hey guys... well I broke my line a couple of weeks ago and it will be out of action for a few months... sooo brilliant I thought, its cold outside I will just sit at home playing 360 for a few weeks, not go out and save some cash for the rebuild... which would have been a great idea had my Xbox not decided to f**king break on me too! so my car is busted and now I can't play Forza Motorsport 2 which I have been waiting to come out for the last 12 months... I need to get my hoon on! Thank the son of rajab for Foxtel otherwise I might be forced to actually speak to my flatmates hehe

so enough rambling, where should I take the 360 to get repaired? Its no longer under warranty, and I'm in Melbourne SE...

ps. its flashing 3 red lights at me when I turn it on and making hideous noises through the amp/speakers... it won't even boot up without a game in there:(

Well truthfully under warranty or not the problem is microsofts fault and is a hardware fault. So they should fix it for free either way. They sent the things out and they have had so many of the exact same problem. The hardware is faulty from factory so should be fixed at no charge. My 2cents. oh and yes i had the same problem, but had the warranty through EBGames so just took it in and got a straight swap on the spot. shame that runs out soon and knowing my luck the same thing will happen a few weeks after it does then send it off to microsoft to get it fixed.....again

That's what you get for f**king up production and rushing to market you mean :domokun:

3 year warranty is nice though..

Apparently if you get a towel or the like and wrap the 360, the heat can cause the dodgy joints to refuse and it may work again. Seemed to have worked for a few people.

Mines fine though, I never seem to have the same problem with electronics other people do? :thumbsup:

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock.

      Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.

      They have said food will be limited. Mainly meat pies and sausage rolls from memory. But they have a coffee van!
