I used linix for ages, though Debian (apt is the greatest loonix tool ever)...

Might install it on my old box as a "**** around" server, but I'd never go back to using it as a desktop.. Way too involved and time consuming trying to get everything windows-based to work :cheers:

Yeah, well I was sick of windows crashing all the time and the 400 spyware/adware a month.

I don't think I can get spyware/adware anymore so that problem is solved. I still have a dual boot with XP running.

BTW, I still have a running copy of DOS 6.22, ALL Windows Versions, Redhat 7 and 9 and Fedora Core3.

you say....what the hell do you know about OS's

I'm the f$%ken OS MASTER.

Linux aint that bad. Especially this Fedora. It way outpowers windows in all ways and has less vulnerabilities. Plus I was being attacked by members of Andre NET every day. I had to run 4 firewalls just to stay alive. Now...no probs and I have a massive artilary at my disposal....so now I go to war.

Are you new to computers?

1 x hardwire firewall/router

1 x XP install with personal firewall running and all non-essential services blocked (remember, DENY all and allow each port individually!)

1 x MS Anti Spyware

No problems.

Just use common sense. "Britneynaked.jpg..................pif" is still a pif. "Click here for free porn" is never free porn. Accepting files from people you dont know is stupid. Running an FTP/HTTP on common ports is asking to be pwned. Using MSN is asking to be pwned. Using IE in anything other than "Restriced Zones" is asking to be pwned. Etc.

For the casual hax0r, a loonix box with a default install is easier to hop into than a windows box :rofl: Hello plenty of installed services that are all open and left with default settings!

I'm interested to know how linux "outpowers" windows too, is this a tractor pulling contest? X Windows is slow and clunky and needs a 3Ghz machine to run anything more hardcore than KDE.

    • Only reason to keep a MAF on your RB25 is to be able to easily calculate true VE if you know what the factory voltage curve represents in grams per second of flow. Also allows you to do things like pull the original OEM ignition + AFR target tables and use those as a starting point for your base map. Once you're well and truly done tuning though there's no need to retain the MAF.
    • Do you think they'll merge there performance divisions and we'll end up HoMo?
    • Very true, if buying new, I would not get an PP either. Minimum is an Elite 2500, which is also considered outdated. Get something that supports DBW, delete that cable throttle. Best thing I've ever done to the Skyline, next best is refreshing the A/C with a new condenser. It's cold, but not as cold as modern car, but colder than most 90s JDM shit boxes imported into Australia.
    • Haltech have a nice comparison table between the Elite and Nexus models -  https://www.haltech.com/ecu-buyers-guide/ In general, the Nexus is better. Haltech have some nice product videos on their YouTube page, I'd have a look at those and if you're still not confident what way to go, I'd give them a call. They have the best customer support of any company I've dealt with, I'm sure they'll be able to help you out. 
    • Not to mention, that the correct diagnostic approach to "electrical thing does not work" is to start with what I outlined above. You only do swaptronics for things that can't be tested really easily, like ignition coils, AFMs, etc etc. And even then you hold your breath in case the fault that possibly killed the original unit kills the swapped in unit too.
