hey guys, i was talking to a mate in the business and he told me he had a fair few external hard drives that he can get in.

he said he'd cut a deal for my mates (sau members) if we can get numbers up on orders as he has to do them on a bulk buy kind of thing through his supplier.

the hard drives are Seagate and Western Digital.

pricing is as follows (for SATA):

80g - $120

160g - $140

250g - $150

320g - $160

400g - $200

500g - $240

750g - $360

these are a good price compared to most out there which use inferior hard drives rated at lower RPMs.

firewire is $30 ontop of these prices as he hasn't worked out a proper deal through his supplier for anything cheaper.

postage is an extra $12. pickup in Sydney is available.

Group buy guidelines:

Payment will be in full prior to order being placed with the supplier.

Group buy will go ahead when I have 15 people on the list.

I will then ask for all monies to be paid.

Group buy will close when all payments are into my account.

ill update the list as i go.

1. phillb - 320g PAID

2. SAM916 - 320g x2 PAID

3. Sl!m - 400g PAID

4. SoFly - 250g N/A

Hey Joe,

Put me down for a 320g - $160 with USB please :) In the black case.

I hope this fills up quick as I am running low on space... and I'd be most likely to pick it up if in Sydney.

Cheers

Phill

pick-up is not a problem mate. you're on the list.

personally id buy seagate... but these days it doesnt matter.. lol they are basically all the same... btw im a computer tech lol... i have 4 or 5 western digitals, 2 seagates and 1 samsung.. lol they all work fine.

just wondering, do these things need an external power source?

also what's the retail on these?

they come with an external power source.

Ill take a 400 gig.. but I can only get the money after the 15th

ill keep that in mind, ive put you on the list anyway.

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
