M’Board : Gigabyte EP45T-UD3LR @ 131

CPU : E8500 at 225 or E8400 at 207

GPU : either 4850 at 139 or 4870 at 159

Monitor : Asus 23” VH232T 2ms at 219

RAM : G.Skill-NT 4GB DDR3 at 103

HDD : Hitachi 1TB at 97

Get the 4870, you can crank up the E8400 pretty easy even on the stock cooler, with something better you could run it all the time at around 3.8-4GHz, 8500 will do it easier.

FYI those 512 4870 are 'while stocks last' iirc, I picked up the last one at Clayton the other day.

      Front facing Intercooler

      By BuiltNotBought · Posted

      I’ve read the previous posts so just looking for latest information on how people have dealt with front facing plenum is it a defect etc or didn’t pass roadworthy or was it not noticed? Have a r34 and deciding if I should make a hole on the driver side or not.  I know some people have said blitz return flow but I might get rid of the stock intake down the line for a plenum so I rather set up for that now plus I already have a standard Intercooler. Car is mainly stock  Thanks.

      American owner: what scanner for JOBD port?

      Actually, if having and keeping the stock ECU is the plan, the correct answer is to put Nistune into the ECU and improve the situation, not just look at it.

      Yeah so physically that port is consult not OBD2, but also be aware that "JODB" is not really a thing - it came in around 2000(ish) but is not a standard like ODB is, each manufacturer had differences. If you are looking at ECU only and have a standard ECU, go with Datascan as Turbo Tapin said. Per another recent discussion here thought that won't do other systems like in a modern car, for example bleeding ABS
