Hi guys,

I played gt5 for the first time last weekend and i loved it! looking to get a ps3 of my own. Does anyone have any hook ups or know where the best bargains to be had are? Im located in the liverpool area, but dont mind driving around sydney to get it.

thanks!

i hate myself for pimping EB. deadspace2 and gt5 + 320gb ps3 for 600, make sure you get a hdmi cable (any brand, can be cheap, they still work)

there's one at jbhifi

guaranteed you'll throw out FF13 cause it's poo and ashes... if you're into cricket...? if not, meh. they have a cable with it but they're a negligible cost.

You won't find PS3's cheep, no one discounts them - unless your buying 2nd hand. Just look for the best package deal. I think I bought our 1st one with $2 off.. came with 2 games for like $479 and the 2nd one I bought with a 32 lcd bravia for 1100.

Not necessarily - if you can afford a decent HDMI cable, go for it. Regardless, make sure it's properly insulated, especially if you'll be running it next to power cables or if it's gotta stretch a long way.

I took my PS3 out with me a few weeks ago, and luckily brought 2 HDMI cables with me - the first one would barely work, and when it did produce a picture it had heaps of interference. Plugged in the second one, and problems solved!

    • TBH, it sounds like the threads on the bolt are fubar in a specific section. Most likely as you've been working it back and forth it has torn threads out, as you loosen the bolt, this section enters the nut, now you're spinning a round shaft inside the nut, there's no threads here.   Use something similar to a claw on a hammer that will fit either side of the bolt head and try to apply downward force while also undoing it. The idea is to attempt to catch a thread, or just rip the f**ker out. Caution on ripping out, as it could bend/maime/mangle what the captive nut attaches to. If the captive nut is actually okay, you could do the dirty part of cutting the head off the bolt, then cut a slit in the end of the thread that's now exposed and then screw it up and into the area the captive nut is until it falls out the other side. However, this does risk the remainder of the bolt rusting over time and damaging near the captive nut and also making it rust. However, so can cutting pieces of panel work out to access this area if you don't reseal it properly.
    • Well, every piece of information on that part when you track it back to Nitto says it's for a KIT of theirs. It is also designed thicker to be stronger. And they speak about a specific harmonic balancer bolt they supply for the whole setup.
    • Techniques for removing stuck bolts are: hitting the bolt head with a hammer, heating the bolt to red hot then letting it cool and working it back and forth like you are already doing. AFAIK the idea is to try to crush whatever material is stuck between the threads (and heat also melts locktite but that's almost certainly not relevant in this case).
    • Yuh, I think it works with the Nitto gear only. I presume that you're not also using the Nitto gear? Watch the video. Compare the interface between the Nitto gear and washer (on the gear side) vs the stocker and decide if you think the Nitto gear is different from stock there.
