  1. i'll whiz the odo on mine if it will make you feel better. 93 model with 60K's, coming up =P
  2. might grace you all with my presence for this one
  3. ghey why not just stick a widebody kit on a GT-t instead of de-AWDing a GT-R having a toyota engine in a Nissan risks tearing a hole in the space time continuum =P
  4. need a passenger side door window for an R34 coupe. pm please cheers
  5. not good if rain was getting inside the engine, but if the compression numbers are up around where they should be, it must have been fairly well protected. how bad is the corrosion on the motor?

    Finance

    *cough* For those that aren't aware, you will have to pay baycorp to show you your credit rating.
  8. Funny how people were willing to pay $140,000 for a grey import R34 with no dealer support though, eh? Let the wankers that need cuppacinos while their cars are serviced buy BMWs and Mercs.
  9. tiny turbos and 3.6L will do that.
  10. I've been married for 25 years. I took a look at my wife one day and said- "Honey, 25 years ago we had a 120Y, a cheap apartment, slept on a sofa-bed, and watched a 10" b&w TV...but every night I got to sleep with a hot 25-year-old blonde!. Now we have an R34 GT-R M-spec, a city penthouse, big expensive bed and a 42" LCD TV- but I'm sleeping with a 50-year-old...It seems you're not holding up your side" Now my wife is a resonable woman. She told me to go out and find a new hot 25-year-old blonde...and she'd make sure that I would once again be driving an old Datto, living in a cruddy apartment, sleeping on a futon....

  11. The Inventor Jake is struggling through a bus station with two huge and obviously heavy suitcases when a stranger walks up to him and asks "Have you got the time?" Jake sighs, puts down the suitcases and glances at his wrist. "It's a quarter to six," he says. "Hey, that's a pretty fancy watch!" exclaims the stranger. Jake brightens a little. "Yeah, it's not bad. Check this out" - and he shows him a time zone display not just for every time zone in the world, but for the 86 largest metropolises. He hits a few buttons and from somewhere on the watch a voice says "The time is eleven 'til six" in a very West Texas accent. A few more buttons and the same voice says something in Japanese. Jake continues "I've put in regional accents for each city". The display is unbelievably high quality and the voice is simply astounding. The stranger is struck dumb with admiration. "That's not all", says Jake. He pushes a few more buttons and a tiny but very high-resolution map of New York City appears on the display. "The flashing dot shows our location by satellite positioning," explains Jake. "View recede ten", Jake says, and the display changes to show eastern New York state. "I want to buy this watch!" says the stranger. "Oh, no, it's not ready for sale yet; I'm still working out the bugs", says the inventor. "But look at this", and he proceeds to demonstrate that the watch is also a very creditable little FM radio receiver with a digital tuner, a sonar device that can measure distances up to 125 meters, a pager with thermal paper printout and, most impressive of all, the capacity for voice recordings of up to 300 standard-size books, "though I only have 32 of my favorites in there so far" says Jake. "I've got to have this watch!", says the stranger. "No, you don't understand; it's not ready -" "I'll give you $1000 for it!" "Oh, no, I've already spent more than -" "I'll give you $5000 for it!" "But it's just not -" "I'll give you $15,000 for it!" And the stranger pulls out a checkbook. Jake stops to think. He's only put about $8500 into materials and development, and with $15,000 he can make another one and have it ready for merchandising in only six months. The stranger frantically finishes writing the check and waves it in front of him. "Here it is, ready to hand to you right here and now. $15,000. Take it or leave it." Jake abruptly makes his decision. "OK", he says, and peels off the watch. They make the exchange and the stranger starts happily away. "Hey, wait a minute", calls Jake after the stranger, who turns around warily. Jake points to the two suitcases he'd been trying to wrestle through the bus station. "Don't forget your batteries!"
  12. Had To Happen
  13. love your work
  14. enjoy http://www.sensis.com.au/search_advanced.d...p;x=36&y=12
  15. only beneficial when the engine is under extreme levels of thermal loading for extended periods, too keep pre-ignition under control. Alan Horsley did this on the RX-7 endurance racers in the 90's (kept fuel in storage tanks in a cool room for chilling before use)
  16. Not in the inner suburbs it wasn't
  17. Sounds good. Should be stinking hot, too
  18. I'll have a crack
  19. Given the power of the graphics engine in the PS3, I wouldn't be surprised if the actual gameplay graphics were that good. Can't wait till one of my friends gets one of these with GT *drools*
  20. I transferred funds electronically
  21. Can't wait till you can get a decent one of these second-hand with GT5 for about $200 *waits...forever
  22. Radio conversation released by the chief of naval operations 10.10.95: Americans: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the north to avoid a collision. Canadians: Recommend you divert YOUR course 15 degrees to the south to avoid a collision Americans: This is the captain of a US Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course. Canadians: No, I say again divert YOUR course. Americans: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS ENTERPRISE, WE ARE A LARGE WARSHIP OF THE US NAVY. DIVERT YOUR COURSE NOW. Canadians: This is a little lighthouse. Your call. This was the transcript of a radio conversation between a US naval ship and Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland.
  23. In both systems, there is no point saying "they draw power" because the net gain is always higher power than the aspirated engine would have. As far as what is the better system for efficiency and power, the turbos win hands down. After overcoming the initial inertia of the rotating assembly low in the rev range and getting into its more efficient operating zones, the turbocharger is exemplary in harnessing what would otherwise be the considerable wasted thermal energy in the exhaust. Consider big trucks for a moment- they need to be as efficient as possible at the required power level....and they all use turbos. Also look at the Horsepower Heros comp- dominated by twin-turbo V8s these days.
  24. *waits for Stan to see thread
