Righto:just quickly(as I'm rushing out the door to get to AutoSalon),here's the deal:"Nissan Skyline GT-R" DVD from Duke Video,usually about $39 to $49(at most places...)-$21 to SAU'ers in A.C.T.-you'll have to pick 'em up from me;maybe trivia night or Friday night cruise? Here's the blurb from Duke themselves:

"The original 'beast from the east', the Nissan Skyline GT-R is an icon for power, speed and advanced Japanese automotive technology. With straight-6 engines capable of being tuned to over 1000bhp, 4WD, intelligent torque-splitting differentials, rear wheel steering and enough electronics to keep a space station going, the R-32, R-33 and most recent R-34 models are mechanical 'tours de force'.

But what do they go like and what speeds are they really capable of? Our new DVD traces the GT-R's technical development and tuning options, and then puts you in the hot seat for several memorable rides. How about a lap of the old Nurburgring with 'ringmeister' Dirk Schoysman at up to 190 mph with drifting at 160 mph? Or a ride on a GP track in the ultimate racing Skyline - the Falken Tyres R34? If that's not scared you, an Autobahn blast in a 600 bhp Prospec-NISMO R34 should do the trick!

If you thought only ground-hugging 2-seater sportscars with names like Ferrari, Lamborghini or Porsche could be called 'supercars', think again!"

I own it(naturally...);anyone who want to commit to one,I need numbers NO LATER than Monday 4pm!! Takes about 1 week to get 'em here! Any qustions,call me on 0414 484 171. I'm off to A/S!

LoL...Canberra is expensive. I picked up (an original copy mind you) for 10 bux from a local market! :P

I'll assume you can get a genuine,or at least a pretty good burnt copy,from eBay or the like for less;if so-go for it. Or even your local markets-where I'm sure they sell genuine Rolexes for $50,too. That's your perogative. Besides,as first posted,this is offered to the A.C.T. SAU'ers;so maybe you need to organise an even more wonderful "group buy" elsewhere?!? Righto then;rant over...

For those who want the real deal,read on. These are new,genuine Duke DVD's,straight from the supplier to me. Warranty and all,they'll take about 3-5 working days to get to me from when I place the order. I'm about to have 6 days away from Canberra(no,Gus;you can't have the keys to the GTR or the Forester...),and I was going to place an order on Tuesday morning so they're here when I get back. Seeing as it's only Leech and SupaFly Skyline that've put their hands up,I can do two things:order two copies come tomorrow arvo,or if it's OK with Leech and SupaFly Skyline,leave this posted offer running until I get back,THEN place the order. What say you,gents? I don't mind either way. Oh,yeah:Auto Salon Sydney was pretty cool today...

Money on arrival is fine,gang. As stated earlier,I'll now put the order in next Tuesday(24th);probably see the DVD's on either Friday 27th or Monday 30th,I'd imagine(maybe sooner). If they're here on the Friday,I'll bring 'em out to our usual Friday night gathering,if not,Trivia night will be the go...OK?

    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.  
    • No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".
    • Just wanted to unearth this and post my baby with the new front ❤️😝 Took her to my wedding rehearsal today. Next up is getting wide skirts (after wedding)
