Someone other than me must like Tony Hawk, because they've made so many of them! :D

Has anyone got their hands on Project 8 yet?

Does anyone plan on getting it?

Any idea what's going on with Downhill Jam?

Are they only making that for Nintendo? :D

If so, that sucks. :P

Spyro:

The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning

Spyro rocks, I can't wait to try this one. ;)

I suppose everyone else is too grown up for Spyro?

Some of the newer Spyro games a a little more complicated than the older ones, there was one that I had terrible trouble navigating.. can't remember which one it was though, all the landcape looked the same. :)

Had a quick squizz in EB games today, both games are now available, it's just a matter of deciding whether to get them for PSP or PS2 :huh:

Yeh I love the Tony. Just bought an American Wasteland/THUG2 twin pack the other day for $50 (Harvey Norman). I'm enjoying playing American Wasteland so far (as are my house-mates hehe).

I was reading a review for Project 8 on ign the other day.. didnt sound too promising from what they were saying.

I wasn't really happy with American Wasteland, I think they just wanted to get it into stores prior to (last years) christmas rush.

I had all sorts of problems with it.

There were lots of stupid glitches, I kept getting stuck inside walls, or stuck in impossible spots with no way of walking/skating/jumping/climbing out, other than resetting the console.

...but apart from the bugs, it was a good game.

The whole "no loading" thing was a bit of a scam too....

At least with the loading screens it gives you a little while to look away from the screen and give your fingers a rest.

Without the laoding screen, you have to continue skating along really boring bits of landscape while you wait for it to load.

Oh well... at least the game came with a free watch. :woot:

Ive been played pretty much all the Tony Hawk games since the first one but to me its starting to get a bit stale. There is only so much you can improve it and alot of the newer titles make it hard to justify the price when it seems more like an expansion pack than an new game. Still at the end of the day I still get it cause I just have to unlock the bails vids :happy:

Last tony hawk i got was number 4. They started to stagnate after that. Even 4 wasn't all that different from the earlier titles.

But the new one is built ground up for the next gen consoles and looks alright.

Been playing Project8 on 360.. the xbox and ps2 versions were handed off by neversoft to another developer. Neversoft themselves are now focusing on PS3 and xbox360.. In Project8 there are a lot of small enhancements, and the graphics kick ass, but with that they've taken out a few things which is a bit annoying. Over XB Live it's pretty awesome fun skating against 8 players.

Like the above, I mainly played THPS 3/4.. a little bit of THUG1. Project8 is good if you haven't really played them for a few games. Bit like the EA stuff.

Downhill Jam is a totally different game more like the snowboarding games.. just for the Nintendo Wii.. The use of the motion controller should make it worth playing, despite the graphics not being quite up there.

I've read that Downhill Jam will be coming to PS2 as well during the April - June 2007 quarter in the US. I really liked THPS 2 and 3 but haven't played any since then. I've seen my brother play American Wasteland and some of the moves that you can do look crazy!

I forgot about this thread :woot:

A few months ago, due to the frustration of not being able to get higher than rank 2 on P8, I decided it was time to move on to Spyro...

If you're a fan of the traditional Spyro games, don't bother with A New Beginning.

It's CRAPTACULAR!

You have to watch all the scenes, Sparks can talk (and he's a smart ass, voice is done by David Spade and is ultra annoying)

You can't find a fairy and save the game, you have to play the entire level all the way to the end, or you lose your progress.... which led to having to leave the console on when some levels took several hours to complete.

Spyro has some cool new moves, and can slam things in slow motion, but the new moves didn't make up for how shitty the rest of the game was.

Completed the whole game in about 20 hours, and didn't seem to unlock anything other than credits.

Very disappointed.... especially after waiting for what seemed like an eternity for another Spyro game to come out.

      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.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
