who the hell are you and where do you think you can come in with a comment like that.

I know the prices were the same.

i know the release dates were the same.

what no one knew was whether there would be a manual and i have TOLD you there wont be!

whats it to you anyway?

my moment in the TMS sun! I was there, and i wanted to tell you guys about it. Whats your problem with me?

Well someone has let all this get to them, haven't they??!

You went to the TMS, you had something to post about and Rich should just leave you be. The rest was pretty common knowledge. TBH, I couldn't care less who you think you are but you had real info that has a place in this part of the forum. I think you should take a breath before jumping down people's throats.

My comment about the rest of the world reading 90% of what you'd posted still stands though, champ.

yes I think a bit of lighten up is in order. you are both right, it was poor form to post what I did, but I thought it funny, and rather than keep my negative thoughts to myself I posted them. big deal, I made fun of your grab for glory. I thought it funny that you had this great 'scoop' emerge 4 days after the launch. in hindsight I should have giggled to myself and left it at that. yes it's all valid info and I can now accept that many people may not have known it. the reason I call it a grab for glory is if you really just wanted to share info you would have added it to any one of the number of suitable threads in the section. rather than starting 2 more of your own.

so I apologise for making fun of you adam. if you want me to remove it I will.

but heed this advice. learn how to take criticism with good humour, and think about what you say when you react. otherwise your stay on the forum will be a short one. 2rismo was defending you, and you just went nuts at him.

I think i might jump in here,

"but heed this advice. learn how to take criticism with good humour, and think about what you say when you react. otherwise your stay on the forum will be a short one. 2rismo was defending you, and you just went nuts at him."

Adam i wouldnt take this personnally, especially coming from Beer Baron. I also wouldnt accept his lame attempt at redeeming his integrity infront of members of this board. His attitude has always stunk. Especially towards newer members.

Ive had similar run-ins with him over turbo related posts; where he has been unquestionably incorrect and, i have corrected him yet he could not take my criticism with good humour either!

How hypocritical! I say let him stand on his high horse because atleast he doesnt fool us!

that doesnt sound like advice BB. That sounds like a threat. If you think your words dont apply to you as well, if i was you id stop and take a long hard look at myself.

dont just go around and scoff at what i post. Im making an effort here to be involved and all you and some others feel like doing is sticking the boot it. You come across as a know it all and thats a pet hate of mine.

And thanks Andrew, i wont take it personally. I just feel like my efforts have gone unappreciated... again.

Sorry admin, ill try to get the information on the forum faster next time.

your contributions are appreciated on the forum Adam... how its received is up to the individual.

i have to accept i cant please everyone, but thanks for the comment, funky.

LOL at the '5 minute very hot' girl.

I mean look at her nose :(

That Mitsubishi girl is something else though

sorry, thats the one i was talking about!

actually, i liked all of them..paper bag or not...

haha mitsubishi girl is the stuff dreams are made of and jail sentences are given for.

Winkeh... check out some of the stats:

Not wanting to fuel any fires here and i don't know anyone, but it must be said (i was following the thread post by post) it sounded like the convo the op had with the enginner was pretty exclusive and quite clear that a 6 speed manual GTR will not be released (ever) which is quite contrarary to 90% of what i've read. Not talking about the DSG coming to Australia or anything. I thought it was quite relevant.

whatcyutalkingabout shaun?

looks exactly like electrically actuated front drive to me, which is great news as far as being able to control it. hope the actuators can handle very high torque though

thanks for the pics adam

    • This lady loved her FD for 25 years!  https://www.topspeed.com/80-year-old-woman-donates-fd-rx-7-mazda/ My brother in law. He's nice enough to let me drive it whenever. He'll likely not see this, but I'll try: @r-is-for-fun got any pics?
    • Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365. Scan of a magazine with the black R33 from 1996: Wayback machine archived page from May, 2000: https://web.archive.org/web/20000529061027/http://www.emotion-r.co.jp/skyline.html Option magazine with a few photos from the Cockpit Tatebayashi booth at the Auto Salon from various years: 2002: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=154&image_id=3507 2003: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=137&image_id=3033 2005: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=116&image_id=1831 In 2008 Cusco website mentions that the Cockpit Tatebayashi ECR33 was displayed at that year's Tokyo Auto Salon: https://www.cusco.co.jp/event/2008/12/post_735.html As of 2021 it appears that the ECR33 demo car ended up being exported to Florida, USA: https://rmcmiami.com/inventory/1996-nissan-skyline-r33-cockpit-tatebayashi-demo-car-big-te06-turbo-endless-brakes-lsd-450hp/ And finally here's Google streetview of the Emorion R garage in 2023 which is amazingly not only still there, but the showroom is still full of various parts in stock and funishings, etc.: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ttyEAZdZLyzermyT9 Apologies for nerding out a bit. I used to love doing this 20 years ago on SAU and got a bit nostalgic for a moment... 😅
    • Try fabricating something like this and install it under the pedals? Not sure if it's legal or not....
    • Even though I have some pretty good (brand) ratchet ringies, I avoid using them to break open tight bolts. A broken ratchet is very annoying.
