hey guys, i was talking to a mate in the business and he told me he had a fair few external hard drives that he can get in.

he said he'd cut a deal for my mates (sau members) if we can get numbers up on orders as he has to do them on a bulk buy kind of thing through his supplier.

they come from 80gig to around 500gig (and i think 750gig) and range from $120 for the 80gig to $240 for the 500gig.

they are all seagate SATA drives and come in a choice of 2 covers. ill get pics once he's got them.

as for prices i dont know if theyre good or not so thats why its an eoi.

so... express your interest.

cheers,

joe

are they actual external HDD's? or just internals put into a case?

Im after 1TB external HDD (yeah i know they just chuck 2 500gb HDD's in a WG case) i know WestGate make them... can he get those in?

Otherwise i might go 750gb depending if its an actual External HDD, as in made to be external...

internals put into cases. thats how theyre all made mate.

ill ask if he can get a 1TB but when we were speaking he said that 750 is the biggest he had.

why not throw 2x750 and get 1.5TB :D

pics will be up soon.

lol when i say external or internal, i mean an actual brand name HDD made to be external, like ive got a maxtor one, and it was built to be external, where an internal one in a case, im not too sure if i trust 100%

I might still go 750gb, its pretty cheap... are they sturdy cases?

all external hard drives are internal drives thrown into an external case. im pretty sure of that. otherwise they wouldnt be so big.

the cases look pretty good.

yeah a hard drive is a hard drive, but the ones that are made to be external are abit more solid to protect the HDD and most have there own security settings...

If a TB is available let me know otherwise ill prob go a 750gb

postage is around $12 express.

i order these as i get them mate. i may end up making this a group buy if i get too many orders, but for now ill take them as they come.

USB 2 and Firewire?

the prices quoed are USB only. to get the cases with both will be $15 ontop of the prices quoted.

i was doing this on the basis of being cheaper for you guys.

yeah i want Firewire? are these firewire?

as above.

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
