I was really keen on the X-box untill I heard about the poor sales, And I love Gran Turismo, so PS-2 was the obviouse choice. So I am now saving for one.

But the final nail for X-box for me was when I talk to the guys at the video store, they have the PS-2 games and have ordered all the Game Cube games, but are staying well away from the X-box, as they have done all the research into what will be succsessful and what won't.

Has anyone played Project Gotham?

God sony piss me off, they wrote a similar article in the states about not dropping prices, what did they do the other week...dropped the price. I wish sony would get off their high horses and just do what's right for people. It's just the way sony are though, and people love them for it, flashy colours, cheap quality. Same as bloody Holden and HSV.

IBM was working with Nintendo to create the x-box, which allowed Nintendo to incorporate Copper technology into their system.

The components in the Cube are as small as 1 600th the width of a human hair, this alone is one great advantage over both other machines.

Also the some 1.5 gb cartridge for games is twice the data of a cd, which is cool.

I still prefer the X-Box though, better games, a GPU, and it looks cool, even though I would probably end up customising the case for the hell of it.

Who cares which one is more powerful. What matters is which ones has better games, and the gameplay.

We're all car fanatics here, and you cannot go past GT3!!!

However, GP4 is coming out on the xbox, but i'll save that one for the PC.

As far as I'm concerned, I payed some damn good money for a damn good PC, and I don't give a **** what anyone tells me, any game on the Xbox will come out at some stage on the PC. I mean the Xbox is just a lightly modified PC.

If you read up about it, MS like most companies is losing money on the hardware to make money on the software. Therefore it stands to reason that any game that can *very* easily and quickly converted to PC, will also be sold on the PC therefore increasing their market to sell to.

/Start of rant

However I can't get GT3 on PC, Tekken Tag, Dead or Alive 2 (Although you never know, DoA3 might be on PC) etc.

I bought a PSX for GT1,2 and THPS1,2. Thats it.

Unfortunately I can't afford a PS2 right now, but when you spend like $2000 a year plus on your computer (My excuse is I'm a tech), I don't need ****ty console games.

SOF2, RTCW Multi, WarC3, Morrowind (oh my god is so good) etc, are far better than any crap that comes out on consoles. Plus most of these games come with free internet updates ,patches, nude women... oh sorry ahead of myself.

Anyway, I'm sure I've pissed off a heap of people already, so I'll shut up. But anyone who wants to ague which has better games, play Baldur's Gate 2 the whole way through, and then tell my consol games are better.

/End of rant

Cheers,

Tim

ok here it is : x-box as hardware is better... however doesnt have the game base, and you know anything with the microsoft label is gonan grash 50% of the time...

ps2_ not as good as xbox but still has the best variety of games out of game system...

PC- upgradable, the most games.. full stop.. the only way to go.. if you run linux haha.. coz once again it has microsoft so it crashes.

      I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.

      I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.

      Yet another RB Neo misfiring thread after reading all the others.

      Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.
