Has anyone successfully installed Nissan's FAST parts database to a laptop so it doesn't need any CD's? I want it on my laptop showing just Skyline models, ideally, and don't want to have to use a CD in the drive bay. Thanks.

i do. i never had the cd's to start with (downloaded it). i just loaded the setup file, followed what i had to do there and then just had to copy some file into the windows folder and it was all done.

Yes - i have it with no CDs. I installed it years ago and IIRC there was a file with some instructions included. I'll have a look tonight. I think it was about 4 gig all up, so I assume that means its everything.

From memory you copy all the files from the cd to a directory on your hard drive. Then you open the FAST setup program NFSET.exe and click the CDROM Setup tab. In there you can point Drive 1, 2 etc to the directory on your hard drive where you copied the files.

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      I don't like the sound of that. No. I mean I actually don't like the way that they sound!

      I'm rating the Michelin Pilot Sport 5's I currently have on my NC, they are great for throwing the thing around on the street, and handle great in the wet, the price is also reasonable  They are not as good as something like a RS4 in the dry, but, as it is a street car, the 5's are alot better for inclement and cold weather  I've found RE003's to be 5hit....

      Just as long as it's not those putridly disappointing RE003s.

      I had this same experience going from a set of no name tyres that were on a set of good wheels (Enkei RPFs) to some Potenza RE-11s (this was a few years ago). The wet grip in particular was so much higher that it was almost scary considering how dangerous the old tyres were in comparison. The expense of the tyres also made me want them to last longer so drove accordingly. Wife happy. So now she only 'lets' me buy some flavour of Brigestones...

      This. All of this. I am turning >$300 into small particles inside 20k km, because I like to be able to roll around any 90° street corner at the speed limit. Would my car be more fun with cheaper tyres? Possibly. When I swapped out the bald AD09s for new ones, the change in the car was massive. The obvious one was being able to put the power down instead of lighting up into silly wheelspin. But the corollary of that was that the lateral traction went from being fun to fast. It was more fun when it was loose. But the corollary to the corollary is that if I need to dodge a child in the road or emergency brake to avoid the arsehat who has just tipped a GWM on its side in front of me, then I've got a much better chance of that manoeuvre coming off without unintended "fun" meaning that I hit something else, or the original target.
