Prefer if there was someone in SE Suburbs that can do it.. my mate did it to his but ive got this newer dvd drive its a BenQ which is reaaaaaaaally complicated to do so i'd prefer to pay to get it done properly..

My Technician at work can do it for you.

PM me for details. :blink:

In order to make backup copies you will need a DVD Burner that if capable of having its ROM flashed to a certain standard (forget what it is) to allow for backing up.

I recommend Cavern Imports. Ive used them before for my PS2. My mate recently had them alter his XBox 360 and they provided him information on which Burner to buy, etc. I believe they have a couple of locations. One we have used is in Boronia Mall.

DogKnight: Really? My mate flashed his himself, and he says when he wants to make backups of originals u need to go through a whole procedure, but im just going to be using image files and burning them onto Dual Layer discs most likely and that works fine he says.. Cavern Imports looks good they charge $85 but thats quite a long way away from where i live

(00)SKYLINE(00): Its Xbox360 not at a Wii ;) serial number looks nothing like that one u said..

Do they still have those stalls at Carribean Gardens that could do it?

This one looks good http://www.acegamestore.com/product.aspx?B...p;ProductID=503 Its $60 plus whatever it costs for me to shit it to them, and that includes them shipping it back insured so hmmm..

If you do it, be careful if you currently use Xbox Live. It doesnt like it. My mate and I experimented with switching hard disks, sign in ID's etc to test after he had his done.

Incidently, mine is for sale if anyone is interested. Shameless plug I know but includes 2 controllers, 1 remote, PGR3 game and very minimal playing time. Have the original box too. ;)

saff_cossie: Apparently they havent cought out the iExtreme v1.4 firmware on xbox live yet but hmmm.. i still got like 3 weeks left on my free trial so i'll give it a go.. if i get banned then meh...

krzysiu: thanks for that ill get him to do it coz damn $50 is cheap plus its only a 10 min drive :)

Ahh ok my bad i misread it.. Im just gonna go to this guy in Springy so its close by and only $50... I just cant wait to play GTA4 tomorrow night :)

Dual layer discs are like $3.50 each and most people are putting the games up for like $10 so no use buying them if its gonna cost so much, most i'd pay is $5 each for a game to be honest

Yeah man he is alright. He chipped my wii :)

Yeah you could probably flash it yourself. However I think whe Cavern do it they put some sort of warranty on it. Also if they f**k it up they need to fix it. If you f**k the flashing up, then you have an expensive doorstop.

Jamie, ill check the serial number tonight, thanks.

Exatly.. goes with any console tho, thats why i'd rather pay $50 then fck around with opeining it and playing around with all these parts im not familiar with..

If any1 needs their wii modded I can also organise. Should also have a couple of fully modded/pimped put brand new Wii's in the next couple of weeks, throw me a PM if your interested (another shameless plug :P )

Cosmo, make sure your careful in which images u select to burn/play on your 360. Look it up, u know vital info like making sure u dont play leaked games till their official region release, checking the image with mulleter, etc. Just small lil precautions should keep your live account alive longer.

Saff, how much u want for the 360? Looking for an R&D machine.

Man im going nuts here i got it done from that guy in springvale, i borrowed 2 backup's from my mate that he did from renting them at Blockbuster.. anyway they keep coming unreadable disc! Rang the guy back up like wtf it dont work but works on his.. he said its because the games have to be stealthed to be undetectable on xbox live or they dont work.. Mulleter showed me it aint stealthed so yeah guess ill have to find it to download..

Yeah well GTA4 will be finished in about 30 mins so that seems to be pre-stealthed (http://www.abgx.net/filename/?ch=6).. But i dont plan to plug in to xbox live until its officially released because yeahh not out for another week or so.. I dont care as much about live im just dieing to play GTA4 thats why i rushed down to get my xbox flashed this afternoon!

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
