Banned ??? What bullshit!! It was kinda fun, but then again i do that everyday in my altenative life as a stunt car driver (me wishes).

Couple of my friends actually went to Prague and have been down those very streets where they shot the commercial. Said its nothing like that 'cause the traffic is too backed up most of the time :D

It does make me wonder a bit though, they show all these middle-age old men driving their SS commodore and some bullshit going on about "feeling free" or something and them zooming around all these roads. When realistic you go 3km/hr over the speedlimit these days you get booked - its just not possible to enjoy a fast car anymore.

As realistic portrayal of these ads, they should show them getting flashed by 50 unmarked revenue raisers, sitting there stuck in melbourne traffic in melbourne's ****ed up road network, pulled over by a cop and taking his license away for going those 3km/hr over the speed limit, and then sticking a canary on his car because he modified the exhaust slightly . Don't think it would sell for some reason.....

I don''t se what the big deal is...

It has a disclaimer at the end of the ad. (and note they disabled all the safety features)... any one going to disable the safety features will most probably know how to drive (or that assuming too much?).

Nissan actually sent it too me on one of those little CD's (you know, the ones that are 1/2 the size of a normal CD)...

It can be found on the nissan site here... if they have to take this off the net... I'll host it from home!!! :D

I dont think they would be able to show it on Aus TV as there is an industry code of practice preventing ads with dangerous driving.

But i dont think this was ever meant to be a tv ad (way too long for a start, and too narrow a target). Its just viral marketing, like the movies BMW just made - gazillions of ppl on the internet are meant to talk about it and hype it up, download it, watch it, and subconciously take it all in.

Like we are right now :D

yeah, the BMW ones are soooooooo much better than the piss poor 350Z one. I downloaded it a few months back, wasn't worth the 100 whatever mb, specially being in telstra gayble :D

1, didn't look fast, 2, engine didn't sound meaty enough, should have had some mikes under the bonnet or something :( 3. the "i nearly got the back end" out bit was so hardcore :D

/me goes watches M5 with Madonna :D

/starts humming Blur's, Song 2 :D

mmm... i saw it once.

was a VERY good ad i thought.

but then that's why they banned the SS from going around in the AC/DC thunder add... now you only get to 'hear' it.

dunno what's worse.. seeing it doing dough nuts or hearing it?

not as if people are stoopid

      Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Duncan · Posted

      Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
