blah blah blah here we go again, take your pick. either love your PS3 or spend your whole life writing why the Xbox is apparently better although the question was never "why is your xbox better"

different systems, different games.

im in the PS3 and GT5 category. (as per the question)

my vote gose, buy the PS3 from the shops, Jb or what ever.... buy GT5.... save some cash and check ebay and pick upa 360 for 300-400bux and buy Foz 3..... best of both worlds....

Why would you buy the PS3 new? It's the more expensive console.

I still own all 3 consoles (Wii, 360, Ps3) and by far the best is the PS3. Never had any hardware problems with it, free online play and blu ray player. Have had 2 360's break on me over 20 times in the last 4 years each time I had to repair myself because microsoft always found a way for it to not be covered under warranty. I go between the two 360's when I can be bothered repairing them for the millionth time and just swap the hard drives over, meanwhile the Ps3 just works and keeps on working. I like both the 360 and the PS3 both have their own great exclusives but at this juncture if I could only have one console it would be the Ps3, save myself $70 a year in online fees and the thing doesnt break all the f**king time.

As some others said.. Just go with the one you sem to like.. I got all 3 also.. And i'm more of a 360 guy.. But that's because i was used to the xbox (original) controller.. And i got used to the feel.. The PS3 controller feels weird

So if you've had a PS2 before, then i would choose PS3.. This comes with the great benefit of free online play

If you've had an xbox before, then i'd go the 360.. Better layout on the menu, online costs does give you some more/better options, and focused more on what it is.. A games console..

and we've seen the repeated errors in the GT5 thread. My brother and my boss both have gen 1 360s, never had an error. My brothers has had a hard life in dusty and dog hair filled environments and infrequent updates. The only RROD I have had personal experience with was an xbox 360 that was used on a 40C day with shit piled on it, replaced by Microsoft, we told the guy it'd overheat.

Forza 3 you ca. Rewind if you didn't like the corner you took lol. That is just enough reason to not buy such a pos game, may swell just buy grid. Also div why do ps3 exclusives look as good, if not better in some cases if it's such an inferior machine?

Your time doesn't count if you use a rewind or cut a corner or draft someone etc etc and all your lap times are on the internets or live-nets or whatever.

You can't compare an exclusive, it's exclusive. You might as well compare OpenGL ES to DirectX 9.0 or rather the modified forms the PS3 and 360 use. You know what else uses OpenGL ES? Phones.

Maybe Brink will help you when it's released as apparently it has had the PC, 360 and PS3 developed seperately.

This would finally be a proper way to compare the consoles. They must have put a fair bit of $$$ into making this game if separate development is the case.

still isn't quite a true comparison as the company may possibly favour one console over the others so put more time/effort/money into that console, or may simply have more knowledge about how to push the limits of 1 console more than the other.

choose forza 3. over gt5, even forza 2, i mean i love GT5 to death, but that whole "real driving simulator" is the biggest load of rubbish, might aswell play NFS hot pursuit 2.

Forza is more accurate in just about all the ways. GT5 is more or less just a fun game, no real challenge (besides the endurance races)

xbox has their system more figured out than ps3 though, alot easier and better UI, plus i havent had any game or crashing issues. my old ps3 kept gettin ylod, fixed it over and over again, and finally i put it in the oven too long the last time and i cracked a little black thing on my board, so i sold it for 170 bucks on ebay :D

now my xbox has been goof for over 3 years, played about 14hrs a day.

But GT5 has sooo many cars, lovin the cars :D

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.

      The old approach was to fill the cylinder/chamber with a length of rope pushed in through the sparkplug hole. The new approach is to connect compressed air to the sparkplug hole and fill it with enough pressure to push the valves up. Doing either of these things with the head on and the engine in the car is a lot less pleasant than doing it properly.

      Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      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

      Unpeeling the Orange

      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.
