Rebuilt my PC. Pulled it apart, cleaned everything and put it back together. Also put a new CPU cooler in and Overclocked the FK out of it. Result: what feels like a brand new PC! (It's 4 years old)

When I get back can you help me OC my pc

got myself an i7 3770k

Yeah no worries Dan. It's pretty simple. Did you get a decent cooler for it?

That will have to be the first thing I do when I get back. Right now it's just running a stock cooler.

My GPU is a HD7950 I believe, might even purchase another one depending on how much money I save while over here.

An SSD is probably on the cards as well.

This is currently the best value cooler on the market and is ranked 3rd for air coolers. It is the only one worth buying unless you want to water cool your PC. If you have not got an ssd I do highly suggest one. Is the 7950 a 3gb card? If so that is still overkill. I run bf4 on ulta with my old gtx570.

Happy belated Bithday Shell!

I never knew why shell reduces the content blend in winter. It s because its so hard to start the car when you're at 85%. So when to the servo bought a gallon of 98 o dilute the E85. It started on the first go this morning with ice all over

I'm sure some of you guys have heard of Nigel Petrie and or seen his drift Hilux. Very well put together doco showing his passion and his commitment to what he loves. Great stuff!

Wow! Awesome Watch.

If that doesn't inspire anyone to turn a spanner then nothing will.

(got the day off today) :D

Gonna turn me a spanner.

I'm sure many of us would love to achieve that moment where no screw or bolt is to much for the mechanical mind ! What he has is a chronic passion - beautiful thing to see.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
