The screen is great. There are third party driver boards to use them as external displays.

Do HDDs make up that much of the gaming market segment?

My favorite from Apple is "the new iPad" that they used to refer to the 3rd gen iPad.

I hate that iPad, it’s still on my shelf.

2Gbps?! I was testing out tmobile 5G service with their router and it’s only ~330Mbps down ~180Mbps up…

Can it really be that much faster?

Just pour coolant in via the oil cap. It'll be fine. /s

Did a BAR swap of a k20a2 into a EG civic. It’s such a fun car to drive, street or track.

> other owners say it runs fine without coolant, oil, etc

Um, no. Go ahead dump your oil and coolant, go drive your car, and report back how "fine" it did.

(No, please don't actually do this. Although here's a guy who did, for the clicks. The Honda did impressively well, but it wasn't "fine". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyejT4VPzlE)

Coolant sure, my RSX has a radiator leak for the past 2 years.

Oil not so much.

I'm disappointed you went with FI, the L28 is wonderful, if I was you I'd be tempted to swap the EFI for carbs, I expect the carbs for the L's 24 and 26 would suit?

Any word on how much the Nismo head will be, the OS Giken one is absolutely eye-watering.

roflchoppa · 17 days ago
The estimation for the Nismo head is ~$25k for just the head, not sure if that price included the valve train as well... Derrick's head is ballpark the same cost.

There is one more company in japan JMC,that is making heads as well, they have a recast of the N42 heads w/ better machining. https://party-k.co.jp/used/index-3536.html

I have a 260z with round-top SUs from my 240z with L26, its not bad, it's a single click to get that engine running, even after sitting for a long time.

On the carb setup, I find the fuel smell to be a bit overwhelming, to the point where I don't want to drive the car as much because the passengers reek of fuel when they get out. I cant even run a shitty CAT on the exhaust because it would get destroyed by the carb. This is probably also due to leaks in the body gaskets...

I think it's really just the turbo that I want, I cant get smoked by these civics :(

I’ve been restoring a 240z in my garage, it’s on a rotisserie…

Got a l28 turbo waiting to be refreshed as well.

I should stop working on this refactor and go work on it.

Nismo is coming out with a new DOHC head for the car... https://japanesenostalgiccar.com/nismo-dohc-nissan-datsun-l-...

There was also this gent who made his own DOHC off of a Honda head.

Usually the glass companies force you to pay it. For “safety”. It’s just a “you have a nice car so we’re gonna charge you more” fee.

I’ll probably be doing my own windshield on my Tesla to avoid this. Safelight has decent prices but whacks you with a huge fee for pressing “calibrate” in the service menu, which is user accessible.

roflchoppa · 18 days ago
Hold up you can calibrate it yourself? I was under the impression you need additional hardware jigs to align cameras to fixed points, similar to a steering alignment.
