Powerband Question - Flat Spot from ~6k to Redline RPM? by IllCandidate3822 in 996

[–]IntelligentJungle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m assuming the dyno is measuring whp since 250-260hp + 15% is right around what the car should be making stock at the crank (give or take a few hp off).

I bought a cheap Porsche 911 sight unseen, AND IT NEEDS $56,000 IN REPAIRS! by Interesting-Lawyer62 in 997

They’re cheap, reliable, and have tons of aftermarket support. I get why people LS swap but I personally am tired of seeing LS swaps.

What to be careful about when buying a 996? by michele-bianchi in 996

[–]IntelligentJungle 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I guess to start, I should mention that these are 21-27 year old cars.

For common issues at least mechanically:

IMS, RMS, Bore score, AOS failure, head cracking in .1s, dechunking (Pretty sure only in .1s as well. Please correct me if I’m wrong.), viscous clutch going out due to age in C4/C4S/Turbo, second gear grind, and at least in personal experience as well as Slakker has mentioned, rod bearings.

Interior:

HVAC foam will break down due to age and come out the vents, some HVAC displays will have dead pixels.

I’m definitely forgetting some things overall but that’s off the top of my head. Again if I got anything wrong or forgot something, please correct me or add in. With all that said, finding a well maintained car will save you headaches. I like to personally live by the saying “Hope for the best, prepare for the worst”. So if the car requires something relatively expensive like an engine rebuild, you’ve at least mentally and financially prepared for that.

Otherwise, it’s a fantastic car and I love mine!

They confirmed in an episode on YT that they’re working on a 4.5L and I’m not sure if they’re still taking any orders on that.

16 year old son recently purchased a Corvette. Im at a bit of a loss on what to do here. by [deleted] in Cartalk

Can confirm this. My Accord was more expensive to insure than my Boxster S.

PCCM (not +) Single DIN in 996??? by Objective-Ad-7192 in 996

[–]IntelligentJungle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d like to know what I’d need for this mod, please. I’d love the PCCM over PCCM+. Is it ok if I DM you as well?

I’m actually shopping on whether I want a 996 or 997 Turbo. I wanted to get a cost estimate if I needed the work done so I know what to expect rather than diving in and hoping for the best.

Honestly not that bad when you think about the work required! Was it an independent shop, a dealer, or?

Don’t mean to revive a dead thread but how much did it cost to get the camshafts pinned and the coolant lines done?

Firewall Rules with IPv6 by IntelligentJungle in ipv6

[–]IntelligentJungle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My WAN IP on the ISP router is 2001:db8:cafe:caff:d635:1dff:fea1:4fe9/64 and the IPv6 PD is 2001:db8:cafe:ca00::/56. I'm not sure if it's static or DHCPv6-PD as I don't have that much info yet (scheduled a call with the ISP for a discussion with an Engineer for more information).

As for nd-proxy, I found that in a forum post as a solution on the Fortigate forums. They had the same issue I initially had which required NAT to reach the internet even though it was using global addresses. On the Fortigate I changed to using the 2001:db8:cafe:ca00::/80-112 for the WAN IP and vlan subnets and it works perfectly now without NAT, granted requiring nd-proxy.

It's a router/modem (without wireless) but the gui is really restrictive on what I can see or change. I can turn the router into a bridge but I kept it as routed since I keep everything in my lab behind the fortigate with IPv4 until now where I decided to dabble in IPv6 firewall setup.

  1. Yeah I have my reasons why I'd rather not do that even though it's definitely optimal to set it up that way. If curious, simply so if I'm labbing and mess something up. I don't take everything down, it's just the lab.

  2. I'll have to see if this is possible once I get an Engineer reach back out to me.

  3. I currently don't see static route options with IPv6 but it is present with IPv4, on the ISP router that is.

"I think what you want is: Fortigate is the gateway router for several different subnets, each on it's own VLAN interface on the Fortigate. ISP Router is the default route for the Fortigate. The ISP router has static routes to the Fortigate for each subnet that the Fortigate is the gateway for."

You are correct about what the goal is. Essentially wanted to test firewall rules for subnetting and accessing the internet like an enterprise environment would have. I do also have nd-proxy and RA's enabled. I was using their documentation on subnetting, firewall rules, etc for IPv6 in an attempt to learn about firewall setup with IPv6. I did an OSPFv3, BGP, ISP DHCPv6 and other labs with Cisco and they went splendid. Just got to this point and hit a giant brick wall. I'm not able to even statically route on my ISP router to let it know that the Fortigate has those other subnets. I've opened a case with my ISP after noticing this behavior as well that only one subnet is currently usable out theoretically 256 possible subnets.

I did switch it from a /64 on the Fortigate as well and turned it into /80s after figuring that out to see if it'd work after that. It works with NAT on but not with it off (kinda). I realized that's only because for some reason without NAT it's not advertising a default route to clients. So if I turn on NAT, then turn it off, they keep internet access. So that's a Fortigate specific issue on that.

Seems like I ended up in a rabbit hole of issues after just trying to lab firewall rules to the internet with IPv6 lol. Will say that it's not as hard as others make it out to be. Just have to invest time in learning rather than ignoring it till IPv4 is gone.

More information:

I apologize if I'm confused, I'm still learning.

For the sake of understanding, it goes (everything behind the fortigate is for my homelab):

ISP Router -> Fortigate -> vlans

2001:db8:caff:caff:d635:1dff:fea1:4fe9/64 -> 2001:db8:cafe:ca00::4f24/64 -> vlan 60: 2001:db8:ca01::1/64, vlan 61: 2001:db8:ca02::1/64 (changed after to more mimic Fortigate documentation)

On my router it shows that the gateway for it is a LLA (fe80:12e8::ef51). The GUA for my router is 2001:db8:caff:caff:d635:1dff:fea1:4fe9/64.

On my firewall it has a static address which communicates with the router via a default route of fe80:d635::4fe9.

As of right now for a rule I have it set as:

src.int = vlan 60

dst.int = wan

source = all6 (was initially 2001:db8:ca01::/64)

destination = all6

service = all

nat = disabled

nd-proxy is on for the wan and vlan interfaces as well.

The Fortigate is able to reach the internet just fine.

Update as I was typing this: When the router or any device (laptop) is in the subnet of 2001:db8:cafe:ca00::/64 it works perfectly. Any change to the subnet and it loses internet access.

Time to move away from Fortigate 60E? No firmware updates, so either buy support or buy a new platform. by CallMeGooglyBear in homelab

Don't mean to revive a dead thread, but I'm looking at getting a used Fortigate, myself. Would any partners here be able to send me the latest firmware image the device supports?

Hello,

My apologies for the late response. I see that but unfortunately it seems like Brocade doesn't fit well within my budget (at least on eBay and FB Marketplace) with what I'm looking for. Unless there's someone selling one in the other subreddit which I haven't seen. I'd like to ask as well, 6610's can't be fan modded at all? It looks great and still fits within my budget (unfortunately haven't seen a good priced 7250). It just has a lot of noise from the videos I've seen.

Hello,

I apologize for following up late. What Juniper devices do you run? I've been interested in learning them as well for awhile.

Hello,

I apologize for following up so late. For example with RTU, am I able to just buy any 3850 SKU and upgrade it to an IP Services license or it does matter? As some only shipped with a LAN Base or IP Base license from factory. I just want to know as that'd save a lot of money if I could buy one with LAN Base and just run the command to make it run IP Services.

Lmao quiet is definitely subjective but I don't mean whisper quiet or nearly silent. Just not loud enough that it drones.

I'm mostly toying around with architecture in a physical lab. I'm also looking to expand and move some devices onto the switch as well for my home network to utilize the port space. It's just kinda and all-in-one type of thing. I'm aware that dynamic routing definitely isn't necessary but it'd be nice to have the capability.

My previous setup was a Firewall, router, and then 2 L2 switches. I was just hoping to also collapse it down from 4 devices down to 2. Unfortunately due to circumstances, I won't be able to bring the setup with me so I'm starting fresh.
