most people who are recommending ritek have u actually tried copying one of the riteks again from the ritek media???

this is where the problems with them arise as i stated... burning to them isnt an issue and neither is playing them... ive been using princos for years now even their CDs before i got a burner but started having issues with them however at least i was able to copy from them again.

that test u did was interesting.... im guessing the higher the rating the better? i know the TDKs i was using were awesome... no issues at all... but they werent printable which makes my printer redundant ;)

inark:

I had a neighbour just drop over 2 Ritek's that he was trying to watch/copy that were both skipping (didn't skip for me on 2 different DVD Players 2wks ago when I first burnt them) and he couldn't copy them either.

I'm re-doing them right now with these Verbatims.

Yes the higher the rating the better. The spikes on the graphs are where you get skips, pauses, etc when watching the movies (or could be the parts that stop them from being duplicated again).

I must have used different RiTEK's maybe?? I burn all of my stuff @ 4x (I have an 8x burner)

All my masters are RiTEK's and ive burnt off them 100s of times :)

Could the burner have anything to do with it?

Yes the burner plays a part in how successful the burn is. Some burners perform well on media that other burners hate. The firmware plays a bigger part in it though as firmware revisions are generally only released as new media becomes available (brand, speed and dye content). Ie v1 of a firmware might be really good at 4x Ritek's but bad at 8x Riteks so they release a v2 to cover that problem. But then Ritek could change the dye chemical content midway through production and v2 could be worse than v1.

You just have to find a media (and model of that media) and stick to it until either you buy a new dvd burner or they stop making that particular media.

My choice! :D

I used to sell these things, I mean alot of them probably about 50000 peices a month easily I can tell u that princo's are not as good a disk as ritek. If you actually analyse the write quality, the riteks will win easily. Make sure you have the latest firmware on your dvd writer. Also note that each writer has different issues with different branded disks. Eg Sony/Liteon (they are the same drive) will be different than NEC/Pioneer (they also are pretty much the same) . Im not too sure which is the best drive right now but 3 months ago I bought a pioneer cause it was the best at that stage. After selling princos, I myself wouldn't use them. I only use riteks cause they are the cheapest high quality stuff out. Also be careful with dodgy media, ie branded riteks that aren't really riteks, grey imports etc. just my opinion.

I believe only 'current stock' is being sold with no more being ordered until the legal stuff is over.

Very interesting, I just ordered 5000 princo 8x -R media.

Will look into Riteks but at this point I have had very little problems with them and all my customers seem very happy.

We are selling the Pioneer, LG and Samsung DVD Writers. (must say Im very happy with the samsung drives! Cheap and seem to do the job very well.)

I'd skip straight past the Ritek (G05's) and go straight to something like TDK/Verbatim/Fuji. I believe Ritek has gone out of business anyhow, not sure how long stock will last (or of another company has bought them out).

Hearing very bad reports about Ritek's (both A grade genuine and other Ritek branded disc's).

Ive had TDK in the past ( DVD+R RW and DVD-R RW and both have failed after about 4 - 5 burns. Havent used the non RW form so will probably give them a try.

Stay clear of LASER I got 500 in ( 10 x 50 pcks ) and had 4 customers complain about more than half not working at all.

hmmmm i use 2 different burners and the riteks all do the same thing... ive just ordered 300 blank TDK printables.... f*k the yum cha brands im getting sick of their dodginess... like everything i spose u get what u pay for ;)

Where are u guys getting RiTEKs from? Ive tried numerous shops in the west side of Melbourne an no more RiTEKS for months, dunno how u guys can still get them now!?!?!

In the meantime, im using RiDATA, probably burnt off a good 5-600 none have failed me yet on 4x Even though i can i dont burn faster than that, just to be safe.

Isnt a good way of telling a good blank from a bad one is the colour of it? The darker the better? Thats what u mean by dye content isnt it Hippy? They did the test for PS2 laser compatibility!?! Princos hurt ur PS2 people!

Whats a cake of 50 TDK worth Narky?

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
