lol, I think you all had a sarcasm meter failure on dodgybrooks post.

yeah you'll be able to get one tomorrow merli, or tonight for pre-orders.

lol for sure. I will be holed up on the couch for the forseeable future.

soooo have you got it and playing it on your PS3 or are you just posting crap? anyway that is about to become irelevant. I'm picking up mine tonight.

good to see you out there Jeff having a little peak at the competition, but I did notice you weren't looking too worried. hehe I'm sure you have somthing special in store for daves car even though you like to play it down a bit. I'm also glad you gave in and signed up. The more people on here for a little wind up and some trash talking the better I say! Matty mate, you did very well. even better considering it was your first crack at Oran Park and not many people there to really give you much meaningful help. The last thing you need is more power, it just makes it too hard to the rest of us! Mark and Russ's trailer is nicer than my house. at least if things ever get rough at home russ you will have a nice place too stay!

webber is the man! nice solid boring race for 5th. my mate kubbie put in a solid one too. and of course kimi smashed them. I can't see anyone but kimi being WDC this year boys.

so how is it? I thought you had xbox but not PS3? anyway, I just got a call from EB, picking my copy up on Monday. Schweet!

Top day out boys. Everyone was doing well. Mark dipped into the f**king 13s!!! and Russ was not far off either in the 14s! both times are simply amazing considering they have never been there before and were on old tyres. Plus the track was still not completely dry with puddles in some of the braking zones. Matts 32 was very, very nice and he was quick too. I timed him in the 17s but it's possible he was even quicker than that as I only did a few laps timing him. Johnny was looking sharp as always and was moving his little hairdresser mobile along nicely, though I don't think he got many clean laps. bozzman was a no show as I heard he was scared to put the GT2 up against my S13 silvia. no shame in that really as I am a pretty handy steerer. and yes Johnny used 'the button' on the straight but still couldn't keep russ in the GTR behind him. I would say johnnys car is currently in for some more horse power! Top day all round and both Mark and Russ and Matts 32 will be near the pointy end for sure. Plenty of curious new south welshmen were there too to suss out the competition, and Jeff seemed quietly confident that his 32 with lofty behind the wheel will be up there, and GTR jason didn't look scared either, but I know both were impressed with the work Mark and Russ have done with their 32 and they can both steer too. bring on July!

yep, the first thing I would do is double check all the piping from turbos to cooler and from cooler to plenum.

lol, this thread took a turn for the interesting. even if it is genuine (it sure does have a lot of plates to support that), since it's now quite modded, it's now a bit of a bitsa spec which would reduce it's collectibility. I must say I did notice some of the build plates say 95/1 and some say 93/12.

it's a cool car. bit strange, but cool none the less. the only advice I'd have is that all the modifications done to it would definitely diminish it's value as a collectible. some of the claims seem a bit out there too. like GTR gearset? it's the same as a GTST gearset why would they do that? and with the 4.4:1 diff I'm not so confident of it reaching anything near 285km/h. still as far as 33 GTSTs go it's well up there with the nicer ones. considering it's not really a collectible model as such (but it is a very rare model) I would say maybe $20-$25K with the right buyer.

pete is very tall but he has no balls at all and if you drive beside him, he will put you in the wall better?

you're next merlin.

verse 2. he name is pete, he's dumb he takes it up the bum he likes to wear girls panties riding in his 31

sounds like a song all the spectators were singing at the track about you ya clown. fatz's wang is small he like to hit the wall and he sucks the balls he has no skill at all I heard johnny is going to release it on LP. it's a catchy tune.

by 'everyone' who do you mean? I can only think of a handfull of japanese workshop R35s for sale personally.

hehe, you know I love you john but you just reminded me of a few I forgot for ya booklet. 15. haven't done many laps since 1984 in my model A ford sports sedan 16. I don't have a fancy gearbox 17. couldn't get 2UE reception at Oran park and didn't want to miss john laws drive time. 18. Keith Carling was trash talking and put me off. 19. don't have a front diff PS, make sure you show these to tim, ben and andrew as I know they will enjoy them!

hey, I didn't have to think any of that up. these are all real true blue excuses johnny has used! I swear.

hehe, if johnny whinges about not having a front diff one more time I'll ram one up his clacker!! we have already have a GTR owners excuse book thanks to many unkind individuals not accepting our 'reasons' for failure, I think we need a john penlington, 300ZX drivers excuse book now. I'll kick things off: 1. i don't have a front diff. 2. i don't have fancy tyres. 3. push to pass button fell off. (from constant use). 4. I couldn't get my targa roof closed. 5. I forgot to put in the bonnet pins. 6. I don't have a front diff. 7. i'm just a little battler, not like all those guys with a decent budget and a workshop of their own 8. A hairdresser called Cecil mistook my car for his and took off in it. 9. I slipped on rocks dragged onto the track by fatz. 10. I don't have a front diff. 11. I had a nail appointment that I just couldn't break 12. I slipped on a GTR's oil. 13. I couldn't make it as desperate houswives was on telly. 14. Beer Baron put me off with all his trash talking. That's a solid start.

what year model is it? going by 18yo it's a 90 model? do you have the original owners manual, log book and service book (really should have all 3). also how many kms? and can they be substantiated by the log books and service books? has it had any accident history? given it's a 90 model even if in very nice original condition I would say low 20s are about what you can hope for. if it was a post model change model (ie post 91) it would be a few grand more. if it were a 94 model or better yet a vspec and in the condition you describe (also assuming no accident history and very straight underneath) then you'd be looking at high 20s.

actually I reckon you should put your cash on me in the silvia. I might be able to sort some nice second hand semis before thursday and I reckon if I just weld the gate shut I should be able to run about 11ty pounds of boost which should negate john's "push to pass" advantage, plus I've done heaps of oran park laps on my playstation which means I'll know all the tricks better than mark or russ. so can someone put up a sheep station for this?

that only confuses matter more dundan!

depends. what year model is it? do you have the japanese log books and service records? what colour is it? what is the interior like? any blemishes? dash bubble? faded seats? soft seats? seat wear? steering wheel wear? how many kms? faded or worn door and window seals? when you say it's stock does it have stock steering wheel? stock airbox? stock gear knob? stock wheels? all these things are important. so from the limited info you have given it could be worth as little as $19K or as much as about $27K.

My advice: get a bigger dump pipe and front pipe (does not have to be split, the big bell mouth ones work well too). also doesn't have to be new either. That will be anywhere from $250 to $500 depending on what you get and if it's new or used. then I would get your ECU chipped and tuned. the toshi remap seems to be popular. when you get this done also fit a cheap bleed valve and up the boost to 11 or 12psi even that extra 1 or 2 psi will make a difference and make the car feel a bit nicer. The remap and bleed valve will eat up the rest of your $1000 budget. but you should get some good gains out of those mods.

oooooh, the big show down eh? who's side am I on? Johnny is a mate, but so is mark and russ, plus they have the mighty GTR where as johnny drives some kind of half arsed convertible 'targa roof' thing. It will be close. Johnny has heaps more OP experience and a pretty well sorted sled. Mark and Russ are both very handy too but with no oran experience they will need a few laps to get up to speed. having said that Mark is a bloody quick learner and not afraid to go at it so I predict Mark will be .5 seconds quicker by the end of the day. sorry johhny. hehe.
