VF GTS is about 100k on road as far as I remember, pretty sure they come with AP racing brakes too?? (even though they probably say HSV on them)

My mates boss has one reckons its decent for a new stock car

Even still brah I don't think you'll get one for that they command a premium

especially 1 week before race wars

I'd hate to have 100k to spend on a car

Suck it up princess

f**king lol

So those playing at home, got the iPhone 5s.

Ported over my iphone 4 apps, photos and all in a couple of minutes.

No messing around, simple is best.

Bought a Nexus 5... Booted it up for the first time, "Would you like to install the apps which are currently installed on your Galaxy Nexus?" Yes plz. 5 minutes later everything is perfect.

Agreed, Simple is best.

N5 > IP5

That will be all. How are you liking it so far, Simon? I played with my mates the other day, quite smooth. I appreciate the slightly extra screen real estate over my N4 as well.

Tbqh it doesn't feel like I have a new phone. It's all the same as my 4s.

Barely notice the larger screen. Finger print unlock is fancy though.

I'm loving the nexus 5, it's not too big like lots of people have been saying... Considering I've come from a 4.65" Galaxy Nexus to the 5" Nexus 5 its not a huge jump in size...

Battery life is awesome, Push Email + Facebook notification + a few 10-15min phone calls + Whatsapp and SMS all day long, and I was coming home from an 8 hour day (plus an hour of driving each way) with 75%+ battery life

It's light, but still feels really solid and well made. If you're going to get one, I'd recommend the black. I got the white and now I can't use it in the garage like I'm used to :P My GNex I'd pick up with grease COVERED hands and zero fks given, just give it a wipe on my shirt when I was done... It's a bit trickier to clean black off the white back cover.

I'm honestly not sure how Apple manage to make so many people splooge over the most minor incremental upgrades... People rushing out to buy a $1000+ outright phone, sure its got a slightly faster processor... but all the apps are designed to function on the lowest common denominator (which is the lowest phone running the current OS, iP4S) so you don't really feel the power boost anyway... I'd love to buy a beer for the guys in their marketing department, they sure as hell know what they're doing :)

Edit: Speaking of keyboards... I've just installed a new one called Fleksy, really intuitive and easy to use (after the day or so of un/learning curve). Just wish it had some swype like functions as well. but other than that, its really accurate and smooth as butter.

C63 must be due for new model starting to look dated IMO

Aaron could confirm?

need aaron's insider information! :P

that's true. they black edition coupes are still hawt, though!

sounds good :)

my n4 isn't even a year old tbh, although given the price point i could upgrade to n5 for not much, i'll probably wait it out until the next gen of phones/nexus.

i use swype these days, good stuff. only thing i hate is the stupid lack of return key in the messaging app... but that is google's fault :P (i wonder if it's any different in hangouts... not sure i want to use hangouts)

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
