Hey all.

Need a 14-15" laptop bag, must be able to fit a notebook or two, basic tech tools, HDD's without stretching.

Had no luck with Myer/DJ's/JB/Apple Store at chady today.

Needed this weekend.

Any ideas?

Toorak based.

Crumpler are the best bags I have found, to suit all different kinds of use. Awesome durability and design... They make notebook bags in all sizes and they don't look like notebook bags from the outside which is a plus.

try msy in box hill

thx, but they are flamin mongrels.

nice quality, but look like they are aimed at school kids.

pretty cheap but quality lappy bags. I've got a couple of belkin bags from there. Also Harris Tech does some cheap deals from time to time too.

thanks, but need something i can walk in and grab. will see it HT is open tomorrow.

Lol @ MSY. It's either MSY or CPL, which one is the lesser of two evils? :D I've found MSY generally to have much better customer service.

Fair call re Crumpler they have some outrageous designs I stick to the more conservative colourways.

Scorptec for warranty/service!

wtf... warranty/service on a bag?

look it up on the internets, take your laptop in, jam it in when you get there, if it fits, buy it.

i meant in general....

Ended up back at Myer looking at Samsonite stuff, got a $230 one for $115. Best I could find to fit everything without going to a backpack style, or the bigger samsonite range that would be that bit big for day to day.

I get work to buy them and I love Targus backpacks. They're around $70-$140, but the quality is top notch. Very well made and rugged.

Find the model you want, then go to www.staticice.com.au and search on it. That will do the shopping around for you in a few seconds.

its funny you mention warranty on a laptop bag. they can actually be faulty :P in my experience have seen a few laptop bags be replaced within warranty (stitch faults etc). you never ever know!!

ever!!

    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
