Just quickly, other than the fact that us is on 110 and we are 240, is there going to be much difference? Is there anything i should be aware of? My sister is coming back from the US and she asked if i wanted one. So any info is good enough for me! Thanks

Sorry I haven't check here for a little bit but I will help you out the best I can.

If you are getting a console with Backwards Compatablity you will only be able to play US release PS1 and PS2 as they are region locked.

DVD's are also region locked so no playback of Australian DVD's.

PS3 games are multi-region so you can play PS3 games released anywhere in the world.

Blu-Ray Movies some are region locked and some are not, You best off ordering US version of Blu-Ray movies to be on the safe side.

I would say that would be most of your problems, PAL VS NTSC isn't really a problem in this day and age. You already mentioned the power issues. Another thing the Warrenty may not be valid in Australia.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.

      Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.

      Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!

      Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
