Bloody farken 1hd I flicked the tv over to them to watch the wrc and then f1 and they are showing the afl and it there was still more than a quarter to go, Qualifying will be lucky to start at 6.30 why cant they just show it live for f**** sake

Damn 1HD. Not only did they delay the telecast because of the football, but they also cut it short by not showing the press conference. Instead, it will be shown on the pre-race show tomorrow, of which it will just be certain parts. WTF 1? Get your act together!

I really wish ESPN would broadcast it aswell, at least give the Australian public a couple of choices. (For those of us with Foxtel at least)

Mate, you dont want the ESPN coverage...its pretty bad. They commentate from a studio nowhere near the action, so are about as informed as you and me watching the live timing on the internet. Hell they monitor twat posts for gods sake. That said even though the commentators are also English, its nowhere near the Brit lovefest that is BBC

It's not really about the commentary Troy, more so the crappy broadcast by One. I'm sick of them showing it off on their ads as one of the premier sports that they show, yet will not follow through with the full program if the football or IPL are on afterwards...

last year when we went down for f1 we were sitting in the Transporter Bar at about 6pm and noticed all these people heading in the same direction with afl singlets on. Kids with balls you name it. everybody was going.

i turned to some people in the bar and asked them who was playing and they were shocked i didnt know. i explained i was from sydney so they didnt kill me. its a religion down there, one that i dont understand but its massive.

Try finding a pub showing the league lol.

Why the fuck is that ball touching excuse a sport on every channel that 10 provides?

I have to move to perth or something where thay dont care about anything. Victoria is too obsessed with this queers game

Hair muff then.

I wonder what Brawn is thinking right now. Paid huge money for the German to come out of retirement, when he could have kept the Brazilian for almost nothing...and at this time in their careers its clear that Rubens is the quicker of the two

Yes, the crappy broadcasting sure does wear thin. First 2 races was all "yeah F1 amazing" and then they go back to their usual antics.

I also can't stand the two twats they have commentating. Rust always sounds like he's trying to shout, and neither of them ever say anything worthwhile.

And f**k me but if i heard anything else about Mclaren and Hamo...Loved it when Button out qualified him as well cause Hamo has some kinda love affair with that circuit apparently....

Yeh, its where he beached it coming into the pits, probably costing him a WDC in his rookie year

    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
    • Shock tower brace is in +5Kw....LOL
