i had to reformat my ps3 today. reinstalled gt5 (twice due to it being stupid). then had to download all the updates. fuck me that was a pain in the sphincter. about 2gb to download all of them. after downloading and installing half of them an error occured. even though it had installed 5 of the updates, because of the stupid way it does it, i had to start all over again. 2 of the updates that it had already installed were 608mb and 1192mb, which it had to download again. so it took about 5 hours all up to install and update. really wish they would allow you to download the game updates on a pc to the install via usb, like you can with system updates. would mean that you could just download each new update as it gets released and then if you have to reinstall the game you can just plug in a usb stick and apply all the updates from that.

cant say ive had an issue like that.

When switching consoles from my old YLOD model to my new one, it was a simple transfer (after getting the old one running again)

otherwise the only time ive had an issue of it dropping out is on my brothers PS3, when we installed GT5 we also had 4 other comps interneting at the same time and it had a little error in the last 3% of the updates (all of them):angry:, but it had only forgotten about 300mb the next time round. so no big issue

i feel your pain, just spend the last 6 hours ridding my PC of a virus, and attempting to recover lost data.

completly ruined my GT5 session, was half way through a dam race too >_<. but almost done, i'll be online racing for quite a long time tomorrow

so drop into the room and have a few races if you guys are bored. i'm usually in the Japanese GT300/GT500 rooms

i have it drop out all the time when doing updates over wifi (router boots it off. router is a piece of junk. restarts itself every few hours). this time i had it connected via ethernet and it was when it was installing one of the updates that it got an error, not a connection issue.

New Dlink router with Wi-Fi less than 100 bucks!!! win. i had to replace mine recently due to a lightning strike (which also fried the Network plug in my Comp :( )

Coincidence! My router got fried by lightning strike last Friday night and then was pronounced dead on Monday.

On the plus side, Harvey Norman have 30% Cisco stuff at the moment so I grabbed an X3000 which is performing very nicely :)

I know the new Vette is now available on a DLC pack, if that's your thing

I'm keen on finally getting the Spa circuit, and adding the Aventador would be good

But need to do my first ever system upgrade on the PS3 in nearly 3 years beforehand... as soon as my data allowance rolls over for the month, lulz

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
