agreee with dan the man.. the monaro was exported to the uk well before the R8 and so on... according to top gear the r8 has since replaced the monaro in the uk market,

just what i have gathered from top gear.

also agree with topaz

australian or should i say american V8's arent much chop. getting bigger and bigger with minimal power out put increases.. where the euro v8 arent much bigger then 4L and much more powerful, clearly they are more expensive but thats got to be more to do with the car they come in more so then the technology and R&D in the motor themselves...

still want a big V8 tho.

'V8'culture seems to all about 1/4 times and HP bragging rights.

I'm not saying it sucks just it's a bit narrow and anachronistic. Like it's still the 60's.

I don't see much in the mags about handling and stuff, 'track' racing etc....hard to do in a car w/ a big block Chevy obscuring vision, a weight of 2 tons and a live axle I guess. :P It's all 1/4 times and HP, chrome, nasty alloy wheels etc

Still the sound of a big V8 does sound cool all spluttering and clattering at the lights....

I saw a honda with a huge sparkling graphic saying "Fast & Furious" across the windscreen, and another sparkly sticker along the side saying "Prelude" just today. Supercheap plastic looking rims.... f**king piece of shit.

    • Update Issues 5 (plus #4) - 10 After making a claim about issue #4's missing part, DeAgostini Japan sent a whole new issue #4 and it arrived about 2 weeks after that. That was back in early March. It took another 4 weeks to receive issues 5 - 13 though. This update is for issues 5 - 10. Ove the 5 issues the front left suspension and most of the engine have been completed. The quality of the castings and fit of the parts is quite good, it seems better than DeAgostini's BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the Fast & Furious 2 movie, which (to me anyway) doesn't seem to have as tight tolerances or quite as accurate castings.  Each issue has a lot of info about the 1989 - 1993 Skyline range and other Nissan models from that era, but the focus is on the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo and the various racing it did in Japan, Europe (Spa 24hrs) and of course Australia. I've included some text translated with Google Lens in some photos and will add to them if there's anything worth including. 
    • If it's for a SR20, make sure it's not the American Poncams, might as well call them Poocams. Had a set in a friend's car, all scuffed up after a few track days. Like the metallurgy Tomei USA used is junk. Went back to JDM OG Tomei Poncams, no issues till now.   Tomei USA is not the real OG Tomei.   Random rant over, fk the US of A, bunch of c u n t s. 
    • Most of the industry in North America either runs on Siemens or Allen Bradley. I have two redundant S7-1500's on my desk right next to me for simulation. Siemens has been losing ground though since Stuxnet, as cybersecurity is a big thing. In my line of work that is federally regulated, you must by law have a cybersecurity management program in place and its audited and inspected every so often.  I work with Emerson PLC's daily (RX3i's) and have done large biogas/refinery projects with their DCS's. Their PLC's are somewhat OK minus the way they do PLC redundancy (You have to download on both PLC's separately every time you make a change )  As for their DCS's... you'll be limited financially first before anything else stops you. Costs are exorbiant at roughly 10x what it would cost you to do with any other system (e.g AB PAC).  1990's, those suckers are brand new haha! Kraft-Heinz (An old client when I use to work for an ESP) still runs Siemens TI505 PLC's from the mid 80's. Ohh how I don't miss working with those... you could only do a certain number of online downloads until it's "Change" buffer would be full and you would then need to go offline to do a full download. There was no warning of when this was coming up and it generally would happen when you would go in at 2am to make changes before production -_-.     
    • Unfortunately, not only is that not the case, one of the main "Selling points" of safety over comms is they clearly state in writing that there's no need to segregate safety networks from non-safety networks. It always gets intermingled with everything else on an ICS/OT network.
