sweet. I'll go have a look at one when i get a minute spare

Running Windows on boot camp is pretty good actually. Been doing that for the last 6 years. So far so good. Else the Dell XPS are pretty decent.
Just spent 2 hours washing my skyline. No wax, no polish, just soapy water.

The main software is HP tuners, which looks to be only windows compatible. Are the MAC's able to have windows installed on them?
 


I do agree for music n movies apple do a good job but like u said ur software is windows.
Im not 100% but if you wana boot windows im pretty sure you have to boot from bios meaning every time u want window ul have to restart to access. if you like me where my laptop in is sleep mode since day dot...... might be annoying.

Also make sure you play with the both laptop as mac are a handful if you not use to it and
And windows 10.......... i personally hate it so much that i built my own pc n dads pc and still got my hands on installers windows 7 yes still available if you look hard.

Key points make sure it has a SSD (so you boot very fast) large or with HD combo, heaps of RAM 4gb min, and decent power like 2.4gzh quad core so that it will last you the next 10yrs. [emoji6]

With the mac if u install windows on it via boot camp it requires a reboot and select the os (operating system) u wish to boot into. If u do it via parallels extra software windows opens inside the mac os so its really easy to switch between tbe different os's (if that makes sense) the downside about macs is price even staff price on em is shite most staff wait for 10% off and buy then. My reason for liking macs is lack of maintenance on em they (in my personal opinion) last longer than regular pc, quite hard to get malware and viruses on em (but not impossible like some people will lead u to believe but quite hard). Anyway if u have any questions feel free to ask.

Big fan of the mac laptops. My old mbp 15 bought in 2010 is still running very well. Sold it for 33% of purchase price. Know the guy who has it now, says it runs like new. Windows based laptops on the other hand, would be running at its last legs by now. And the touchpad on the macs omg so good. Desktop wise, narp, no macs for me, pc better.

Yeah the bottleneck with my old mbp was the hdd. I replaced it with a SSD, ran so well!

Looks like a refresh for the macs may be coming end of the month. I bought a 2015 mbp 15 refurbished from Apple Store at staff rates 6 months ago lol. Thank god for friends in retail [emoji13]

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
