Jealous much? :D

This is by far the most stupid comment I have ever seen on an online forum. Congratulations.

Until you have an R34 GTR than can run a 10.81 @ 136mph, I suggest you keep your comments to yourself, because all you're doing is coming across as a jealous prick, who can't give praise where it's deserved.

Who gives a flying f u c k whether Jason whipped out the tools himself and fabricated his own driveshafts... He's got the resources to pay someone with the knowledge to do this, and instead focuses on doing what he CAN do, which is his job.

Just because you don't have the engineering background to do everything yourself, does that preclude you from having a fast car?

Do us all a favour and STFU.

XCUZME: Merlis right on this one mate - That is a seriously foolish comment.

All you are doing is critisising someone who is successful in what they do and is lucky enough to have enough $$ to pursue his passion.

When you have the knowledge to personally build a car of this calibre then you might have some justification for your comment, but for the moment, standing back and yelling "cheque book racer" to someone like Jason just screams jelousy :uh-huh:

I know if i had the money, id sooner pay a professional to engineer and build an R34GTR for me than try and do the work myself, thats just common sense.

Personally I would have saved the plates and stickers until I ran a 9 second pass. Sticking them on the car now is a bit like opening your presents the day before your birthday. But I have little doubt that car will end up in the 9's eventually, I just hope that it doesn't get turned into a full on drag car to do it.

YLWGTR has it spot on though, there are better drag cars than the GT-R and the best place for a GT-R is pounding around a circuit. If I spent that much on a GT-R it probably wouldn't get into the 10's down the strip, maybe the 1'40"s around Philip Island though.

I hate it when people use that lame line, imagine if every time someone criticised John Howard he said "Until you are elected as Prime Minister keep your comments to yourself" nobody is beyond criticism as nobody is perfect, but I agreed with the other stuff you said.

I too, would have saved those plates and stickers until the car has run a 9 second pass. But the car ran a 10 second pass on it's first drag meet, with it's STAGE 1 MOTOR... Lets give credit where credit's due.

And although I agree that the line "Until you have an R34 GTR than can run a 10.81 @ 136mph, I suggest you keep your comments to yourself" is infuriating, this is only the case because it's true. I'd say that only a handful (if that) of us would have the resources to undertake such a project as getting a lard-ass R34 GTR down the strip in the 10 second bracket in full street trim.

It just seems to me that too many people are putting in their $0.02 where they have no experience and no basis for their comments, other than watching others do what they cannot do, or cannot afford to do. That too, is infuriating.

Cliff notes: It's a beautiful car. I'd love to own it. I'd love to drive it. And believe it or not, so would all of you who bagged it and/or it's owner.

It is not and never will be true. It is a throwaway line that "plays the man and not the ball". Personal attacks are cheap shots and should always be treated with contempt. I just thought it was a shame you detracted from your other insightful comments by saying it. It brings you down to the level of the original poster's "cheque book racer" comment

It's not a personal "attack" at all.

All it is saying is "If you don't have the knowledge or the experience, shut the fu ck up."

Whoops silly me, I thought this was a forum full of support for fellow owners and enthusiasts, What? It is? Oh ok then I had better lock this thread then as to not detract from the other more appropiate lines of conversation we have on offer. Like for example PM's and the like.

Have fun chaps,

Toodle-Pip.

      I also used Knox driveshafts when I the slip yoke T56 to the 3bolted TR6060 type. I believe I was one of his first jobs as it literally changed hands when I was there, started by the old owner and finished by the new. Everyone seemed pretty great about it. So wasn't shy/seemed pretty knowledgeable when dealing with weird custom people like me.

      We used Knox Drive shafts years ago when we were doing gravel rally, good guy but I heard it had changed hands? He's got a lot of stuff and is miles cheaper than GJ and so on. He used to have a lathe setup with a MIG torch on the tool holder so he could get the uni welds just right, quite a clever guy. I just got a driveshaft done for my sequential installation and that was through Balancing Services Australia in Preston, they did the Gibson cars in the old days. New genuine CV's, billet yoke, new centre bearing and chome moly shaft was $2k.

      Thanks for sharing that mate, I've got a couple of spares on the shelf but all the unis are tight....will give old mate a shout. BTW are you sure it wasn't just a $400 paint job? Any detail of what they replaced (cut/reweld?)

      New Skyline will be RWD and manual

      Yeah I saw that about the US Q50 recently, apparently it was shown to Inifiniti dealers (probably to help with their depression about the cars they can sell). Seemed like a really obvious step to me, the platforms are very similar in many ways. Even if there aren't many people who actually put the money up it should really help with image/reputation. What hasn't been clear anywhere if that is a V38 model of if they are just going to add the trans as an option in a new model year. What they did with the Z from 370z to "Z" is just weird so I'd be surprised if they released this as a V38. Great news for me to have an option; it is far from confirmed that I can get any decent track sessions through the auto so having a manual I can swap to is great.
