Take it in context. All they want to push is the completely out of reach class of motorsport. I have taken bikes around Lakeside and found it fun, but bike racing on a car track is just dull really as there is so much room to go around competitors.

Perhaps start reading some rules. Personal comments are not appreciated. If I knew you I might tolerate it, but so far your attempts at input to the forum have been completely without value. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...c=111125&st=0

Maybe try the ricer forum.

Oh and there is no such thing as a HR33 GTR.

Funnily enough this is a car forum. Not much interest in bike racing.

So who noticed how low key 10 went with the announcement on Sunday?

And to top it off, how pointless is the new eye candy in an interview? If they think that sells racing fine, but the only chicks I'm interested in are behind the wheel.

Hmmm.. Reading through this. A lot of whingeing, not much solution.

Look at this way.. its 2006.. digital cam the events you want to see in your own form in a co-ordinated fashion, compress it to 300meg, commentate it as necessary.. Bittorrent the result for practically free. All could be achieved and co-ordinated around the country at very very low cost. A revenue model could even be generated around some advertising throughout, or placement through an accompanying blog/upcoming/commentary website. The whole underlying tech structure is not difficult, databases, fancy looking website, dynamic update system can all be built -- somebody just has to get out there and capture it. Which level of motorsport is of course up to whoever would be keen.

Thing is the networks are so far behind the times it is time for the people that really want to watch something different to go out there and produce it themselves. The technology has long been here and is quite matured.

TV died about 2 years ago, they just don't realise it. Anybody with half a brain these days won't put up with the networks f**king around delaying tv episodes from the States, delaying sporting broadcasts, and for stretching every last dollar from the TV audience, and/or advertisers. Most have watched them a few hours after they have aired o/s, downloading time at DVD quality only a few minutes more than the actual show itself. I don't think I have watched a TV series "in the raw" (i.e. broadcast) for 12 months now, just because I'm sick of being dictated to in an interactive world.

    • Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA
    • All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.      
    • roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around.
