dont really want to say how much exactly. But retail is 62,000yen. Those were all gone within hours of going on sale. For the next week many stores had some and were marking them up as high as 140,000 yen. I didn't pay anywhere near that much, but I doubt any of the 'cheap' ones will be left. Better to wait a month or so until there is more stock and you can buy at retail price again. :( Bear in mind postage will be around $150 as they are farkin heavy.

nope, you chose language during initial set-up. Once you've chosen english all menus are in english, and any game you put in will default to english sound and menus. so all my japanese games still play in english. Plus as games are region free you can play Aussie games on it too.

good stuff.

based on the prices there, you think I could get a 60g to Aus for under a grand?

So what's the deal with the HDD's? What type are they? Say if they’re SATA2 for example could I buy a 300GB SATA2 drive myself to install? Or are they some stupid sony one where you have to buy another overpriced sony HDD to upgrade it?

Have absolutely no idea, but guessing it will be overpriced sony one.

Does it have the same function as the xbox where you can hire games and wack them on the HDD?

Yay it doesn't have to be a sony HDD... but it does have to be a small laptop HDD.

yeah, they've already been pulling apart the unit.. doesn't have to be sony drive.

rofl.. that's not a *legal* function.. to be honest, people should at least buy a few games to support those that spend all the money to give you something to play with.

haha, dont think I'll be going into the PS3 retailing business. I just spent a few hours playing Resistance and Ridge Racer on-line and I have to say it's awesome. This is the console to buy fellas.

as Genor8r already discovered it's just a regular notebook type HD so atm, I dont know what the biggest available is, but I'm guessing not much more than 150GB. It's not a huge deal though. 60GB will keep me going a fair while.

I've been playing online with the PS network, and connecting with my wireless network at home which is hooked up to 1.5M ADSL. Lag is non-existant so far, and the game play is awesome. I've been racing in RR7 with up to 8 players no problem, and 16 players in Resistance. It surprised me a bit as I thought my connection may be a bit lame by todays standard, but it's holding up fine. :P

Nismo, if/when there is retail priced stock back in japan at 62Kyen, then it's possible you could get one here for ~ $1K AUD. problem is the box is quite heavy. Near 10kgs so postage would be around $150. plus you need someone to buy it, and post it for you and not many people will do that for free. :P

I will probably buy another one when I'm back there in January.

GTG, need to play some more :D

Yeah, that's just because Australia is so far behind the rest of the world when it comes to broadband speed :rofl:

Are there any power supply issues between here and Japan, or does it have a switchable 120/240v supply? or are you running it if off a different transformer?

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
