Possibly the most hipster thing I've ever had the displeasure of skimming through.

Referring to Glen Iris as a leafy suburb wtf

Micro herbs and paleo pancakes, go fk yourself

nah bro, ignore the paleo stuff. (had to look up what paleo was... sounds like polio)

anything with chorizo or hash browns. maybe some of the stuff with buttermilk

also, whats with all those STI liberty owners going on about there only being 300 available? theres like 3-4 pages of them on carsales. 300 in Aus is surprisingly not that rare. alacantra seats would be lucky to last 100,000kms.

I don't know shit about processors etc but the both are quad core i7... Asus is i7-4710HQ, Dell is i7-4712HQ - guessing 12 is better than 10..?

Actually the opposite...

The 4710HQ has a faster clock speed than the 4712HQ (6% faster)

The 4710HQ also uses more power (20% more)

Edit: As it's in a laptop, aim for the more efficient cpu with less power consumption (the 4712HQ in the Dell)

A desktop doesn't really suit my situation though... hence the desire to purchase another laptop

buy a 15" that's got a gtx video card and 1080p, spec it with a butt load of RAMs and SSD, and buy a docking station and a nice big monitor, keyboard n mouse.

Yeah docking stations are the bomb, only problem is you are limited and have to buy a laptop with the 'docking port' under it. (Dell latitudes etc) would be awesome for a home desktop/laptop solution though.

Like this, then chuck a Dell monitor on, attach a keyboard and mouse to dock, done.

I agree I wouldn't go over 15" or be a pain in the ass to move around

Forgetting all of this docking business as it's highly unlikely I'll ever do it... Which of the dell/Asus I posted before would you buy? Exact same price with slightly differing specs..

Or any other options around that price?

And pretty sure my current one is 17" and I can't say I've ever had trouble moving it around.. Harden up kunce

Anyone who complains about carrying around a 17 inch laptop needs to lift more

What are you constantly in a marathon

How I picture dezz...

except more dodgy looking.

I wouldn't go that dell, 4k screens on a laptop just look stupid at native res and you have to use the shitty windows scaling.. which looks sheit. aka, icons for ants.

I'd go one of the MSIs linked above > Asus > Dell

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
