That old Sun gear was pretty much unkillable - I have seen a few V240's with similar uptimes but they were not still hosting mission critical services :)

I miss that kind of gear and the awesome service you got before Oracle bought the company.

yeah the ultra 10 were solid....if you kept power to them,  we had an issue where the HDD got thermal shock if you powered them down.

so stupid reliable till you rebooted.  we imaged drive prior to reboot as we ended up with about a 1 in 3 chance the HDD would not spin back up.

I installed windows 98 se on a gigabyte iram back in the mid 2000s.

Amazing bootup speed.

Took about 19 seconds from power button press to desktop, and about 15 seconds of that was the bios, This was before you could get an ssd.

 

 

still the most reliable windows I've touched.

most of what I touch now is *NIX so not had to support M$ setup for a bit

Definitely had similar issues with the old SCSI drives in V240's when we had to move them but if you left them running they were bulletproof apart from the tiny twin 20mm fans on the heatsink. We had it down to the point where we could slide the box out on the rails, pop the lid and do a replacement of the busted fan while the box was live as they were so easy to work on.

Had hands down the best system ever in those machines if you ever had to replace / migrate them - all of the system ID info, MAC's, ALOM settings etc were all kept on a little smartcard in the front of the machine, just plug the replacement chassis in, swap the drives over into the same bays, swap the smartcard and power on :)

I preferred win 8/8.1 over the Windows 10 start menu.

I hate Win10 start menu with a god damned passion, to the point where it's made me not care about the entire thing and left the start menu in a complete mangled heap and I just search for everything now.

It just used to be so nice and organizable in the way you wanted it to be, now its just.. got options you can't undo, apps you can't remove, nested folders that show the way MS wants and jesus christ it irritates me.

Hi all,

Real quick one as I know this is the most used thread in the Vic section. 

Does anyone know of a Silver R33 GTR on black 18" rims that has been stolen?

I work in Mulgrave opposite the BMW headquarters and a Silver R33 just pulled up exactly where mine was almost stolen from and performed a launch in an otherwise odd location.

The paranoid part of me is suggesting it's the same shithead who tried to take mine. Maybe i'm going overboard and its just someones car being tuned. Does anyone know of this car?

Lol blows engine and knows it, pouring out smoke, doesn't think to get off the racing line for half a lap

After spending the better part of a session blocking other cars.

That corner isn't one you want to suddenly find out you have gone over something and can't slow down for.

Sharing the road with their fanbase is bad enough

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.

      To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all

      300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
