Trust me I've seen enough dropkicks come through the doors at the panelbeaters to know why someone resprays their cars or changes head and turbo. NO ONE resprays their car for the hell of it in the same colour it was before. They only ever respray the car in the same colour to cover up something or to fix damage. If you're lucky, it's cos of faded paint. Worst case scenario its cos it had a frontal, or was a VIV car, or a rebirth. You're just as big a dropkick if you're naive enough to believe the in the kindness of the human spirit when it comes to used car sales. If you believe the worst it makes the seller work harder to sell the car to you, or at least be more willing to drop the price. Don't delude yourself and buy a car with glazed over eyes.

lol respray and head/turbo recondition... so the dude's crashed it AND blown the engine/turbo. that car's had an easy life. but it's been "Always be garaged . No Damage." baaaaaargain. if this dude's an international student like he's makin out to be, then vice clamp his nuts and squeeze him on price for trying to pass off a car that's had a rough life as a minter.

40th nniversary R33 GTSt's came out in Midnight Purple 1, like the GTR's. The LM edition GTR's were Blue or white, depending on what you preferred I think every single one I've seen has been blue though.

I'm not gonna pick on a certain yellow car which has had the pleasure of my naked body brushing up against its upholstery. So you're safe

just convinced the missus to buy a V35. although she wants a 4 door. might as well find her a CV8 Premium with full leather interior.

I personally prefer... any other colour and you might catch something you'll regret.

What's the bet that a leb came up with the new Viper colour? Does it come with factory option 22" chromies? I'm highly offended that it's just a regular pearl-metallic-flippy colour and not a marble texture pearl-metallic-flippy colour.

its not a bad thing. I know a couple of midnight purple 32's running around, and they're both sex on wheels.

I've owned and driven fast RWD's and even R33 and R32 GTR's. And then I got a ride in ylwgtr's R34 GTR about 8 years ago... and my mind was blown. It just felt like a rollercoaster on rails, without the fear of imminent death.

ohh I get ya now Cheffeh, yeah totally glossed over the month and 4 days wait and thought you were chuffed about a 4 day wait Mind you, I've been waiting 2 months for my frikkin passport to arrive. I should find out what happened to it. Probably in the hands of some Israeli spy.

yeah the idea of a mac mini did appeal to me, all up this process has cost me a couple of days and $30 for an official Apple Snow Leopard disc. If the costs to get this done go over $300 then I'll probably get a mini. I've got it dualbooting and working so far on the standard VESA driver. its a little laggy though, hence the desire to get some hardware acceleration instead of relying on the CPU to calculate the framebuffer. boot loader? not sure. Think it's kalyway?

nah record stands at 30 minutes. one of the J-Spec customers had to get an approval done... as it turned out he lived in Canberra, so he went up to DOTARS and got one of the guys "Terry" I think was his surname to approve it. Time between him walking into DOTARS and him having an approval doc was half an hour.

no worries

This is the one I've got: http://www.powercolor.com/au/products_features.asp?id=209

think I've seen it before... oh yeah, its called dark metallic green by every other manufacturer.

HAHAHA OMG I thought I was the only one who had this happen to em. Going down a long one way tunnel and seeing a pair of headlights coming towards you is a bit strange.

do you wanna swap for mine? you can use mine while I test yours if that helps.

yeah I'm with alex on this one.. the cops did a huge favour in rectifying the image you portray of yourself, and also the general public in reducing burnt retinas.

midnight purple was only an option in R33's and R34's. If you have a midnight purple R32, then it's an aftermarket respray. it was NEVER sold as a factory option or a tuner option.

Is it this one? http://www.hisdigital.com/un/product2-436.shtml Are you using it atm? Can I pick it up and see if it works in my rig? A bit skeptical about ATI cards and OSX, but apparently the 4800 series is rumoured to work.

those are the new lightweight TE37's. Broseph status. they shave like a few mm off all the edges etc for that ultimate in weight saving. oh they also reinforced the spokes n shiz.

chick i'm seein atm lives in keilor east. FFFUUU. so as far as I'm concerned, westside is where the pussy is at.

you fuckknuckles are the biggest bunch of faggots to grace the murky end of the gene pool.

oooo that would be epic. I'm building a PC to dualboot Win7 and OSX. The only reason I'm installing OSX is so that can use the iPhone SDK instead of some abstraction layer to develop iPhone/iPad apps. Not like I'm a fan of rounded edges on windows or single mouse buttons.

HD5770's a newer card than the GT250, so just straight swap. Bought it a 3 weeks ago from MSY. $170 for HD5770 and $150 for the GT250. Basically offering a free upgrade to whoever has a GT250.
