damn.. cant find a blutooth adaptop anywhere for obd1

would this work to relay the signals to the android app?

OBD connector to usb - usb to usb adapter - then your usb data cable to phone

or something like this: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/High-Quality-micro-USB-USB-Female-Cable-USB-OTG-N900-/190507971718?pt=AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item2c5b28f486

not sure you can but why do you want to? you can get it to delete the email but not mark as read

personally myself i use windows live mail for hotmail and sort emails by conversation to all duplicate subject email get put into a bank then i can select the last email from that conversation and visit thread the right click and select all press delete and then its all good

Haven't justified buying a SSD yet given the amount I don't use the computer.

So I picked up a $100 Seagate Momentus XT 500gb. Damn its made an impressive difference to how windows boots, shuts down and generally runs. Noticeably smoother.

Recommended for those who'd rather sink $$ in to something else than a computer but want a smoother running less crunching/clunky computer. :) All though an extra $100 will grab an SSD these days. :P

Yeah I am going to pick up a couple of Momentus soon too .... I currently have 2 x 64Gb SSDs as my Windows and Program files drives (non-RAIDed), and whilst the speed is great, every time I need to load a file off one of my storage drives the pause is unbearable. It is not a huge pause, but with a hybrid drive I would buy 2 and mirror raid them - that way I could fit my Win7 install, program files and current Torrent data on the 'one' drive, which I think would be significantly faster than my setup is now.

Have you done any read/write tests Joel?

I'm not sure benchmarks are going to show how these drives perform. They only have 4G SSD which the drive stores regularly accessed data. From what I have read all writes go to the mechanical side. So things like random reads etc may not be that great unless they are run several times over. I'll see if I can find the article where I read this.

EDIT: here it is

^^ yeah i half did that upgrade i have a Gigabyte GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3 $139 and a i7 2600k $330 and 8gb of gskill sniper ram 1333 $69

it is a lot more faster to boot into windows now and i only have blue and green WD drives both 7200rpm

i will look into SSD one day just not really sure what route i should take

    • How did you go with your problem? End up fixing it. Have a y34 aswell vq30det
    • But if I smoke test 5th cylinder it’s all ok, no leaks  when I try with 2nd it’s leaking exhaust and intake, it doesn’t come from oil dip stick.    so maybe when car was running poorly, rich or sth. Spark plugs were black and covered in charcoal or sth lookalike. could potential contamination make valves not seal properly? is there also a possibility that rb’s don’t have equal performing cooling passages  meaning back of the engine will be hotter than front. Can this cause improper wear if engine was running under load for short time? Or carbon build up could just burnt from 4-6 and is still on 1-3?   I out of my head like really. Timing is as manual crank-exhaust 47, exhaust-intake 38 at this point I thinking about give it a try and make another 500-1000km and check if anything change, if not I will most likely disassemble engine head /or whole engine and send it back to rebuild. It’s killing me     
    • Thanks Duncan, I don't have a GTR these days mate. Gone soft..
    • Yeah. air pressure leakdown test is where I would be headed next here, using one's ears to determine whether it's the valves or bores/rings leaking...
    • More likely you didn't bed the rings in correctly and have glazed the bores. Running with misfires on a fresh build is somewhat of a no-no. Surely no-one "smoke tests" the combustion chamber? That's what a leakdown test is for. Smoke testing is, um, a bit of a wank at best, and only really useful for external pipework.
