Cheers, anything gotta be better than the average $150 and 2 month wait with Microsoft.

ye.

if its a perma fix he can do, he'll tell ya. If not, he will just give it back no charge :)

He's an old SAU'er from '02-'04 or there abouts.

my ps3 had the flashing light of death.

Put it in the oven for 5 minutes, let it cool down and it worked :D

Some chump at the markets wanted $200 and wouldnt guarantee it would work

(ps3 gets the red flashing light of death because the cpu overheats and detaches from the motherboard. Putting it into the oven remelts the solder and bridges the connection)

Well have a look and advise

Will make decision tomorrow

I approve this skin.

Never had a problem with my PS3. You mad xbox?

Bike update, bought a sick helmet today, gloves too. Just finished re-fitting the stock pipe and aids fender (should be illegal due to hideousness), went ghetto on the fender but should pass the roady tomorrow, then it's straight off

Putting a Ps3 in an oven. Who woulda thought..

Xbox has the same problem, CPU and GPU heatsinks don't stay clamped down enough and vibrations + heat make the components seperate from the motherboard over time. You can also fix an Xbox by putting it in the oven, but it doesn't always work and you can easily damage the other components on the MB. It fixed my mate's Xbox, though afterwards, his Xbox would occasionally freeze with intense graphic gameplay. Ash's mate reckons $85 but not guaranteed to fix...they use a rework station though which is much safer than ye olde oven lol.

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
