funk meister, you are right because i overlooked the race/rally concessions. but. Would you like to be the first to bring the car down here and watch it get smashed to bits in front of you all in the name of safety? lol, its not like the car wasnt safe in the first place. Makes me LOFL thinking how many shitboxes are on Aussie roads and there the government is trying to prove beyond doubt that the gtr isnt safe for aussie roads and if by some fluke, it is...well then, the gtr is a damned lucky machine then isnt it? Let me rephrase my point. . There are TWO ways of getting the GTR faster than anyone else and going through SEVS is NOT one of them. you claim that its the easiest way. Would you care to clarify this for me Munkster? Id love to hear why you think so. Lucky for me, im here in Japan... i know they cant stop me if i have all he documents of ownership after a year in 2008.

That was a great post Munkey..thanx heaps. I had to work today and had an offer from a website to go but i couldnt... ill be going with the plebs to see it this weekend though!

The ONLY way you can get one prior to the delivery of Aussie vehicles is to come over here, stay for a year and take the car back with you as a personal import. lol, i might have one into the country before anyone in Oz does! That would be sweet.

this may or may not be a repost but it was on tv very recently. Enjoy. http://dailycarclips.com/index.php?link=nissan-gtr

LOL, yeah that was the impression i got watching the footage...it really looked like he was using the controller..not the wheel in the cockpit.. noob maneuver of the year!.. and thats coming from ME of all people!

are you actually...complementing something i have done Ct??!! tell me it aint so//pinch me im dreaming!

hey! maybe ill be famous like the dude who sent in that video of vettel smashing webber in Japan! should i send it in? think i will right now...

lol! yeah, at the Tokyo motor show!

And here is the undeniable proof.. lewie, what were you thinking!!?? This isnt Playstation!!! LOOK FOR THE LEFT THUMB!

Mike, looks like the tables have turned..you beat me to this one like i did to you recently... Guys, i have the onboards and ive played it again and again and again... It was his fault. His LEFT Thumb slipped off the steering wheel like he was pushing a button on his PS3 controller and then he was frantically reaching for gears with his right hand fingers a split second later, losing driv all the time. It was his fault!! Lewie, why did you have to throw it all away! You had not one but TWO bloody bites at the cherry, a situation almost no other driver has EVER had and you messed it up!! #crying into dinner...# Im going to put this video into imovie and download a shot of EXACTLY when he did what i KNOW he did that McLaren is strenuously denying...

ひひじじ, is worse, trust me...

Ok streeter, youre taking this way too personally and i dont like the direction this conversation is heading. If you want to misinterpret what im saying, go right ahead. This conversation isnt going to go anywhere if you bear a personal grudge and start becoming antagonistic. You think im talking specifically about aussies but im not. being a teacher at its basic form is being a figure of respect, being upstanding. Why ruin your reputation as a teacher and a trustworthy individual over drunken rampage. I also dont want to engage in the "ive been here longer than you" discussions. Its childish. If you want to talk about this, lets. We are both here and im sure we are experiencing the same things. Ive never said my blah blah's better than your blah blah. Perhaps your response spoke out of knowing within yourself that you know you arent like the story i told in the last post and going by that, its a good thing, dont you think? Word travelling fast? It sure does. Good news travels at the speed of a snail, bad news travels much faster. You dont need to justify yourself to me, streeter. There are those out there that should take a good hard look at a) what they are doing here b) why they are doing it and c) how it benefits OTHERS before themselves Sure, i like women, fast cars and money but we both know Japan is an ocean deeper than that. Im sure you understand this. Unfortunately, others dont give a shit. thats the truth and it bolis my blood. You want to talk about Hiroshima and Nagasaki? Dont get me started. Have you been there? I have, i felt the sorrow and i cried. call me a poof. Its your perogative. Maybe i care more. Who knows. maybe you do...

Ill give you a case in point. A person from Adelaide, same place as me, lives in the same town as i do. We were in the same pub one night when Australia was playing japan in the world cup. Japan lost, 3 - 1. I am friends with everyone in that bar. its my local watering hole. Id never seen this guy in there before. He proceeded to get up after the win and signal with his fingers...YEAAAH! Australia 3..Japan 1!!!! i dont need to tell you which finger he pointed. One of the locals at the bar is a bloke we call Fuji san. I also dont need to tell you why we call him that. He got up and i could see something starting. the mood was palpable. I stepped in and diffused the situation, thankfully, Fuji listened to me. I spoke to the guy and told him what an idiot he was to act like that. i was quite within my rights to do so. the fact that he was from the same damned city as me stung even more. In spite of this no one in the bar holds a grudge against me but if i hadnt done anything, well who knows... yeah man..im the hero blah blah blah. But more importantly i was ashamed and humiliated. I felt the heavy need to apologize for this guys reaction. Some in the bar were looking at me knowing i was aussie too and wondering what i was going to do about this. That guys behaviour directly translated to me. We never saw the guy in the bar after that although i have seen him since outside..we avoid each other and thats fine with me. I dont need a guy like that around me. I dont need people around me that are going to embarrass me. Does this register or do you think im spouting nonsense again? That was a very real situation and way too close to my heart and home. would you like to hear another story?

its nice to have that on the keitai...i dont know where id be without it to be completely honest...

thats a very insensitive remark. Ron Dennis is like a second father to LH. I dont think any driver i can think of has ever had this paternal situation to guide them through their careers. You can be sure of one thing...RD is never going to send LH down the river and LH is never going to betray RD. i think is a marvelous thing. That picture was touching. i liked it.

just to clear this up, i was not implying that people who work at NOVA cant teach and should leave. Unfortunately, that company has sucked the life out of many a good teacher and the leaches just keep asking for more. There are some in the industry that only come here to get what they can out of the country ( cars, women, sex and money)...its always take, take, take. never give, give, give. Thats one of MY pet hates. Putting in hours at the eikaiwa dos NOT count. What you do outside DOES. I have no time for people like that, Its selfish, degrading and if that person happens to be aussie, personally humiliating. I take great care to make sure the Japanese i meet have a high opinion of me otherwise it can effect much more than myself. Im much more restrained and conservative than i used to be. The japanese take a group mentality approach. Things are always done for the sake of the group. If One aussie is out there making a complete ass of himself, its going to reflect badly on aussies in general. unfortunately, some on this site have been kind enough to ruin opportunities i had and lost because of this selfish, all for me attitude. If youre going to be like that, i dont need to know you. Please do the right thing and represent yourselves well if you live here. Unfortunately for me, others who dont even know me are of the opinion that they do and thats bullshit to be honest.

im a little sad that LH couldnt do it this year...that wouldve been the icing on the cake. Its consolation that Kimi won this year, hes been fighting for this for year and finally he has broken the duck and good on him, im sure he'll be partying for days on end. Watch out for a new KR next season. As for ferrari winning bith titles though, as a manufacturer im a little angered by it. Maclaren has had every possible bloody obstacle thrown in their way and for them to lose out by one point must have torn their hearts out... anyone want to suggest that gearbox glitch was actually a deliberate incident or an act of God? i have the strangest suspicion it was intended to happen...why i have no idea but ive never seen that happen to a driver this year.. If i am completely honest, LH threw the championship away in China...he would be pretty stoic to not think about that from time to time. And just for the record, all you haters bashing on LH, grow up. it sickening to see grown men acting like 10 year olds.

i think we can all be satisfied with the outcome. After the season we have had, Kimi came from nowhere to take the title! Who would really have believed that would happen? it was the remotest of possibilities... The iceman cometh! but... this fuel situation has me very confused.. what if BMW and Williams are disqualified??

Go Lewie! Ill be rooting for you in my sleep! i know when i wake up you will have the cup in your hands!

considering the Japanese yen and Aussie dollar are virtually neck and neck at the moment, going from ¥8,000,000 yen which its supposed to be priced, to $120~150,000 is quite a big bloody jump. private import investors anyone?

when do you actually get to Japan, Russ? you have some time for shopping and sightseeing im sure? its not all track work is it?

you want to see quali roy? im hookin it up right now...

this is absolutely hilarious! guess which country made the video... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vINtUt2hV90

hey Marco, i guess you werent watchin F1 live! Massa on pole but hes running hella light. No doubt to cover KR's ass...but... Lewie's in second!! stick that in your pipe you italian grid mafioso! KR's in third and no doubt relishing an ass ramming from a hungry dirty sanchez who could only manage P4.. so... dirty sanchez, mate...how many tracks is it now where a ROOKIE... has outqualified you - in the SAME machine - in his FIRST SEASON at a track he has NEVER been on before during the CLIMAX of the 2007 season??? How can the fair play szar( or is that DIRTY SANCHEZ szar ) help your sorry filthy backside out of this one? Wow...you soiled your pants?? right well you would! WEBBO!!! in 5th?? that a boy, show the scotsman how lucky he was last round to have out qualified you... If mark can actually get a DECENT start off the line this time, he may well end up with a few points!

this isnt a euro car forum, mate. Whether or not the "rich" among any of us decide to buy the GTR, is irrelevant. This discussion is about how good the GTR is.
