region free normally means it will play on any 360 in any country. i'm a sony fan so am not real sure on the microsoft side of things but all ps3 games so far are not region coded so i can buy a game from any country and it should theoretically work on my aus spec system.

Imports are mich cheaper usually. Colin mcrae dirt retails here for 110 or 120. It can be imported for about 70 bucks plus say 10 bucks shipping. Plus you would of got it earlier.

If the website says it's region free you should be alright.

LMAO OHH YEAH!! I do the same for PS2 (but its chipped) buy my games from America( www.ebgames.com ), get them WAAAAY cheaper and get them WAAAAY earlier!! Or with some games not at all.

But the catch is I have to buy a few at once to make it even out cos of the high delivery price ($60 AUD).

Hopefully getting confirmation 4 ya soon. I wanna do the opposite of u, buy an NTSC machine (cos of the $$$).

You seen Playasia dude? the shipping might be abit cheaper, i think there in japan or china...

On topic - If the game states its region free, it doesnt matter what region console you use, itll work.

So, Region Free = Perfectly fine

Yeah play-asia easily has the cheapest prices for region free games, they're usually around $65 including shipping for brand new releases! They sometimes have sales on, and every time you buy something from them you get a US $5 off coupon code that you can use on your next purchase over US $50. What they do though is sell each game at US $49.90 so you can't use the coupon for just one game, but the trick is to order some cheap candy with the game to bump it up just over the US $50 mark.

They list the region compatibility for each game, so you know the game will work on your console if there is a green tick next to PAL. You can even browse by region-free games here, so you know that all games listed will work on your console.

dvdcrave is an australian site that sometimes has decent prices for games that aren't region free with the bonus of fast delivery.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
