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

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • 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
