hey I've got this locked bank account in nigeria that you might want a share of. PM me your passport number and bank details and we'll get mad riches.

lol only cos your meet point is 100m down the road from our regular "peking duck night" meeting point. plus black people love nandos chicken.

wed night at glenny nandos hey? might swing by and say hi, no stag tho.

filtered down F1 technology is so 1990. space technology is where its at: http://io9.com/374912/how-space-technology...ing-cars-faster

I love it when you talk dirty can I call my cuz's?

bird in hand is worth two in the bush. shut the fuck up and do the job you've been hired to do.

wtf? you gotta be blind if you think taleb/tempe special advanti's even come close to the awesomeness that are Work Emotion XD9's.

CDWow has GOWIII preorder for $65 http://www.cdwow.com.au/games/god-of-war-i...3/dp/pc/9857461 not bad.

exactly, its all about one upmanship... it works in the olympics, why not in motorsports? Its not like when the guys are lining up to run the 100m sprint, they have to be the same weight, wear the same shoes and bodysuits etc. It forces the disadvantaged to work harder, and forces those with an advantage to work towards making it consistent. At the end of the day technology and consumers win. Races used to be about showcasing cutting edge tech and technique. These days its all about how far you could push the rules and regulations without breaking them. Boring.

lol @ trialling the more modern 24valve DOHC engines and IRS. They've really got their finger on the pulse, this mob. I'll get excited when they scrap V8 Nascar Taxi's and replace it with DTM, BTCC or JGTC style rules.

Cheers Chris, woulda loved to swing by, but unfortunately I'm back in Melbourne these days oh ok, so the K12 micra and Z11 cube share parts? we worked out that this is the theme we're gonna go for: with maybe this on the side for shits n giggles: Now to find a Cube Rider, EX or RX in a red base colour

bit of a bump... looking at getting a Cube for a cousin, he wants it looking good so gonna do some mods to it too. Does the Z11 cube take K11 micra/march suspension as a direct bolt on? I read somewhere that they have a similar chassis. Also does anyone have a comprehensive list of grilles and options that they came with? According to a japanese site I checked there were 15 options of headlight/grilles.

agreed, spend the extra coin and go the 18" XD-9's. They look way better than 17" on an R33. 8.5 and 9.5 front and rear with a +30ish offset should see you sitting flush.

not exactly "out of the factory". They're Autech 4 door GTR's. Autech is to Nissan like HSV is to Holden. They are given bare chassis off the production line by Nissan, then they custom build cars from scratch. Technically they are Autech R33 GTR's, not Nissan R33 GTR's.

can we have SpunkyMonkey(?) as events coordinator?

dropped in the loo/river for sure. check under your nails to figure out which.

Then we'll need to have a meeting about having meetings for meetings. Awesome.

dammit, you're in SA. I'd have taken both of those if you were in VIC. Hmm how much is a flight to adelaide these days? can you meet me at the airport? real talk.

18x10 +18 frotns and 18x11 +18 rears... will they fit under metal GTR guards? mehbe. If not. I have a big fuck off mallet, so they will eventually.

fibreglass 400R bar FTL. Just chop the lip off and reglass it a little higher. It's already fubar anyways, so you might as well.

W00t. bought a pair of GTR front guards. Time to revert the 32 from 2/3rds fibreglass back to metal and plastic.

I got 3 out of 5 years thru my degree, then got offered a job part time, which then turned to full time. Stopped uni and just started working. By the time my mates were finishing uni, I already had 2 years experience up on them, and when going for interviews I was getting picked over them as they had no experience, and I had both experience and real world training (courses that work paid for, CCNA, CCNP, MCSE etc). Didn't have to sit through shitty graduate processes and jump through loophole. These days I'm headhunted and I set my own terms and still earn more than my mates who have a degree. Depends on the industry I suppose. I couldn't pull that shit if I was a Civil Engineer for example, cos you need a piece of paper saying you know your shit. I think IT might be the only one where you can make it as long as you have good current knowledge.

unfortunately if you wanna get into upper management, then you need an MBA or something equivalent, and to qualify for that you need a Bachelor's degree minimum. lolfag @ .NET. I think I'd take Cocoa over .NET Hanging out for Flash CS5 though. Should be awesome.

I test drove a 370Z with the intention of buying... just couldn't justify the price. I suppsoe I'm spoilt by only ever having imported my cars, I expect all the features at a good price, rather than ludicrous amounts for addons and inflated base prices. Australian dealers can suck a big one, I'll wait for the car to become more available secondhand privately. I'm sold on the car, just not the pricetag... with the same amount I can buy an R34 V Spec or NUR even.

in IT you basically get thru uni for the piece of paper. NOTHING you do is gonna be of any use/relevance when you start working and applying it to the real world, cos the syllabus that you learn off is about 5 years old by the time you start learning it, and by the time you've finished is around 10 years old. Most fields in IT changes standards every 2 years. That said, I'm glad I learnt C++ at uni before they changed to Java, cos now I'm coding iPhone apps in a variant of C
