My brother has had to return his 360 a second time after having it die on him after about 4 or so months of ownership. He 'got it fixed' and it lasted for another week before the second break down. He would be able to play the machine for about 5 minutes before it would either come up with a system error or just shut down and flash red lights around the power button. Poor value! :(

Did you know you can buy an intercooler for your xbox 360... :laugh:

yep got one of those the other week... hadn't been having any problems but was a little alarmed by the egg frying temperature of the disks when taken out after a couple of hours playing... its just 3 fans that bolt on the back... seems to extract a lot more air... or I am just a ricer at heart

My brother was considering getting one of those intercoolers before his 360 carked it for the second time. I know someone else with a 360 who hasn't had any issues with it what so ever but he's only a casual gamer so maybe he hasn't played it enough to find the gremlins in the system yet.

Man, i want one of these but i want to mod, does any1 know if i buy one @ K-Mart or Target, they will swap it if it breaks down or do they send away for repairs too?

Actually wouldnt u just be able to re-flash the original firmware back onto it before it went back??

Any1 got a direct link on where to order the cooler? Im an avid gamer and my systems tend to be run days on end :cheers:

You have to open up the console to flash the firmware, when you open the console, you void your warrenty.

      Compatible rear drive shafts R34 N/A?

      By RB25inside · Posted

      UPDATE: Yes the GSP Axles are compatible. I installed it on my R34 today and they are working a treat! Turns out that the S13, S14, S15, and 200 SX all used the same axles as the HR34, and ER34 NA models. Which is 2 bolt x 3 pairs.

      Got the passenger door on plus the master cylinder and booster. Loaded up to take it home. At home, the colour changes a lot in the light.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Nothing cheap, but I have seen the AC Hydraulic DK13HLQ which is pretty close to what you're asking for. The problem is the hydraulic cylinder mandates that the back of the jack be a certain height and Skylines have fairly deep inset floor jack points. A more certain and cheap option is to get some nominal 2x10 inch lumber boards and have one board be 1.5 feet, the other board 3 feet. Glue it all together with lots of clamps to maintain pressure. Make two of these. The ramp suggested above is a good idea, it takes quite a bit of clutch slip to get over each of the boards. I only need the first ~1.5 inches for my low profile jack on a standard ride height car but a lowered car you want to go up to the full ~3-3.5 inches. Paint it or store indoors if you want it to last.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok. And Nistune? I read (here too) mainly on Stagea threads that it can by "turn off" with Nistune. But they say they still had the sensor plug in. Next week iam going to the Nistune(and other ECUs) tuner so i can finally make it work. I drove the car home and apart from the cut it drove great. No misfire no smoke no hesitation or rough start...so hoping it is this sensor that is missing
