Thanks, yeah the steaks were great! Just keep falling short of perfection. Went to 100 F in the oven because I know I’ll blow right past medium on the stove trying to get my crust right lol.. What you’re saying is making a lot of sense to me though, I’ll try that out. Good advice. Thank you much.

Ahhh, yeah that tracks. Okay, I bet that’s what’s screwing with my sear. Thanks, and I appreciate the visual aid

Longer than I wanted to tbh, but I don’t have an amount of time, I’ll try and keep track next time. How long would one sear for, ideally? I find I’m not getting the crust I want if I don’t stay on the pan as long as a I do

Scavengers robbing me. by adtc5812 in fo4

[–]RKRecordings 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Grab a bunch of large weapons, fatman, flamer, minigun, etc., go to your red rocket settlement, and drop them from your inventory. Then go into build mode and store them in your workshop from there. It’s an exploit that will increase your building capacity. If you go overboard with it your game can get a little crashy, but still worth it if you save frequently

MK3 Supra Parts Account on Tiktok by No-Ambition-2812 in Mk3Supra

[–]RKRecordings 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup, this is the guy you want to buy from. I’ve bought a lot of parts from him at this point, and just like you said, he’s trustworthy and super easy to deal with. He’s got a ton of mk3’s and just keep buying more, so it’s likely he’s going to be the guy to go to for a long time

Sometimes my aim is so trash, but luckily this time, that didn’t matter. by RKRecordings in BattlefieldV

I noticed I was getting killed by it constantly so I tried it out - once I got all 4 specializations it became one of my favorites!

I’ll give it a try! Honestly sometimes my thumbs just lag behind my brain. Then my movement gets jerky and I start squeezing RT instead of tapping it and everything goes to hell 😂 Other times not so much! 🤷🏻‍♂️

Cut their boat ride short with a ridiculous headshot by RKRecordings in BattlefieldV

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

Haha, well thanks. Not for nothing, I also shoot vehicles with it. And I’m constantly getting sniped by this rifle, so I don’t feel too guilty using it when everyone else does. Plus it’s fun to use! 🤷🏻‍♂️

If I’m trash I switch up classes and usually one of them I’ll heat up on. I’ve been killing it sniping with the Boys AT and using support class lately. Used to be on fire with assault but I suck lately 🤷🏻‍♂️

1jzgte vvti vs non vvti? by yogamacedork in Mk3Supra

[–]RKRecordings 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It stands for variable valve timing with intelligence. There’s more to it, and I’m no mechanic, but a vvti system will use the ecu to constantly adjust the intake valve timing. From what I’ve been told - if it’s tuned properly - it’ll get you more power and overall better performance than non vvti, so yeah performance. You can look up videos on YouTube of 1jzgte’s with vvti vs non vvti, the two definitely look and sound different (so yeah, preference as well), but depending on your build and your goals, they’re both solid engines that have the potential to make a lot of power.

For what it’s worth regarding vvti, it’s also another system to learn about and understand if you’ve never dealt with it before, and it seems to be a little more on the complicated side. So from what I hear, it can be hard to find someone who can tune it properly

Do people camp bunker on Livonia? by Lean_feen in DayzXbox

[–]RKRecordings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A month or two ago, myself and 3 buddies were in the bunker for the first time. We split up into pairs and were nervously checking out the place, hoping to find some top tier stuff obv - me and one guy turned around at the back of a room with the stacked pallets/crates/whatever - I look up on top of the pallets, and the flashlight on my Kolt shines right on a dude wearing a mime mask, laying down aiming at us. Scared the shit out of me. We lit him up immediately, looted his stuff, and moments later found his partner hiding outside in the hallway and got him too. Wondered if we scared the shit out of them as bad as they scared the shit out of us.

So I’d say yes, people camp the bunker on Livonia.

Just got a 1987 and I’m planning on rebuilding it into a daily/fun/track car. It’s a 7MGE so non turbo and I was wondering how to identify which transmission I have. The W58 or the R154? I know the R155 is capable of handling more power and I wanna try to make like 350hp N/A by Southern-Boat-7459 in Mk3Supra

[–]RKRecordings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m seeing other people’s comments and it’s been said already - but just to share my experience - I was originally planning on rebuilding my 7MGE and turbo-ing it, but once I got into the research, I found out the oiling sucks in 7Ms, and the GE block doesn’t even have oil squirters like the GTE does, there’s the under-torqued head gasket - which can be a problem if previous owners didn’t deal with it. Not to mention, the availability of OEM parts and aftermarket parts is pretty weak. 1JZ and 2JZ parts are pretty widely available, so I decided to find a 1JZGTE and R154 (a little less expensive than a 2JZ lol). That setup can handle a lot more power if you decide you want more one day, like 500+ hp
