    Buying Advice - LCD TV

    in Off Topic Discussion

    Posted

    Ok, I'm not buying a Samsung. I'm sure they are great but my brand snobbery will not allow it. :lol:

     

    I'm after a 37" LCD Sony like this one, this one seem the most expensive of the sony 37" TV's:

    I'll be upgrading my sky to HD and will be getting a blue ray player too. What spec do I need the TV to be to ensure optimum picture quality?

     

    Whats the 24p playback?

     

    Is there anything in the pipeline worth waiting for technology wise?

     

    Thats spot on for what your after mate, ive got the 40" version with surround sound, ps3 and sky hd all connected. B)

    oh and its definately all about Sony :lol:

    Up rev tuning 350 and 370Z

    Get good HFCs and they wont crack. Ask Adam@Z1auto, he knows which ones are best. With regard to HFCs/decats leading to loss of torque, I was under the impression this was only if you didnt have the car mapped for them. Once its mapped for them, I beleive you get the low end power/torque back again, its just the stock tune that cant handle them :thumbs:

     

    The decats will make a gain but only with a remap, pretty sure thats what 3FIDDYZ was saying when he had his done.

    petrol!

    Cant see there being any problems with FI as it just reduces the lag between you hitting the throttle and the car responding.

    It doesn't actually decrease the lag at all as it's a digital system so there is no lag as such, all it does is alter the signal so that it tells the ECU that you've got your foot pushed further down than you actually have. If you put your foot down a bit quicker and a bit further than you normally would it does the exact same thing that this box does. ;)

     

    That said, due to the way it plays with your mind (and it is all in the head) it could feel like it reduces lag on a turbo'd setup as you'd be getting the gas flow moving quicker than you normally would. A trick of the mind, sure, but a possibly effective one. Wouldn't make the blindest bit of difference on a supercharger though.

    sorry probably the wrong choice if words with "lag" what I meant is what you have described. A quicker response by telling the ecu you have your foot further down than it is.

    Cant see there being any problems with FI as it just reduces the lag between you hitting the throttle and the car responding. Only thing i can see being problematic in the long run is if your shifting through the gears quickly and heavy on the throttle the wear on the clutch might be increased if you dont rev match.

     

    I might be totally off as im not the most technical but thats the feel it gives me when driving, with the extra power FI produces it will obviously make more of a difference.

    Finally some pics!

    Thanks for all the kind words guys, got some more parts to add on now as well.

     

    After some advice from Abbey ive purchased some adjustable camber arms made by Ichiba, been researching them on my350z and everyone has said good things, so for the cost they seemed the right option!
