Long file names in folders upon folders upon folders f**ks up everything.

Had a dude with a file that was like a sentence, which he put in like 40 sub folders... Oh god. That was a nightmare.

try tell that to the doctors and nurses mate.....they do that all the time....trying to fix something that they have "lost" is impossible lol

Abe, do you get many SSD's coming back for warranty claims?

None, as we don't stock them, as they aren't main stream yet, however we can order them in for you, but warranty would be a real pain.

WTF - SSDs aren't mainstream? Given they have been commercially available for nearly a year and MSY sell out every time they get a shipment in, I would suggest otherwise.

I can however understand all PC shops not wanting to stock them - suddenly all the pos 3 year old PCs that are now a bit slow are sped up significantly with the addition of an SSD drive. Millions of people worldwide will not need to upgrade for another X years due to how much faster they make a PC. Even an old single core XP4000+ absolutely flies with Windows 7 on an SSD.

Oh yeah, I have some PC gear up for sale too guys: 1 x Acer core 2 duo 2 x 1.86Ghz CPU, 1Gb ram, 80Gb SATA HDD PC with 17" LCD $300, Brand new CD Burners (NOT DVD) $10, 8Gb Sandisk Extreme III CF Card $40, 19" AOC CRT monitor $50, brand 1.5 inch photo frame with internal memory $10

They purely aren't mainstream yet, they are still in their infancy as they are still trying to get better access times, price to gigabyte is shocking, they are purely for performance enthusiasts at the moment, until they become better priced per gigabyte.

Kingston SNV425-S2/64GB = $270

Kingston SNVP325-S2/64GB = $331

Intel SSDSA2MH160G2C1 = $933

Seagate 500gb = $85

WD 640GB 64mb Black = $121

WD Raptor 450gb 32mb = $448

WD Raptor 250gb 16mb = $240

As you can see, price to gigabyte, SSD's are not mainstream, UNLESS you are going for performance, then they are for enthusiasts.

anyone know who is working @ modbury IT warehouse with a black R34

I do :D, I found out today but ringing up and asking, lol. The owners name is Michael, he used to work at the Blair Athol Store till it shut, and used to drive a Silver one apparently, now drives the Black one. Other then that I don't know too much, as the person I spoke too doesn't know too much about cars, all they know is they use petrol and brum.

    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
