Better off putting 5k on Adelaide this weekend 

Was mucking around with Scorptec's custom build web app and came to a very awesome build with 5k. 1080ti SLI...

Also tried making the best PC I could within reason, using $2400 CPU etc. Came up around 10k...surprisingly cheap for the horsepower.

I'm tempted to up my gambling amounts but betting with overseas bookies is risky... Stupid government won't let me live bet online. But everyone else is allowed to piss their money away on the football at the touch of a button live because it's more popular than UFC. f**k off the sphincter of the universes

Sli is such a waste of money. Nobody does much optimisation so you pay twice the money for 30% improved fps.

Yeah true, but that rings true for any flagship / top end product. That $2400 10 core i7 isn't twice as fast as the 8 core for half its price.

IMO the best balance between obsoletion and spending is the upper midrange. Last a good few years and allows an upgrade or two if necessary before another build. Or in my case make it last 10 years...

Yeah SLI often causes more trouble that it's worth there's been numerous tests that shows stuttering etc 

Big single FTW, almost like a GTR I guess.

 

Two big singles...can you not remove the SLI bridge and run off one display adaptor most of the time, then connect them when needed?

That PC I put together had two 1080ti 11gb, so unless you're going Quattro / CAD rendering cards, it was pretty much the best gaming card you could get at the current time.

No. You just save the money you would have spent on the 2nd card and buy a new top of the line one to replace your current card after a few years.

Braided E85 fuel lines in

I think the standard 23 year old ones did well to last 5 years on the stuff, but when it starts dripping fuel on your garage floor and you notice elevated levels of euphoria whilst driving it's probably time to do things properly

5 years? That's decent run considering the amount of propaganda associated with e85 when it first came on market.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
