Guys, hopefully someone can help me out.

2 days after buying a new PC and given my handme down to the GF, what happens but the MB blows a cap. I can't afford another new computer so I'm hoping someone else has and old MB that can help me out.

The MB needs to have AGP and be able to run an Intel Prescott 2.8E. It's about 4-5 years old.

If you want to dump a whole PC on me and let me figure what/if it works I'm open to that. No CRT monitor needed thanks.

Thanks in anticipation.

I hate motherboards. Mine went nuclear and I'm still waiting for a replacement.

I do have an older mobo here in a case and it's AGP but I can't remember the specs on it. Will have a look after work.

That would be great. I centainly don't want to pay $50 for another older motherboard that may die soonish and all for a computer not worth $100.

I have an old board that should be suitable, its about 3 years old, its been collecting dust but should be fine once gone over with an air duster.

It has AGP and fits a Prescott.

Hi NissanFan,

I received your board unfortunatly it is a Socket 775 board and does not fit my Prescott which is a Sockett 478

Still I'll try and pass it on to someone that needs it. PM me your bank account details and I'll forward you the postage.

Anyone else with a spare MB with a Sockett 478?

My bad, I thought all Prescott were 775, don't worry about postage man.

      Potential MAP Reference Point

      Isn't there a fitting on the back of the balance tube? That's what the OEM boost gauge uses.

      Potential MAP Reference Point

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Getting a decent signal from all 6 throats is a challenge. I don't know for sure, but I suspect that the stock balance tube is not ideal for it. I have done it on an ALFA 4 cylinder (about 35 years ago, so don't ask for too many details). We drilled 4x holes in the manifold runners, put in some fittings and ran hoses to a decent sized (I think it was about 20mm diameter) pipe that ran the length of the inlet manifold. So, it was quite a decent volume. There is a "tuning" balance to be found between the volume of the common plenum on such a thing and the diameter of the pipes running from it to the runners. You need the volume to be large enough to damp out the sharp spikes in pressure signal you get as each runner gets sucked on by its cylinder, but not so large that it becomes too slow to respond to actual changes in MAP. And you need the hoses to be small enough to transmit the signal quickly, but not so small that they delay the signal. You might have to have more than one go at it, if there isn't any actual success based wisdom to be had here. Hopefully there is. Anyway, I would not do it on only a couple of cylinders. I would also not care about "permanently modifying a part". Just bloody drill holes and make stuff better. There is nothing sacred about any GTR unless it is a genuine museum piece that you shouldn't be modifying at all anyway.

      R34 GTT front hood lip

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      The strange thing is this is a URAS front bumper (or clone of it). The bumper actually does not sit flush with the GTT hood - You need the addon to make the hood 'long' enough to reach the bumper. I have no idea why they didn't incorporate this piece into the bumper itself.. instead of sticking it to the hood instead.

      R34 GTT front hood lip

      Another thought on this OLD topic: When you paint your bonnet lip, leave a small unpainted back lip/line along the back of the lip, where it rests on the bumper. That way, the line in the back is much more prominent than the gaps in the front/under the lip - and it breaks the hood-to-bumper connection at the "correct" place, when comparing to a GTR. I'm gonna do this with mine this week, so stay tuned for pics!
