  1. billion ftw
  2. Ditch the tein HA and get a set of Bilstein with matched springs ....like the ones SK is selling (no plug) they are the best
  3. going wider wont mean more traction...
  4. castrol saf-xa is teh goods will be filling me nismo 2 way with it soon as i get around to it
  5. +1
  6. This has been asked a few times in the maint. section. Rear seal uses just a generic commo seal, so is cheapish from any windscreen place. Nissan for the door seals u are looking around $200 for rubbers each, not including the hard bits around the outer if u want those. Nissan for the front is a kit for a whole u are probably looking around $400...
  7. I find that it doesnt have any prblems at all, and it actually runs faster than xp doing stuff in windows. Of course if u have a 3 yo pc u will have problems, but its made for the next gex (dx10) equipment, so all drivers and patches arnt fully sorted. Not really vistas fault for lack of support atm... Id buy an A/M psu as well...wouldnt trust one that came with a case, even if it is antec generic one. Same for gigabyte mobos...
  8. Pfft, legal solution = Borrow a Vista ultimate copy. Then do trial period, which can be extended for legal 3 month. + do http://windowssecrets.com/comp/070315/#story1 This allows 12 months of Vista trial method. Microsoft have it listed on their website as well, so it is legal.
  9. nintek were cheap less than 12 months ago. But since then yer things seem to have gone backwards....what do u expect from over the westcoast for postage?
  10. lol..Cubes is kidding... It was a while ago now, so can t remember the exact model. From memory the board he ended up getting was P5ND2 from scorptec. I bought my mobo, ram, lcd, and keyboard from Scorptec and in the end thats who my mate did too. They were cheaper than local even with postage.... Paully, just go in and ask for pricing on lower model asus mobo and see if she has an answer for ya...
  11. Yer big fella is the manager. He is a top guy, gave me a great discount the week before hand when i spend a few hundred in there. Thats why i took my mate back in there. Unfortunatly when we went back and the sales lady nodded in our direction, she obviously "set the scene" of us being there previous and he wasnt that helpful as he was less than a week ago. I emailed the IT warehouse people of how rude she was, and sent a detailed description, but nothing happened, and shes still there. Its probably up to the manager of who he has employed there, and shes a complete knobber. Funny thing was ive seen her do it to a customer a month or so before hand when i was there buying an ethernet cable. Grey haired pensioner comes in and asks for a cd burner, and she just kept telling him he can buy a dvd burner for the same price, but he needs at least a 1000Mhz processor to run it....seriously wtf?? The old guy just wanted a cd burner, but she kept pushing her point till the old guy walked out looking confused and pissed off...
  12. Im with Cubes. I always know what i want before going to a shop anyway. I went with a mate to IT Warehouse @ ttp to buy him a few parts for a system id researched for him for a few weeks to find out what his budget and needs were. Id bought a few parts there myself from the manager a week before and he gave me a great deal, so i thought id do them a favour expecting the same service i received, so took him there. Sales lady instead we spoke to basically didnt listen to a word i was saying...conversation went along the lines of Me - "I need a few prices on some parts" Sales - "Ok, what do u need?" "ok, firstly a motherboard, and i want the..." Lady walk off to the shelf grabbing a few gigabit boxes... "Ok, here we have this.." "No, im after a specific model, this one" I give her the Asus model, and part number "why would u want that model, this one is much better and only a bit more expensive" "because its all we need" - the mobo we needed didnt have firewire, and a few other options my mate didnt need. Saleslady - "but thats like buying a Ford. One has a turbo and aircon, the other is about the same price, but doesnt have the options" Me - "What has that got to do with us asking for a price on a specific mobo??" Saleslady at this point seems confused, and says "ok, what do u want then?" I say Asus, model XXX She walks back to the shelf, saying "I personally wouldnt touch Asus with a 20Ft pole." so we could hear it... Now me and my mate start getting pissed off. This being the 2nd shop now that has refused just to give a quote on parts we want. We now ask for a price on an intel d820 dual core. She proceeds to input the highest model chip. I ask her what price, she says over $400...I ask no, we want the 820. Finally she puts in what chip he wants. Now finally i cracked. She made some other smart arse comment here, and i say "How hard is it to come into a pc store, and get a f**king price on parts we want without u trying to sell us what U want in a pc?" She gets pissed off too, and then says nothing asking what else we require. I then say ram. She gets a smartarse look on her face now, and asks "is that ddr1, or ddr2?" epxecting me to say wtf...I simply reply ddr2 owing to the fact the mobo we chose only takes ddr2 and gave her a pissed off look... Now after all this was done, i ask if the manager was in i spoke to less than a week before, and she says no. I say ok i'll come back and speak to him when hes in, so she prints off the "quote" we asked for. Now when i was in and asked the same thing for myself the week before the manager, gave a discount for a bulk sale. This lady said she would do the same. Quote comes out and yes its RRP on everything + inflated prices. We leave. Come back the next few days and as we enter the store we see the stupid sales lady lean to the manager and say a comment to him nodding in our direction. We then walk out and spend the money elsewhere... Moral of the story is - Deal only with stores who expect u to know what u want, and one who doesnt try sell me shit i dont want or need. And only deal with managers. And never go to IT warehouse @ ttp.
  13. i'll be upgrading to the xfx 8800gts soon. i'll sell my 7900gt then upgrade afterwards to dx10. Might wait to see if prices drop anymore in a month or so...not really worth upgrading till near december when the dx10 games start coming in like crysis.
  14. Its not the line up id be worried about...its the reason why there would be a line up is more why id stay away...
  15. hate to think what the line up to get into the public toilets would be like.... stay away.....or pee in a bottle
  16. well u get in it then explain to your mates that u had a gerbil in yer arse without sounding weird...
  17. 3lit3 - would u happen to know what the (aftermarket) part numbers are for bearings for a rb25 box? I want to slap a set of bearings in mine, and was wondering cost of bearings from cbc or the like...
  18. i wasnt giving anyone a lesson. People come on here and talk **** like Of course this has nothing to do with the fact hes being a knobber on a public street. Would u post up here if some p plater came down your street and lost it into your car parked out front of your house, purely because he was doing snakeys @ 70km/h out front of your house? Whose fault is it....the rains?
  19. Fact is he is on a public road, and should have had more sense period.
  20. cat temp sensor light acts as the engine check light in r33's. If u have a pfc it is used as a knock sensor warning (shown as the engine check light in 33's) as well.
  21. Yes, but whats the point of having defectable items, that can be picked on as soon as you leave the door? If the ic piping is illegal, then fix it, and stay out of regency for good. Its not both. 100mm minimun clearance to the ground for the lowest point of the car, and then there is a set height from the centre of the wheel to the wheel arch. There is also an eye brow height as well it think.
  22. AAA supply mandrel bends to all other exhaust shops in SA. They also fit
  23. v.nice Im always on the lookout for my project car - lc gtr with a fuel inj. 5lt out of a late model commy. Sprayed in black. Always wanted to do it, and came close a few years ago as i found an origional bathurst gtr shell in melb, just never got over there to buy it. Got a soft spot for the torries...soo damn rare now. Hard to find one that has matching plates too...
  24. ive seen em trash a car to find hidden / modified items, so dont think they are all stupid. Including ripping the carpet up a little, pulling out kickplates, emptying gloveboxes onto the floor etc etc...
  25. yes they probably will check everywhere and anywhere, including pilling off the ecu kick plate to see if its aftermarket. Dont expect to come through first time and u will be ok. U will be suprised what they are most likely to pick on. Inspection tends to take as long as they feel like being picky.
