Welcome Daniel! You should come along when we eventually organise a cruise. Oh and I might steal ur avatar...

Lol Sam.....let's see how the cops go first Thanks Beck, I'm seriously just so lucky I wasnt in my car though!! And Jamie I share your frustration on almost a daily basis. It's really just beyond a joke!!

Vettel was lighter to get a higher position, yet they pitted Webber first. If Webber was lighter he may very well have gotten pole... +1 for a dry race in Bahrain!

What about the R34 Z-tune? Has it been times around the N-ring? I thought they ran a pretty outrageous 1/4 time as well??

Yeah mate, I'm doing it tomorrow. I've had a check over of my bike and it all seems fine. Rode perfectly the rest of the way home as well. I think my back took most of the impacts!!

Ok, so I was riding home from work this afternoon on old torbul pt road, and it had just started to rain so luckily I was concentrating even harder than normal, when.... A f%king spastic in a semi trailer pulled out across both lanes of traffic and right in front of me as I was going around a bend. He should have been able to see me WELL before he even began to move, so he obviously WASN'T looking! So I was doing 80km/h (the speed limit) and my choice was either a head on with the truck, or to run straight off the road. I don't know how many of you guys have been on this particular road but going off it is NOT something you want to do. Obviously I chose to run off the road, and somehow I managed to stay upright and pull it up after hitting ridges, holes, bumps and god knows what else. After I recovered and got back to the road I noticed that the truck driver hadn't even stopped to see if I was ok....So i went after him and found him a bit further up the road. I was on the horn, giving him some not so kind hand gestures and trying to get him to pull over. No way was he going to stop. Anyway I stopped and recorded his rego number and am off to the police station first chance I get tomorrow. Scary stuff, and thankfully I was not in my skyline as I would have been hit without a doubt and quite possibly seriously injured. I know there are some good truckies out there, but I swear I have not come across one yet. It will be interesting to see what the police do about it. (If anything) Sorry to go on and on, but it was a pretty frightening thing to have happen!!

^^^ yeah what he said. That's what I was wondering as well. If you owned it legally down there and moved here can they do anything about it??

Lol only because he kept spinning round... and every time I saw kimi he was getting overtaken! I think his strategy had a lot to do with that though. And I rekon that schuey would have been waaaaaaay more competitive in that car than kimi or massa were (until massa's car stopped). Bring on Bahrain and go RBR!!

Sorry if I'm wrong... But what about a vipec ecu?? I know they can run an auto...

Awesome result for Red Bull! Best race in ages!!!! I'm a bit confused as to why they pitted Webber before Vettel though! Not favouring the young whippersnapper yet surely? LOL I just kept laughing at Lewy spinning round every 3rd lap. Lol top effort

LMAO :laughing-smiley-014:

Well there ya go, looks like they weren't speeding! I never read the article so I had no idea what actually happened. And aquaplaning is some scary shit. Especially at highway speed

Didn't you just answer your own question? lol I can't wait to get on a bigger bike!

yep, bloody oath they are. But they aren't sport shift auto's.

LOL, wtf is up there???

Plenty of crashes happen without speed, they call them accidents. Maybe they swerved to miss a dog? Who knows? But in saying that my guess is they were speeding...

I don't know that 13k is going to get you a 32 GTR, but you should be able to find a nice 33 gtst.

Id love to. Finding someone who'll take me is the hard part! lol

wrong? In your opinion maybe. It depends on what you want I think. What if your idea of fun is drifting? I'd still have a 35 GTR over pretty much anything else tho

I never said you did I just didn't want him to be confused.

LOL. It's the other way round mate. I've unfortunately owned a holden V8. I won't be doing that again, I learned my lesson. Get underneath a 10yo commodore and try n find something that doesnt leak, rattle, knock or clunk (unless its been repaired already). In my experience as a mechanic working on many, many of those 'things' I can say without a doubt that the jap stuff in general shits all over anything that holden or ford can produce. Just my opinion though...

Ok, I did say lets use an R34 as an example. Don't know where you're going to get a 34 GTR for 20-25k.... It's rather pointless comparing a 34 to a 32, ones a lot older than the other.

True that.

Well I wasn't just rambling either...I worked at 2 dealerships during my apprenticeship and then for a general workshop after that. And never did anyone I work with tell a customer to put 32psi into a sports car tyre. Anyway, I'm also sure your hilux is probably running light commercials, not road car tyres. I also put 50+ psi into those kind of tyres, but wouldn't recommend it to OH RB for his skyline... And I wouldn't class my tyres as 'lacking pressure'. They are wearing fine and the car uses about 11L/100km. So in the end, don't put 55psi into ur skyline tyres lol. If it were mine they would be up around 40, and monitor it from there.

I've just had a read through the first few pages, can't be bothered reading all of them though so I'm sorry if this has already been said! I keep reading that it costs a lot more $$$ to get a gts-t/gtt to compete with a gtr. And i totally agree with that as far as requiring mods. But.... Using the R34 as an example, a GTT costs what? 20-25k? And a GTR starts from what, 50k or more? So by my logic, you have 30k to spend on the GTT before you are more out of pocket than the GTR owner. And surely that would be one quick GTT? Thoughts?
