Nothing wrong with that setup - a higher-mid range quad core CPU like yours is currently the best choice for most games at the moment and the GTX970 is just about perfect for 1080P gaming on most titles even brand new ones.

You should get plenty of use out it before you need to throw anything at it and even then the only thing you'd likely need is a bigger GPU in a year or two.

Nice!

I'm going to build a new PC probably midway through this year. Current motherboard is chucking the shits with USB3 (rejecting drivers and other shit) so no AC WiFi and other stuff. My last PC motherboard was ok, PC before that had clicking sound issues, then the sound card/chip died... Think I'll stop skimping on motherboards or getting older models.
Ideally want the PC for VR, got my eyes on the Vive Pro. But latest Intel chip forces win 10 booooo

So did a dummy/quote for new build...

Zotac GTX1080 mini 8gb DDR5
i5 8600 coffee lake (with noctua low profile fan)
MSI Z370M motherboard
Corsair 16gb (2x8) DDR4 3000MHz
ADATA 480gb M.2 SSD
EVGA 650W G+ PSU

Undecided on my case... going Micro ATX and I really love my current Fractal Design R2 micro but apparently this case is great: https://www.scorptec.com.au/product/55813

at the end of the day its to run the HTC Vive Pro with new 2.0 lighthouses and new controllers. Its expensive, but my first venture into VR and im pretty excited.

    • Because that’s not what any of them are building these heads or blocks for. It’s to hold over over 1000hp at the wheels without breaking and none of that stuff is required to make power 
    • Dort sounds above 3k rpm are dorty 🤣 I might krinkle black the alloy 🤔
    • It makes you wonder, all these people starting to make a billet replacement head, I wonder if any have thought about trying to adapt tech from newer engines into them. You're already at the full design stage to make a billet head... Why not really spice it up and had some more modern tech into the mix too...
    • Connect all the plumbing up properly. The actual worst part about having the turbo unable to actually build boost, is you can and likely would over soon the turbo if you drove the car (free rev while stationary isnt likely to manage it).   If you do have an air leak as Duncan suggested, you'll have a bad time as the AFM will be saying different to reality.   As you have had the engine out, I'd go over all electrical connections again. If you have a consult cable, plug it in, and see what the ECU thinks is going on. Did you touch the timing belt? If so, double check your timing on the gears is correct AND put a timing light on it while it's idling and see what ignition setting you have. Is the AFM you've installed the one that was in the car previously? You said you replaced seals, what seals exactly? What have you had apart?   From memory when I had my RB25DET with factory throttle, there was two plugs the TPS plug on the loom could go to. One would leave the car running like shit, the other made it work, I think one plug on the TPS area was for something else (an option). It's too many years since I saw that part of the loom to remember properly though.   Is the car idling smooth (as smooth as an RB can)? Does it smell fuelled up?   I have a feeling either timing in timing belt is off, or a sensor isn't right.
    • Theres still skid pan and motokhana days up in QLD at least that are $100 or less. The ones that are ran as "driver training" less so, they're expensive, but just normal skid pan days like SAU ran are still low cost. And thats one of the places I learned to be a lariken, purely by asking for passenger rides, and how people were doing crazy things. Reese gave me plenty of pointers back in the day for skid pan! And yes Duncan, I will never forget your pointers for track work. Especially after Neil got out saying "I am NEVER getting in the car with him again!" 😛
