hey all,

just wondering, does anybody know of trust worthy PS2 Modifiers?

i live in ACT and im struggling to find one, but i suppose im willing to send my PS2, if i know it wont be stolen etc... so if youve dealt with some honest people, your opinion (and contact) would be great.

feel free to PM me, if your un-sure about posting.

any help would be great,

thanks

If you've got the older style PS2 (the big chunky one) just do it yourself, there's plenty of tutorials... that's how I did mine. You can do a modchip-less hack of the PS2, all you need is a special savegame on your memory card and a PS1 game. Don't even have to open up your PS2, and let you put a hard drive into it...

yeah, i knew someone who did that, and recommended them to some mates without knowing this guys authenticity, turns out he was a fat lazy c**t and too forever to do it, then when it was "done" it didnt work.

i dont know where he is now, but i still feel guilty of my mates to this very day...

well someones kindly told me about a dude in canberra so ill check him out. although if no good looks like itll be going to syd for a make over...

id do it myself if i was confident. but im not, and if i "F" it up then i cant do much...

ended up getting my ps2 chipped for $150, some might find it abit pricey, but work was guaranteed and supplied with an ABN. plus he's just across the road so if any probs he's easy to get to.

^^ i wouldnt try doing the ps2 myself either... they may be cheaper if anything goes wrong to buy a new one, but i just didnt wanna risk it. plus i suck at soldering...

but thanks for input anyway guys!

I know one shop in Chatswood (NSW) and they also have a chip-less hack where they use a cd loader and a piece of plastic hooks to pull the PS2 cd tray out (on the older PS2) so then you dont have to press the eject button and make the console protection program kicks in. Sorry Im not even sure how it works but it seem to be a new hack that keep you PS2 intact ie no chip, HD or network card.

oh ok, sounds interesting! i know the modchip is the quickest way to play NTSC/COPY/MULTI-REGION etc... but to get a modchip the ps2 needs to be opened, which cuts the warranty sticker on the back, and when you go to sell/trade your ps2 to Stores, (EBGames i know for a fact) wont buy it.

The HDD and Network thingy is a good way, but i think it wouldve been to expencive for HDD and netwrok thingy, then if your not very computer literate it may be hard to network games to the HDD. abit too complicate for myself.

this new thingy you speak of sounds ok, all depends on price though. i still think modchip is the quickest way to play everything (within reason) on your ps2. and if you can modchip the ps2 yourself, then dayum... that was a cheap modification! modchips dont cost that much, i think between $10 and $30

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
