  1. Have you tried turning the computer on and then restarting it as soon as Windows has loaded? What are the interfaces for the HDDs? How old is your motherboard and can it support all the hard drive space you have on there? Try removing the 320GB HDD and see if it works, if it does, you have too much cumulative space.
  2. Probably just a case of hit and miss, and also might depend on brands used.
  3. So who was there tonight apart from Aberax, Fliggy, Krishy, Ruby, Chad and James34?
  4. Hmm, I never see prostitutes on Hanson Road, maybe they're running away from me... Anyway, I think I saw James34 on Main North Road, Enfield at around midnight tonight, heading to town.
  5. How long do you guys usually stay there? I can make it at 7.30 at the earliest.
  6. They do indeed. Encoding a 720p HD video on Nero used to take about an hour for a 10 minute video on my old single core, now it takes about 12-15 minutes on the quad for a 1080p. Wouldn't mind trying some games that make use of 2 or more cores.
  7. Have we organised a "meet spot" yet as suggested by the letter?
  8. R35 on Greenhill Road at around 4:45pm today heading East.
  9. White 33, parked at Law and Commerce at Flinders Uni at around 10am. White 34 at Flinders Uni following me on Ring Road, no wing, about 10.30am today, CC plates. Midnight purple 33 S1 on Marion Road/Daws Road intersection, about 10.45am, female driver, heading south.
  10. My boot "spring" needs some adjustment as it's not popping up enough when I release it. Can anyone tell me how to do that or help me do it? Thanks.
  11. Spotted Abe's secondary vehicle in front of my house before.
  12. Weekends is cruise time for me as well
  13. I was very impressed with your car Andrew, and apparently so was my mum. Time for a V35 for the parents maybe?
  14. I wanted the Antech 300 case, but all the MSYs were sold out of them. Hopefully this one'll last a while. How long have you had yours?
  15. Yeah the SATA cables were a major pain, but still better than the mess I had in the previous case.
  16. It was inevitable, after 3 1/2 years of having pretty much the same computer, I decided that this weekend was going to be the time to finally upgrade my computer. Previous specs were: -AMD Athlon64 3500+ -Gigabyte K8 Triton Motherboard -4x512MB DDR2(?) RAM -Gigabyte Nvidea 9800GT -2x160GB, 1x320GB & 1x640GB HDDs -DVD Burner -Netgear Wireless Network Card -Fusion HDTV Pro Card -Themaltake Soprano Case -Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate (RC) Now as it stands, its: -AMD AM3 Phenom II x4 965 3.4Ghz -Gigabyte GA-MA785GT -2x2GB DDR3 RAM -Gigabyte Nvidea 9800GT -1x160GB, 1x320GB & 1x640GB 1x1.5TB HDDs -DVD Burner -Netgear Wireless Network Card -Fusion HDTV Pro Card -Thermaltake V9 Case -Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate (RC) (Still to reformat and go to Win7 64-bit Home Premium) Here's how the upgrade went... Went to MSY in Plympton and bought all the gear necessary... cost me about $800. New case sitting ready to go New motherboard ready to go in After having some issues removing the standard plug stencil panel, finally got the motherboard in CPU and heatsink ready to go in CPU set into the socket After stuffing around with the heatsink, finally got it on properly Memory ready to go in, haven't had one with a heatsink before And sitting nicely on the board This is where I finshed off on Saturday night, all the connectors attached Sunday arvo I disconnected my current case and was ready to raid the remaining parts from it Then put all the hard drives into their respective bays Video card was a bit dusty, so a bit of cleaning got rid of most of the dust Had to get rid of one of the HDDs as the motherboard only has room for one IDE drive Then transferred over the graphics card, TV card and wireless network card Next was transferring the PSU, but the secondary cable (no idea what it's called) wasn't long enough, so I got my brother's old PSU and put that in instead. Then proceeded to installing the DVD drive Still have somewhat of a mess in regards to HDD cables, but it's a lot better than it was before Then closed up the case and it's ready to go! Funnily enough, Windows proceeded to boot up with my old Win7 RC install, and after some driver installation and a restart, it was all working fine I would have thought a complete reformat would have been necessary, but no, Windows 7 seems to really be that good! CPU is running at a constant 38-40C, which I believe is a good temperature to sit at. Now all I got left is to set up my old case for the parents, which only requires the removed hard drive, a new video card and some basic claening, as well as installing my old copy of Vista. Below are the WEI scores: Previous specs: Internim specs: So far the system's been very fast with all the Windows 7 functions, but a complete reformat on a SATA drive will really show off the system's shine.
  17. White R35 on South Road, Hindmarsh this morning.
  18. Bayside blue 34 GTR on Marion Road at around 9:35 this morning heading south, then back north again a few minutes later.
  19. Spotted a 34 near Mt. Lofty at around 1am last night. Also today spotted Heslo's car and Amaaru at AM Performance at around 2.30pm.
  20. There's also AJD on the 28th Feb
  21. Hmm will try that Manual
  22. Bit hard to explain. It doesn't really change in revs, it just seems to "shake" a bit more at times when it's idling in neutral. No difference id the engine's hot or cold. I'm going to have it checked out sometime, but I was hoping to get some sort of a diagnosis beforehand. Then again I've been told that 34s tend to sometimes idle a bit rough by default. Probably also a case of an aging car.
  23. My engine idles a bit at times, this means I need new coilpacks, right?
  24. -Silver S2 33 with black bonnet at the Alma tonight -Black 32 on Grand Junction Road near the Port just after midnight -Silver 34 near Payneham turning onto Payneham Road at around 11:45pm.
  25. Nah mate, I was more in the western and CBD areas last night.
