DSKYLINE2C

lol sorry my bad

who said anything bout skylines being crap?? unfortunately i didnt have a spare $80k in my back pocket...the supra was the closest i could get to an r34 gtr in terms of the gearbox

hehe recently man, was getting sick of the skyline, wanted to try out the getrag 6speed box....its nice hehe

im in bentleigh and moving to cheltenham soon but I havent seen that many skylines round here...where do u guys hide out?? btw i drive a red tt supra

I believe it is irrelevant whether one is on their p's or not to a certain degree, it is the experience and maturity that is essential. I am presently on my 4th year of p's (ie issued my p's in nsw at age 17) and drive a twin turbo mkiv supra. I have driven more km's than a lot of 23 year olds. So what, does that make me incapable for driving a supra? I believe it is more a qualitative issue than quantitive. I am not saying that 18 year olds should be permitted to drive high performance vehicles but saying that training programs and tests should be carried to determine if a person is at a sufficient level to control a high performance vehicle rather than banning them which in essence causes rage and results in deaths. At least this way, it could be seen as a loop hole for young drivers and force them to learn and respect power.

stay in noosa mate!

man im pretty sure i saw that car today.....were you driving up chesterville road past southland today?

im pretty sure its ur switch thats faulty mate.....replace the switch or do wat funkeymonkey said what ive done before in other cars is replace the switch with the passanger side switch momentarily just to move the window up. I dont know if it will work though since the driver side console has a few buttons there and thus the passanger side switch may not fit

Ofcoarse, but I mean you can't deny it. Disregarding reliabilty issues, Jag would still be held back due to their egine. "every other component of the car except the Cosworth engine excel in performance" is a general statement. I should have rephrased "every" with "most". Strightline speed is a good indication of the lack of performance of the Cosworth even though aero plays a role in straightline speed.

Just randomly quoteing my points doesn't automatically mean you have found a contradiction, it's easy to quote 4 or 5 points and say there are contradictions without explaining VALIDLY. READING and COMPREHENDING would be a good tool to assist you in this concern. I am referring to the whole team in that context and not individual players, therefor I am relating it to Cosworth and not Jag. Since its difficult for you to interpret the meaning unambiguously I'll explain once again. To enter your football team in AFL you must be competitive, therefor in that context Hawthorn is a good enough team to get into the level of AFL. Yet to be competitive in AFL they must excel over the other teams, which they are lacking at the moment.......If you can not comprehend this I really advise you go back to school.

The feeling is mutual Undoubtably Webber is an excellent driver. Although, you failed to mention what actually happened at the BEGINNING and duration of the Malasian race. Engine as usual wasn't a problem since its reliable, although some component in the launch failed, hence unreliable. My point being whats the point of having a reliable engine if it is not competitive, as in the case of Minardi! Although it does come in handy when scavanging points as in the Indianapolis GP (Zolts) For any manufacturer to enter F1 the ultimate in motorsport is a mamoth achievement. Having said that, Cosworth are providing the least best engine of the 10 teams (7 excluding JAG, Jordan, Minardi). Its as simple as that. When one would say "Hawthorn is crap", it is obvious that the players constitute of very good skills yet they are performing the worst out of the rest of the teams. as for the rest of the post.....off-topic as usual....loll really becoming repetitive

You still need to learn the difference between reliability and performance. Once again, dictionary would be an adviseable source. Ill give you a head start.... Think of it this way, the engine is reliable (learn meaning) yet lacks performance (learn meaning). The other components of the car lack reliablity but excel in performance. Please read, then re-read and then re-re-read the above statement until you comprehend it, since it obviously takes you long. agreed, tell me the highlight of cosworth's performance with Jaguar over the last three years (since this how I base the credebility of teams)? It's a very simple arguement so avoid drifting from the topic.

loll u are just confusing youself here......once again Ill remind you we are talking about present and not the past. Honda and renault are doing well now. Although recall when Fisichella was driving for them? We are debating on the effects of the Cosworth engine in F1 TODAY, whats it got to do with appreciation of their competition other forms of motorsport?. I appreciate their involvement but I can not admit that they are supplying a decent engine to Jag. [ Im not sure if your just not mentally capable of comprehending simple statements or you just have to rebut every statement I make. Reliability has nothing to do with performance. I advise you to read a dictionary. I am not sure if you are aware but every component is being developed in every car every week. Notice last year how Williams didn't fare well until Monte Carlo, next thing you know they almost claimed the title. Its not a co-incidence, every car in F1 is further developed during the year not only in off season. Im just saying that their engine has been the most reliable part of Webber's car thus far. He's had plenty of other failures non engine related even though they may excel performance.

Still can't agree with you in that respect. One must look at the position in the present time frame and not the pre-historic. Consider that Cosworth produces engines for 3 manufacturers from an accounting perspective. There are no two teams on the grid with the same engine in F1 today. Therefor it recieves thrice the revenue. My OPINION is that most engine manufacturers spend more money on r&d than on direct material costs. Therefor instead of spending minor r&d on three engines wouldn't it be beneficial to make one engine? and delivering at the same or a minor increment in price to the 3 manufacturers? maybe they lack the resources in this era which makes them a BUDGET and LESSER manufacturer! I believe that Jag are getting the most out of their package, but can not go further with a useless engine!

they are both quite ordinary...they are a budget engine manufacturer today in f1....results speak for themselves and nothing you can prove in the last 2 years of F1 can alter that

So I was right Thats also why I thought they were US based since the engines are commonly reffered to as "ford-cosworth" Im fairly certain that Jag uses the CR6, proven to be the only reliable component of the car for Webber

hehe put it this way, that big rear spoiler isnt there for rice

i thought the exact same until I heard james alan on the commentry saying that it was american based....Im sure that Jordan and Jag are using the new spec cosworth engine although I am deffinite that Minardi are using a lower spec but better in reliabilty, having said that their lap times are 2sec quicker than last years and are fairly close to Jordon this year. i dont think horspower is as much of an issue as you guys are making it....its the whole package, especially aero, reliabilty, low centre of gravity and balance that makes a good racing car.... and everyone in the paddock knows who has the most hp as everyone knew last year that williams had the most (which was most noticeable on long straights) yet Ferrari still claimed the world and constructors championship!

i think the problem with jag is cosworth......americans are useless pricks! nevertheless Jag are in trouble next year with HSBC likely to back out so Webber better leave as soon as he can

you probably get more response on the ns forums www.nissansilvia.com

dont worry bout cops man....i had my r33 for 1.5 years and never once got pulled over....my perception is that as long as you behave on the road, you should be fine!
