As I just mentioned in the PC Thread, a casual position at my work will be coming available soon. The person will need to know computer software/hardware/trouble shooting/etc - modems/networks/monitors/Os's/etc, sales experience would be nice, but is not essential if your knowledge is good.

I didn't before, but I do now , I was only referring to the WD 3.5" External Hard Drives, Internals are great, especially the black labels, but my comments only come from Personal Experience of customers coming into/ringing the store looking for advice as to why the device they didn't buy from us is no longer working. I have found this a bit of the reverse at work, the WD externals have issues, where the Seagate's are fine, but the Seagate internals have maybe more issues then the WD internals. 2.5" Range of both are fine....but also be careful of some of the WD's - the type that use's 1 USB cable. Here is a little story; Customer came into the store with a WD 2.5" External they bought from DickSmith. They said it was making their system bluescreen etc, and took it back and had it swapped, but still the same issue. I plugged it into one of our store display pc's and sure enough it made the system crash, no idea why, my guess is too much current or something on the USB. Tried a brand new HP *Shudder* 2.5" External, still used 1 USB cable, and it worked fine on their system. They then took the WD back to DickSmith for a refund. Oh btw, if anyone is looking for a job let me know, as we have a position available soon, must know computer software/hardware/troubleshooting/etc...sales experience would be very nice. Edit: My guess is you read that on Wikipedia? If not, sorry. In theory yes it does, in practicality no, it doesn't. Mind you, the file name can be up to, i think off hand about 128 characters, but if you start having folder within folder with long file names, then you can forget it.

Yes and No, a USB Flash Drive uses Flash memory, so NAND Gates, or is a Solid State Media if you will, where as a Hard Drive has mechanical moving parts, hence why it requires more power. A Flash drive is more versatile then a Hard Drive as it has no moving parts, but has a limit number of Read and Write operations per sector of addressing, but this is in the hundreds of thousands. Yes, they can both use the same file systems, ie FAT32 and NTFS, Yes they both store information, and that is about where the similarities end.

Stay away from the WD 3.5" External Hard Drives, they keep failing, ie Power Supplies, the Case, or the Hard Drive itself, not a day goes by at work we have someone ring up or come in looking for a Power Supply for one. Also the PS3 can only read a FAT32 file system, and FAT32 only supports up to around a 30GB Partition, so you are going to have lots of partitions on a hard drive. Yes, there is software out there that does make larger then 30GB partitions for FAT32, but it will be really unstable, and FAT32 does not support long files names or files over 4gb in size. But if just storing general stuff and back up, leave it as NTFS, you wont have any issues there....unless your gonna use it on a Mac. As for transferring stuff between your PC and PS3, I would suggest streaming the audio/video over a network to the PS3 with either TVersity or PS3 Media Server.

Power-Steering Reservoir!? You may be able to remove it, but expect heavy steering.

Saw a Black Lamborghini with the plates TG1, out the front of work today.

Thank You to all the people that showed interest in this, but I have just been notified that they are going with Limos instead now.

Can't at the moment due to financial issues, will be heading back there again in a few weeks, getting more hours

Ok, Well depending which cams I drop in, I may not be able to use VCT anyway...if anyone knows someone who is selling a RB25DET Head, let me know, K Thanks....Now off to work.

I have one similar to this on my R33, but I think mine is a bit wider.

I think I have VCT as I am using a Haltech, but I would like a Stock Plenum as I don't want to change my FMIC. Krishy make me an offer on the Crapton's (piston's), etc

As am I, I am waiting for the answer to this ...Now you can wait till later tomorrow, as I am going to bed, damn work tomorrow , but money is money, and I need it. But I shall see what I can find.

...What if I can source a RB26 Head, and swap it for 1 of your RB25 Heads?...or how easy is it for a RB26 Head to go on a RB25 Block? EDIT: Thought I could source a RB26 head, but I can't unless I do a bit more searching, but how easy/hard is it to bolt a RB26 Head on?

Speaking of which, you posted on my FB that you have 3 RB25's...care to sell me a Head off one?

Thats the first time I have heard that one, when I was younger, this was the first one I heard and liked.

Sorry mate, can't really help you there, but any touchscreen device should have a alphanumeric keyboard, especially if it has a windows based OS, just depends how big you want the keyboard. I would suggest a carpc, like what I hope to eventually get set up when I stop spending my money on other things. EDIT: +1 for COOOOOOKIES!!!

Asus = Good, been in the industry for years, making all their own gear. Make motherboards, Video Cards, Monitors, etc. Acer = Crap, but my carpc is a Acer laptop, and seems to be fine, good for modding though. Have a look at this study, the full report is out somewhere, but can't be bothered finding it.

I would suggest the Asus K72JR then, around the $1400 mark, 2 yeat Global warranty, Intel i5, 4gb Ddr3, 2 x 500gb Hard Drives, 1gb Ati Radeon HD5470, 17" LED Screen, Webcam, 802.11B/G/N.

Asus, maybe the K72JR!? Really all depends on what you want to use it for, what performance, and price range.

When i had my turbo installed, the mechanic put the oil feed line to the back of the head/block somewhere. He had to move the gearbox back a bit, and then tilted the engine, not too sure how he did it, but that's what he told me.

You car going to be running on the frying oil from a fish and chip store?

AWESOME!!! I may have to go to Bali at sometime. Can anyone tell me what these green things are on the side of the block? My thoughts are something to do with the cooling system.

I found out what that grinding noise was, in my drivers side wheel arch. The retaining pin for the hand brake shoe had popped off, and got stuck in the drum, where it started to get ground down. Now to source a pin, and spring. EDIT: about $5 for a pin and spring from Grand Nissan, so I have ordered 4, may as well replace them all while I am at it, should be here tomorrow or the day after from Melbourne.

Ah, but it was good to see you pop out of nowhere

Spotted a Bayside Blue Stagea in Aldinga about 11'ish this morning, gave and received a wave, think it may have been "gsr600guy"
