I recently had a good experience with a DOA antec psu in an 4480 antec case with MSY.

Basically powered it up once turned it off then it wouldn't power up again. Tested the psu and it was definitely stuffed.

So i called them up dropped the case off they tested it and gave me another; no fuss no questions all done.

I've been fairly lucky with DOA computer bits over the years. The last DOA I had was 2 sticks of DDR corsair ram. :laugh:

All you have to do is buy a copy on US Ebay and have it shipped here .... too easy. Or better yet, the gay classification (or lack thereof) makes it almost legitimate for us to pirate/torrent the game

been having a look at some ferrari 430 software this weekend. Some pretty in depth stuff there. Unfortunately it had a mind of its own and seemed to take control of the car. in qualifying it was controling the brakes when it wanted to brake (not that helpful down the straights when the cars brakes are locked on) and the in the races it decided that it would go into neutral instead of the gear it was meant to - see what happens when you rely to much on computers.....

it makes you ferrari slow!!!!!

oh and i found the laptop i want, the Lamborghini Asus specially developed to work with the Gallardo software and diagnostic tools. it has a sexy carbon outer case with the raging bull embossed into the top

On the 2nd episode of Blood, Sweat and Gears the guy in the Ferrari spun it on a slalom course, and the car ECU shut the car down as the wheels span and it turned too violently. They had to get a Ferrari tech to reset the ECU to start the car again! Definitely far too much computer 'control' for me - who would want such a thing?

My mate had the ECU reset and had the software reinstalled 3 times over the 4 days. I like the ferrari dash read out, very classy in red and black, then you walk up to the historic's that still have these funny dial things on the dash to show them how fast they are going :laugh:

during the race this morning one of the 430's ECU shut down and they had to restart it, once they did that the car went into limp home mode which wasn't very good during a race.

Ferraris and computers obviously dont mix too well. Keith Wong had some serious issues on Thursday & Friday because his 360 has 3 computers (2 engine management and 1 driveline). One for eack bank so it sees it as 2 separate engines. The thing kept shifting into 'Limp Mode" everytime he hammered the rev limiter. So by trying to stay off it meant he couldn't go as fast. You cant even plug a laptop into the thing unless you've got the unit that can communicate with the ECU and thats in Melbourne.

No wonder the Porsches keep giving it to the Ferraris and they don't break down anywhere near as much. Keith had a gut full and was tempted to bring out the Porsche that he did well in last year. Poor bloke probably regrets buying this thing.

Keiths car from last year is no longer eligible to run in the series. The 360 Challenge is a good car of you have it sorted right finished 4th in last years event in front of some much higher rated drivers. Marc Eddy is happy that he upgraded it to the Gallardo though (3rd outright for the weekend) i had a quick look at the Gallardo's data collection software and hardware today. You can either plug the laptop into the car or you can remove the memory from the ECU and tale it over to the laptop (what eve is easiest).

and here i was thinking Keith was just cruising trying to get used to his new car

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      You can’t see much on the other side as the lcd is there I don’t think it’s the same as the m33 beside it as the markings on top is not the same was hoping someone had a good quality photo or if they just happened to have the unit in hand, quickly take the cover off and take a photo to clearly show the marking on top to identify the diode   the unit is currently with an electronics repair shop so I can’t take another photo at the moment hopefully they are smart enough to know if it’s a zener diode or not

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
