How? With his car

What? Ran into me

When? Last night

Where? In the car park

Why? Because I was standing in front of the car while he was parking

It's pretty bad hey... Doctor says I will probably lose the leg if I don't come up with a white 32 GT-R...

Emotional stress as well, that's going to cost a lot for counselling...

Strip club?

I have (totally not bribed) witnesses though.

Lol sure why not. Thursday nights are about to get a lot more expensive though :D

Do the strippers have icecream?

Touche.

So Smity, do you want a nissan patrol too. Just stand in the car park next week and I'll organise another law suite for ya. :D

Sounds good, has got to be a better tow car than the sexF :)

Worth it. Totally.

Sounds good, has got to be a better tow car than the sexF :devil:

I saw that thing on Top Gear... I shuddered a little.

someone build me a new pc while the dollar is good. Dual monitors, decent sized hard drive, able to run auto cad 2010 with dying etc. Budget $1500 incl screens. 2 x 19/20in monitors would suffice.

kfc indro? lots of parking, lots of seating? or even the maccas or hungry jacks on moggil. big carpark and a big outdoor area?

Since when is there heaps of parking at KFC at Indooroopilly?! ;)

I was also thinking Taringa Hungry Jacks might be a good idea though (if that's the one you meant)

Fark. You're not going to get much around that price my friend.

Autocad is pretty intense and since you're after something with 2 screens as well you're gonna need to set aside 2.5k for a half decent one.

Here's something I'd reccomend, which would keep you out of trouble for a while.

CPU: Core i7 950

Mainboard: Gigabyte ga-x58A-UD5

Memory: 6GB Kingston DDR3

Hdd: 2x Seagate Barracuda 1tb SataII

Optical: Lite-On Blu Ray IHOS104

Video: Gigabyte Radeon 5870 2GB/850mhz/DDR5

OS: Windows 7 64bit

Thats around 2100 with 100 for me to put it together with a case and an antec psu.

Then you add the screens

2x Samsung LED 20" $450

This is a rough pricing though, so it may end up cheaper than what I've put down here but yeah if you have more money to play with I'd have a bit more leeway in parts etc.

Yeah... what Keaton said. Be less of a jew.

2 x 20" screens for $1500, not a problem. Or computer to run 2 x 20" screens, but not actually having any screens also, not a problem. Both together = Spend more.

Bah f**kin lame. Surely Autocad isn't that intense. I run it on my laptop now and this piece of shit is 5 years old. Intel Pentium M 1.73ghz with 1gb of ram. It runs it f**kin slow and I can't do anything else while I'm using it but it's semi usable. My comp at work uses 2 screens and that thing is a heap of shit aswell. Guess I will have to wait a bit longer :blink:

Well that was a fail of a mission to get that bonnet...... thanks Martin for the loan of the sexF bahaha

Might get it tomorrow murrrrrrrrrrrr

Since when is there heaps of parking at KFC at Indooroopilly?! :blink:

Yeh, the one opposite the mazda dealership. There next week?

Im sure you could run it on somthing far cheaper than suggested, the guys out at our workshops run it on really old school computers. Geeks always over specify when you ask for computer advice :(

    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.      
    • It sounds like you want what the Toyota Landcruisers have for their roof racks. Wanna know what you end up with? Rust holes in the roof, and water everywhere...
    • Discovered today that if I select reverse first and take my foot off the brake, then select drive, the drive indicator light works and so does the tiptronic gear indicator. 
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Does anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
