  1. bro.......have a look through the tradingpost

    If i were you id prefer an r33 gtst. Simply because, looking through the trader, you can get a series 1.5-2 (around 95-97 model) skyline for around $16k. Its good value for money especially in terms of age. They also contain at least driver side airbags. Although, dont expect the r33 to be that quick, in terms of performance I believe the s14 is quickest but lacks comfort and room.

    Good luck

  2. Congrats man!!

    Your really lucky the car was used for driving purposes otherwise you would have been returned with half a car. And to get away with those three minor things, thank your lucky stars

  3. I know its a pessamistic approach, but seriously it is simply a waste of time contesting the new regulations. I am sympathetic to various people who will be out of employment and whos businesses are in jeapordy. But there is no longer such thing as people power. You can barely contest a parking infringement even if your claim is ligitimate, how in the world are you going to overturn the governments decision?

  4. I cant stand Max...I cant wait for GPWC. Only problem is the GP wont be in melbourne anymore as Ron Walker has already stated that we wont be involved with gpwc

    I pretty much guarantee there will be no GPWC breakaway. Ferarri just signed with Eccelstone for a further 10 yrs. The rest of the teams would most likely follow suit.

    Im a massive fan of Ferrari but they are starting to piss me off. All teams except Ferarri have permitted Minardi to use their 2004 car. It looks as though they wont be able to race until the 3rd or 4th GP (with their 2005 spec) unless the vote is unanimous. Its stupid since they would still be WAY off the pace even with the new regulations.

  5. Its not confirmed but I reckon hes back for sure.

    In my opinion Red Bull have no other option. They obviously need experience to provide credible feedback to engineers and they need a driver that is reliable and reasonably quick.

    Speculation has it that RB will opt for 1 full time driver and two part-timers that will alternate through the course of the season. Obvously DC would be the preferred full time driver. I think its a pretty good idea.

  6. Jerez - 10/12/04

    2. Nick Heidfeld - Williams BMW - 1'16"786 - 64 laps

    6. Antonio Pizzonia - Williams BMW - 1'17"097 - 145 laps

    Funny thing about these times is that Heidfeld completed less than half the laps Pizzonia did due to technical failure. Piz must have been humiliated irrespective of the testing programs scheduled for both. lol hes got no hope now!

  7. I had big hopes for Jaques too. But the last 3 races for Renault were not too impresive compared to Fernando. Hopefully he just needs time to adapt. I think the conditions on the track for todays testing were fairly damp, so i dont think those times a really indicitive of the fields true performance. eg Schuey Jnr was 4 seconds off the pace

  8. hehe to be honest, i despise Pizzonia because of the comments he made about Webber and Jaguar Racing, accusing them of treating him like "shit". Williams will also probably consider that he could not remotely match the pace of Webber when was with Jag.

  9. I heard Jordon's getting some big investors from China, since it was such a success in Shanghai.

    As for the spare seat at Williams, I reckon Mika would be great for the seat. He's the only driver aside from Schui, that won't complain and actually be really competitive all year round even if he doesnt have the pace. But since he's ruled out, DC or Heidfeld will get a go. I think Frank's going for experience which is why they wont want Davidson.

    I would like DC to get the seat but to be honest he's not a World Champ. Reminds me of Ervine, the're only good for a supporting role. He no where near matched the pace of Raikkonen this year and has struggled with Hakkinen in the past. We'll just have to see how it unfolds!

  10. chris i strongly advise u not to take the skyline....ull basically be starting ur test on the wrong note.....take a 1 hour lesson and use that car for the test.

    I did my test in Sydney and they were really stringent (ie ride clutch slighlty and you fail), although maybe thats cuz i got my p's when I was 17, nevertheless the key thing to remember for me was to change the gear BEFORE you make the turn.....eg ur going 60k's on fourth gear and approaching a left turn, slow down and change into second before you make the turn

    good luck man, hopefully we'll cruz soon!

  11. I like the Exterior of a supra when it has a aftermarket bodykit, stock looks shit as. As for the Interior, damn a 1980's car has a nicer interior, dont know just sat inside a supra and didnt like it. You feel like your sitting in an old car...

    Couldn't disagree with you more.

    im thinking u feel sour coz u sat in the passenger seat and didn't get to see any of the cluster or dials coz it wraps around the driver

    I'm with coco on this one, you must have been sitting on the passanger side.

    Even though I like the r33 interior fo its simplicity, I find its a little too placid. The supra is much more detailed and unique with lower seating position. You really feel your in a sports car unlike r33's.

    Nevertheless, as lwells said, you really can't make a comparison with these two cars. You should be considering a gtr too. Good luck mate

  12. i recently sold my r33 for a tt 6spd supra and its a whole new ball game....believe me!!

    i really have respect for the r33 and believe its the best bang for your buck spending less than $20k, but the supra absolutely annihilates a gtst in all aspects. Interior, exterior, handling and performance wise. The mechanical grip is really really noticeable and you feel in control of the car at all times round corners.

  13. stock supra's maintain almost the same kw as mentioned in your avatar, yet I have a few mods!

    in the end we all know, irrespective of rwkw, it comes down to driving capabilities, so ill win on both accounts loll

    so did you got ur p's yet chris?
