Hey guys, I need some help from the experts here (hopefully I put this in the right area if not Mods please move).

I am trying to install my copy of NISSAN FAST on my new laptop but I can't get it to run. I have WIN7 Pro 64bit and the program seems to be having issues running. I can't setup the CD's. The actual software will load but when I try to open it it says no CD and when I try to run the cd setup part of FAST it throws a 64bit 32bit error of some sort.

I tried running in compatibility mode and that did nothing, ran as admin and re ran install as admin and none of this works. Will this work in 64bit Windows or not? I have searched here and on google for a while and the only info I found was a guy said it will run in compat mode on 64bit 7 by moving a file but he doesn't say which one.

I am thinking I will just dual boot XP or run it on my NIStune laptop but would really like to get it running on my new machine.

Any help from anyone running this on 7 64bit would be appreciated :wub:

Just use XPMode in Win7, It'll work then.

Not 64bit

Win 7 32bit is no probs.... no need for an XP Mode, just run it. As far as I know FAST is not compatible with 64bit OS's yet... well at least the 4 different versions I have tried.

Nope won't work. I found out today, Windows 7 64bit has got no support for 16bit apps (dropped it as of XP) and even though it is a 32bit app it still has a some legacy 16bit files or some BS. As a result of this it won't run in 64bit or in compatibility mode :whistling:

Looks like the only way to do this now is to run a virtual machine or just install it on my XP NIStune lappy. Unless someone actually has it running on 64bit. Oh well thanks for trying to help guys. Thread can prob be closed now :whistling:

Thats what i mean.

I'm 95% certain 64bit Win7, just setup XPMode, which is a XP virtual machine within Win7, and off you go.

That is correct. Windows XPMode is 32 bit in Windows 7 in both 64 and 32 bit editions.

But if you are still having issues - run it completely in a virtual machine - it will also allow portability of the app - just copy the VM image.

At least that confirms what I was thought was right, and the whole purpose behind "XPMode" :whistling:

The image is only around 1.1 - 1.5gb as well if memory serves me correct.

So not big at all for what you get.

I'd say more towards 2GB because of Windows XP SP3 being integrated with it.

Still portable considering most USB sticks are 4GB+......

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
