as the topic suggests. does overclocking mess with the voltages or anything to do with the HDD? mine was only 5 mnths old and totally died. to the point the comp wouldnt boot without unplugging the HDD. even tryed it in a friends comp as the slave, and it wouldnt boot either.

thinkin its had an epic brain fart, and just shorts anything it goes near

ideas?

itsa 750gig seagate barracuda

just talking about overclocking the cpu ram etc, not the drives. just simple stuff.

thanks D C, thats what i thought.

What firmware issues? i havent seen anything about it, got any links? and wtf, did i just send away a perfectly good HDD?

it worked great for 5 months, why would it change over night? and why would it stop any other sata drives from working?

i am confused

Nah it was every single 7200.11 drive with the old firmware

They did fix it of course...

But as he said it was about 5 months old in his post & that fits pretty nicely with when the problem (5-7 months old now)

if this is referring to the servo lock issue, it is for hdd codes ending 333as/340as for the 1tb drives. there was also an issue with early 1tb drives where the pcb fails. unfortunately this was on more than one of the factory fw releases so it made it hard to pcb swap. the newer drives ending 528as havent had any come back as yet.

depends on the reseller. if you shipped the unit direct to seagate, it is a brand new replacement. they generally dont hold old stock. but as for the reseller, it is hard to say. post the details on the drive and i can get you some more info.

i went thru umart, but the did charge me the postage to and from seagate, so i'd assume it SHOULD be straght from seagate, but who knows really

it seems newer details as follows

barracuda 7200.12

ST3750528AS

750gb

firmware cc35

date code 09517

unfortunately i dont have the old one to refer to but it does seem newer

and i couldnt find anything relevant to this drive on the seagate site

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
