Xbox has the same problem, CPU and GPU heatsinks don't stay clamped down enough and vibrations + heat make the components seperate from the motherboard over time. You can also fix an Xbox by putting it in the oven, but it doesn't always work and you can easily damage the other components on the MB. It fixed my mate's Xbox, though afterwards, his Xbox would occasionally freeze with intense graphic gameplay. Ash's mate reckons $85 but not guaranteed to fix...they use a rework station though which is much safer than ye olde oven lol.

lies, ghetto fixes are always the best

just got back from my first proper ride. still alive!

did ~60ks

hit ~130 on the freeway, was freezing! felt like my chest was being punched in...

wrists raped

talked so much shit to myself i ate most the insides of my mouth/cheeks, gets lonely...

at 100km/h bike sits at just under 9k

/bikes

Ride on Sunday may be a go ahead now...bike is getting serviced this morning, hopefully pick up around midday :)

And yeah you spend a lot of time talking to your helmet, mostly about how bad drivers are.

It does take a fair bit of energy out of you, even though u guys are buff kents as well, I'm the smallest with heaviest bike :(

Make a thread? :) <3

mostly about how bad drivers are.

Was on melton hwy doing the speed limit this a$shole gets up my arse starts flashing his lights, got out of his way/showed him my finger. 5 seconds later I pull up next to him at the lights, gave him a clap congratulating him on getting so far ahead of me, didnt even have the balls to look my way

On my way home exiting the freeway I stalled the bike taking off uphill at the lights, mint chick stops behind me to make sure I dont get rear ended by someone speeding up the ramp eventhough I waved her to go round, waited there till I got the bike going again.

Moral of the story - there's bad/good drivers just hope I dont come across the bads often

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
