Yeah they use geforce quadro's for cad at my work. Pretty good cards for rendering 3d models in complex detail. Not good for gaming ;P

-D

Not to mention pricey, last time I looked...about 6 months ago, they were around the $1k mark or higher.

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

What CAD systems are they using?

It will be used for predominantly CAM applications, Edgecam to be specific. With a bit of CATIA and SolidWorks thrown in for good measure. Tool-path verification will be what i need the graphics power for. Unless it is coded to support some GPU computing, which I doubt.

Is it worth going for a workstation card even if the program isn't specifically supported with drivers? Or would I be better off spending the same coin on a gaming card which will have more brute power, however not as fine tuned?

Heaps. Wonderware, Autocad, Altium Designer, etc...

Depends on the software - I'd check with the manufacturer. No point spending $1k on a card that the software cant use.

I asked Adam a few weeks ago to change my Internet Plan to their new plans - AdamBasicChoice 100GB, which is up to 20Mbps.

So my account rolled over the other day, and I hadn't received my extra speed - was a little pissed, so I sent them an email, and they replied saying it was going to take 3-5 days, as the wholesaler still had to apply my upgrade.

Well, I got home today from Balgowan, checked my speed, and I am rather happy with it :)

Had torrents going at the time, but I am not going to complain.

If your with Adam make sure you up your connection profile. I've got a SNR of 6 and run stable on their second to fastest profile. I sure noticed the difference over standard.

I have no idea how to do that, but with my modem - Billion 7300GRA with Autodetect settings, I get this

You've also got to watch the error correction, speed and snr often look good on higher profiles but a good chunk of speed can be lost to correction on not so good lines.

If you're on an Adam dslam, jump on the members page and go to 'View Performance Profile'

Nope, don't have that option. Most likely as I am on ADSL not on ADSL2+, even though my modem is using the ADSL2+ protocol to sync...meh, I am happy with the results - downloaded 1.4gb in 10-20min :)

Sure it's not ADSL2+ over a telstra dslam?

"ADSL" will get you 8mbit/1 and "ADSL over POTS G.992.1" 12mbit/1.3 under perfect line conditions.

Adam can still tweak the line profile, but you've got to call up to get it done.

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      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!

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      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.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By suko · Posted

      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

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I saw your intro update, are you sure you've actually had a starter motor failure? You mention it could be the alarm causing it. I'm assuming you've got a no start issue, but what are the exact symptoms, as there could be a few reasons it has stopped wanting to start.
