FVKA#@$@# I am pissed off! I tried to buy another PS3 this weekend (60gb) and can't farkin find one anywhere. this is bullshit.

for $959 you got:

4usb ports

card readers

PS2 compatibility

extra controller ($80)

2 games ($90 each)

60gb hd

now for $700 you get

2 usb ports

no card reader

no ps3 compatibility

no extra controller

no games

40gb HD

is that worth the $260 saving? no fking way. the games and controller are worth the $260 straight away. Then add PS2 compatibility, bigger HD and card reader and you realise what good value the 60gb PS3 was.

so the question goes out, does anyone know a store that has a 60gb PS3 in stock?!?! please help!!!

I didnt realise the 60gb model was so rare. Im glad I have mine. Not a bad deal when you add up what you actually get out of it. Ill check over at EB today on my lunch break and see if they have any in stock.

Went over at lunch and they didnt have any in stock either....

dual shock controller will be kick ass. it's a shame they didn't have one from the begining. question though, will current games be compatible with it?

When it first came out, sony lost the contract with rumble pack or something. Thats why it didn't have it.

The myers dude told me when ps3 came out. Cause i was like :S lite control!

yeah not many on ebay, if you can find one in a store (which I doubt) they are $999. recently they were $959 inc 2 games and an extra controller. that was the time to buy, but sadly those days are over, and it seems that we will be without the 60gb model for a while to come.

is there any issues with buying an 80gig HK version?

any solid info on whether there is any issues with playing games or online?

there's some on ebay for about $720 delivered with extra controller and game and they are saying 2days delivery also.

the only problem with buying an OS model is:

can't play aussie dvds and most likely BDs in the future

can't play aussie ps2 games

that's about it.

no problem (for now) playing aussie PS3 games. and no problem using it on-line either.

Anyone got their player there?

Just curious where PS3 are being made these days.

China?

or Japan?

My ps2. First model out, got it for about 1099, extra controller + 2 games lol.

So long ago.

Made in Japan, was gonna switch slimline but china.

So no point.

most PS3 are made in china. pretty much only the japanese retailed ones are made in japan. I bought mine in november last year in japan and it was made in japan, but the aussie ones are made in china.

yes, I still have my first gen PS2 too, made in china cost me $900 back in the day! ouch!

The myers dude told me when ps3 came out. Cause i was like :S lite control!

It was dropped because sony were too pig headed to pay immersion for use of rumble technology.

But sony's official spin was that the six-axis wouldn't function with rumble at the same time, and that rumble was a "last gen" feature.

Now they have 180'd and are releasing the dual shock 3.

i bought mine from japan cost me like $900 inc shipping (also inc 2 games), atm blue-ray dvd are region free.

works good for me though cuz i can finally play all my option videos and stuff :nyaanyaa:

My 60g is sitting pretty :nyaanyaa:

Anyone in aus able to change over the HDD yet, not that i need it but it would be good to know

2 ways to change the HDD, one buy a laptop HDD and its a direct swap to the one in the ps3 or else you can buy a cable which allows you to use a normal HDD

    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
