Basically for about $30K + 7K joining fee you get 10,000 points or 10,000km to drive pretty much every performance car out there. Cars are grouped into five tiers with Ferraris and Lambos in the top. With a max of 10,000 points you could use the top cars for around 60 days a year... remember a lot of u guys only drive your cars on weekends. Thats a different supercar every week. Go down to the lesser catregories and you get even more days.

New GTR will be in, Lotuses, Murcielago roadster, Audi R8.. Bentleys, AMGs.. U name it they got it.

Now factor this. Say you buy an HSV for 70K.. that will depreciate at least $20K in the first year. Buy one of these luxury cars and you looking at more. If you have the money and you dont drive everyday.. this could actually be a worthwhile deal.

Thoughts?

hahah you know what, it might just be worth it, if you are a high earner. In fact, just join for a year and sample all the super car in one year.

the down side is you don't own the car

the up side......you can drive it like it's stolen and someone else can do the maintenence work.

pretty intteresting idea

    • But it's much better to use a freedom unit that has four different possible meanings...
    • I would try messing with friction modifier to see if it smooths it out.  Just keep adding more until it stops chattering or grabbing quite so much. If you haven't changed the gear oil in a long time you may as well start there too in case that has anything to do with it. You might want to also verify the initial torque is set to the lowest setting too. Requires popping out one of the CV axles first but that's not too bad. Once you're sure the preload is set to the lowest you can try adding an ounce at a time of friction modifier until it feels right to you.
    • It is possibly 55 degrees for the Nismo version. I had a look through the manual and the stocker has a breakaway torque of 2.5 to 3.5kgm. Supposedly the Nismo LSD goes down to 5kgm when worn in but it is pretty grabby even with very little throttle. Worse when cold. So I guess you have three things. 1. Shims. 2 Friction plates 3. Cams Would think shims would be the easiest but Ive no clue how many tenths of a mm shim thickness change equals how many kgm torque. Also not sure if the Nismo friction plates are similar/different to stock or if they are the most of the source of the diff being angry. Think I can write off the Nismo rebuild kit for the standard diff as not being what I want.  
    • Yeah, it was a bit of confusion with me, I rang and asked if they had a boot for a soft top, and then the paint shop when they rang and were asked if it had a hard top on it, which it does, just not a PRHT....LOL Meh, whilst frustrating for all concerned it isn't a war stopper and should be a thing of the past in a week or two In other N/A related news, car is booked in at the end of the month for the cams, springs, retainers, harmonic balancer and retune  I might even pull the lazy arse card and get them to do a full service on it whilst it is there
