Nah it's not that your ps3 and router don't get along, ps3's just have crappy wireless hardware. Mine sits less than 1m from my router and it still disconnects during games and downloads really really slow. Swapped to cable connection and it's all good.

no such issue here, mines always been wireless and have never had an update go askew or a drop out...unless the modem/router has a tantrum, but that effects all comps on my line. it is a bit slower on the DL's but not enough to worry me.

I bought an EoP (Ethernet over Power) set for mine. Plugs into the wall at your router and turns your power cables into a network basically. Just plug the PS3 into the wall unit with a CAT5 cable and works a treat :)

I got sick of constantly getting droupouts on my PS3 and t-box so now I have a 5 port router in my room so I get "wired" internet despite the fact the actual router connected to the internet is several rooms away.

Yeah I've never really had an issue with dropouts on updates, they are just really slow. Last one was some dlc, 500mb and it took nearly 2 hours! The dropouts happen more during online multiplayer, gets really annoying, never had an issue with wired.

What's the speed like in those ethernet over power setups? I had them in mind to extend my network but just ended up running a length of CAT5 under the house.

They're rated at "100mbit", and through tests I'm currently getting about 87-93mbit. So while not fantastic, they're good enough for media streaming, and updating on the net.

Some of us live in apartments ;)

yeah you wont get amazing speed out of them but should be enough to support max speed on your ADSL+2

download speeds on my PS3 seem good anyway. Had some trouble with mine recently not connecting (the two EoP units) but up until then It ran faultlessly. Still not sure what happened but I've moved some stuff around and its all good again

nah it's that my modem is a kill joy. when i go into the logs in the modem it shows that it has booted the ps3 off each time. the modem has issues though. probably 10 times a day it will boot all computers off and sort of resets itself.

i have a long phone line somewhere, and a few metre long ethernet cable, so i'll bring the modem to the ps3 i think.

+1 for new modem.

Spend the few extra $$$ for one. You'll be glad you did.

I had low end linksys which would give me grief all the time. Would never hook me into a cod match.

Changed it over to a high end d-link and haven't looked back since. Over the three years I've had it, not ONCE has it dropped the connection.

i was using a high end draytek at my parent's house; since moving out i'm just using the one optus gave me... no problems at all; torrents run fine with however many connections in the NAT table, no dropouts during games.... is pretty friggin good for a basic modem

just saw that in the DLC content coming out next week there will be Spa Francorchamps (with weather effects)

F$%@#$^!@ excellent!

Spa is my all time favourite track and think its one of the better real life tracks out there, def downloading this :)

i seem to find it easier to drive when i'm using bonnet cam. if i use the bumper cam i cant hit the apex's right and i end up being 2-3 sec slower per lap

funny how a slight change in view can cost you that much time.

    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
    • You have no idea how many goddamn boxes I received these past three months haha Most have been put to use by now though, luckily
    • Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
    • Regardless of neglect or incompetence, fixing either is tedious and annoying. Most of the neglect on my car is definitely rust. I hope I can at least pass inspections later on and they won't fail the car due to slightly corroded hardlines. I was generous with rust converter and wax and it looks ok, most lines in the rear are hard to see properly anyways.  Definitely will test them though to make sure they don't rupture under pressure, in that case the car isn't going anywhere this year.
