where is Elder Scrolls V already??

Elder Scrolls > Fallout

not sure I agree with the > sentiment but they are both epic games. I hear that there might be a Elder Scrolls MMO coming out sometime in the next 12-18 months but they might just be rumours. I dont understand why Elder Scrolls V isnt out yet considering Oblivion was such a massive commercial success selling over 5 million copies on the PS3 and 360 alone. I have probably spent thousands of hours doing every little quest collecting every awesome piece of armour or weapons multiple times. Its even my gf's 2nd favourite game after the Sims so we had to get a copy of it for the 360 too so she could play it on the 360 and I could play it on the PC :D

not trolling, I was seriously unimpressed by the game... The storyline was f**king shit, the ending sucked dogs balls especially... They actually FORCE you to go into the stupid chamber full of radiation and die... completely ignoring the facts that you've been fighting radiation the whole game, have radiation suits, rad-aways and a new friend who is completely immune to radiation. You even get to ask him and he's all like 'This is your destiny, I can not interfere...'

I stood there for like 5 minutes... they're all just staring at me, forcing me to committ suicide. It was a seriously depressing thing to have to go through.

This is after you spent ages fighting a government branch who ALSO WANTED TO TURN THE DAMN THING ON! Why the f**k were we fighting? Why not just let them do it?

Stupid f**king game.

Someone never got the DLC

Already pre-orderd the collectors special uber edition of radioactive glory because I'm a sucker.

So did anyone buy this? I've only played it for a couple of hours but it seems almost the same as Fallout 3 with some differences. Will have to keep playing.

Played about 10hrs so far, pretty much same as Fallout 3, just a different setting. So far it's less buggy than F3, but that's not saying much. Still enjoying it, but kinda dissapointed there are so few changes.

Yeah i got it. Basically the same but that's ok.. there are different things to do and i loved f3 so i'm happy.. There is an (almost) guarenteed way to win caravan though.. So bottlecaps arent much of an issue LOL

I have been buying every playing card ever but I haven't played a single game of caravan, not that I need any money. The vendors run out of cash before I do. Not that far into it really. Huge emphasis on staying on the road at least early on which had me running around whatsits field early on then seeing the dude on the road on the way. FFFFFFFUUUUUUU

As usual some of the text in it is great. I suggest you read the employee notice on the computer in the HeliosOne building on the second floor. Good times.

The CE is pretty cool, poker chips and playing cards and the like.

Ohh it's harder?! Well that changes a lot. That was the main thing that pissed me off in Fallout 3. Way to easy and I hit max level cap way before I finished it and I was basically just following the story line.

FO3 has lots of content unless you just follow the main storyline.. it was easy.. especially once you have the Point Lookout expansion and make that your first mission.. get gingwei's sword and the armour.. rest of the game is simple LOL.. Also the expansion packs extended the game after the end..

New Vegas is harder yes.. The Giant Radscorpion's are a bitch.. Havent met a deathclaw yet LOL.. Main storyline is supposed to ake 20hrs to complete..

Only issue is you can win caravan 99% of the time if you understand the rules.. So caps are never an issue, you can buy a persons stuff.. play caravan with them and get your caps back LOL..

lol harder, maybe if pathing wasn't retarded still. Incinerate the Deathclaws from the quarry wall. What's that Nightkin? can't knock over a chair? lulz pewpew.

I like that Veronica can punch off heads (unarmed skill 103 base) which will be handy in Casinos (no weapons allowed) but I also like that Boone is the ultimate walking to new place no wasted ammo guy. I think multi-companion mod is in order.

lol if not using exploits deathclaws and the nightkin near new vegas pwn my level 14 character with bullet weapons, or even the experimental plasma rifle I got from REPCONN.

buggy as shit, but possibly one of the most detailed games I've ever played. Couldn't get over the amount of quests, characters and unique landscape in New Vegas itself (finally got there after nearly 20 hours lol)

i did give up on the camp searchlight / finding irradiated dog tags quest though, i must have searched through the whole fkn town at least 5 times.

Stupid f**king game.

You can pick one of the three, do it yourself, let the girl do it or do it yourself, either way the game ends there, but if you get the DLC it starts up again and theres loads to do, i havent done EVERYTHING till this day even after playing it for over 100 hours

i lost all respect for the fallout series after 3, 3 was ok, but the ending was shitfull, once the game ends thats it... the story was short also.

Again, get the DLC :P

New Vegas is harder yes.. The Giant Radscorpion's are a bitch.. Havent met a deathclaw yet LOL.. Main storyline is supposed to ake 20hrs to complete..

lol if you see a deathclaw before it see's you, SAVE, it took me about 8 attempts to get to a certain place past 3 deathclaws, one can kill you with about 5 or 6 strikes, im on level 12 atm

hmm, i might have to try this game one day,

Definately worth it, the hardcore mode makes it more difficult/interesting, finding water is a bitch lol and of course the stimpacks not being instant makes it a whole different ball park

    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
