Well, It's going to take up a bit of space in here but anyway:

I re-did the thermal compound for the second time the other day (with better quality stuff this time) and put it all back together. Started the PS3 up, all good. Downloaded some DLC, all good this took about an hour or so? Then I shut the PS3 down and went out for dinner. Came back, fired it up, played F1 2013 for a little bit with the controller just mucking around, no problems. Played a bit of GTA 5 for a while, no problems. Paused the game walked off, the thing shut down, blinking red light.

It's the same now as it was before. I started the thing up the other day to see if it would let me play F1 2013 for long enough with my wheel, Got just past the main menu to start a race, shutdown, flashing red light. Tried again, got sorta into the race then shut down.

But its weird, sometimes I go to play COD Black ops 2 (mine goes straight to multiplayer menu), and when it connects to online servers the thing shuts down. But if I can get past this, it seems I can happily play that online for as long as I want. I had about 5 games the other night without an issue. then the next day it will do the same thing (turn itself off and flash red light)

thought it might have been a wireless issue, but plugged the thing in and still did it. It will sit at the XMB menu forever without an issue (AFAIK anyway) its only when I start trying to play games it has a problem

I think it might be hard drive, but I'm pretty slack to buy another hard drive and then have it not be the problem

I bought the ps3 when it first came out, the 60gig that is backwards compatible. died about two years ago, with the flashing red light. bought another since that I use in the media room.

ps4 recently died and had it replaced for free by playstation. Did a bit of reading on Australian consumer laws before I gave them the call, just in case I had any issues etc. Based on what I learned from that, I also gave them a call last week about my ps3 that died. The initial consultant told me that they do an exchange for $175. Told him that according to Australian consumer law, that even though the item is out of warranty, if it does suffer a major malfunction within what is considered a reasonable lifetime of the item, they are still required to make an attempt to replace it, if available, or to make other arrangements if no replacements are available.

Got informed that he would have to get a supervisor to give me a call.

Supervisor called the next day, and left a message as I couldn't take the call. No arguments nothing, just left me a message saying that they will replace my seven year old playstation, I just had to provide proof of purchase.

Long story short for those not wanting to read the lot above, sony will still replace failed ps3's, as long as you speak to a supervisor, state Australian consumer law and have proof of purchase.

bit late for me, I bought a PS3 500gb with Assasins Creed: Black Flag and The last of us in a pack for $290

good price at least, but free would have been better. Maybe I can get the 2 that I have laying around replaced :)

On the topic of wheels, does anyone know if the older wheels work? I have a Driving Force Pro GT and hoping it will work on the PS4. Forgot to test it out on Need for Speed before I sold it

anybody played any decent 4 player games on ps4? low budget is fine.

I played a lot of supersonic acrobatic rocket powered battle cars on ps3, and am looking for similar, low budget types of games to play with mates. haven't come across similar on ps4 yet.

I'm not familiar with that game title :P

I have no car games at the present. I actually just started playing The Last of Us on PS3, because I got it free. Kinda want to get it on PS4, but why pay for something I already have I figure. Good game but

What games were like 'Twisted Metal' style on PS3? I'm having trouble thinking of any at the moment

Apparently towerfall is supposed to be great with friends.

I've been reading a fair bit about the wheels for PS4, i currently have a G27 which will not work on PS4 as the G27 has a chip reader in it that makes it incompatible with the PS4, have read that Sony did not pay Logitech for the wheels to be compatible apparently =\ as i use the G27 for sim games on PC as well, i'm not willing to fork out $600+ for the wheel compatible for PS4 and PC so i might consider getting a cheap wheel for PS4 =\ there is a petition for people to sign so they can make G27 compatible for PS4, but i doubt that would be going anywhere even if they get the numbers they wanted.

Driveclub out now, anyone picked it up? Think I might go buy it tomorrow, even though I'm not real sure what to expect

It's fun but the servers are rooted at the moment. Also the good shit like weather and replays aren't even released yet which is f**king stupid. if you have PS+ you can get a demo of it.

Ended up buying it. Has been fairly fun so far, but the servers seem to be up now

Just need to convince some friends to go online and play it now. Not alot bother with online on PlayStation anymore

    • Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads  
    • Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything 
    • Hmmm interesting. Mine is the exact same and clearly the right one.  The mystery of the engine oil being full after 3.5-4L continues
