PM-R33, will the end result look something like the following?? I'm just trying to gauge things so i can see if this is something i'd go with. I'm imaging the the black around the projector would be moulded/vacuum formed not flush up against the glass... like as follows (different car obviously)... that about right??

put me down for two in the next gb. anyone know if r33's and v35's have the same size plugs?

pretty interested on a set for an S1 depending on cost and when you think they'll be ready.

but it doesnt have the s3 headlights

got headlights?? if so what condition are they in (any pics) ? and how much do you want for them?

any s1 headlights?? if so what condition are they in?

mechanically, i believe the s3 maybe s2 had a slightly revised plenum, no need for a spacer. Electronically, different dash computer, head lights and tail lights, electronic pop up screen (press button goes up, press button goes down) bluetooth etc Interior, different gear stick boot for auto's (leather covered not plastic slidy thing). Now can anyone tell me anything about the "voice contro" button i have on my s3 steering wheel.... its screaming to be used.

headlights, what series, what condition and how much?

headlights?? got them and if so what nick are they in?

or poor mans seat of the pants approach. Give it a bootful in low gear to 4k rpm with vct plugged, ensure you stay below the speed limit. step 2. Unplug vct and repeat, if run two feels like arse... vct is working ok in run one. if they feel the same... vct is broken

any headlights??

yes, yes you did

You obviously asked so you could accompany them, so yes you are endorsing it. Organising or participating... its all the same.

A suggestion, forget your late night drifts, the club doesnt endorse it, any half intelligent member doesnt do it and you'd do best to avoid it aswell. As mentioned, go to texi, smoke it up there, trust me it will be more fun than your fullleh hectik screet dreeft.

Drobo... their network storage solution aint bad... takes up to 10TB and is redundant... pricy tho.

Ahhh well theres your problem... your trying to integrate linux into osx... One thing i will step up and agree on 100%, OSX is not what i'd use if i wanted to run enterprise style linux software. yes i can do it, but its not nice. Yes you could whack an httpd instance on there and get it to server mail and do a few novel things, but i wouldnt use it to develop on or as a facsimile of a linux machine. When it comes to working with linux, being able to xforward netbackup or legato clients, scp or rsync to and from the desktop, not have to specify my username every time i try and open a new connection to a box all make getting the job done that little bit easier and faster. yes you can do it on widows, but its always a little awkward, open a putty session, open up a winscp client, dick around trying to create certs to save a little time sshing to boxes. It can be done, it just takes more time than its worth. I use linux as a desktop, so i can do perl shenanegans on demand have bajillions of virtual desktops and basically be a close to the OS's i'm working on as possible. That comes at a price of not playing nice with most windows centric corporate networks, but it can be worked around. All i need in the office is my tools of the trade (linux stuff) an rdp client and a fully windows compatible mail client and office suite... probably visio too and in my old place of work a way of loading a internet explorer only crm. Hence the vmware instance and windows. 90% of the work is *nix... hence 90% of my tools are. tbh things like call manager etc i can live without... i'll just use my phone the old fashioned way. When moving about and using my laptop, i dont want to have to deal with a vmware all the time, power saving variable clock speeds, limited resources (compared to a full blown pc) etc etc make running two os's at the same time undesirable. Also i dont want to have to switch between os's to perform different tasks... nix for nitty gritty fun stuff.... save info to file and push to the windows partition reboot to windows and do reporting stuff in office 2008 cos some manager somewhere insists on the latest microsoft format. So if i wanted an os where i could interact pretty well with linux, deal with any random business crap and do the own leisure odds and ends without switching os's part way through osx is the one that does the job. But i agree, if you want great linux integration.. use linux, windows integration, use windows. but doing windows work on linux or vice versa is a pain in the ass. hence osx.

get your personal assistant to monitor your outlook for the next 48 hours and call you 30 mins before anything comes up.

Currently Westfield, before that News LTD. Great things about macbooks (i'm using a pro btw) is that you can run any os including linux distro's windows and osx, so spoilt for choice. Under the hood osx is really just a bsd varient, so if your used to bsd itself, or solaris or slackware etc your set, i start pulling teeth out if i have to use putty in windows, so if i can get an OS with a native terminal.... SCORE... Then comes the problem of email, every office i know uses exchange... which is balls and whist you can connect with evolution if the windows admins have been friendly, you often suffer from niggling issues (like calendar and contacts etc). Office for OSX works quite nicely in that i can deal with the windows centric management stuff which requires office, without being stuck with windows (yes open office is okish to an extent). Cisco VPN is no issue has its built in and is only a click away from connecting... no cisco client software required. So my requirements have always been a high level of compatibility, not seamless integration. So AD domains, roaming profiles etc... never an issue. So what it does give me is access to business required software (email and office apps), work required functionality (bash term rsync ssh xforwarding etc etc all the common gnu tools) without need for cygwin and a half decent vpn client. Now as a disclaimer, at work, my desktop is a pc, so its running ubuntu with windows running in a vmware workstation instance (i need to be able to do things quick so i skip the more industrial nix varients for a desktop). But for a laptop that needs to double for work AND pleasure (i do photography stuff too...so photoshop gets thrown in) the max works out quite nicely. And what do you mean the track pads awful... the multi touch makes like so much easier.

bah damn mac critics. before anyone calls me an artfag... i'm a unix sysadmin... hence osx is a great option... BSD CLI, plus interoperability with MS exhange servers for mail plus cisco compatible vpn client built in. Now its not about better specs, i agree its pricy, what i recommended it for was the package. 17inch anti glare screen. really useful trackpad (not the useless pc ones) great graphics adapters (two gpu's.. one for video... one for number crunching) dvi out, 500gb 7200 rpm hd 4 gig of ram. plus toys (cam light sensing screen /keyboard dimming etc etc) Plus its multi os capable, so osx, windows or pic a linux distro. As far as some pc laptops go.. windows and probaby ubuntu but no guarentees due to driver issues. I agree, not equal spec for spec with some offerings like the g73, but a very well thought out package.

yeah going on a week plus now... bugger

on this note, can anyone of a mechanical background explain why nissan or "manufacturer X" might have chosen one over the other when designing a car? I never understood why there were two different arrangements in skylines.

been a few days now, think they went down mid to late last week.

Just noticed j-spec's been off the air for a few days now, seeing as this is my primary source of "next car i might own" porn i;m a little worried. Anyone know if anything untoward has occured??

My personal pref is an I6, v's always seem to have this slight vibration that irks me whenever i notice it (which is not all the time). Really it was 6 of one 1/2 dozen of the other, so i'm using this small irk to pick one.

5. faulty rad cap or a pressure leak somewhere. had it myself once... replaced everything including the thermostat,no joy... did the cap in the end and presto. As for the thermostat, pull it off and drop it in a jug of hot water. if it opens its ok... if not then its buggered.
