Sounds like it has something to do with timing belt/pulley area. mine has a sound like rubbing under 2000tpm from cam cover but it isnt rubbing. been there for 18months lol

So you reckon it could possibly be normal? I never noticed this sound before and in underground parking I can hear it a bit more clearly...

@sneaky pete:

You seem knowledgable on SSDs, school me. My knowledge is out of date.

My motherboard only supports SATA2 :(. Am I better off with:

A) 2 drives on the SATA2 ports in RAID0

B) A SATA3 PCIe card with a single big drive?

C) A SATA3 PCIe card with 2 smaller drives in RAID0?

I'm going to need at least '120GB', so a single 120 or two 60s are both options.

I still go traditional methods.

I have a few clients who use SSD but found its really only useful on boot... And too many horror stories with RAID when one HDD kicks the bucket

define 'traditional methods' :P

HDD performance is definitely the most serious bottleneck on my system. Needs MOAR speed

I generally don't give a f*ck if my system raid dies, I just rebuild. No big deal.

I get the impression that for SSD's, running a RAID setup (the one that share the data, not the one that mirrors it across both drives) doesn't produce any noticeable gains due to the way the data is written to the drives themselves.

There's supposedly a decent difference with SATA2 vs SATA3 etc with the latest generation of drives

Unless your data isn't compressible (eg movies, or whatever your working with, you'll have to figure that bit out), devices that use the 'sandforce' drivers are supposed to be pretty darn good.

Choice depends on your budget though, but if you want what's considered by most to be the "best" consumer level SSD, the OCZ vertex 3 is probably it. PCI-e plug ins are about 50% more expensive, which is crazy.

Honestly, due to the fact yuo've still got a SATA2 motherboard, i'd just pick up a OCZ vertex 2 120gb (review. They might be 6 months outdated, but are still a great drive (blow away any disc based hard drive), wont bottleneck on your setup and are cheap, $190 from umart for a 120gb or $350 for 240GB

As far as usefulness of a SSD goes, depends on what your doing. I'm not going out of my way to get one (though 200 bucks for a 120gb one is cheap) because i rarely need the speed. other people might.

As far as reliability goes, your not realistically going to run out of cycles on the memory. Read an article on that point, and they pointed out that, though there might be a 10000 cycle limit, the fact that you aren't rewriting the entire drive every time you do something it would take about 10 years of normal usage to run out.

NFI sorry.

*snip*

Did some more research today, looks like you still see a fair bit of benefit with RAID0. I think I'll go with two vertex IIs in RAID0, might see if I can splurge for 2 x 120s...

Haha, I would love to play, but I haven't played a game for about... 8ish years... I actually come from quite a background of cricket until I took an injury which stopped me from walking for about 1 year and of course forced me to give it up

I imagine now I work on the PC 24/7 I'd be pretty unco - Although I still try to train quite a bit

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
