Something for you all to see.

For those who buy things and never open them.

This may be your lucky year.

Unbelievable.

I will honestly buy 5-10 of PAL version one if any store stocks them.

easy money.

well my PAL enthusiasm is waning a bit. I've been crapping on about how good it is to be able to play my aussie PS2 games on the PS3. well I tried it tonight for the first time and it sucks my balls. I played scarface, and it was laggy as f**k. it's like running a cool FPS on your PC with a shit processor, not enough ram and a rubbish graphics card. so it seems this backwards compatibility isn't all it's cracked up to be. I have no idea why it's so poor. The game runs 10 times better on my PS2. Still I'm glad I have the PAL version now to watch DVDs and BDs (when they start encoding them all), but for the money you save (which is now a shitload given the current price of PAL PS3) an OS PS3 is really the way to go now.

This means PS2 will not be tossed in the bin unfortunately :(

maybe I should flog my PAL PS3 since it has original receipt, warranty and all original packaging, cash in then buy a Japan PS3 when I am there next month?

I'll probably get a Jap PS3 once they've got something to brake the barrier of region codes etc.

Jap made, 60GB Version, Cheaper!!!

My ps2 will never be thrown out! even if i don't use it.

cashing in on other's stupidity is always a good thing. consumer electronics NEVER appreciate in the short term... do it! do it!

lol. that would make twice for me with the PS3. I bought one at japanese launch and made a grand off that one! nice.

i run unix on my ps2... works as a great network DVD/HDD share. my old xbox is now my temp media centre until i get around to building a proper home ent. PC

Can someone tell me what the PS3's in Australia include.

Whats it come with if i can get one or what did it come with when you bought it.

Games? Controller? what?

Thanks.

I have a possible source for them now.

check out this one! http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...E:B:WNA:AU:1123

hard core. I wish I had bought a couple when they were still available.

Hmmm.... I really wanted one of these 60GB ones for the PS2 backwards compatibility (as my wife and kids go away for a month later this week!) and have been watching the stupid prices on ebay for them shaking my head. But after reading BB's post it sounds like the backwards compatibility isn't all its cracked up to be and I'm better off hanging onto my PS2 and getting a 40GB one instead (since all I want to do is play games on it).

But as a quick question - can the games available say from ebay from HK be played on the local machines still? They should right since it says region free?

yeah, I've only tried one PS2 game on PS3 (scarface) but it was un-playable. I will try a couple more tonight and let you know, but atm definitely backwards compatibility is not all it's cracked up to be. so keeping the PS2 and buying the cheap PS3 could be a winner. and yes atm all PS3 games are region free afaik.

yeah games are much cheaper in some countries. even at launch last year I bought games in japan or about $45 brand new. not like the farken $110 here.

Talking to david jones dude a few days ago. Mentiond BB's problem and he said the PS3 has only a PS2 EMULATOR or some crap. Wasn't really into it since he didn't have a 60GB there for me.

But thats been resolved and i have about 4-5 coming hopefully.

No matter what a PS2 + PS3 40GB is cheaper than 60GB now.

    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
