Which format is the Japanese version 360 console? Mine has Japanese written all over the box and all Jap menus so I assume its the Jap version. (since it was a gift I have no idea where it was originally purchased)

If its NTSC, does that mean it can not play any PAL games sold in Australia?

If thats the case, where can I get it chipped so it could play all formats (ntsc, pal and/or DVD R)?

Cheers

A lot of xbox360 games are not region encoded. So some game will work and some will not. Only DVD movies from the japanese region will work on the console.

Also in the settings there is a menu where you can change it to english.

your correct skylvia.

Collectors editions are always nice if you like extras. Just be wary cos you have a hong kong console lots of games are gonna be in full japanese which could make it difficult for you.

No japan and USA are NTSC, and australia and europe are PAL. France i believe still use SECAM.

But with all this high def shit it doesn't make much difference anyways, it's not really pal or ntsc anymore, cos originialy i think pal had 576 verticle lines compared to 480 on ntsc, but ntsc had a higher refresh rate, but with 720P. 1080i, 1080P etc etc those old standards of broadcasting are out the window.

with XBOX 360 games, I've noticed that Japan and some other Asian countries have NTSC-J while North America has NTSC-C/U. Whats the difference there other than language? Are these different region coding games interchangeable/playable on both console versions?

it's not really pal or ntsc anymore

I guess the restrictions are there just for marketing purpose then?

      Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...

      Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.

      Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents

      I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.

      One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?
