Anyone wanting a PS2 60GB PAL (AUS) better find them now at retailing stores.

Prices on ebay for them are rocketting!!! I'm watching a few. RRP stated $999.

People are bidding over them + postage!!!

No big differences? Just Pal/Ntsc.

sorry typo, mean to say first gen PS2, made in JAPAN. like my first PS3 was too that I bought last year. The current PAL PS3 are made in china.

funky, Japanese PS3 is cheap, but you can't play any aussie PS2 games on it, can't play aussie DVDs, and sooner or later wont be able to play aussie BDs either. and if they start coding PS3 games then it's even more of a bitch. that's why I bought the PAL version. it's nice to be able to play local movies and games, plus warranty is nice too. :)

anyway, currently downloading GT5 prologue. can't wait to give that a crack :P

games will stay region free...

and sooner or later someone like action reply or gameshark will rls a muilt-region software so you can play watever you like :thumbsup:

I am so far behind in technology.

You can download games on to hd and play them off that? like a psp?

yeap

somegames like warhawk, allow you to download the game straight off the psn, its only cost $50 too which i think is shop it cost more like $100ish.

can get psx classic games too

im down for that price aswell funky, is it through Amazon and is that US$?

that's the US model thru amazon USA, dunno if they ship international.

I'm planning on picking up a jap PS3 cheap on yahoo auctions while the dollar's strong and get one of my mates to bring it back with him in Nov. Baron von beerhousen... I know all the downfalls, but atm I'm pretty certain I'll only be playing PS3 games on it (don't have any Blu Ray DVD's, and have a PS2 for PS2 games)... plus I'm hedging my bets on a modchip comin out soon. Warranty is for white people.

hmms... is the game linked to an account or something?

What if your HD gets cleared or something happens to your dl file.

Whats the deal?

since it has a usb port can u hook up an external HD?

edit:

doesnt look like u can store games on an external HD and it has to be FAT32 format.

can anyone with a ps3 confirm if there is any warranty sticker anywhere

heres a howto about upgrading the HD, piss easy and if anything goes wrong you can put the original back in for warranty

lol! no chance of me carrying one back for you lover boy. I did that last november when I bought one at launch. 1 they are bulky. 2. they are pretty heavy. PS3, in box plus controllers and games was bout 10kg. plus back then since no-one had one every japanese guy was eyeing me off like he was getting ready to snatch and grab it. hell the valet from the hilton even happily let me leave it in the cloak room for a week, then when I was leaving carried it 5 blocks for me too! and I was getting $1000 to carry that one back. no way would I do it for less the second time around. :P

just post it monkeh. about $100 EMS.

and yeah, it's a good way to go I guess, especially since the 60gb is no longer available here and pal ones are now going for $1300. but I had a japanese one, and decided I wanted a PAL one and I'm happy with that. last night spent playing GT5 on the 46inch 1080p LCD made it all worthwhile :P

umm well my uncle' goin to some wold economic conference there, and hes comin back empty handed (other than the booze)... i already warned him... he doesn't seem to mind.

only problem with EMS is cost of PS3 + EMS > 500 = tax shaftage.

noo.. really? I paid tax on my ferrari jacket and it only came to $550.

you got screwed :P I can promise you the tax free threshold is $1000. back in the day it was $500 I think, but enforced pretty loosely. what they did was up to to $1K but enforce it much more actively.

    • Had another look at the car and I noticed the fuel pump isn't priming on ignition. I'd taken out the pump from the boot to siphon out the old fuel, so maybe I've knocked something loose or broken a wire putting things back together. Will go back with a multimeter and try to work out what's stuffed. Kinda hoping it's the pump itself thats gone so I can upgrade it
    • Yeah agreed, you can't assume that shop are they only people who ever had to work on it. It was just a guess on the mods based on how things were done back then. You can check the Air Flow Meters by the part number on their tags, they are likely either Z32 or Nismo ones (both read about the same but the Z32 one is a little larger while nismo is stock size but supports the higher airflow like a Z32). And yes, all that would get you to 450hp / 340kw To tell what is happening with the turbos, you want a photo of the tag on the core, that will say what it was made out of  (they can retain the front and rear covers to make the plumbing easier)  
    • I'm selling my personal race car. 1992 BNR32 Skyline GT-R About eight years ago the engine developed the dreaded low oil pressure problem. I removed it and found the issue. However shortly after I moved half way across the country, moved my work shop, bought a house, got married, then moved my shop again to it's permanent location for the time being. in turn I do not have the time to race this car as it should be. In turn the engine I built for this car will end up in my street car and this car I hope finds a home with someone who can use it to it's full potential. The roll bar was built by Jason Noren Fabricaiton in Pomona California to SCCA and NASA Specs. The car used to compete in redline time attack and global time attack enthusiast class. It also has a fire suppression system.  The car is with me at my workshop in Kyle Texas, USA. Shipping it is no problem, I can personally deliver the car to the port of either Houston or Los Angeles. Any other port depending on where it is may require transport but we can always work that out.   The chassis itself is rust free, rear quarters and under fenders are free of any rust so it's a very solid foundation for anyone who wishes to move forward with it. As posted and at the asking price of $20,000 USD the car includes all of the following;   All OEM Body panels, front fenders, rear bumpers etc.  OEM Nissan Projector headlamps (Pictured N1 lamps were removed) OEM Nismo Side Skirts / Extensions OEM Rear Spats  Front & Rear Subframes are installed car is full roller Rear Subframe has Cusco Camber Arms, Whiteline HICAS Elimination Front Subframe has Whiteline tension rods and whiteline Sway bars w/ endlinks.  Buddy Club N1 Coilovers All chassis wiring and engine wiring is in tact. Attessa System is fully in tact and was functional before engine removal.  BCNR33 GT-R Brembo Brakes F+R with Endless MX72 Plus Pads, DBA Rotors & Stainless Steel Brake lines Billion Racing Radiator Billion Radiator Hoses Fluidyne Engine Oil Cooler Accusump System (trunk Mounted) 5 Speed Transmission w/ Transfer Case F+R Prop-shafts Rear Differential With rear Axles.  Nismo Gauge Cluster Nismo Clutch + Flywheel   Essentially what is needed to make this car running and driving again is as follows: A working Engine, an ECU, and time to put it together. The price posted is or best offer as I am willing to remove some components to accommodate price to a certain extent. If any serious buyer wants full detailed pictures, videos, or any questions I'll be happy to answer them. I believe this car is priced to move quickly considering it's a rust free and very straight chassis but always open to fair negotiation.  I can be contacted via phone or email.

    • So...to my (and my mechanics doing the swap) surprise...the oil pan from NEO engine does not fit 100% and needs to by modified like this: It is not a huge problem but in the future i want a "proper" oil pan. So question is...what different oil pan can i get to fit without any problems and modification? Thanks! 
    • Some more info I found.  These are the last entries Yoshikiyo Fujii made on his blog before he passed away in 2009: http://blog.livedoor.jp/fujii_dynamics/ And finally this is where the workshop was situated:  https://maps.app.goo.gl/HhTPtHzt3WVcBTiEA
