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]

    • Did you pay with a credit card? I'd be putting a charge back through then finding a new sparky to sort it out. 
    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
