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 :)

    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
