  1. Not sure what he's talking about, but may be worth looking at your tailshaft as you said... check the unijoint in it, where it connects to the body, make sure the rubber around that isnt worn and stuffed... make sure there isn't too much movement in it if there is you may need new rubbers around there, make sure the bolts are tight and its on them right etc...
  2. my mate had 33GTR rims on his 33gtst for a while, they fit fine
  3. I highly doubt that Terry. I think they are taking the piss out of you ... but regardless if windows is behind a firewall then its only what the user/software running on it allows it to do... I dont like the idea of a windows box with a public IP, but with a good sys admin it can be locked down as well. *nix is for servers, especially web ones.
  4. I've got a twin plate and when i reverse when its cold it shudders/rattles a bit.
  5. See the that means i was joking/being a smart ass, the last F1 race honda blew both thier engines, one of them caught on fire
  6. hehe no offense to you or you car at all... went to the drags with my mate in his GTST which runs 250rwkw, std injectors but has a power FC and a good tune... he ran around a 13.4@110mph i think... but had a lot of trouble with traction i'm guessing if you have a good launch in you may be able to break into the 12s... but since its going to be your first time there and all, i'm guessing for a mid 13 Good luck!
  7. Usually windscreens fog up because moisture has gotten in the car somehow, so you want to get rid of that - try one of those hippo things you buy fromt he supermarket that collects moisture out of your car. Sit it somewhere (stable) in your car for a week or so and see if its collecting moisture. see if that fixes it.. if it comes back then time to find out how/where the water is getting in.
  8. Robin: Guess you should write down the 2 different options 1. Built it into a weekend car/track car - write down what you would like the car to have/be able to acheive, work out a timeline for it and budget for it 2. Keep it as a daily driver and track car - write down what you want out of it and work out a timeline/budget for it... if you go for option 1, then you would probaly want to buy a run around shitbox right away so you don't have to stress about getting the GTR back on the road ASAP, you can do reasearch and think about it more.. if you go for option 2.. then i guess you need to get into gear.... I'd probably do(and probably will do when my engine goes) the same thing Jack has, forged pistons, and whatever else ben recommends for a daily driver, sometimes track car. Probably budget around 6k for the engine rebuild not including ECU etc..
  9. Good luck Chris - my guess is you'll run a mid 13 - I put my vote in for a 13.5@108mph
  10. Post back in here with what you think of them after 5,000ks or so
  11. Or superglue it back in place
  12. And remember the perfect house comes around once every 3 weeks
  13. Can't put my fingure on it, but looks wierd.. kinda like the wheel base is a bit to short and sitting a bit to '4wd' like. The mesh looks a bit fake, but besides that impressive!
  14. Is that the Honda F1 car?
  15. ok i'm gonna ask the dumb question - what do all the numbers mean. the red value is RPM i'm guessing, but the table - whats the numbers and whats the colum/row values?
  16. That sucks dude, hope you have the cash to get that monster back on the road! Yeah unless your going for over 400rwkw then the standard rods are fine, shoudl be able to get away with forged pistons. But Speak to Ben about it all and decide what you want to do. We can all speculate, but he's the magician.
  17. Sounds like it could be clutch shudder which is normal on a heavy clutch?
  18. Did you do a tandom jump? static line jump? or accelerated freefall? the later is most expensive but the best - no big fat guy strapped to the back of you as there is with tandom, and static line theres no freefall - boring Soo much to take in when you do it tho, you just get so overwellmed..
  19. Hide the box in the cupboad, he'll never know, besides a headless box (all a *nix box needs) takes stuff all power - less than your mums hairdryer probably Well there you go if you annoyed them on IRC and you keep using the same nick/hanging out with the same people then your in for a script war. Good luck
  20. Don't think they will fit on the front of a gtst... my R33 GTR has 34 GTR rims. the white gtr you attahed aren't GTR rims, the silver one looks like it may have them on the back.
  21. to put it on the network, plug in a network cable, get to a terminal session and use ifconfig to set the ip address like so ifconfig 192.168.0.10 255.255.255.0 assuming 192.168.0.10 is what you want to set the IP address to. and then add the gateway like this route add default 192.168.0.1 and dns servers into /etc/resolv.conf in the format of: nameserver 123.123.123.123 if none of this makes anysense, install windows, guessing that will be the best bet
  22. Sounds like all you needed to do was stop using IE. Firefox is good I can show you 'case studies' of MS being cheaper/better/more secure to run than Linux - would you belive it? *nix is good stuff, good for servers, bit of overkill for the casual user on a desktop, but as with just about any OS, it comes down to the admin - i run a FreeBSD box as a firewall/router and whatever else i need to and a unfirewalled XP box behind it with firefox as my browser, no problems, even a few months ago when i was still using IE no problems, no spyware - just dont click the 'yes install spyware on my computer' buttons and keep it patched and you should be right as well. The marjoity of users end up with spyware on thier PC because they don't know any beter - thats fine. But you shouldn't need to go to *nix to stop spyware, just change browsers and use some common sense. As for being hacked by some group, not sure what you're into but real hackers wouldn't mess around with a normal individual, not worth thier time.. maybe you mean script kiddies? if so just stop doing whatever you're doing to attract thier attention (usually something to do with IRC). Get an old box from somewhere (usually can pick one up free from somewhere - i throw out old machines all the time) install *nix on it and use it as a router/firewall. But its always a good experience using *nix as a desktop, most people can't hack it for long.
  23. thats crazy power from the GTSS's!
  24. Are you sure they are ice's? Sounds a lot like Racepaces, maybe they resell Bens?
  25. is it a pink/purple change colour paint job? cf bonnet? numberplats GTR007 or something? think i saw that one for sale ages ago
