cheers. ive heard nothing but good things about the sennheiser of any type.

but was a little unsure on the turtle beach gear. the HD280 is a bit more than i wanted to spend. and the p11 looks real nice :)

seems most people dont go the the surround headsets

Senheisers are awesome. They produce fantastic sound quality minus the large pricetag. As madaz said, they block out heaps of noise so you hear every enemy and each bullet shell as it hits the ground. Downside is they are pretty tight and after a while it feels as though your head will implode.

Senheisers HD550 for me. I've modified them to HD595 specs. It's a 10min job yet the price difference between 555 & 595 is like $60-$70

You need a amp'd sound card to drive them properly but by fuck they sound awesome.

I don't believe in the "5.1" headphones, load of shit i reckon.

The 595/555 certainly sound directional and with the Auzentech soundcard i have driving it all, very impressed. Great for watching movies & music which i listen to of a lot hence i grabbed these ones.

are you talking about the 280pro Elias as the 212pro are a lot better for everyday wearing

The 280s. If I knew they hurt the head after a while I would have gone another model bit after listening to the quality I decided to keep them. I love quality and am very picky when it comes to home entrainment/gaming.

used alot of plantronics over the years and they ALWAYS ended up breaking - even their 'decent' ones with external soundcards

i have 2 sets of razer megalodon at the moment - 1 spare for when the first set brakes - but for me compared to siberia's and plantronics the razer's are already well out infront.

this is for gaming only of course.

hahaha you went from plantronics to razer!?

at least plantronics specialise in headsets, razer gear full stop is generally crap and prone to breaking.

TBH the best headset I've owned was an Exsound Conch, but I can't find anyone who still sells them (only cost $20 too!)

so true man....a friend of mine has a razor keyboard too....looks cheap...aswell as having some issues. and overpriced.

i have heard of the plantronics breaking occasionally.....but for half the price of a turtle beach or Sein.....i can handle that for the few hrs of gameplay i do in a week

i've had the lyocsa keyboard for just on 3-3.5 years and cant fault it so far. apart from the rubber grips wearing on the WSAD. but then again. who needs to look at those letters anyway :thumbsup:

altho i would rather drink toilet water than go over to their headphones.

ugh I thought razer were the tits until I went through two lycosa keyboards, two copperhead mice and currently onto my 2nd deathadder mouse. Deathadder is the comfiest most responsive mouse i've ever used but apart from that will never buy razer again.

+1 to plantronics, had a pair of 777's that lasted me many hours of gaming through uni.

if you want cheap and effective though, go creative fatality - good sound and mic for around $40

I'm using a Logitech G35 and find it awesome for gaming.

and +1 on never buying a Razer again... sent back one mouse under warranty and the 2nd mouse becomes problematic(same problem as the first) shortly after the warranty period expires... it was a Razer Lachesis. Before that I used a Logitech mouse and never had a problem. Now I'm using a Microsoft Explorer 3.0

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
