i need some help lol

laurens lap top did something weird a few weeks ago. we turned it off one night then on the next day and all her programs on her desktop and her background had gone.

all her files and dtuff are still there and so are the programs just hidden in a file deep in windows lol

any ways she went to upload to music on to her ipod and had to sort of re install itunes, itunes was still on her desktop and in program files so we were hoping it would still have all her music on the library etc but apparently not

so our problem is how can we get back the old itunes and her music library because atm she only has the music that is on her ipod and she doesnt want to sync it to the new itunes cos it will delete it

sorry for the novel

any help would be great

Thanx guys

several scenarios ; the active desktop on background has been turned on and thats why the icons went missing

or explorer crashed/isnt functioning properly

if you want to find the files, do a windows search for *.mp3 and *.aac and *.mp4 files and copy them all to an external source (hdd or dvd)

or it could be a simple case of the profile becoming corrupted. check under c:\documents and settings for multiple instances of laurens login profile, if shes kept default directories most of the ipod music will be under her documents folder or tucked away somewhere in c:\program files

-D

F**king Sprints gave me the wrong water pump so now i cant finish the 100k service and cant find the recipt :P

Have you tried system restore?

Your problem is Luke that I bet they don't make an R34 pump - heaps of people told me that R33 pumps are exactly the same, but Nissan confirmed that they definitely are not. They also aid anything but oem pumps will root your engine. But I suppose Nissan say that about all non-oem parts.

Same as clutch fans - everyone tells you that R33 and R34 are the same, but I found out the hard way they are slightly different bolt pattern.

cause apprently they are exactly the same, which now i found out they arnt. Hope they can swap it over no probs. Now i wish i brought genuine.

You got an RB30 one didn't you? The one they say will fit, only to find a bolt hole doesn't line up?

Common thing for idiots sitting behind a desk to do. As Andrew said, with shit like that, always go direct to Nissan. I'm able to get good pricing from Lakeside, want me to see how much one is for you and availability?

I'm going to be getting a AM dump front pipe as soon as Andrew has made one for me, do you guys think it needs heat wrap... keeping in mind I run stock boost?

im getting one too. :ninja:

id heat wrap it, but thats just cause im lazy and cant be arsed with heat shields.

also, when the f**k did i hit 3000 posts? :P

and i have a trader rating... i gotta start paying attention.

Good choice Talbo, Andrew makes AWESOME systems, you won't be disappointed. I'm in two minds about heat wrapping but I think on a standard street car, it's pretty pointless

Thanks Luke, confirmed what I was thinking :P

I'm getting one his hi flow cats too :ninja:

    • Welcome to my 2004 Toyota Mark ii IR-V Fortuna (series 2) With a 1JZ-GTE powerplant under the bonnet (hood) it'll give me plenty of scope for power upgrades. For those who aren't familiar with imports, the 1JZ-GTE is a 2.5L 6 cylinder VVTi engine with a single turbocharger. This has the factory R154 5 speed gearbox, along with a aftermarket 2 way LSD differential (brand unknown). Under the arches are a set of CST Zero 1 alloys, 18x9 +30 225/40 up front and 18x9.5 +15 265/35 on the rear. The car was quite low in Japan and there's evidence of the wheels catching the rolled arches/fenders. The tyre's aren't great so I'm in two minds whether to replace both or just the tyres and put up with the wider wheels on the rear. The car still uses stock brakes with the addition of some braided hoses. The exterior is stock with the exception of a BN Sports front bumper and a replacement Fortuna grill  Moving to the interior, the steering wheel has been replaced with a dished MOMO steering wheel (which will get swapped for my Momo Tuner for the time being) Defi Link Gauges are mounted above the climate controls and on the A pillar, the Oil Temp,Oil Pressure,Water Temp and Boost gauges should help with spirited and track driving  The stock seats have been replaced with some retrimmed Recaro bucket seats. Being a larger build these are a little snug, unfortunately the orange isn't for me so I'll look into replacing these down the line. Other modifications include a twin plate clutch, Blitz intercooler, Evolve alloy radiator, a stainless exhaust with decat, HKS EVC-S boost controller and coil overs
    • Apologies for the long read My R34 GTT was up for sale at the beginning of spring due to a few repairs creeping up. The strut tops needed replacing, roof and bonnet (hood) painting (yay for 3 stage pearl) and the underside stripped and treated. I sold the car which allowed me to be in a much better place financially. Leading up to the sale I was already thinking about the replacement. In an ideal world it needed to be a good all-rounder. Something I can mess around with, modify, do track days, do the school run, go on long drives etc.  Options included but not limited to... Laurel C35, Evo 8/9, Civic FD2, Impreza Hawkeye, Aristo and even an Audi S4 Avant (I've already got the Mazda 6 wagon). But there was always one car at the top of the list The Toyota Mark ii JZX110 I found an advert on a Facebook group for an example in Japan, from a seller called Jon at Rising Sun Exports. A few messages back and forth and Jon calls me from Yokohama one morning (or afternoon in his case). He briefly explained the import process, the costs involved and a repeat of the advert. After much deliberation, the price was agreed and the sale was locked in. I've never imported a vehicle so I jumped into the unknown head first. The money transfer was completed through wise.com (fees apply), very easy to use and the money was with him within a day or two.  The car suspension was raised for the vessel and the car dropped off at the port. It was 7 weeks later when the bill of lading was received and the freight invoice sent to me, followed by the export certificate a couple of days after (both digital copies) In the mean time the port had been in contact. I needed an agent to deal with the NOVA (notification of vehicle arrival) along with the tax/duty invoice, this was £75.00. The port also had a fee of £100, I'm guessing to cover the cost of the 10 day 'free storage' and for moving the car off the boat etc. They need a copy of the vehicle invoice, freight invoice and export certificate to allow the vehicle to pass through customs. The vessel arrived on Tuesday 5th August, the tax/duty invoice was generated and sent over. This is generally tax 20% and duty 10% of the vehicle value. Although the invoice came in at a higher amount than I had calculated. Once HMRC had received the payment the vehicle could be released from customs. I thought once the tax/duty was paid you could collect at any point, that's not the case. Your agent will need to book a collection slot, I requested Thursday 7th which was accepted, with a 9:00am slot allocated. It was a 5:00am start from Norfolk heading to Southampton. We eventually found the compound, upon presenting the bill of lading and some ID they released the car (they drove it out of the compound to the front ready for us to load up). The email from the port stated each slot had a 10 minute window, which seemed abit farfetched but the staff said it's not a strict rule. We were there for approx. 30-40 mins in total. A week prior to collecting I contacted my garage and explained the situation, I was able to get an inspection slot that afternoon. For the registration, DVLA require the car to be insured, for this I used a company called Adrian Flux who can insure the vehicle using the VIN number. 
    • Hey guys, looking for these side skirts if anyone can help me out. 
    • Wife and I are still looking for a new home. One condition was a large enough garage for a full-size lift in one bay. Now if only we could find something... We've been looking for almost a year now.
    • Thanks everyone for the ideas! Sadly, ramps are a no go for me. With young kids at home, I do most of my work late at night while they're sleeping. Starting the car multiple times wouldn't be a great idea.  I'll go see one of those new long reach low profile jacks and take a couple measurements to see if they will fit.
