nah vista is shit ;P slow, bloated, broken.... installing vista on a pc is like kicking it in the nuts and expecting it to piggyback you up a hill...

xp ftw

Oh yeah jenkies, just back up your data on a blank disc, usb stick or external hdd and then format the cd using the windows xp installation discs... or if you have a laptop, reimage the hdd with the XP image discs...

lol im not exactly a rocket scientist when it comes to computers... i need it in simple speak.... dont wanna keep anything on the computer as it doesnt have much on it. just wanna know how to wipe and install windows.. step by step for idiots version :blush: hahaha i have a (windows xp with service pack2 pre activated) cd.

Dude Vista is ok?

Vista is shit.

I had it removed immediately when I purchased my new laptop. Vista doesn't let MYOB or AutoCAD or CorelDRAW run properly.

Jenkies, if you get stuck, I can name a guru how could assist. I'll email him now for ya and get a detailed "to do" list on how to remove Vista and install XP. You'll need all the necessary CDs and licences and a web connection (so you'll need to set up your network/internet connection all over again).

This is why I threw it my mate's way ... couldn't be f**ked doing it myself. :blush:

thanks ruby! its a dell xps 720. i still have all the original driver and utility cd's so should be fine. the computer is a bloody animal.. vista is just holding it back hardcore

good havin a chat too ya on saturday aswell.. still cant believe the kms on the black stag!!

damo what are OS games?

I think Damo is saying that maybe the OS isn't the problem with your games crashing.

IMO vista is more than likely the problem. I hate it. All my IT guru mates hate it ... says alot for Vista really.

Jenkies OS = Operating system. I think Microsoft tried to pump out Vista before Mac did big things like Macbook Air etc. but that died in the guts because there are so many errors.

I think only 1 person came out on top with Vista.

Badass Bill Gates

I can either talk you through it over the phone, or drop it off an my place and collect it the next day.

I have just set up a heap of laptops and PC's for work, all needed Vista removed and XP installed.

^ but dohmar has made a cd player out of a dildo n some electrical tape can you beat that, the guys like mcgiver no wait he's better than mcgiver (mallrats joke for those who dont get it)

im sure that arena guy on here from the lan day would know a fair bit to.

ive have now stired the pc whizz fight ;)

hey dan i know a trick to make yr pc faster, its all about getting the dust out of the cracks, u gotta turn yr pc on and while its booting, pick the box up and drop it from 2 ft height...keepdoing this... when u hear something go bang then that means ur hdd is now dust free

-D

jeez im not an idiot dohmar if i wanted the pc to go faster id get this

http://images.google.com.au/imgres?imgurl=...m%3D1%26hl%3Den

nah that wont make it go faster, it'll just make it noisier

if you want it to go fast, you have to recalibrate the warp coils by turning the pc on and off as quickly as u can for a good 5-10 minutes. When u hear the loud bang, its as overclocked as it can get

"Holden alone spent $420 million in research and development last year which has made it Australia's largest private sector R and D investor for a number of years now," he said.

I bet they spent all that $420 million on designing thong holders... or 420 = they were all smoking ganja

No issues with Vista here.

Granted I did step up to Vista x64 and have to throw another 2gb of ram at it as it did feel slower than XP.

Now stepping back to XP feels slow; the general responsiveness of the system is less; programs load slower etc etc.

I don't have any issues with games; no drop to desktops and thats games ranging from the young lads old motoracer right up to BF2, BF2142, Crysis, COD4 good old UT etc..

I can't remember the last time the computer crashed.. It does appear MUCH more stable the old XP.

I also use the comp for a bit of VMware; programming; web development; video editing etc..

Everything just fly's. Since I threw a total of 4gb at it. :(

My BIGGEST gripe with vista is MS Stupidly making it difficult to change settings.. Give me back the good old control panel. Change of Look and feel FTL.

It works well >if< you have decent drivers for the hardware. So far the drivers have been less than spectacular. DX10 can cause some games to run slower than their DX9 modes, and theres also a retarded networking issue that prevents network traffic if Vista cant ping home to a particular server (and theres no fix, they just added the complexity to piss us off).

I would expect something with 4 gigs of ram to be fast. Max XP can address is 3.5 gigs cause it has a 32 bit memory address limit (64 bit xp doesnt have this problem of course). I can never imagine XP being slower than Vista on equivalent hardware.

And yeah, changing the location of configuration items is just dumb. They did it when they moved to XP and everyone said 'oh we dont like it' so they introduced 'classic view'. Is there an option for classic view in vista? I cant remember. Theoretically Vista has faster framework (so if the drivers improve, so will vista) but the problem most people have is the eyecandy taking up processor cycles. I've got all the animation and draw effects disabled on XP and its about as fast as it can get....

They abstracted the graphics driver to be both userspace and kernel mode.... this will supposedly make it more stable and faster (aka best of both worlds) but it makes writing decent gfx drivers really really hard...

    • Assuming the current ECU is stock, it might be worth getting hold of a nissan data scan cable. It could be as simple as voltage at the ECU
    • You need to test for spark when it matters - ie cranking. Kill the fuel supply, pull a plug and earth it, set up a camera and go crank. The spark needs to be consistent, every other turn of the engine. Not some sputtering of occasional spark. The reason I say this is because spinning the CAS in the air is not the same as spinning it installed, and if there is a bearing problem in it, the disk might work differently in the air than in the engine. You won't want to try to set the timing unless you know the spark is happening right.  Also, reconsider running the R35 coils against the stock ECU. They like a different amount of dwell cf the originals. It's not massive, you can actually run them, but it is better if you can adjust the dwell (which you can with Nistune in the stocker, or with an aftermarket ECU). Besides any of that - when you had the multimeter out, have you got power where it needs to be, earth where it needs to be (and when, in the case of igniter triggers), etc?
    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below
