My quick ramblings...

Not Andy's fault, he's stressing about it more than any of you I bet. Sounds like the programmers are stuffing him around. If they really were interested in doing it they would have at least compiled each CD to match the serial numbers in each of the firmwares of the units. Piracy problem solved. Or used Andy as a distributor. Andy are you even getting a cut? I certainly hope so.

Ok just read this...

His plans are that there will be 2 discs;

Disc 1, will install and produce a unique code that will show on the screen.

That number gets sent to the developer and within 24 hours a the final disc will be ready to download.

Disc 2 is a unique version with the serial number produced from disc 1, encripted in the 2nd disc.

that is the theory, waiting to see the final product.

Cheers

Andy

Why not just get the serial number from the maintenance screen yourself and email it to him to compile the image?

That's not hard to do rather than fartarse around. Can't see anyone changing their rom to pirate the discs if we can't even get the rest working. Has anyone even successfully decompiled their original discs?

Also a long time ago when I was working for a software engineering company with lots of crazy serb programmers who were interested in this project I did look into doing this project. I even called Japan and had a few lengthy conversations with an english speaking guy at xanavi about this just to get some background (Really friendly and accomodating Japs are btw). He basically said that the program was meant to have a function to implement English, but it was released as is at it wasn't important enough to them at the time was the jist of it and they weren't interested in building one for us. But I'm not a business person so if someone wants to put a venture to them.

We've all moved on since then, and I don't really have the time or inclination to be passionately involved, but if someone sends me the 1st disc (not the map disc) that they have(I never got mine) i'll look at it again in my spare time. PM me.

Where are all our software engineers anyway? SAU used to be filled with nerds. I'm happy to pass on what I know.

    • Yeah, you need to do it properly. You need to start out slow and gentle, ramping it up until they are good and hot, but not cooking, then roll off the other side (instead of letting them cool down quick).
    • I think yeah less hot fuel dumping into the top of the tank that wants to evaporate easily, fewer connections/hoses for permeation. Something like that. Also lower cost/easier production. Even my 2000 LS400/Celsior is a deadhead system. A single fuel hose to the fuel rails which have pulsation dampers attached and no return line.
    • I might do a few more high temp bed ins as described here.  I have a nice quiet 80kph road right near me.  How To Bed-In Your EBC Brakes For Street Or Track Use - EBC Brakes https://share.google/AjnOTILXoiqQnLu8p  
    • I did a few 80-0 stomps. I then just rode the brakes while I applied throttle for a while to get them nice and hot. I live on a big hill and have been down it a few times also with stomps and brake riding.
    • Biggest thing is you're okay!   It sounds like between the accident, and the drive home, it was a pretty torturous trip again! On the bright side, you took the opportunity to enjoy the event more from the perspective of a spectator, than as an entrant!   Sad to see so much damage to the car. It really has taken a HUGE hit in the front end. If/when you choose to repair, hopefully the rails are straight (At least from shock tower backwards). Hopefully the extra cage coming through there has save most of the chassis rails, and HOPEFULLY saved the motor too. Best of luck when you eventually get motivated to start pulling it down to check it all out
