Kingston 4G(2x2G) DDR3 1600MHz CL9 HyperX

Samsung 1.5TB Spinpoint F2 Silencer Series

Samsung SH-B083A Blu-Ray Combo SATA

eVGA GF GTX460 768M DDR5 2xDualLinkDVI miniHDMI

Antec NSK6582B Black Super Mid Tower Case with EarthWatts 430D Watt PSU

Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit OEM

Total Price: $1511.50*

* Approximate prices and parts after preliminary research only. Will conduct more research if you decide to go ahead.

* + Cost for Martin to assemble: Bottle of home brew and/or a night with your sister

* Warranty: Individual parts warranty only plus Martin's personal guarantee that it will be assembled with the utmost care, probably while drunk and watching the cricket. Additional warranty can be discussed if assembly payment involves sister...

* You can knock $100 ish off if you are happy with a heaps legal copy of Windows XP

* If you are willing to splash another couple of hunjy I would suggest doubling the ram and upgrading to Win 7 Pro

This would not be a rocket ship but should smash autocad out of the park without trouble, especially if you lash out and double the RAM.

it's already painted?!?! god damn you work fast boy!!

No painting...... wtf are you talking about? I wanted a black bonnet... therefore I got a black bonnet..

Nice build... definately go the i7 and 8mb cache. Definately go the 8gb RAM too.

Never heard of the video card though... what's the go?

Who the hell needs a legal copy of Win 7 anyway

Mangs...

When burning a DVD from VOB, IFO and BUP files, do you need to have an IFO and a BUP for EACH VOB file?

Because:

I have a VIDEO_TS folder with

VIDEO_TS.IFO

VIDEO_TS.BUP

VIDEO_TS.VOB

VTS_01_0.BUP

VTS_01_0.IFO

VTS_01_1.VOB

VTS_01_2.VOB

And when burned - it won't read in any DVD player... I've never really dealt with burning stuff before. Can anyone shed some light on it for me please?

doing it wrong clearly. Get some black doors on there leave the rest red :P

No way mang. If you're going to make it look like it's still waiting for paint, one white door, one black door, the rest red. People aren't gonna see it from both sides at the same time anyway, so why match em up?

Glad you approve

Its the cheapest Nvidia GTX460 that just happens to almost make budget.

They are all reference designs anyway so the brand doesn't really matter. Expensive ones just tend to overclock better.

Everyone! Win 7 is awesome!

now im feeling so fly like a G6....

makes me wanta buy a ford... weird...

Makes me want to buy a Gulfstream

Gulfstream > ford. That is all.

afternoon chaps

Been ages since I've done it... from memory its a bit of an art form. Grab a legit DVD and check out the folder structure?

I think you need to burn it as a 'video disc' or something too, if you just burn the files it won't work...

:)

That's what she said

Something different

Naah, black bootlid, blue bonnet, one white door and one green door :P

Oh hellllls yeah. Fuckin' winrar! That'll totes make it look like it's waiting to go the painters! That'll be the best way to achieve the look for sure :)

Cheers for the DVD info. I did burn it as a video disc, but it told me to eat a dick. It just won't work :D

Will check out a real dvd file tree and see what it looks like :)

Wow, I swore they were singing about the Pontiac G6 in the song...

Thank you wikipedia... you have left egg all over my face again...

    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
    • Could be correct. Meter might be that far out. Compare against a known 5 ohm 1% resistor.
    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap.  (edit: I went out and did it right now, the line I had chosen did appear to have no vacuum on it, it used to go to the front of the intake, I've now completely blocked that one off at the bracket that holds several vacuum lines by the firewall.  I T'd into the vacuum line that goes from that bracket to the vacuum pump at the front of the car, but no change in the MAP readings).  Using the new vacuum line that has obvious vacuum on the hose, im still only getting readings between -6.0 and -5.2.  I'm wondering why the ECU was detecting -5.3 when nothing was connected to the MAP nipple and ECU MAP selected as the source. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
