Pulled up in the Ralliart next to a 91 lancer tonight at the lights after it had pushed and swerved it's way through traffic like a dick...

It had the Panther body kit and stickers all over the back saying 'got boost' 'Speed machine' plus others...

The young P platers gave me a look and revved their stock N/A chatter box...

I just started to laugh at them and kept repeating as I was laughing... 'Got boost, no seriously do you have boost'

They did not seem pleased lol ;)

Good to see nissan in v8 stupid cars

But its So restricted to match up to ferd and sloden and not even close to a street car

Even holden and ford run old crap for engines not the newer blocks and heads

Give me gt1,2,3 cars instead like England runs

Or play the game like old days , run what you bring and they put you in a class with pretty open rules till they cant beat you , then they ban you from the class like poor losers

Nascars even worse , big babies cant race in rain or on tracks with a few holes or dips , rarely a twisty track either

No such thing as a GT1 Nissan these days series died out as too expensive, GT2 never made, GT3 were too unreliable and liked to sit back and BBQ each race.

New Spec GT3 car for 2013 hopefully Nissan stop acting like spoilt princesses and actually make and sell them... limited to 10 cars what a F'ing joke Nissan your not a fancy rare supercar you pride yourself on the GTR being the affordable hypercar so why make the race version a) sooo expensive ( one of the most expensive GT3 cars) and b) so rare and hard to buy?

also the all GT versions ( GT500, GT1 & GT3) are NOTHING like the street car... I would say about as far away from the street car as V8's are ( well maybe not quite that far)

Oh well Rant over, will enjoy seeing the GTR will be schooled by the Bentley GT3 when it starts competing at the end of the year, not that I am biased ;)

Just do the $5 fix (actually about $12 here) - fit an off-the-shelf central locking solenoid to replace the factory one. I did this last year & it works fine, and is much quicker & cheaper than the Nissan solenoid. I bought the solenoid from Jaycar.

But from what I have read from multiple people, if/when the aftermarket solenoid setup fails then you have NO access to your car. Period. Since you have to unhook the stock stuff, if the aftermarket connectors to the stock linkage come loose (and they always do after a period of time in aftermarket kits), then your car is locked shut fairly permanently - as you can't even open the door from inside the car if you climb through the boot. And you can't access it to fix it without opening the door. Go have a read on G35driver.com - there are dozens of horror stories.

Plus, I use my car for work, so an average day it gets locked/unlocked say 50 times - so the usage/wear and tear on it is significantly higher than a normal car.

For the sake of a couple hundred dollars then it will work perfectly for the rest of the life of the car (the newer units are redesigned internally and do not fail like the oem ones did) it is not worth the headache of ever having to fliddle with again imho.

    • 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.
    • yeah pretty much, stopped playing after lightfall, couldnt be bothered with the final shape...  ran that game into the ground for years... bit of a shame.. the  story was awesome. was playing a lot of trials but the hackers became tooo much, ruined the game.

    • For example, you’ll need this approval if: you’re a car enthusiast looking to import a specialist vehicle or an older car you want to bring your vehicle with you when you move to Australia you manufacture or import special purpose vehicles or a small number of trailers each year.       Tutuapp 9Apps
    • I reckon you are 100% right on the money. The only reason I bought Red Sport instead of the base VR30 is that I am investigating racing it in Production Cars, and they require you to run a (mostly) standard car....therefore knowing exactly what was in the RS spec was important to me and I paid the extra. Other than that, for sure I would have pocketed the $10k and spent them on mods instead. Plus the non-RS models are more likely to have had a nicer life prior. Just a warning though, mods always cost twice as much as they look like they will on paper BTW you should also consider the 400R imports, they are about the same price as a local RS but 5+ years newer. Of course that comes with the usual warnings about finding parts, unhelpful nissan dealers and finding insurance
