at bondi junction plates 209, saqw it fanging down ocean st at some speed a couple hours later. must have been happy with his new tyres

whos jebus?

missed movie but had fun at 'summerMaccs' street show and shine.. thanks guys

ill have one if its 400 ish a day, long as u dont mind it driven out to Goulburn and back. oh and the GPS might suddenly find it surrounded by tinfoil

R35 silver, 206 on plates bondi junciton getting new tyres at mechanics.

elevation? curious..

yeah expected a few boofheads but i like the petrol comment getting a swift comeback enjoy it while it lasts! my sentiments exactly, thought whats going to happen to all the classics still around in fifty years when everyone else has switched to hydrogen etc, will it be like the 60's corvettes you see today with upgraded engines/brakes/electrics or will a few diehards keep running the original specs eg a 99 GTR with an RB26. With petrol by then probably ten bucks a litre it will have to be the linfox types of 2060 .. sad but inevitable.

if you RTFA the price is due to only the premium model being available now and first drive is just me quoting their headline. its just a software update essentially but still, thought it was vaguely SAU worthy.

any updates?

http://news.drive.com.au/drive/motor-news/new-nissan-gtr-first-drive-20110329-1cdys.html and if ur too lazy to click the link It's 22 years since the Nissan Skyline GT-R rose prominently on the horizon. Today's GT-R has abandoned the "Skyline" part of the badge but not the ethos: supercar performance for a fraction of the cost. The latest update for the R35 generation, the second in consecutive years, slightly dents the value equation of the model that first went on sale here in 2009, priced from $148,800. Advertisement: Story continues below Nissan has dropped the cheaper model from the range, and now only offers a single version based on the old Premium model with a price tag that is exactly $20,000 more. The Nissan, however, still costs less than half the price of a Porsche 911 Turbo - and, thanks to significant 'MY11' tweaks, can now match it for acceleration. And potentially beat it. Nissan says the GT-R is now capable of sprinting from a stationary position to 100km/h in three seconds. We didn't have our timing equipment with us, but the claim seems accurate, judging by the mighty eye-bulging, neck-straining-forces experienced during runs at Phillip Island racetrack using the Japanese supercar's launch control system. There's no place better, either, for exploring the GT-R's more powerful engine. Increased turbo boost pressure, adjusted valve timing and a revised exhaust system all contribute to a 33kW lift in power to 390kW for the 3.8-litre twin-turbo V6. Torque rises by 24Nm to 612Nm, available again from 3200rpm but now with that peak pulling power continuing for another 800rpm to the tacho's 6000rpm mark. Consequently, it's no longer so pointless revving gears to the tachometer's redline for performance, though this remains an engine that will give you the biggest punch if you change up slightly earlier to reap the rewards of its manic mid-range. Even the GT-R's gearbox software acknowledges this. Leave the six-speed dual-clutch auto to do its thing (which it does superbly) rather than control it yourself via the magnesium paddleshift levers (still annoyingly fixed to column rather than moving with the steering wheel) and it never hangs on to gears too long. The track also reveals the GT-R's newly developed tyres, designed to be even stickier for both dry and wet surfaces, actually do have limits, whereas on the road the grip levels feel like they're infinite. This is an extraordinarily rapid car that belies its not inconsiderable weight (about 1.7 tonnes - Nissan doesn't publish the figure). And one with a clever all-wheel-drive system that you can sense working through corners as it shuffles torque backwards and forwards between the front and rear wheels searching for optimum traction. The fact you don't always need to finesse the throttle, and can rely on the system to straighten the car out of corners as you push the right pedal into the carpet, is indicative of an engineering approach that continues to be endearingly savage rather than suave. Brutal performance, apt for a car Australia nicknamed "Godzilla", is accessed via controls that feel just right - perfectly weighted pedals and steering - but this isn't a fuel-efficient sports car despite a minor improvement over the outgoing model. We averaged 20L/100km in the city, barely improving to about 18L/100km elsewhere. Neither is the GT-R a quiet car. Tyre noise is still deafening on coarse-chip roads, and the rear-mounted gearbox continues to clunk up and down gears during low-speed driving. Suspension revisions have introduced some semblance of suppleness to the ride, but even on freeways the GT-R is not a relaxing cruiser. Sharp bumps jolt the cabin and rough roads jiggle the car. Nissan has considered daily useability in other areas, too - by turning the GT-R into a two-wheel-drive car for fiddly manoeuvres such as parking. At speeds below 10km/h and with the steering wheel turned 180 degrees or more, the GT-R cuts the drive to the front wheels. As far as we can see, though, "Godzilla" is a car that still prefers to be unleashed on the open road. Nissan GT-R MY11 Price: $168,800 Engine: 3.8-litre twin-turbo 6-cyl Power: 390kW at 6400rpm Torque: 612Nm at 3200-6000rpm Transmission: 6-sp dual-clutch auto, AWD Fuel consumption and emissions: 12.0L/100km and 279g/km 0-100km/h: 3.0 seconds (claimed) comments OK but where other than on a racetrack is it useful to be able to do 0-100kph in 3 seconds or have the ability to beat a Porsche 911? As for the fuel economy figures; well 20l/100km is just ridiculous. Petrol is a finite resource people. Peter | Brisbane - March 29, 2011, 11:57AM About time...Now wait 10 years teenagers and uni grads. In 10 yeas time, we'll all hire Ferrari's, Porsches, BMW, Aston Martin and Lambagine, (to hell with the spelling), and shoot each of their supercar status perch, one at a time at the nearest legal drag racing center. Hurrah for YouTube...we'll make some money discrediting these so called Supercars on this site while we're at it. Akuma | wests - March 29, 2011, 12:11PM @Peter "Petrol is a finite resource people." It is, and that's why we should enjoy it while we have it. Pete | Sydney - March 29, 2011, 12:13PM Awesome! Anyone got $168,800 I can borrow? pix - March 29, 2011, 12:33PM Why would anyone waste 170k on one of these imported eyesores! An SS Commodore/XR8 Falcon looks and sounds infinitely better, costs 1/3 the price and performs slightly less... Not to mention you are supporting an Australian industry and jobs, something that seems to be valued less and less as evident by the unjustified and anti Australian remarks some un-patriotic imbeciles seem so eager display on these forums. Embrace the country or leave it! Real Aussie | Australia - March 29, 2011, 12:11PM

god is the crime that bad in the area? spose if u have a shiny GTR you would have to be pretty careful, used to slummin it in my 33. half ten is good, means i can get there with half an hour left and def up for the hot choco's after. Should i bring a bunch of auto dvds to add to the club house collection?

oy, i will add you [email protected] thought i was camera proof until i gunned it through an orange on the westlnk the other night and 'flash-flash' ...going to have to research those ghost plates, pretty sure it was the speed not the red light.

nice, thanks for the link. will use it when i find the brotherhood. weird thing, when i killed mr house, the guy i was collecting scrap metal for at the gunrunners shop disappeared..any idea why? shouldnt be related to house as i was doing it for the weapons guy at camp mccarran..

nice, anyone done this themselves yet on the ps3? whats the mission called?

Kumho KU36 on the front which i flatspotted immediately and sportmaxx on the back which are down to the threadlies. easy?

how late will this thing go roughly? wont be able to make it till ten pm ish due to work..

yeah thats the one, so do they look open again? curious about the ongoing saga. odd so many conflicting reports as to their honesty/reliability though it seems like the golden days are long past. must be a good reason behind this?

i just accidently killed mr house.. thought i was hacking his network for the follower girl outside his casino, saw an option to open a door on the monitor. thought why not?! soon as i backed out of the screen his robots were trying to kill me. was too late to save so just took them all out (surprisingly easily) and went and found the old geezer. didnt seem to be much of an option other than taking him out by that point. yes man just stands there outside say 'hi' while the mission prompter keeps telling me to go back to him. did a few side quests but it doesnt feel the same anymore. is it pathetic that im mourning a video game character i didnt even really meet in game? new vegas just feels so empty without him., oh and is that DLC for new vega? want 10k to buy all the body mods from that doc outside the gate near the gunrunners.

does the clubhouse have a DVD library? i have a craptonne of HPI/drift/best motor/cannonball run type dvds i could donate to it if so. share the love and all.

good advice warps, i had no idea about the coco pops thing either. on to my 14th packet and im starting to feel a little sick and bloated...do we have to eat them too? will they know if we just buy them and throw away the chocolatey goodness? oh god and i used to like this stuff. im going to throw up.

the first two are my car and colour exactly. so awesome, thanks OP!

working from 3pm will try and swap though. original FnF should be funny, looks like a dead heat with gone in 60, would that be the original or the remake?

nice shots andy, that was with a phone wasnt it? sweet.
