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.

    • How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.
    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
