Hey Andrew, is this car still for sale?

Hey, any chance this is still for sale with the RB25DET? If yes, got any photos & current price?

Carsales link: http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/privat...KGV&trecs=1 Took the best part of 10 seconds to find... but yes should've been included in original post.

Hey mate, can you post some more photos please? Thanks

Is the car engineered and registered with the RB30DET? Does anyone know if one should expect much trouble from VicRoads bringing a car of this spec to Melbourne? Can you legally register an R32 with RB30DET in Victoria?

Hi Johnspec, I don't know about the exact cable being sold on eBay but it looks very similar to one I bought for a friend recently. These guys are based in Adelaide and make a USB cable that plugs into the Consult interface: http://www.plmsdevelopments.com/consult_if.shtml The list of supported vehicles is available here: http://www.plmsdevelopments.com/consult_vehicles.htm My mate has a late 90s Maxima and used the PLMS cable successfully to detect a knock sensor fault. Whether it's suitable for proper tuning work I have no idea. Cheers

Thanks guys, I asked for feedback and I've certainly got heaps... Scathing, the Paradise Lost article is interesting, cheers for the link - food for thought.

Yeah well that's probably the way to do it. Obviously if things turn out so that a minute after a new drive is posted someone reports it and wants to have it taken down it won't be sustainable, will it. But this remains to be seen. Interesting views. I'm starting to think that perhaps the focus and branding of the site needs to be adjusted more towards the casual "Sunday driver" rather than the serious enthusiast. Even if the site just listed every Great Ocean Road in the world i.e. good drives everyone already knows about rather than the "hidden gems" that people want to keep to themselves, I think it would still add value. Or maybe you guys are right and it is a stillborn idea altogether.

LOL, that's an excellent opening line right there Thanks for the comments, criticism is good. I've actually got similar feedback from few other people as well, there's concern that publishing nice drives will increase police attention and potentially "ruin" the drive. I'll probably be shot down for this one but as I posted on another forum, I'm not sure if increased police attention is such a bad thing. The whole point of Spiritedd is to enjoy driving nice roads in a good car within the legal limits - we definitely don't want to encourage "hooning". This said, I think there's two things that can be done to address this concern: 1) don't post up drives you don't want to share in the first place and 2) a feature to "report" drives that shouldn't be on the site at all (for various reasons). We'll certainly be looking at the reporting side of things as the service gains momentum. Good question - I think some of the revenue would have to come from partner/sponsorship/advertising deals just like on many car forums. I wouldn't expect end users paying for this type of service anytime soon. The main point of difference to your standard "post your favourite driving roads" threads all over the internet is that Spiritedd takes the exact same information and makes it more visual. I think it's a lot easier to assess a drive when you see it on a map as opposed to just reading the itinerary and description in plain text. The other key feature is proximity search i.e. easily finding drives that are near you, something that is not so easy to do using keyword-based search. The other thing about Spiritedd is that it's not only meant for us hardcore car enthusiasts with modded cars who live and breathe the 'scene' but rather for everyone who enjoys driving for fun. I know it's a stretch and it's possible that this audience definition is too broad and it just won't work ... remains to be seen I guess Thanks again for the (humbling) feedback guys!

Hi all, this my first post here but I've been fairly active at the LS1 forums over the years. I'd like to share something the company I run has been working on recently to get your feedback on it. (This is a repost from LS1, hope you don't mind. Moderators, if you feel this is an inappropriate topic for the SA forums feel free to remove this post. I don't want to step on anybody's toes.) I like my cruises and weekend drives just as much as the next enthusiast. I work on the web and had this idea last year for an online service where you could post and share drives for the benefit of the wider driver community. We have just launched the first public beta: Spiritedd - Inspiring drives for spirited drivers Here's a screenshot: There's limited content on the site as yet but I hope you get the idea. I'd really appreciate your feedback: - What do you think of the concept? - What's good and bad about Spiritedd in its current form? - What would you change, and why? - Would you use this yourself? Thanks heaps in advance! Cheers, Jussi Ps. Here's a blog post explaining the background in a bit more detail. Disclosure: I am the designer behind the Spiritedd site. We are also looking at ways on how to commercialise the service in the medium term - the plan is to always provide free service for end users but sponsorship, advertising or other revenue will be necessary to cover ongoing development, maintenance and other costs.
