we are both with Node, on ADSL 1.5Mb .... unfortunately we both live in Northgate, so our phone lines are on a RIM, hence we can't get ADSL2 or + ;):);) ;)

Well that just plain sucks..

Internode here.

1500/256 40Gb/month.

I DO need to do some cleaning out of things.

hehe yer that or nodes premium usenet pron service. :(

Cheers Howie.

lol, I expect to be using my PC a fair bit over the next 4 weeks during recovery; go BF2.

might try overclocking the unit (p4 3.4, gigabyte mobo, 2gig ram, 7800gtx, raid 400mb sata HD, 9 fans) to 4000, havent gone past 3700 (8%) as yet but its been real stable and heat hasnt been a real issue

:P

get a nice fan and u will easily see 4ghz stable

Nice Fan

I went for a Thermaltake Blue Orb 2 (about the same price) and it is quite unbelievable - it is absolutely silent, is on automatic speed (ie. the hotter the CPU gets the faster it will spin to try to cool it down), and the hightest speed I have seen it go is 1,200rpm (still silent) and the hottest I have seen the CPU is 45 degrees when hammering it. Currently it is 23 degrees ambient, 39 degrees CPU at 830rpm .... quite unbelievable for a dual core X2 4200 @ 2400Mhz (4600+ speed).

Lik-Sang were an import export company of videogames. And in the past year or two sony have been sueing them and they have finially had enough and probably can't afford to keep fighting these battles.

Go to www.lik-sang.com if you want some info.

In other news i got to play the Nintendo Wii tonight and it is so damn good it's unbelievable. It's so fun using the remote and the online functions are awesom and well thought out.

Everyone should be pre ordering one.

December 7 $399 and you get wii sports. Which has 5 sports games in it.

So good.

P.S buy my R34 so i can get a V35.

I saw the black V35 coupe that Synergy brought in for their compliance (that I posted some photos of a while back) driving on North east Rd the other day .... unfortunately it was going to other way so I only got a quick flash of it. *drool*

If I had known how soon V35 compliance was to be available when I bought the R34 last July, I would now have a V35 in my driveway instead of the 34 .... but I had committed to buy the R34 when I found out :) .... bloody fantastic cars (if not very lacking in power) - even Jeff from C-Red owns 2 of them and absolutely raves about them!

I couldn't work out why I couldn't beat Steve's score - all I could get is 35.5 seconds - but then it occurred to me that SuperPi only uses 1 of my 2 cpus (dual core you see) :P

A more appropriate Pi test is the multiple core version here: http://www.hwbot.org/download/multipi-0.2.zip

I got 1 min 23 sec @ 2.75Ghz - that is the highest I have overclocked it to so far .... I will get it to 3Ghz when I have some more time to play with it! (For some strange reason the multiple core beta starts time at 30 minutes rather than zero - but I assure you it is not true! lol).

Everyone post up their scores to compare!

to get super pi mod to utilize dual core u need to run 2 instances of it from to different named directories, then u can task manage the ifinity of CPU's to each program executable

i also dont understand the program u used i ran it any way

Running Stock

Super Pi 2 instances 4ghz

Steve I am pretty sure the program I gave the link to calculates Pi to 4M places, and utilises both cores to do it. When I calculate SuperPi to 4M it takes 2:42 with one of my cores, and that program takes 1:17 (now I have upped my clock to 2.925Ghz *and it is still stable* - that is equal to an as yet unreleased X2 5800+ :rolleyes: )

oooh yeah I just benchmarked my CPU in Everest Ultimate Edition "CPU Queen" and topped the list - eat my dust overclocked Intel Core 2 Extreme 6800 @ 2.933Mhz - my beastie at 2390.5Mhz kicks your butt :P

And for those that play CS:S go do the stress test .... I got 146fps with my XFX7600GT @ 1,280 x 768 4xAA :rolleyes:

    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
    • I suppose it was relatively stock too, the JZ motor handle most mods thrown at them without even breaking a sweat
