Hey ppls,

thought I'd bump this thread back up..

I do remember a discussion a little while back revealed there's quite a few ppls on SAU that have Internode as their ISP.

A quick question.. How do you find their relatively new Premium Usenet service since retention has rose close to around 40days. :)

Its awesome on dsl2. :)

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

lol u never did end up getting a gfx card for your lappy the new Dell looks good but bit dear

Dell XPS lappy

I dont think it will :)

How can they have a running game already made, when dx10 cards dont even exist yet??

Dx10 cards would be out for Developers

on a side note might have to sell my PC as im told by Andrew @ Tillbrook's my timming bellt is making a racket and sounds like the bearings need replacing (im guessing cam gears have bearings) so depending on what Steve @ Manta Racing says i think i will be selling my PC and getting sumthing cheaper for the mean time and putting the rest in the car

so if you know any1 looking for a PC i can get the specs of it and i can tell u it wont be cheap (its a Gamers Rig but might take my $1000 GFX card out not sure yet)

more news as it comes :blink:

Nothing to do with the cam gears it will be the cam belt tensioner/idlers. You'd know about it if the cam bearings went.

You have a couple of options.

Press off the external ring and buy a bearing suitable from CBC for around $30, so $60 in total for bearings for the idler and tensioner + what some one charges to press off and on.

OR... Head to holdens and pick up two vl rb30e tensioners for $80 each. So $160 in total + labour pulling the radiator out, harmonic balancer cam belt covers then replacing cam belt ($90 from nissan) if it hasn't been done already, if replacing cam belt its wise to do the water pump ($80 for a good quality aftermarket waterpump). oh and + coolant another $30 odd possibly a/c pwr and alt belts if required.

So just there thats $360 in parts. + labour that should take no more than 2 hours. Unsure what mechanics charge today. Lets say worse case $100 p/h so you could be up for close to $600 for a major service.

IF you decide to buy an idler instead of the tensioner just the idler is around $280 from memory, or was it $180.. Most likely $180.. Stupidly priced. Grab a tensioner as they are a locking tensioner so essentially an adjustable idler. :thumbsup:

chears cubes food for thought :thumbsup:

ive been given 2 quotes $820 from 1 place w/out waterpump and $1250 with

i think i will be doing it with a mate

hes not sure about the harmonic balancer and how to put it back on though ..

does any1 have a workshop manual for these engines or that really isnt needed?

To remove the harmonic balancer you will need to buy a cheapo $19 balancer puller from supercrap/motor mates etc.

It comes off easily.

To put it back on simply push it on by hand a little, place the bolt in and screw the bolt back in, as it does it pulls the balancer back on.

Cheaper aftermarket cam belts can be had for around $40 but the Nissan belts come with white markings on them so you can line up all the points easily. Definitely worth while as you don't want to throw the cam timing out a tooth or two.

I have a 33 workshop manual. :thumbsup:

I think the tensioner bolt snapping is more so related to the stud not being replaced and overtightened. So.. ensure the $2 stud is replaced and torqued up to its correct settings. Same goes for the harmonic balancer, use the old bolt but be sure to lock tight it and torque it up correctly.

I usually find the maximum the ram is able to handle..

Keep the cpu near stock as possible speeds and ramp up the ram speed. Use memtest to find its limits.

Then drop the ram back down.

Now ramp up the cpu speed and use prime95 to find its sweet spot.

I usually do this by ramping up the speed until it requires a few volts to be stable, the sweet spot is where you need large increases in vcore to achieve only a small increase in cpu speed. Heat usually becomes an issue but as you are running water you shouldn't have the heat problem. :O

Then you know the limits of both the ram and cpu. Now try to find the closest speed attainable for both the cpu and the ram. :)

      Rear subframe stay bracket bolt removal issues

      By DatsunBanana 路 Posted

      I didn't know about induction heaters but checked them out and they look awesome but too pricey for the occasional job like this. And I'm too nervous to take a flame anywhere near there as the petrol tank is so close, although I was intrigued with the crayons suggestion 馃榿 I filled a coke bottle lid with penetrating fluid and raised it on the jack so the nut was submerged in it all night. Then went in with a tiny cold chisel and got it almost to the point of splitting but not quite (I didn't want to damage the bolt threads). Then I hammered a socket back on and gently worked it until I felt movement. And it's off 馃榾

      I should. But it already uses too much fuel for a daily. You might note my recco for engine chnages are almost exclusively to people who have it as a weekender/summer car. I don't even have room to keep the spares for this one, let alone another car.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By sunsetR33 路 Posted

      If I had "perfect R33 GTR" kinda money I would have bought one of the crazy expensive low mileage HJA cars, but I am sadly not that wealthy. I already picked this car out of various Skylines for sale locally, most of which were worse in some way. Only a few cars were actually better but also more expensive. In terms of buying a motor locally, I at least have the option to inspect it myself and juding the seller as a person, and used or freshly rebuilt engines that some people sell are actually ok price-wise. I knew the car was going to require work, but shit piled up real fast and I haven't even driven 1000km yet as the turbo started oiling like a bitch within a few weeks after I got the car.   I assume it wasn't actually me who cracked it, though there is no way to know when that crack formed and if the previous owner even knew it was there. Buying another 05U Block can be a gamble, yeah, but the cheapest PRP cast block is like twice or more money-wise, and billet is 3 or 3 times as much. For now I am most likely just keeping the current engine, as a rebuild or engine swap isn't happening right now. But I am seriously considering buying a second engine and selling mine in return. Might be a sweet deal at the end.

      RB26 turbo oil banjo bolts

      By sunsetR33 路 Posted

      Hi all. I need some help buying the correct size banjo bolts for my 2860 turbos. Because whoever installed them tore up the original part, I ordered new ones of this kind, because I just figured these were the most leak-resistant option as I already had trouble with a shitty braided line. I need to know the thread size of the smaller left hole, that is the turbo oil feed connection. I found out so far that the turbo oil inlet apparently has a 7/16"-24 thread, but I cannot find any listing or description of the thread size on this line. I do not have the original bolts. I tried using the bolts that were in the turbos (the ones that were mounted with the shitty braided line) but they sit very loosely so they can't be the right thread. Means either these bolts are the wrong ones (how do they fit the turbo then? no clue) or the wraparound-lines have a different thread than the turbo oil feed itself. Help is appreciated, asking Nissan directly is obviously not going to work.
