I meant to say one vs one, or RAID vs RAID (of same level). Then SCSI will fly.

Yeah you should do that, seperate the parts & sell or keep your hard drives for your next upgrade? Man if only your SCSI hard drives where bigger (at least 80Gb) I would buy them, a 10k/15k rpm SCSI drive sh*ts all over any SATA II HDs for raw speed.

$300 - $400 I'm guessing. The SCSI hard drives & controllers bumps it up a bit since those are sever grade stuff & still cost a bit today. PC values falls faster than cars . My $1.4k build now is worth like ~$150 Also depends on who you sell it off to (if you catch my drift... ) I had a family friend who paid $1.5k for a Pentium 2 laptop about a year ago... enough said.

I would just go with a cheaper Jap alternative, probably a Camry or Accord. 3 series aren't the bottom of the BMWs but the 318is sure are the bottom of the 3's range. I guess I probably wouldn't hate them as much if it weren't for the constant family friend's trying to show off their "new" BMWs (318is) & trying to show that they now belong to the rich group. It would be a different story if they had 7xxs. I wouldn't mind having a 760 myself, that thing is massive & good at rubbing it in their faces.

Totally true. Many of my family friends (all asian) all have 318is & they think they are in the "rich group" coz they drive BMWs. Even had one of them come & say (when they 1st bought their 2nd hand 318) "After you drive a BMW you never want to drive a Jap car again... I was like "yeah right..." Maybe if it were a top end model then I might think about it (probably not) but as far as your crappy 318 goes I pick my R33 over it anyday heck I even pick my family's Camry (if I wanted a normal not overprice sedan) over that POS.

I never even used the radio ever since I got my car, its always on my 21 track CD all the time.

Well this sucks... To the OP sorry to hear about all that, hope it goes well for you. How can your steering wheel be defected? Next time they probably pick some more lame excuses, like your AC isn't working = your car is defected coz it too hot in the car which could lead to you getting dizzy & crash... or your radio is not working = your car is defected coz you can't hear their constant propagandas on Hoons, so you will probably speed more & crash... So far WA cops aren't that bad (at least from my experience), no cops have bothered me with my stock R33... yet. Was driving on freeway @ 75km/h (in 80 zone) saw a cop aim his speed gun at me & he look disappointed afterwards . Then there were times when a cop car would follow me around, while I was still driving my skyline like my family's Camry (5km/h under limit) after a while they get tired and would overtake & speed off, may be I should report him for speeding . So are POD's illegal now? I was thinking of getting one to get that suction sound, but after hearing this, maybe I should just use my money & get a computer upgrade for my gaming rig instead, cops can't fine me for that... or can they?

R33 & R34 are my favorite ones. R32's looks a bit too "old" styled... While the new R35 reminds me of the V35 which in turn reminds me of the the 350z which I don't really like the look of... Also the another thing I noticed from the conversations I had (with none skyline owners). One of the main reasons they don't like the 33 seems to be that they think its too "common" / "theres too many of them on the streets". If I wanted a uncommon car I probably could even go for one of those 0.7L smart cars. Anyone driven one of those? I can only image that they accelerate even slower than my family's Camry...

I noticed a similar thing in my car as well... The right side (the side closest to the exhaust pipe) is a bit higher than the left, although the 2 front ones are about the same (although I used a crappy ruler to measure it so it could be off a bit). Good luck with the fixing keep us informed on how you go, once I have money I probably get my mechanic to fix it too...

I just don't like the entire "350z-look-a-like" bodies of current Nissian cars. That body reminds me of an over grown Volkswagen Beetle; a Rhinoceros beetle.

A large Mercedes Benz Sedan (now the S class, used to be C class at that time I think...). I first became interested in cars way back in primary school, and the person who got me interested in cars was my grandfather & the Mercedes was his favorite car. So it was mine too at that time. (now its around 2nd-3nd place after the skylines, tied with the BMW 7xxs).

If you are not a ricer then I would go with white or silver, nice & simple. Plus car gets less hot under sun light. I think I can cook eggs on my R33's Grey bonnet in summer .

Thats a nice car, my 2nd favourite series of cars after the skylines. Makes a good car for driving to my family friends parties & show off the 7xx to the cheaper 318s they all have. :laughing-smiley-014:

PS3 has more powerful hardware compared to 360. Thats about the only good thing I can think about it atm... Don't think I have seen mod chips for PS3, but theres plenty of them for 360. Probably go with 360 much cheaper with mod chips & stuff. What TV do the people have that you are giving the present to? You won't see any good graphics if you are still using an old CRT (like me ) TV. As for HD DVD vs BRD, I will stick with my trusty DVDs thank you.

Playing: On PC: -Fear extraction point (PC) -Crysis Demo (PC) -COD 4 (PC, stuck coz of sound bug X_X) Probably also try Bio-shock once I get an upgrade, currently my video card don't have SM 3.0 support which is required to play the game (suckx). On others: -Bleach heat of the soul 4 (PSP) -Bleach blade battlers 2 (PS2) -Resident evil 2 (PSX on PSP) -Resident evil 3 (PSX on PSP) -Resident evil Code Veronica X (PS2) -Resident evil gun survivor 2 (PS2) Yep I'm resident evil fan (games only, the movies are gay)

Mine is around there too. Don't think I have seen my raising up to 1/2 yet, then again, I don't rev much; most gear changes are done at ~2500-3000rpm.

For me, my 5 vehicles would be: 1) Auto R34 GT-T (normal car) 2) BMW 760 (family mover car & showing off to family friend's who only have 318s) 3) Mercedes-Benz S 65L AMG (same as above + a good high powered family sedan) 4) One of those HR trucks (always wanted to drive one of those...) 5) A modern Tank (again, always wanted to drive one of those)

Name: George Nicks: Mr X; Mr X CRH; Mayuri Krab & bunch of others... D.O.B: 28th Feb 1987 D.O.D: Some time in the near future... I drive a: R33 GTS-T Used to drive: 91 VN Commodore (mum's old car that's never had a proper full service... ) I study: Computer System Engineering at Curtin. Cruise/event attendance rate: None Music taste: Old Chinese songs (from my parents era...) + random songs I get from the net & anime Hobbies: Video games; mainly the RE series, Computers, Cars, Animes and keeping my gold fish Might be of use contacting me for: eerr... general tips on setting up a fish tank & goldfish care?

Drive my car just the same as the family car (05 V6 Camry) that is: -Normal acceleration -Auto changes gears at around 2.5k to 3k rpm -At or ~2km/h below speed limit -Always stop on yellow light unless past the safe stopping distance. In other words I drive like my parents, enough said... Only thing different with the R33 compared to the Camry is now that overtaking the odd truck (who doesn't want you to overtake) is a lot faster
