Cubes Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Hey ppls, thought I'd bump this thread back up.. I do remember a discussion a little while back revealed there's quite a few ppls on SAU that have Internode as their ISP. A quick question.. How do you find their relatively new Premium Usenet service since retention has rose close to around 40days. Its awesome on dsl2.

Cubes Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 on a side note might have to sell my PC as im told by Andrew @ Tillbrook's my timming bellt is making a racket and sounds like the bearings need replacing (im guessing cam gears have bearings) so depending on what Steve @ Manta Racing says i think i will be selling my PC and getting sumthing cheaper for the mean time and putting the rest in the car Nothing to do with the cam gears it will be the cam belt tensioner/idlers. You'd know about it if the cam bearings went. You have a couple of options. Press off the external ring and buy a bearing suitable from CBC for around $30, so $60 in total for bearings for the idler and tensioner + what some one charges to press off and on. OR... Head to holdens and pick up two vl rb30e tensioners for $80 each. So $160 in total + labour pulling the radiator out, harmonic balancer cam belt covers then replacing cam belt ($90 from nissan) if it hasn't been done already, if replacing cam belt its wise to do the water pump ($80 for a good quality aftermarket waterpump). oh and + coolant another $30 odd possibly a/c pwr and alt belts if required. So just there thats $360 in parts. + labour that should take no more than 2 hours. Unsure what mechanics charge today. Lets say worse case $100 p/h so you could be up for close to $600 for a major service. IF you decide to buy an idler instead of the tensioner just the idler is around $280 from memory, or was it $180.. Most likely $180.. Stupidly priced. Grab a tensioner as they are a locking tensioner so essentially an adjustable idler.

Madaz Posted July 4, 2006 Author Share Posted July 4, 2006 chears cubes food for thought ive been given 2 quotes $820 from 1 place w/out waterpump and $1250 with i think i will be doing it with a mate hes not sure about the harmonic balancer and how to put it back on though .. does any1 have a workshop manual for these engines or that really isnt needed?

Cubes Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 To remove the harmonic balancer you will need to buy a cheapo $19 balancer puller from supercrap/motor mates etc. It comes off easily. To put it back on simply push it on by hand a little, place the bolt in and screw the bolt back in, as it does it pulls the balancer back on. Cheaper aftermarket cam belts can be had for around $40 but the Nissan belts come with white markings on them so you can line up all the points easily. Definitely worth while as you don't want to throw the cam timing out a tooth or two. I have a 33 workshop manual.

Bl4cK32 Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 dont do it if your not sure. Stuffing up any part of it (even doing the tensioner nuts up too tight) can kill your motor.

Cubes Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 I think the tensioner bolt snapping is more so related to the stud not being replaced and overtightened. So.. ensure the $2 stud is replaced and torqued up to its correct settings. Same goes for the harmonic balancer, use the old bolt but be sure to lock tight it and torque it up correctly.

Bl4cK32 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Bumping a thread here Got my system running finally, bar 1 or 2 things.... Just wondering what programs people use to bench their system? Ive got 3dmark06 here, and superPi, so ask and ill do some tests @ stock speeds. Also wondering about how u guys oc your machines....(im a noob oc'er ) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/108819-computer-jargon/page/10/#findComment-2353324 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubes Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 I usually find the maximum the ram is able to handle.. Keep the cpu near stock as possible speeds and ramp up the ram speed. Use memtest to find its limits. Then drop the ram back down. Now ramp up the cpu speed and use prime95 to find its sweet spot. I usually do this by ramping up the speed until it requires a few volts to be stable, the sweet spot is where you need large increases in vcore to achieve only a small increase in cpu speed. Heat usually becomes an issue but as you are running water you shouldn't have the heat problem. Then you know the limits of both the ram and cpu. Now try to find the closest speed attainable for both the cpu and the ram.
