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.

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
