The process can be quick and painless if you have someone do it for you or painful and slow and potentially console-destroying if you do it yourself.

Unlocking a hdd is the process whereby you get an aftermarket hdd to work with your console.

try www.1tronic.com for info

go to www.xbox-scene.com

there's modchip methods and non modchip methods (much more fun)

both ways you can put a 120gig HDD, and now there's a method which lets you put a 180gig on too. Only problem with putting a larger HDD is that it may overheat, so u gotta make sure its suitable... htey have a table on the site which u can use to see if u'rs will be compatible.

an XBOX hdd has a boot sector that's modified to let the xbox know that its a proprietory HDD, when you put a normal HDD in it will know cos it has no modified boot secotr (unlocked), so you gotta lock it by changing the bootsector with a program you can download for free after hooking up the HDD to your PC motherboard

Easy to do yourself. never soldered before and I did it. Funn thing is, there's and empty slot on the motherboard just waiting for the chip....that's great.....in the old Xbox' you had to 'solder suck' the solder out before installing the chip,..In the later version, the solder was already gone....Making it even easier to chip...thanks MSoft

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.

      Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
