thanks for the input guys. and thanks guy i might take you up on that. ill call you if need be.

thanks for your input cubes!

comp has 4 gig ram, core 2 extreme(quad core), 768 3d card(overkill) and most games i can crank up.. a few stall but with grid it glitches and freezes up like crazy. running 1920x1200 res... hoping xp will fix this issue and just not happy with vista on the whole.

I have alot of mates who use vista and haven't heard of the issue's your describing i would almost put it down to being a dell

just because they claimed it was the fastest ns whatever if they used inferior parts for memory or graphics card your going to end up with alot of problems

i also know nvidia aren't that great with there drivers so it may be a case of searching if other people are experienceing the same problems with dell systems or the same graphics drivers

just as an example with the game grid i was having corrupted gfx on the demo so i rolled my drivers back and was all good now i have the full version and even newer driver haven't seen that problem since

i also know nvidia aren't that great with there drivers so it may be a case of searching if other people are experienceing the same problems with dell systems or the same graphics drivers

*cough* Nvidia drivers are probably the most solid drivers out there on the market. If you're using beta/alpha drivers then you're bound to have issues, but historically Nvidia have had much better drivers than ATI. That said, I've owned ATI and Nvidia and both have had isolated incidents with driver releases from time to time...

3d card is nvidia 768 x 16 8800 ultra. how would i update drivers?

will try that before i whipe it.

www.nvidia.com

go to download drivers

enter 8800 ultra as the gfx type. download the release that suits your operating system (vista)

Once downloaded, Run it. Voila, new driver installed.

hmmm moving house sucks.

me and the missus are putting our unit up for rent, after spending mega bucks on a re-furb.

it went into the paper on sat, and the net >click here<

we have 3 couples coming through it tonight for an inspection!

one couple has offered more then the weekly rent, they want it so bad!

but the real estate agend doesnt like the look of them lol.

its all good though saving more money FTW

moving back with missus mum FTL

having a double garage all to myself FTW

real estate agent fees, FTL

I'm in the talks at the moment with the bank ... looking at bidding on a massive 4 bedroom home (with 2 double garages) on a huge block of land :(

If I get that house, I'm def throwing a house warming party!!!!!

*fingers crossed*

Well for what its worth my specs..

All using the latest drivers from the respective websites.

Gigabyte EP35-DS3

Gigabyte 8600GT @ 1680x1050

All rock solid memtest (test 5 and 8 for 24hrs) and prime stable.

Runs Grid fine no hang ups or stutters.

I had a slight issue when I was running a 400fsb where it was rock solid in prime and memtest yet BF2 would still randomly drop to the desktop. Dropped it back to 333 with the same overclok and its now fine.

    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
    • I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi
