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.

      Pillar gauges

      By MBS206 路 Posted

      See, that button sounds like perfection Duncan! My eyes really don't like light shining at them from a dash when I'm driving. Being part red colourblind, I've found for most cars that I can change colours on, I set everything to red, so my eyes see the elast amount of colour! I miss normal gauges in cars

      bro, knowing the Japanese in  the 90's, i wouldn't be surprised if they shared components across their model lineup.

      By Kapr 路 Posted

      Maaaan so many "little" things  i rly hope my old RB20 would be "ok" and not too bad. I try to learn what and what not do i need. I look at crossmember at it looks different...even parts numbers are different. Wiring and all that i rly do not know...yeah someone mentioned the speedo thing. On that yoke clip. I rly do not know what can and cant be done "custom" so that is why iam asking to know and not be suprised 馃檪  I know what it looks like

      By GTSBoy 路 Posted

      Oh, there's also the gearbox crossmember which will probably be different between the small box and the big box, and the wiring loom will probably need to be modified, because the plugs for the switches etc, will probably be different. And I think the speedo on the small box R34s is from somwhere stupid, like the diff, possibly, so you'd need to work out what needs to be done about that (assuming it is different). I think the thing you need to realise is that the front end of that yoke is a large hollow tube with splines on the inside that mates with the splines on the box's output shaft. It is a dedicated thing - not available "aftermarket". They were made to suit that box, by the car's OEM.
