bushes I don't get that veering issue. I don't think there's a point in lubing up these bushes again. Weird that it it makes just as much noise with all the grease inside it versus without grease prior to removal. Bizarre.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, you don't need camber bushes on stock arms to make a car drive straight unless it's got another problem. F'rigsample, slide the thing into a kerb, bend the front subframe mounts a little....subframe is now twisted, shifted or otherwise in the wrong spot...and you need to do funky stuff with the wheel alignment to get it to drive straight. Maybe a little more caster on one side, or a little more camber. FWIW, I can have my camber off side to side by a half a degree or more, and either way, so more one side, or more on the other, and the car doesn't really want to pull to one side. It will definitely ride road camber differently, and want to track uphill (ie, towards the centreline when on the LHS of a normal crowned piece of road, like it should) or want to roll downhill (which it really shouldn't). But on fairly flat road surfaces, like the middle of a 3 or 4 lane motorway, a half a degree either way doesn't make a lot of difference. I sometimes do quite a few miles with my wheel alignment messed up, because I don't always get a chance to set it right again after a serious dismantling, before I have to drive it to work again. Like, a whole week's worth of daily shuffle.
