Nothing wrong with saying "Mr Squiggle", just confused is all.

I have been testing centrafuse on my laptop, which will become my carpc. I am not too sure which to use though, i want something that is going to be easy to get working with the haltech software so i can get the gauges etc working.

Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

Centrafuse or Ride Runner will give the best compatibility for that sort of stuff imo, but rr is butt ugly. Is your laptop one of the ones that turns the hdd off if it detects a bump (most new ones do)? Cause even around the city streets it's enough of a bump and totally killing my music video playback and lagging software. Thinking maybe a mini-itx setup is in order.

LOL Matty, where did you go?

Just quietly, we need to convince Luke into getting a 4x4.......he's apparently contemplating the idea!!

a lil spot out near edinburgh. have to show ya sometime........give the 200 a nice brown hue to it

just went and cleaned it after work at the big bucket at bedford park. mental note, dont use the very right hand wash bay unless they've cleaned it up haha

1 hour and 28 bucks equals a clean car (engine bay and outside, and MOST of underneath that i could get to). The rest i'll get on friday when i chuck it thru the auto wash for its weekly clean

anyone recommend a wireless key board and mouse?

Logitech or MS like Luke says. incidentally the MS keyboards are all made on logitech fabs

I like a wireless mouse and a wired keyboard, mainly because the logitech g15/g19 series are awesome and a standalone mouse usually has better resolution than a combo wireless mouse

and as for car pc's, you'll want solid state drives all the way, but im not sure if the eee would be the best bet for a permanent installation - theyre good in the glovebox but if you want a permanent solution then a dedicated car pc or a mac mini with aftermarket ssd would do the job quite admirably. Best mount point would be either under a seat or behind the rear seats between the rear strut towers and just run a db25 vga and usb to the front to the touchscreen head unit

Some cock tried to steal the 33 on the weekend. :D

A club lock and alarm kinda ruined it for them :worship:

I'll remember to turn on the surveillance to the outside cameras from now on ... so I've got an idea of who's trying. :)

I have no idea if it will do that, plus a HDD skipping would hardly miss much/if any of a song or movie. The laptop i got is a Acer 5315, got it free from work, i am going to upgrade the cpu in it when i can be bothered pulling apart a HP at work.

I am going to be placing the laptop in the spare wheel well, may also move the amps into there aswell, and have a mdf/false floor in the boot. Then run a VGA and usb cable tot he front of the car for the touchscreen.

Does anyone know much about ET pulsar's? a friend of mine has one that isnt working and is wanting to sell it, i am thinking of buying it and fixing it.

yeh i do a bit, had a blue one with a high mount high flowed t25

the gearboxes are crap especially reverse, and the factory computer is also crap as it is located under the passenger seat which is easily knocked by the passengers feet which in turn pulls out the loom

other that they are a great little FWD car

Yeah my mate was saying that the ecu was crap, i reckon i'll buy it and fix it up, i want a car i can pull down and rebuild easily so i can learn, ain't gonna do it with my line, that's my daily. I may then sell it to a mate for his 1st car.

Thats not a bad idea, the only thing I would be concerned about is the heat generated from the amp and the computer. you may be better off putting the amp in a conventional position like on the back of the rear seats or under the passenger seat - otherwise you might need to think about mounting a fan inside the wheel well under the false floor

Jack88 knows a great deal about maximising position, I suggest you give him a msg and send him some pics n see what he recommends

+1 for his build quality too

Thanks for the suggestion, gives me something to think about now. I was going to use the guys at Strathfield at Noarlunga for the install, but i'll message Jack later when i am going to do the install.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
