Interesting result from setting my desktop picture as that photo - everyone who walks past my desk at work says something to the effect of "Wooah, what the f**k is that!? "

+1 Matte black aston very James Bond!

Here's some wallpaper resolutions: 1024x768: 1280x768 1920x1200

Russ if you dont mind, skc can send the full res to me and I'll be happy to resize it down to custom wallpaper sizes for anyone.

I've seen that before... dude arrives in the chopper, drives his similarly expensive car around, and then jumps back in an flies home. The car must be brought by a lackey on the back of a truck or something..? Haha

Who was the cheap bugger who caught the bus to the track??

Wow thanks for that.. For the record that was a completely useless post.

Me vs God = win.

damn.. shit situation man take it to your workshop and get them to take alook at it rather than potentially doing more damage. once you've sorted the electrics as joe suggested any further noise could be fatal

5.3sec in a falcon is not particularly easy to do though unless someone uses the ZF Launch control, or is a very good peddler!

Holy shit mate... You're a dead ringer!

Yeah any Yokohama tyre is going to be better than Nankangs... Nankang are extremely cheap, hard, generic tyres. I wouldnt put them on a skyline personally.. hehe. Sorry mate, I missed the part in your original post that said you wanted "performance tyres"... In that case, try Falken FK-452. Tempe do them quite cheap, and they are a pretty good tyre IMO

Wow.. Altavista still exists!? Have you got something against google?

doh

Tempe Tyres is about as cheap as you can get if you're talking about low-end tyres.. You could easily get a set of Nankangs there in that size for under $2000. Dont expect good service though.

If you think Sydney is crowded, try going to Japan... or just about any other Asian country for that matter... If you think Sydney is agro, try going to New York or LA... You think the cost of living is f**ked in Sydney? Try going to Moscow, Tokyo, London, Hong Kong, Geneva, Zurich, Milan, Paris... We've actually got it pretty good here.. you're just a whinger!

I'll put in a donkey vote and say Groundhogday... I dont really care, i'll be in regardless

Good on you for stopping to see if he was ok

Someone has hacked this dudes account and is posting on his behalf... Admins, can you shut it down please.

A great way to combat that pesky sluggish period below 3000rpm is to rev the car to 4-5000rpm and dump the clutch On a more serious note.. Definition of "Turbo Lag": Within a turbocharger's operating range (ie. in your case about 3000-7000rpm), lag is the delay between the instant a car's accelerator is depressed and the time the turbocharged engine develops a large fraction of the power available at that point in the engine's power curve. Below 3000rpm the engine doesnt flow enough exhaust gas to spin the turbine fast enough to make boost. So what you're experiencing isnt actually "turbo lag" by definition

lol.. very good, very good.

Spotted Guilt-Toy a couple of times in the last couple of weeks driving through Eastwood Ohai! So thats what the back of my car looks like! Shows how long it's been since i've checked this thread

About 3000rpm sounds about right for a stock GTR to come on boost..

Agreed.. follow finlands lead, and train kids from a very young age, and teach compulsory advanced defensive driving
