For all you IT people

Is it possible to get a SCSI to COM port converter? Or even SCSI to USB?

f**king new server that came in doesn't have a SCSI port and I don't have time to order a SCSI card...

Need it for a bullshit tape drive.

Nope. Not a chance. (I wish - it'd be much cheaper)

Are you after a std 50 pin card or something that needs 68 pin lvd?

I can imagine you'd have a number of issues with a USB SCSI converter - both in terms of performance (depending, USB2 will max out at between 30-60MB/s) , and in all likelihood the tape drive will require LVD SCSI (most tape drives do) - which I don't think you're going to find a USB SCSI converter supporting (or at least at a reasonable cost)

What sort of server is it? Reasonably recent? PCI/PCI-X/PCIe?

And yeah - Plain ol' SCSI is just about dead really - SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) is pretty much what everything server-grade comes with these days.

Brand new Dell - PCIe compatible from the top of my head.

I might have to shop around for a card...

Ring ServiceSA brother. They'll have all the information.

yep, motor reg are the guys to call. i have access to TRUMPS at work, but its the "lite" version and unfortunately is read only, and does not show demerit... so dont even ask me to sort out ur demerit points :)

      And what is the significance of the Italian word for "reserved"? AFAIK, it means nothing WRT GTRs.

      Wires cut underneath shifter cover

      There's no way that we can tell what they were for because they are not stock. Somebody had something installed that needed an earth and took it 98% out.

      Hey SAU,  I pulled my fascia apart to remove my cluster and found these snipped grounded wires, and a black wire off to the side. I was wondering if anyone knew what these were for?  To note: My headunit is not powered and has not been since I purchased the vehicle the cigarette lighter was not hooked up either, unsure if this has anything to do with it?

      Welcome!  Any pics of the new GTR? You'd be amazed how many people have minimal plans initially. 🤣

      Hello all I've been lurking around and reading many threads for quite some time, so I figured I may as well join in. I recently picked up a R33 GTR 3 V-SPEC RISERVATA that’s mostly stock. The car has always been a bit of a dream for me, and now I’m slowly starting to plan the next steps — nothing too crazy yet, but I’d like to keep it clean and responsive while pushing a bit more power.
