"Holidays 2013" so I'd say November.

No backwards compatibility. Not sure why people actually care about this feature. It's not like your old machine suddenly disappears if you buy a new one, and besides the PS2 no machine has ever really done backwards compatibility anyway. The 360 had limited compatibility that was gimped to say the least. I'd rather a machine with no backwards compatibility then gimp a new machine to make it work with old games.

In the plus side, PSN will be doing digital distribution of 'critically acclaimed' PS1, PS2 and PS3 games :)

my ps3 plays 1, 2 and 3 games.

means I only have to have the 1 console plugged in.

and I do play 1 and 2 games on it.

not often, but thats the point.

dont play them enough to have the dedicated console plugged in permanently.

and cbf hooking it all up when I do just want to throw it on.

and you might be able to download it, bit whats the point if I already own it?

Understated? Market share? yes. Critical acclaim? Nope.

Yamazaki has taken 1st at the World Whisky Awards 5 years running now for best single malt and Hibiki has picked it up 4 out of the last 5 years for blended malts.

And yet the Japanese drink their whisky as Mizuwara - 2 parts water to one part whisky in a highball with LOTS of ice.

The 25 is almost flawless. Perfect balance with lovely sweetness off the grains but intense wood flavours from the maturation. Hint of smoke and a touch of peat but not a lot. Mainly dried fruits but at the spicier end of things.

Yep - Japanese whisky produce high quality stuff and have been for quiet some time now. But even the 12yo yamazaki is rather pricy at $85 a bottle (or something like that)

I never put ice - water only if required (usually with the younger whiksies - anything over 18 - usually very minimal to open it up)

or you could pay a smidgen more and buy Glenfiddich 18 year old where a single malt is also aged in the same mix of barrels and using the same process as the Master.

How you get away with charging nearly the same for a 12 year old as an 18 year old when they are aged in an almost identical process is unknown to me... That is some clever marketing.

Marketing depts justifying their existence - very well mind you

I think that Japanese whiskies are way understated from a market share point of view. They are if not already better than some scotch whiskies.

Have 12 yo Yamazaki - very nice - lots of sherry with hints of caramel and sultanas

Yamazaki is beautiful! It's great that it's understated- keeps cost down. :D

I have small ice and big ice. I use ice if it's a warm day and then it's only one small cube to chill a little.

A touch of water opens it up so much more though.

Keen as to get it - just hard to procure in Oz :unsure:

its color is so deep (better fkn not have any coloring in it :glare: ) - read reviews about it even think it was nominated the best SM in the world over 20yo)

Pphhhh........blends - can't drink blends (been many years since I have)

A touch of water opens it up so much more though.

this is a big factor Tony.

Try your whisky in a Glencairn glass (no ice ok) and add a drop of water, cover it up (with a watch glass cover) and leave for 20mins.....then taste it and thank me later.

They do have some awesome models,

Sadly too expensive of a hobby for me, the real car costs me enough to manage as it is...

Yep, heard that. the one above is just standard R32 GTR model and cost me around $89 + $20 postage IIRC.

I have the R32 VSPECII at home also in crystal white but costs me even more, which is why I'm not buying anymore......for now.

    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
