looks pretty cool. but since they are cutting current gen ones left to $499 I'd buy one of those. most likely to get a game or two free as well since they will want to clear them. the new one wont be discounted or bundled for a long time... and for people wanting to add a big HD and a new OS then you'd be better off buying a current fat one at the new $499 price.

lol, I remember when I sold my Jap first release, first day model for $1900!!

better off getting an xbox 360 :yes:

Yea definitely get a 360 with their 54% fail rate!!!

how can you say they are better with figures like that?

    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
    • Keeping in mind that for most people this is a week to month long job!
    • Its also worth mentioning that 30 years after it left the factory and god knows how many missed oil changes since, there is every possibility that one or more lifters are ticking because they are sticky/gummed up. To resolve that you need to pull the cams then pull each lifter, disassemble, clean, reassemble, soak in oil and re-install, and they should come up good as new.
