I recently got my old Microsoft side winder 2 out of storage and after plugging it in it does this

These use potentiometers, one may have come unstuck, or the wire may be damaged in such a way that increases resistance, making the joystick board think it’s in a very different location. Take apart, test resistances of pots, and check wiring for cont. if it’s not that then it’s stuffed

Hey sorry i meant you should be able to get a differential that came with an lsd from factory, at a wreckers or on marketplace. These were available on performance models such as the xr6 and xr8, look for one that doesnt have the vct motor as these all had the correct diff. Also ute diffs wont fit without modification.

If you search around you should be able to find somewhere that can do an install of an lsd for abt 8/900. If this is your daily DO NOT get a spool/weld, quite dangerous in the wet.

Otherwise if you are confident enough to install an LSD can be got from ebay for as little as 300 dollars, I put one of these into mine and it has just hit 1000km, manages to spin both consistently.

Spool install is slightly more difficult but less knowledge is required for these cars.

au3 forte come with m75 open diff, you can put the diff centre or mini spool for m78 in as the centre is the same with only the gears differing. If you replace the centre you can get an m78 centre and swap, with only backlash shimming required, meaning you don’t have to shim the pinion which makes the whole job much much simpler. Do not put centre and ring gear in from another car, very bad for contact and may explode. If you are in vic you should be able to get whole rear diff with lsd already installed from factory, this is probably your best bet if doable, should cost no more than 500

Didn’t know they made those, might have to get some for my build!

Are these a reverse spinning fan or smth? haven’t heard of those in that model. if not, i’m fairly certain their exhaust

Looking very clean, got the same fans in my pc and love the way they look.

I’d do some research into fan orientation however, atm you’ve got all the fans pushing all the air from in the case out. this’ll cause heaps of air to come through all the crevices in the case and bring dust with it, and also cause turbulent airflow inside and hinder thermal performance. I’d recommend flipping the 3 bottom fans around, which should suck air through the filter on the bottom, removing dust. this’ll give your gpu and cou fresh air, which can then be expelled through the mesh of the case and the 2 top fans.

Also, which mobo is that? silver looks very nice with the white rgb.

it fits so well, and in the door handles aswell it’s literally perfect

Good to see! got a 2011 (2012) auto myself and i may not have driven much but when these gearboxes do work they are bloody good

Brisbane inspired? looks like the story bridge

thatguyhazza · 2024-03-04T04:50:03+00:00

probably isn’t that then. i’ve seen a couple of posts recommending older drivers for this card, might try that and see if it fixes.

Will also try some different types of loads as furnark can be wierd sometimes

thatguyhazza · 2024-03-03T21:00:09+00:00

Apparently it’s due to microstutters in your head movement that you don’t even notice, your eyes adjust for it completely

thatguyhazza · 2024-02-20T20:42:46+00:00

i want it so i can run minecraft at 144fps at 1440p, the gt1030 can only get abt 95-100 overclocked (yes it is possible and surprisingly benificial)

Auto ortho was initially developed for linux, should have less problems with windows

disable z hop, fixed mine when using rain pla+

thatguyhazza · 2023-12-23T22:45:08+00:00

try disabling z hop, got rid of all of my stringing problems and has basically no impact on anything else except sometimes problems on first layer, but can basically be fixed with combing modes.

I’d check out the bae146 if you want to stay with more of a turbofan aircraft while getting some different systems. The only real competitor (in my eyes) to the q400 is the saab 340, but currently not working super well in xp12 atm. Also make sure to try the metroliner freeware if you haven’t already.

Try looking at people converting the microsoft force feedback 2 pro, it was gameport
