Strange.. unless it is because the sever has Pro con start up file? Mine never disconnects only if i do a server reset. I just had a look at pro con it does have some functions that BF3CC does not but it seams like a bit more work to setup server map wise at least.

That depends on what type of game youwant to play. BF3 is more team based with bigger maps and morevehicles and MW3 is more of a run and gun type game. Sort oflike Counter Strike but war based. I like the team based type wargames and more realistic game experience so I will always play BF3just like from the start..

Have not used the new version of pro con so let me know what you think if you end up using BF3CC. I have had bo problems with it yet.

R31Nismoid do you use BF3CC to work with server? It makes it a whole lot easier to do things on the fly and change maps etc. We dont kick people unless they use a hack and so far so good only had two people who were shotting people out off tanks with guns.. Madaz ---- Thanks for the comments mate more so designed for reporting problems etc and for people to ask for different maps and modes. Stuff like that... Just need people to join haha but all good. Server was full last night again i hope this keeps up would like it to be like yours mate. But then people love Metro :-) Will have to watch this spot for next game night and play with some fellow SAU members.

Hey guys just a heads up i have set up a server now for Battlefield 3 as it seams that a lot of the serves never have Admin on and that is when your game gets stuffed by some low life who hacks. So I set this server up and have a number of admins who are online most of the time and a number of known hackers have been added to our ban list to keep it fun and fair for all. So the Server is "Xtreme Warfare (Fast Vehicle Spawn)(375 Tickets) 1 Player Start" and if you are unluck and no admin is on please let me know on the website www.xtremegamersaustralia.webs.com/ Maybe we could even do SAU nights on server with Password only login. We will see hey. R31Nismoid let me know if i am out of line posting this here - - - - P.s. If you play a bit and like server maybe you would want to be Admin too :-) Well come and have a look at site and server all.. Thanks...

I know you want Sydney but i doubt you will find one so this would be your best option. http://www.importmonster.com.au/view?url=http://page18.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/w66707770&thumb=http://f2.auctions.c.yimg.jp/img227.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/users/3/6/8/9/hydcg004-thumb-131684399310255.jpg&title=BNR34 GTR Or get a R34 GTT wheel localy or import and put the GTR Air Bag in it as they are the same wheel just different stiching on some. http://www.importmonster.com.au/view?url=http://page7.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/g79674887&thumb=http://f0.auctions.c.yimg.jp/img147.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/users/0/6/0/5/hanswerneraufrecht-thumb-124386741312607.jpg&title=GTR GT R GT R http://www.importmonster.com.au/view?url=http://page17.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/v222595329&thumb=http://f0.auctions.c.yimg.jp/f38batchimg.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/users/9/3/0/8/csootomo-thumb-1320215754723121.jpg&title=ER34 GT T

Funny you should both say this. Today i dropped into the tuner shop and booked in for friday morning power run to see what sort of power i am getting. Got to talking about some work the have done on the N54 models and the want to look at the current map and see if they can play with it and possible headers makes a huge improvement. Was just going to leave it as is but maybe just a little more work. Headers shouldn't void anything. Tried to post a sound file but it wont let me

True it is a high reving V8 and not to heavy so has a lot going for it. Wekk what about the new TTV8 from the M5? Mind you huge power is not everything i guess as it comes down to the overall package. End of the day the N55 is a great engine for a 3L 6 Turbo, seems strong and has good history. I am sure if they had used it in the E92 with some more tuning it would be a wepon as i now have more torque then a stock M3 so it just needs top end work.

Enhanced durability when under heavy stress and less heat soak from what i can determine. They do offer the tune only without the bolt on parts so I guess it is purely if you do track work, mountain roads etc that put the car under a constant heavy load. Exhaust burble sound during engine overrun conditions more noticeable after tune. Very interested in the new M3 now i must say as they will possibly be a Turbo again....

No it is a retune (more boost andmapping change) Additional water cooler, air vents and largerventilator fan to keep things cool. This is about the limit for factory warranty backed tuning.Heaps of options to get mega power and torque but hey 250kw @ 5500rpmand 450+ nm @ 1200 to 5000rpm is heaps when mated with the DCT. NotGTR power but the suspension, tyres, DCT, ect make the car handle andperform awesome on twist mountain roads and power is always there. By the way it would be hard to touch exhaust as it has such a great note under throttle with a nice burble when reved, but then quite if not in sports mode. Check back tomorrow I will try and record the sound and post it here for opinions. Just hope I will still allowed to come on cruise days.. ?

Yes I guess some people have a problem with European cars (thinking drivers are rich or snobs) but I guess its no worse then when I owned the GTT and every other person thinks your a hoon even though your driving better then half the people on the road. (Wouldn't stop me from buying another Skyline or a GTR.) I suppose lucky for me I drive a fair bit for a living so don't speed ( to many hidden cameras and D cars) or though sometimes you have to watch these highway on ramps. lol I would post in or join a BMW forum if there was a good one but in saying that i was just showing everyone what we got and still have a great love for the Skylines and GTR so Member for life i guess. Thanks for the comments.

Ok so I finally got a chance to take some pictures when out for a drive. The BMW Performance Package has made a huge noticeable difference to response and turbo sound. Not a real good idea to turn off all the assists now. Launch is brutal now and easy 4 second times to 100km/h Anyway still loving the drive, sound (oww that rumble sound) and comfort for the long drives we do. The looks, never get sick of the lines and the rims (aghh hot rims) Very happy till the 2012 GTR turns up Those interested enjoy..

Greddy Turbo timers also have a cable to connect to your speed sensor so it measures your speed, Quarter mile, 0 to 100km/h and also if the car is moving without the key. You know hills and 100km/h you only need to let the car idle for around 1 minute. It realy is easier to just wait. Had one in our GTT just for the 0 to 100 timer and speed warning. Also Turbo timer or not it is illegal to leave a car running without someone present or in close proximity to the vehicle. Just as it is illegal to leave a vehicle unlocked and unattended (e.g. paying for fuel)

Well the car is at BMW as i type this getting her self a little bit of a power boost already. They are fitting the BMW Performance Engine Package Can't wait till Monday when she comes home with a minimum of 450nm at 1200 rpm and 250kw... For thoes interested will post some better Pictures and driver experiance on Tuesday

No not me. We do Hospitals, laboratory Buildings, Civil water and sewer pump stations, Shopping Centers etc. We don't do land developments or houses. Only the big stuff

True they are close in power but was a good deal and has a few M bits on it. so still has a bit of the look... Love these wheels.. If the new M3 goes to a turbo 6 i am going to have to buy that and a 2012 GTR :-) BMW such a nice car to drive hey. Or what about a M3 with the new M5 Motor now that would fly...

Well i will have to take you for a spin next time your down this way or if we head back up to see family. Not sure how much i will do to the car as we will only keep it a couple years and it is great fun as it is. Quite when cruising and just right when you floor it... Such a well finnished car also materials etc... Laters.

Have all my points at the moment... Have to watch it 100 comes up real quick ... You go to over take and get a little warning bell and then you feel disappointed cause you want more. lol

Not to sure about the money being better. 09 GTR ( No GPS, No Launch Control) is about $120000 that is a $60000 drop and $20000 more expensive then more this car. 2009 335I DCT about $90000 that is a $25000 drop. I am not saying the GTR would not be better but it is not the same sort of car and well we want a 2012 GTR or none at all :-) lol. 2012 GTR will come but when the price comes down on a ex demo like the BMW did then i am in. :-) BMW does still turn heads though and damn just a true race sound under hard acceleration and quite when cruising...

Sure is a great car. No GTR but better seats for the long trips we do and with 225kw at 5800 rpm and 400nm at 1200 - 5000 rpm. This is before we fit the BMW Performance Engine package giving it 250kw and 450nm i would say at the price we paid it is one hell of a car. As you have said the DCT is so good to use and along with the Factory covered Launch Control feels like 1000nm. 09 had the push pull dct did't it. Whats it like?

I do agree on a new car yes and this is why i would not pay 145000 for a new one over a GTR. I should have said but the car is MY11 but 2010 ex Demo with 1500km and trust me we got it at the 100000 mark not the 140000 mark they are on car sales for. So resale will be alot better then most. Also i was compairing the cost of the 2012 GTR we want to the amount we paid for the 2010 my11 335I. Also M-Sport DCT makes a difference to resale as it will be worth more then the standard auto 2008 models. Be interesting to see... Sorry about the confusion...

So after a little while out of the performance car market we thought it was time to try something different. We wanted a fairly new car so went looking at the 2012 GTR which we love but just did't want to spend that much yet and well lets be honest in two years they are a much better price. The 2011 infinity G37 from europe was another one but 75000 landed and no turbo or manual like option was still not ticking all the boxes. So we have jumped over to a car that is so different but still powerfull and what a Joy to drive. It is a My11 BMW 335I M Sport with pretty well all the options and in the best choice of colour Black. Perfectly matched with a Dual Clutch Transmission that feels pretty well the same as a GTR on changes and downshifts. Well more chat later I will throw up some pictures now. Sorry for the quality of the pictures i will upload some better shots through the week, just been so busy and only took these tonight. It's no GTR and trust me it is next (After driving this though it will probley be next to a new M3 if they change back to a straight 6 turbo or the new M5 Motor) but it sure is one awsome machine to travel long trips and not have a sore back and just make most cars look with shock when it leaves them behind. So any ways hope you like. :-)

:whistling:lol Ummm sorry... Is this a runny poo or constipated... Helps with the diagnostics... SORRY HAD TO SAY IT...

Just thought i would throw this up for those that have not seen it. Seems that the theme park they built in 2007 at the Ring never got full private funding and now the EU wants it money back.. With a bit of luck and due to it's history and use by car manufactures i am sure someone will bale it out.. I have attached the article from CarSales.com below and in PDF form. Nürburgring facing closure One of the world's oldest and most famous race tracks, the Nürburgring, is facing closure unless hundreds of millions of Euros of debt are repaid Is the world-famous Nürburgring facing closure? According to European reports, the 21km Nürburgring race track, which is regularly used by car and motorcycle companies to test prototypes of their upcoming models and many weekend warrirors, is facing closure due to outstanding debts. The legendary Nürburgring originally opened in 1927, and was nicknamed the 'Green Hell' by famous F1 driver Jackie Stewart, but the decision to upgrade the motorsports complex in 2007, with a rollercoaster theme park, hotel and other facilities, seems to have backfired. The capital used to fund the project was supposed to be from private investment but the Government ended up fitting the bill, and with the GFC taking its toll on European coffers, the EU wants its almost €400 ($523) million back. The theme park is alleged to be unpopular. There is a possibility that the motorsports complex could be shut down or its facilities pared back in the future if an alternative is not found, and for the time being maintenance is expected to drop and while entry prices rise. Arguably Germany's -- if not the world's -- most famous racetrack, more and more car manufacturers used their 'Ring lap times to spruik their high performance products over the past half decade, a practice that may soon come to an end. On certain days the public can pay a nominal fee to do one lap around the Nürburgring on their motorcycle or in their car, but if the issue isn't resolved in the mid-term future, the only way the public will be able to experience the Green Hell will be on the Playstation and Xbox. There is currently a groundswell of public support to keep the Nürburgring open to the public, via Gopetition.com and several Facebook pages have also emerged.
