Even better in that mag JC jumps into a F430 Scuderia and the Stig 'tries' to catch him in the new GTR...

..can't wait for it to hit our shores (the mag that is :whistling: ) so I can have a read.

Nope, JC drives the 430 but the Stig doesnt follow him in the GTR.

Its GTR vs 911 Turbo. And its not JC driving the GTR, its Bill Thomas.

The Stig does pop out of a bush at the Nurburgring, jumps into the GTR for a few laps and then disppears back into the bushes. :lol:

To be expected. Promote the new japanese superweapon on a yankee redneck car website, and this is what will happen.

Its exactly what happens when people talk about the Z06 or the VE Commodore on here. Neither are bad cars, for the price and intended market.

Hell, when the Veyron was released there were a whole bunch of SAU keyboard warriors saying how its shit and Skylines are better. :/

hahaha, i bet some people said something like "why should i spend 1 mill on a Veyron when i can spend 1 mill on a gtr and be faster than everything else "

Its like you've got a direct connection to the Internet. :banana:

Its either that or "I could spend half that and make a 1000hp GT-R that would run faster than a 9.8s quarter and use the change to buy XYZ", ignoring the fact that the Veyron can repeat those numbers with a few thousand kilometres between minor services (rather than a pull-down after every run), can do 400km/hr with rock solid stability, doesn't require the use of ear plugs, go around bends, and not be slower than a pedestrian when off-boost, and every other drivability compromise you'd have to make in a big-power GT-R.

That's true, nobody with a hot modded GTR talks about what happens below 4000 rpm. What happens in Ball bearing single turbo club, stays in Ball bearing single turbo club

the new z06 is actually quite good.. does 105km/h in first gear.. im a big fan of it.

The GTR hasnt lost a single comparison/race so far.. i didnt think it would be quicker then the R8, but hell!!! :)

Lets not forget that the owner of the Veyron can choose to also spend big bucks on a fast GTR if they wanted to (if you have 1 mil euro to spend on a car then you can easily buy as many GTRs as you wanted to), while the GTR owner most probably couldn't afford to buy a Veyron.

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
