i'll kick your ass in top spin:P

a heap of mates get together and connect up to xbox live. they all play those tom clancy games, really annoying when they play xbox instead of drinking and tuning the women.

but on the other hand it is good having 5 xboxs and 5 tvs connected through a hub playing multiplayer.

Just wait til my brother gets an xbox for his birthday.. I've been using my mates, which is chipped anyways.. (have they made a mod chip that still lets you play online yet)

Damn those risk shots eh .. haha its just too tempting sometimes.

its not the mod chip that stops you playing on line, its the bios your using - you can't play copied games with an original bios and you can't play xbox live with a non-original bios

i dont use a mod chips in the xboxs i mod - i just flash the tsop, safer, cheaper and easier

xbconnect and xlink are free programs that tunnel hte data from system link (not xbox live) between 2 computers over the net

dave - chips can come loose / dodgy soldering jobs / cause trouble

tsops, once flashed can't go wrong...

the only risk is in actually flashing them if you don't know what your doing - you can end up with a dead xbox... but once flashed there is no solder/wires/chip to come loose etc...

:)

the tsop is basically the bios for the xbox - all a modchip is, is a bios you put in instead of the microsoft one... and flash it with a custom/hacked one etc...

under the impression tho once you have flashed your xbos bios, theres no going back... at least with mod chip you can remove old ones etc.. also the benefit of being able to turn off if you do wish to play xbox live.. although there r rumours that microsoft can now detect even if off- but i have never had a problem.

Dave - you can just flash the original bios back to the TSOP if you like

but yeah if you want to play xbox live then there is a lot of stuffing around, installing a switch for the chip, installing different bioses on the chip so you can boot of an orig bios, making sur eyour hard drive is locked, making sure you have a MS dashboard installed and running, installing all other stuff on F drive not on C/E etc...

plus to play live you have to pay a montly fee and buy the original game...

blah - just use xbconnect / xlink :)

      R-chassis INNER tie rod torque spec?

      By hardsteppa · Posted

      Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.

      gauge needle removal

      By JC71 · Posted

      I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.

      Ok...its taking me long enough to finally do this.  Feck financial security...heart disease will get me soon enough anyway So welcome to the garage..."Clem" Belsil80 has been running a 370Z in Super TT series. So after entering with him in last years Winton 300 i figured I  need my own car. Seems SAU Vic race cars need to be yellow....{tick} Reckon with enough motor i will be able to make up for the lack of talent and stay ahead of the 370Z... but the LS powered S13 and E36s are a ways up the road Aim is to have a car that doesnt stop or turn but has a bit of shed built motor with jam...maybe some cream  First step is getting this ex drift car log booked I am keeping faithful silver car. As the road-club car gets upgrades the race car wil get the sloppy seconds

      Assuming that they will come off without damage at all.... i would have thought just pull straight up off the spindle with a something or other than can reach underneath. Have you searched for youtube vids of people doing similar on R34s or any other Nissan from the same vintage? They should be the same technique, in all likelihhood.

      Wheel refurb?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Keeping in mind that sandblasting is really aggressive on softer metals like cast alloy, and you can do damage that you might regret. For trash wheels, not a problem. For wheels with value/scarcity issues, etc.... perhaps a less aggressive media is a better choice?
