PM me, will be too hard to keep track of if everyone posts in this thread.

Also note the stock levels, there is no stock left of the samsungs (which is a b*tch, I wanted them too).

My recommendation on the remainder would be the Western Digital. I don't trust Seagate, and have no experience with Hitachi.

EDIT: Actually, I'm tempted to give hitachi a crack at that price. Twice the storage for the same price...

I have 4 of the Seagate 7200RPM S2 drives (2 at work and 2 at home) I get 150mb/sec drive to drive transfer and have been running them non stop for over a year. Very good drive and fastest transfer rate on a 7200 I have ever seen. Seagate have awesome warranty from what I have been told also.

Western Digital used to be good from what I have been told but haven't made a decent drive since the original Caviar

Hmmm...

I know seagate used to be good, but then I got a couple of dodgy drives from them just after they bought out maxtor. Perhaps they've since fixed up the quality control at maxtor's old facilities. Might be worth giving them another shot.

Maxtors used to have about a 90% failure rate for me...

W.D. I have never had an issue with, but then again, I haven't bought any WDs since samsung started making drives.

I haven't had an issue with a samsung yet either (touch wood).

I have probably used a hitachi drive or two in the past, but not enough for them to have left me with an opinion either way.

@Dan, PMs received :D

@Nee-san. Dan wants 5, If you want 2 I can probably splurge on 3... so we should have enough.

I'll give it the rest of today for anyone else to jump on the bandwagon if they want. I'll need coin by Thursday or so... bank transfer or cash at the AGM would work

You can indeed change your order. But if you want less, we may not end up with enough to go ahead. No big deal, though, definitelty don't order them if you don't want them.

Which Hitachi you looking at? I can't see any on the list with 64MB cache...

I'd be keen for a few drives. I want to build a NAS to replace my external drive, probably going for a 4 drive RAID configuration. I'll look over the list again tonight and send a PM with what I want.

Seagate went through a bad batch early last year but I've not heard anything bad about them in the last 6-9 months. Warranty was average though, mate of mine who tried to return one was told to download a error detecting utility to detect a fault, that couldn't do so because it couldn't read the drive. Due to the fact it was dead.

My fuel guage has stopped working :(

You'll never have to fill up with fuel again now! unless its stopped on empty...

Kia Rio in the Gully at Aspley Hungry Jacks.

8 youths at Harvey Norman looked like they knew something about it*. I told this to the Police who were there investigating the gully car who were far too interested in the Skyline for my liking on a rainy night.

*They may have actually been innocent. But they were hard parking P platers who looked like they could use a good cop scare.

      S15 Spec R

      By RP1421 · Posted

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
