Interesting. That brian88 guy keeps pumping out new threads. Something must be up with that. I guess we will just have to wait for Steve to make an adjustment to it.

I put 2500km on my car within 2 days after buying it, then a further 2000km over the next couple of weeks. I wouldn't even call that bad.

You obviously didn't look hard enough: http://www.commbank.com.au/about-us/careers/ If a position is available, it will be listed. If not, then you can't apply. Lucky I'm with Westpac... and in Brisba

My CD player in the Aurion started playing up today, ERROR 3 seems to be a popular one. I tried inserting another CD in there whilst pushing eject, and got nothing.

Should I try and get it repaired under warranty, OR should I use this as an excuse to upgrade to something with a screen :D

My stupid question:

I know track days are pretty aggressive on brake pads, but I changed my brake pads (QFM HPX) at about 75,000km and now am at around 77,000km. In that time, I did about 3 Nebo runs and 1 track day. Just took my pads off now to apply anti-squeal grease and noticed my front pads have up to 2mm of material left before the wear indicators.

This is a little too fast wouldn't you think?

Hey everyone,

i require people's opinions on what i should do...

THE DILEMMA:

I have owned my computer for some 8 or 9 years now, and would really like to upgrade.

However, i have a few options on what i should do...

1. Purchase a Complete Tower with running system all ready to go

2. Purchase a Notebook/Laptop for ease of use, and versatility

3. Build my own system from scratch and have it customised any way I would like.

Now what i require for 'the' system to do is capable of handling Photoshop, and not crash out, Gaming will be high on the priority, and also a decent Processor...

May I please have your opinions on what's the best thing to do/ your experiences?

Thankyou,

Evo

Go option 3. Can work out really cheap for high performance. That's what I used to do in the past.

Now I personally go for number 2 but that's cause I just need a computer for the forums and nothing else really.

If gaming and photoshoping are the two biggest needs then go option 3. This will give you the most performance and bang for buck.

one tip... If you get a x86 CPU get a max of 4GB of memory as anymore than that cant technically be used by the processor.. if you get x64 go for way more memory.

Alright,

so taking both of your advice, i have decided to go with build my own system...

now how am i to check what is compatible with what?

Here is the list of what i have chosen, and i am not sure about Hard Drive space and Ram.

(Using Umart Online)

Processor

Motherboard

Case

Power Supply

Graphics Card

As it stands, i don't require a new monitor, or a new mouse and keyboard...

So will these parts function with each other?

Thankyou for all your help :D

Sorry, links fixed lol :P

yes, RAM i am not too sure of what the difference is in brand names and sizes...

and HDD... is that the Hard Drive? I think i would go for a bigger then usual, cause i like to store alot of photos.

Budget not really worried about, but i don't need to go all out and spend big for what I am after.

whats the best way to debadge my car without scratching the paint?

Still using the traditional hair dryer and fishing line method. Just make sure you pull tension on the fishing wire towards you (and the rear surface of the badge) so it effectively does not touch the body of the car. This would probably end up leaving more adhesive on the body, but that's nothing Goo Remover/Eucalyptus Oil and a soft cloth can't remove. You will probably need to use a swirl remover/cut and polish afterwards anyways.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Disconnecting batteries, ALWAYS disconnect the ground wire first. Doing this will also disconnect power, in general. Herb

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Hey guys, I’m wanting to disconnect my current winch, lightbar and UHF as I have new plans. I’ve installed a winch previously on another car so I get it’s a case of following the cables and disconnecting from the battery, etc but but safety wise, should I start by disconnecting the battery so the cables aren’t live orrrr? And if so how do it go this haha?

      Snapping wheel and axle studs

      Put a set of standard wheels on it and your problem will disappear. It is critical that the hole in the wheel centre is a snug fit on the axle boss (without wheel nuts fitted). If your wheels are sloppy on the axle boss this allows excess force on your wheel studs and they will break, as yours are doing. If you are unsure of what to do, go to a reputable tyre shop and get assistance.

      2zz idle / roughness when accelerating past 3k

      Hey everyone was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction with this issue I've been facing for a while now. My Celica's idle will drop down to almost 200rpm when stationery after hitting operating temperature. Pretty much feels like it's about to stall out but never actually does. When taking off from a set of lights it almost feels like it hesitates or is down on power and then all of a sudden it lurches forward and gets a boost in power again. Then again around 1,500-3,000rpm it feels down on power and in what I can only describe in the engine feeling scratchy. Past 3,000 rpm it gets a little boost in power again but still definitely feels down on power compared to what it used to be and still has that roughness. Note lift is also not working at the moment but I have changed the lift bolts, planning on cleaning the VVT and VVTL-i OCV's New engine mounts have been installed I changed the MAF sensor about 4 years ago albeit not OEM. After doing some research my main ideas now would be a New MAF this time OEM, TPS, IACV or Coil Packs (Changed plugs 50,000km ago) Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! :)
