who the hell are you and where do you think you can come in with a comment like that.

I know the prices were the same.

i know the release dates were the same.

what no one knew was whether there would be a manual and i have TOLD you there wont be!

whats it to you anyway?

my moment in the TMS sun! I was there, and i wanted to tell you guys about it. Whats your problem with me?

Well someone has let all this get to them, haven't they??!

You went to the TMS, you had something to post about and Rich should just leave you be. The rest was pretty common knowledge. TBH, I couldn't care less who you think you are but you had real info that has a place in this part of the forum. I think you should take a breath before jumping down people's throats.

My comment about the rest of the world reading 90% of what you'd posted still stands though, champ.

yes I think a bit of lighten up is in order. you are both right, it was poor form to post what I did, but I thought it funny, and rather than keep my negative thoughts to myself I posted them. big deal, I made fun of your grab for glory. I thought it funny that you had this great 'scoop' emerge 4 days after the launch. in hindsight I should have giggled to myself and left it at that. yes it's all valid info and I can now accept that many people may not have known it. the reason I call it a grab for glory is if you really just wanted to share info you would have added it to any one of the number of suitable threads in the section. rather than starting 2 more of your own.

so I apologise for making fun of you adam. if you want me to remove it I will.

but heed this advice. learn how to take criticism with good humour, and think about what you say when you react. otherwise your stay on the forum will be a short one. 2rismo was defending you, and you just went nuts at him.

I think i might jump in here,

"but heed this advice. learn how to take criticism with good humour, and think about what you say when you react. otherwise your stay on the forum will be a short one. 2rismo was defending you, and you just went nuts at him."

Adam i wouldnt take this personnally, especially coming from Beer Baron. I also wouldnt accept his lame attempt at redeeming his integrity infront of members of this board. His attitude has always stunk. Especially towards newer members.

Ive had similar run-ins with him over turbo related posts; where he has been unquestionably incorrect and, i have corrected him yet he could not take my criticism with good humour either!

How hypocritical! I say let him stand on his high horse because atleast he doesnt fool us!

that doesnt sound like advice BB. That sounds like a threat. If you think your words dont apply to you as well, if i was you id stop and take a long hard look at myself.

dont just go around and scoff at what i post. Im making an effort here to be involved and all you and some others feel like doing is sticking the boot it. You come across as a know it all and thats a pet hate of mine.

And thanks Andrew, i wont take it personally. I just feel like my efforts have gone unappreciated... again.

Sorry admin, ill try to get the information on the forum faster next time.

your contributions are appreciated on the forum Adam... how its received is up to the individual.

i have to accept i cant please everyone, but thanks for the comment, funky.

LOL at the '5 minute very hot' girl.

I mean look at her nose :(

Not wanting to fuel any fires here and i don't know anyone, but it must be said (i was following the thread post by post) it sounded like the convo the op had with the enginner was pretty exclusive and quite clear that a 6 speed manual GTR will not be released (ever) which is quite contrarary to 90% of what i've read. Not talking about the DSG coming to Australia or anything. I thought it was quite relevant.

whatcyutalkingabout shaun?

looks exactly like electrically actuated front drive to me, which is great news as far as being able to control it. hope the actuators can handle very high torque though

thanks for the pics adam

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
