Love the technicolour yawn colour

The only time I have seen that colour before was when an old cat of ours decided to spend the day chewing up a highlighter and later ate an arseload of grass then threw it all up on the living room floor.

That MX6 is Fresh. As. Fk.

meh, not unless the price is right with Virgin. i still dont think their voicemail is a free service (or comes out of your cap) and I used to get charged extra for MMS because it wasnt included (either that or 1300 numbers or something). its was over 2 years ago though. Their online hub this is pretty average. took over 2 days to update online usage.

still happy with internode here for $20 a month.

Internode is an Optus reseller if I recall correctly?

There are some Telstra Resellers out there like Aldi, but I'm pretty sure that all data transfer is limited to 3G instead of 4G or 4GX, which is very noticeable when I ran side by side tests with a friends phone vs mine.... But yeah... currently paying $85/month for my plan with Telstra with a Galaxy S6 and 3.5GB of data... the same could be had much cheaper with other providers, but noone but Telstra has this sort of reception Australia wide. Got so sick of Optus when I was with them a few years back

Optus rarely give me problems with reception

Will be switching plan soon, contract just expired so will go month to month until...new iPhone comes out...

inb4 everyone loses their minds

yeah I'm skeptical of any of these resellers.. read some bad stuff online of phones getting stuck in SOS etc.

might just have to stick with optus / telstra, the shit thing is apparently you can't bundle your telstra internet and mobile plan to save some cash.. their response was 'oh yes we can add it to the same bill' lol

"Limiting the duties of train drivers is at the heart of Metro's plan. All but a few drivers would be restricted to driving on one of the five new railway networks.

It would reduce the level of training required to qualify as a driver and that would pave the way for an influx of lower-paid drivers to operate trains, according to the union."

What, you mean they wouldn't be getting close to $100k for nothing anymore?

Oh noes

    • Nissan/Pitwork is fine stuff. HKS is just marketing wank. I personally wouldn't do the idler if it is already new. If it looks and feels fine, it is fine. But as D says - it's cheap to add it to the job. The water pump ditto. Even more so. If it show no signs of problems, then it is nearly new - leave it.
    • 1. I can't see a location on your profile but you do mention GBP so I'll assume you are in UK. In Australia, CBC make a timing belt kit with the gears and idler and tension bearing and that is what I use without any problems. I'm sure OEM or HKS are also fine but I wouldn't pay extra for HKS over anything else. 2. Yes, I would always change the idler and tensioner and the stud and bolt that hold them in. Assuming they were all done last time it is highly unlikely you would have a problem, but they are very cheap to add to the job considering the time it will take anyway.  3. No, you don't need to lock them as such (I think that is more for engines without timing marks), but you should make sure they move as little as possible once the belt is off as you can hit pistons on valves if they move too far. As always, make sure you line it all up to top dead centre with the timing marks aligned before you take the old belt off.

    • Hey everyone,   I’m looking for some advice on replacing the timing belt on my RB25DET Neo-powered 1998 Skyline. The engine was fully built about five years ago, including a fresh timing belt, water pump, and other essentials. However, since then, the car has only covered around 2,000–3,000 miles. It’s currently making around 650hp.   Even though the mileage is low, I know timing belts have a time-based lifespan too, and most recommendations suggest changing them every five to six years or 50,000 miles. Since I’m at that time mark, I’d rather not take any risks and plan to swap it out soon.   A few things I’d like to hear opinions on: 1. What’s the best belt for this setup? Should I go with an OEM Nissan belt, or is the HKS fine-tune a better choice given the power level? 2. Would you bother replacing the idler pulley and tensioner at the same time, or only if they show wear? 3. When swapping the belt, is it necessary to lock the cam and crank gears in place, or is lining up the timing marks enough? I’ve seen different approaches, and I want to make sure I do it right.   The water pump was changed with the rebuild and isn’t run off the timing belt, so I don’t see a need to replace it again. I just want to make sure I approach this the right way.   Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks!
