Well if you're goin over some bumpy roads with a hard drive reading away, you're looking at best shortening the HDD's life substantially (I'm talkin about the standard ones used on PC's not the ones used in black boxes and standalone machinery they're a completely fdifferent piece of hardware and much much much more expensive)... at worst... instant sector damage by the head.

Usually when one dies it goes Click Burrrrrrrrrrr Click Buuurrrrrrrrrrr Click Burrrrrrrrrrr.... that's the head trying to find the first read position, and not being able to move up to the track because its been bumped.

I reckon MP3 CD players are much better on the long run, and much more economical.

And yes... the AIWA's still goin strong. Jus found out why one particular cd was skipping (none of my others do), coz it was a shitty quality CD... hehe another thing to watch out for on these things I guess.

Maybe, but it wouldn't take long to buffer a whole MP3, so it would have to be really bad luck for it to buffer the wrong section of the disc because of a bump.

Besides, it will only go to the buffer in the situation where you go over a bump and it can't read for that split second, otherwise it would go straight from the CD. If you go over bumps when it is reading into the buffer and then go over more bumps at exactly the same moment in the song when you're playing it back, you most likely are driving off road and should be worried about your bodykit, not whether your song is skipping or not :P Basically, I don't think skipping would be much of an issue with MP3s.

    • Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
