ANYONE who has this problem, or knows anyone that could help, it would be GREATLY appreciated...

The Screen in my car can not support Pal-60 mode on the Xbox (it goes black and white), only Pal-50... some games do not run in Pal-50 at all...

i would like to amend this somehow that doesn't involve paying another 2k for a head unit... plus im pretty sure there is only one that can do it, and its not even released as of yet...

im thinking a converter of some type... maybe i could convert the high def signal to pal 50 or something... i dunno...

so any info, anyone thats done this, anyone that knows anyone or a shop that has done this... any of this information would be fantastic :glare:

dude xbox 360 is crap.

i got one the munite they were released...it froze 2 hours after i opened it!!! so i got a replacement one for free of course....that died about a month and a half ago. took it back to harvey norman and they sent it off to be repaired. its taken 39 days so far and harvey norman still dont know when ill get it back. they said theres some ppl that have waited 60 days and nothing...

then today my workmate said he ws watching a morning show and M$ have admitted that about 40% of the 360 consoles have fatal errors.

im soo pissed off..i got 512k adsl installed like 2 weeks ago mainly for playing xbox live...lucky i have an orig xbox so i can play halo2 and pgr2 online...

wouldnt risk the 360 mate. they are time bombs. puting it in ur car is asking for trouble. just my advice

what the f**k did that have anything to do with anything in this thread?

welcome to Microsoft's world of meeting deadlines... your a fool for buying it when it first came out, i waited quite some time...

its on the floor next to me til i can figure out how to play Forza in the car :D normally it sits in the boot next to the battery...

though a better place might be on the side of the boot where your car jack shit normally is... but i have a 10 stacker there...

why, thinkin about doing the same thing? :D

Well one.. you're a knob.. my 360 died.. rang the number got a RMA form.. sent off and got back 6 days later..

And yes the morning show did say they are having problems with ONE! particular error.. and they have now extended warranty on that error to 3 years..

Keep your MS bashing noobness amongst you and your mates

having a ps2 or xbox1 in the car is the smart idea. you can set them up to play games off a HARD DRIVE.

dont hold your breath for that to happen with a X360 or a Ps3 yet... microsoft said ppl that get caught via their scanning systems playing games in suspiecous manner will have their NIC address of their x360 banned off xbox live for life. and if you buy a xbox360 solely for car you must be thik in the head... lol. id go ps3, it has less issues, just make sure you give either console breathing room, possibly its own air duct to outside.

you are a total ass. i just tried to advise you on thinking twice b4 puting the 360 in your car and you attack me. go f%*k yourself.

if your just going to use it in ur car you could get it chipped then you wont need to leave the disks in your car, which would be a piss off if they got stolen. its not like your going to be playing over the net from the car.

i dont know about the new xbox chipping but on the old 1 you can switch between pal and ntsc which might get it working on your cars screen.

the new ones can change, and i use the xbox for both in car and at home... plus i drive the car a lot less now, so its only in there sometimes...

i still haven't put it in to check this, and i doubt i will cause im making some switches for some other shit first...

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
