gonna join matty and pete on their next 4wd day eh? :P

nah, seriously though, good luck getting it through, should be a first time easy.

also, i love 31 club. so easy to break people there. turned someones thread into a thread about alpacas. he got emo. i lol'd.

linksy?

anyone know how to delete/cancel an ebay auction? listed my injectors, sold them to someone on the 31club, no longer need the listing...

... never mind, figured it out.

Like my new purchase, it HUGE.

25.8x18x2.54 cm and just to give you an idea how big that is;

I got the EEE 901. Upgraded it to a 2gig ram memory stick, removed the slow 8gb secondard ssd and replaced it with an uber fast 32gb ssd. chucked an sdhc class 6, 16gb SD card in the card reader. Wireless bluetooth mouse, wireless bluetooth via my sony ericsson k850i to the net, usb DVT-B decoder... bloody love it

am running fedora linux on the 4gb ssd, windows xp home on the 32gb ssd and i have the 16gb card for media storage... 48 gigs of media avail to windows

not bad considering its got no moving parts. being turned on in a skyline aint gonna kill it heh

the only thing I wish I had was a touchscreen. would be uber. you can get kits but im not quite prepared to disassemble the eee...

little computers rule

this is the 10.1 inch aspire one there is a 8.9 inch version but after looking at other 8.9 inch net books they are too small for me (as it is it's taking ages to type even with this one cos of my fat fingers).

This is the D250 version which i have had the RAM upgraded to 2Gb, it has a 160Gb hard drive and a 1.6GHz processor. all the small net books run the same intel N270 processor, the reason in when for the D250 over the D150 is most of the specs are higher, the RAM is upgradable (standard they came with 1Gb) and they have bluetooth standard as well and it's <$100 between the two anyway. i paid $668 with a LITEON duel layer external DVD burner included.

i will get a 16Gb SD card for it and put all most of my stuff on that, that'll be next week though asi ahve just bought a 9 cell battery for it because the standard 3 cell one is lucky to last 3 hours.

I wanted something small for uni as well as Data logging at the track and eventually i'll run some lipstick cameras to it as well.

man... i hate when books i enjoy (and books that have good potential for the big screen) always turn into garbage movies.

sure, as a rule, movies are never as good, someone elses interpretation of the story is never as good as youre own.

but deleting entire characters and subplots then turning the finale completely on its head... whats with that?

    • Fark what are the changes of that snapping like that, clean. Nek minnit, custom radiator goes in, with built in oil cooler like those discontinued PWR ones from yesterdeacades ago
    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
