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 :)

    • Yes, I had ordered the spherical bushings at the same time as the rest. I have high hopes for the anti squat reduction kit. 
    • Make sure you use the spherical bushes** on the lower arms, ifyou do that. ** at least, if not the whole replacement lower arm.
    • The tap for coolant flow control will be stuck open. It's not just the air door motor that dies.
    • Not really, but the heater box is pretty simple mechanically....if the door is one way the air bypasses the heater core and if it is the other way it goes through it for warm air.  If you are sure the actuator you moved manually is for the heater mix (there would also be one for output air direction) then I'd take the heater box out and see what is happening (you'll have to regass and re-coolant the systems afterwards) BTW pp724 onwards from the GTR workshop manual cover the system in good detail, it is probably worth checking. I think the IAT sensor might be a problem electrically for getting cold (if you got 24 error code not -24 it thinks the incoming air is -50c) and it covers how to test the sensor (although most likely it is either not plugged in or a wire is damaged)
    • Use the GKTech subframe bush and bring your subframe 10mm closer to the chassis. You'll need to fix an exhaust hanger to suit. One of the best mods I've done.
