I know the feeling. Expensive glasses are expensive.

Zane knows the feeling too... He paid half of mine... That's how much he loves me aaaand didn't want me driving around without them...

So much talk about brakes in the last two weeks

We are trying to differentiate between Nick and you. In the red corner: The one with brains who can stop and in the orange corner: Gat-Ton with an X.

With my current setup i dont think "Brain" and "can stop" should be used

Lol! Who are they by?

learn to buy your glasses online rather than through the rip off stores here locally, a pair of glasses is not worth $500

friend has got 7 pairs from them, and paid less than $300, if they break who cares as they are only $40 shipped for a decent pair of prescription glasses, you just scan your glasses prescription and they make the lenses to suit.

The lenses are the most expensive part of glasses I have found, mind you I have stupid multifocals...

Actually, a pair of glasses can be worth $500. When you consider the fact that they are created using proper design elements and actually shift a lot of the normal paradigms. This level of creativity and intellectual property is worth money. You pay for the fact that 2-5 years later (even less in this day and age), someone will copy it, make it out of cheaper materials and proceed to sell it at a fraction of the cost. Hiring top level designers, manufacturers and professionals generally costs a lot of money. A lot of designs aren't successful. Shipping and distribution over here isn't cheap. Labour in first world countries isn't cheap.

For major peices, I will always buy genuine - not necessarily from a retail store here though. Things are cheaper in the states or UK if you know where to look however, buying hooky products is a no go for me. I buy brand name because of quality, R&D and presence - not for poser status. If you look in my wardrobe, you can see which suits are worth dollars and which are the cheapies (of which there is only 1).

So in short, a pair of glasses can be worth $500. A watch can be worth $10k. And if we want to encourage creative minds to constantly develop new shit for our consumption, we shouldn't bicker over a few dollars.

    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much

    • 😜 hopefully we get this instead of a new R36 GTR due to recent financial problems at Nissan. Nismo to sell a complete kit with RB26 and driveline. All starts making sense (ok maybe not) once the Nissan Leaf's (Leaves?) with stuffed EV motors/batteries hit the market cheap
