Beni supras are f**kin gay go to the supra forums

I can't wait to proove you guys wrong once I eventually save enough to buy a Supra haha.

ive got a 34R thinking of getting a 911 GT2 and you suggest a supra?....

what type of response were you expecting benji? haha

Lol, yeah but not just any Supra though, its Smokey's RB26 Supra which was made famous in Option dvd's etc.

If you like 911 and like track then go buy a 911 GT3 Cup car. They aren't as expensive as you might think, quite easy to maintain, and I don't think there is an easier way to lap a couple seconds off V8 supercar pace.

Supra- overweight and made for wealthy businessmen.

Supras only weigh about 20kg heavier than R33 GTR/R34 GTR.

You can easily minimise the weight of them.

Plus they were pretty successful in the JGTC series in Japan.

Orido "The Rodeo King" pilots a 500hp Supra for his daily driver.

Really?...

i thought a GT3 was a club/race version of the carrera and the GT2 was a club/race version of the Turbo.

The turbo being far quicker than a carrera, i would only assume a GT2 would be far quicker than a GT3.

I thought the body setup between the GT2 and 3 would be similar, but the GT2 has the bigger rear end and wheels and more power etc...

I dont know heaps about the the GT3, but thats just my thoughts.. may need to do some more research ha

Ah, your missing what I've said all along. Gt3 CUP car. It's the factory made race car to compete in the various one make series round the world. They make a road going version of the gt3, but the race version is obviously more hardcore. Go to my105 and look up gt3 cup cars. Obviously it's race only, can't be road registered. There are 996 and 997 versions, and you can pick one up cheaper than the Gt2. It's a trailer to track car, but they are the reason wtac bans rear engine cars, otherwise they'd win everything.

ahh right ok..

yea thats fair enough, not looking for an all out track car though. more just a fun weekend car that would see the track here and there..

and as road going ones go, i believe, in the 996 range anyways, the gt2 is faster than the gt3, but not hugely. but i like the idea and styling of the gt2 over the gt3 (always loved turbo cars).

Okay....I am getting excitement quivers...

Why?

Well because the rear pads arrived today from the UK

soo brakes are going in tomorrow!!!!

(RDA Slotted Rotors, EBC greenstuff pads, New hardware kits, new silicone caliper hoses).

=D

Why the f**k would you order pads from the UK when you can get them local?

Good stuff benji, but i would throw the silicon brake line hoses in the bin. I beleive heat in the brake area will be to high and will potentially cause the hoses to soften - there only rated to ~100deg

Braided lines or stock rubber in that area.

They must have been out of stock in Aus....

Either that or they were cheaper from the UK (as thats where theyre made)....

I didn't order them haha.

Thanks!

Yeah, not sure if theyre silicone...I think maybe theyre just rubber, not 100% sure.

I didn't get the order organised for the brakes.

Yeah, I think I must of got mixed up with the silicone hoses thing...I assume they'd just be rubber.

Not even sure whether they make silicone hoses for calipers..(dont think they do)

So I'll find out tomorrow.

Didn't know if you just ordered off the shelf silicon hose line or a kit...but yeah... never heard of anyone using silicon hose for brake lines.

    • With my pre/power I use a remote trigger cable(3.5mm jack each end). I turn tv on, it turns both on via ARC. Or, just the pre with the remote or its streaming software, turns on both. Not that difficult at all. Obviously,  you would also want to actually update/upgrade over other factors in your life(bills, family, other hobbies, etc)
    • Yeah, nightfall was very "meh". And I'm crap at pvp, so feels like everyone has cheats(it's just my lack of skill). Final shape has been pretty good. New raid and dungeon are pretty good. If you want to give it a go, probably wait until it's on sale. But, as usual, most of it feels very familiar. 
    • This morning was Kingswood's Microscopic Wars. It is the album's 10 year anniversary this year and we went to see them play the whole album as a special show a couple of months back. Was pretty spectacular.
    • Yeah I would like to try and get a ADM car to reduce issues with insurance. I've decided if I end up getting this car I will set it up to be a sleeper build, leave it looking stock/dad spec on the outside I wonder if you can just drop in the 400r/Red/Z ECU or better still use a flashing tool to copy the map off one. Backup the factory map and then flash the 400hp cars onto the 300hp cars ECU?
    • Nah, yeah, nah. Speakers have a nominal impedance of 8 ohm that looks more like 6.4 ohm when measured. The receiver's amplifiers (all channels) are all rated to 6 ohm (I think, it's been a long time since I cared). The real problem is that many modern class D amps have aggressive protection circuitry that cuts off the fun if they think too much current is being drawn. And with my speakers having series crossovers, as opposed to more typical parallel crossovers, and big TL enclosures, they can certainly dip down to lower impedances at some frequencies and that easily triggers the protection. Pioneer receivers are somewhat famous for it, but even Denon, Onkyo, et al, all have many complaints against them across various models. It only does it when listening to music at high levels. You have to be putting your ears at risk to do it. But sometimes I want to do that. If I was serious about using it as a listening room I'd simply upgrade the amp for the front pair to a nice Rotel or something, and just use the receiver for signal handling and processing - although that would be a bit of a pain in the arse too. Have to switch on more shit, pre-amp volume vs main amp volume, etc etc.
