Just curious if anyone would be interested in my laptop.

It's just over a year old, 1.3ghz Centrino system, built in wifi (802.11b), 60gb hdd, 256mb ram, cd burner, dvdrom, 14.1" screen.

Comes with a specifically made genuine Sony Vaio case, aibo plush dog (which also acts as an lcd screen cleaner).

Machine runs both Linux and WinXP perfectly.

Looking for $3,000 (damn Skylines and always wanting to go faster!!)

Jason.

I don't really want to rain on you here uneekwahn. But I can get a brand new sony for $2300 - $2400 approx off a bloke in America. My brother bought a HP off him for $1600.

ps:..i don't know him personally, or get anything if someone buys off him. Just thought you guys should know about him.

Heres one of his items on ebay for the UK market, but he will do the same deal for Australia.

So you may want to think about your price. Unfortunately PC prices drop quicker than car prices. If you do sell it , then keep this bloke in mind when you are looking for a new one. He was very easy to deal with. My brother got his in 6 working days.

good luck

Yeah, I understand you can get other sony laptops cheaper, but one, you are getting those from another country, you're not always sure you won't have to pay duty, or you'll even get the product, and this is actually Sony's flagship Vaio.

No raining on my parade :D

If I sell it, I sell it, if I don't, its no fuss, just wanting to know if there is a market for it, thats all :P

Yep, we all hate the old tax squeeze, but this bloke gets around it. Not sure I can say it here though.

When my brother bought his HP, he even got a world wide HP warrenty.

Hope you sell yours though mate. And when you need to get another, might want to add him to your favourites for refference. He is hard to find. I found him by fluke.

Throw yours on ebay, so many often pay more for items at auctions. Worth a shot.

Good luck

    • You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!
    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
