People who think the yellow speed recommendations are the actual limit.

Radio traffic reports that fail to tell you if the 'truck broken down in the right lane of the Tonkin' is South or North bound, yet still squeeze in an ad for a Phuket holiday or a cordless drill in the middle of the report!


I hate those window washers with a passion, I feel like Tazering their Adam's Apple when they put that filthy shit on my car! Filty loser bums.

Give the gtr a couple of years and the gearbox will be a fast moving spare part.....

Are the GTR R35 gearboxes that fragile?

People that take half an hour to accelerate from the traffic lights, and then a further hour to slow down for the next set.. (I make a point of cutting these people off).

In street applications they are fine. But on track you must keep an eye on the temperature of the oil and also hard launches, especially with hot tyres.

PPG have been doing a gearset for them for over 12 months if that is any indication.

i notice the my2011 upgrade has some additional cooling for them aswell so maybe that is a small admission by nissan that they are not so good.
