The R32 had high expectations before it was released, there was no secrecy about the fact that it would inherit the ATTESA of the bluebird which came out well beforehand, and a strengthened larger capacity RB engine from the R31/Z31/cefiro. It delivered. What I meant in my sweeping statement (and I make a lot of those ) is that the GT-R used to be a purpose built car for winning races. It was the thoroughbred of the Skyline stable. This new GT-R just seems so emotionless. Its been built to capitalise on the following of the old GT-R, the history and the tradition... look at the demographic that's buying them... they're not people who are deciding between a Porche or an R8, they're ex GTR owners, or people who have heard about and wanted this "GTR" but have never been able to own one because it didn't meet their countries standards (talking about the US). If you're going to sever the link with the Skyline family, why call it a GT-R? why not call it the 380Z? After all, that is Nissan's longest standing globally available sports model. Don't get me wrong, I'd hit it. Its a marvellous car, any car that can stick it to Porshe and the Z06 etc for that price is an awesome car... I just don't like the mentality behind it.

would be interested to see what the 100,000km service sticker on the cam cover says. and is that red carpet?

2 piece or 1?

are those 18's or 17's? spoke to the edge of the rim makes it look big.

as if... the number of times goshn backflipped about no more GTR's... cost cutting and uniting Z chassis and R chassis into one line.

THAT was what we were waiting on? i should just ban you for wasting our time.

give me a month and i'll post up pics of my car in matte black there's a dude in canada who did his in matte black... looks tough as, but he's changed it back to gloss now. apparently matte's really hard to keep clean, esp if you get oil stains on it.

Shhhh! the yanks are gonna be buying it by the bucketload cos they finally get a GTR. never underestimate the power of the common idiot. back in the day the GT-R was made to represent nissan's foray into the racing world... this one's just a money grabbing exercise.

gah... looks like you already figured it out

hmm just got the IPS error at 12... jumped on the server and it was some indexer service for sphinx_ipb? does that make sense Prankeh?

dunno if this would help, but I've got the R34 alignment measurements that we use when jigging up and repairing accident damaged R34's. Might help your bodyshop guys as far as getting the lines and distances truer to a real R34, without having an actual R34 there to go off.

yesum... well kinda... i look after the IT side of things for em.

I've got one kicking around. you can borrow it if you want, or buy it...

a 5c piece opened AND started my old Mitsubishi Colt

would kinda round it out with their F1 goals. http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/30102006/13/...er-f1-team.html

lol the tv tuner comes with a free audio cable... its more plug n play i guess. and you get a free remote n it makes you able to watch tv on your PC... for $1 more they're both made by leadtek btw. http://www.leadtek.com.tw/eng/tv_tuner/ove...p;pronameid=136 http://www.leadtek.com.tw/eng/tv_tuner/ove...mp;pronameid=96

yeah i got my key code, will give em a call. djr81, the code should be on the inside of your key barrel as well, in case its not on your key, its in the format XNNNN where the N's can be anything from 0001 to 8000. not really confidence inspiring knowing that one in 8000 keys can open your car.

hook it up to the line in of your sound card? get an RCA female to 3.5mm adapters from jaycar on springvale rd/princes cnr.

ah whoops... yeah i meant the speedo drive gear

we sold one a lil while back for a similar amount... seems to be the going rate these days http://www.j-spec.com.au/list/7965

haha in VIC atm, dandenong

dodgy subaru drivers...

most of em do... actually... just did a search... WinFast VC100 XP... takes S Video and Composite, $38 from MSY off Wellington Rd (www.msy.com.au) or you can get a Leadtek TV2000-RM for $39, which includes a TV tuner.

lol you just cut pretty much everyone i could have thought of off the list. so is there a list of key cutters who can do code cuts somewhere?

you want a Xploder VGA Adaptor for PS2... PS2 only goes up to 640x480 though, so its a big waste of time and money. you'd be better off buying a cheap tv tuner/video in card (or check if your video card for VIVO... video in video out) and hook it up thru that.
