farking fark fark fark :):D :D ;):rant: :rant:

Got it, and it doesn't farking run properly......freezes every time it tries to load from the disc.....called sony today and they suggested vacuuming it to undust it (it is one of the first ps2s released). s till doesnt farking work and I didnt keep the receipt to either a) get a replacement disc, or B) exchange for a new ps2 / disc deal.

Anyone got a working ps2 they want to sell cheap?

the 'Ring' is to damn long. and the ia license test on it is a bitch.

Just won me a 'Sileighty' woo hoo.

i didn't transfer the 100K over either, spoils the game i reckon. just do the Nissan races and the Jap races they a worth a few hundred K

I have 27 cars. 18 of which i have won. what has everyone else got?

Has anyone finished the GTR streamline test, in driving missions?

anyone else played with B-spec? i like it except they don't always overtake when and how you want them to, but ohh well.

Nuremberg is awesome!! I love the narrowness and the long straights with hills.

I did think the $100k from GT3 did take part of the initial challenge of the start, but $100k really only got me a GTR and did that up to the nine's. It's not really enough to win anything more than the beginner tracks though.

Should have probably gone for something else. Notice how the GTR's braking is very crap? It should have some of the best braking with the Brembo's, but it doesn't :)

You'll need the PS2 Network adaptor for each machine ($70 from David Jones), a 5 ports switch and two CAT5 network cables.

If you get the Network adaptors, you can then also install an IDE hard drive into your machine.

Good Luck

Thanks mate!

So can you use a regular router? I've got a wireless router that's got 4 ports at the back. Is that good enough?

Yeah, the four port router should do it quite fine. Duncan, give Quantronics a call ( www.quantronics.com.au ). Sounds like your laser is on the way out. This is a very common cause and you shouldn't have troubles replacing it.

Oh, and Nurburgring IS INSANE. The first 3 laps i did in it (in stock R32 GTST + exhaust) I was going "This track is nuts!!! every 10 seconds"...

What did you use to plug your ps2 into the pc?  

btw: the burger ring track is amazing!

I'm using the fusion HDTV DVB-t plus tv-tuner. its a high definitiion tv tuner for the pc but it also has a capture card built in. this would set u back bout $210.

a cheaper alternative, but just as effective would be to either just purchase a cature card or (i just saw this a few days ago on the net) a VGA adaptor for the PS2.

the basic advantages of the tv-tuner is that i can record video footage as well as watch tv on my pc.

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
