GLRNET on here has a Varis lip, looking at his car fitment looks a bit better, but nothing between them really so could be genuine.

Exchange rate not as good as it used to be... quite a few for sale at the moment on eBay

Loving the blue one you linked...

Whole sub forum on brake options, quite a few recent discussions also https://www.350z-uk.com/forum/53-brakes/

Modded G35s look great good stuff

I have read a few stories on the BDRC decision and ultimately it seems that if they are losing money then why continue? They are a business at the end of the day and it appears that many other tracks on the F1 calendar receive huge government subsidies to host the event whereas they receive nothing from the UK government which makes profitability difficult (and pricing high).

Handy to know if you are losing boost thought mate, I would keep at least the gauge! If you rip them out, make sure you dont leave the Ts in the vaccum lines unplugged lol

I would say keep the boost controller, you can always set it to run standard boost so effectively its running as stock and you have the option to run it higher if required. I would keep some aftermarket boost measurement in there though, the standard dials on the R33 for measuring boost are shockingly poor (HDev fitted the boost gauge to my R33 and it read somewhat different to the 18 year old one sat in the instrument cluster!)

Also spotted one on Campsite H parked near me, private plate...

Sold - thread locked

Got an email from PB this morning saying they had disabled my account haha

Are you the Gaz on the forum with the lovely red 300zx? With the BBS style wheels? I was hunting a 300zx a couple of years back and found nothing but rust buckets so gave up and bought a Celica GT4 in the end!

Would make sense, those are the ones that are most likely to want to hang on to their images...

At a guess I had a couple of hundred pictures on there?

My images still seem active and fine, although havent actually logged in since the P500 business started up - maybe it initiates this when you log in?

Great price on the rear lights

I think this thread has run its course for me, thanks for the comments Davey, interesting to hear how the mind thinks of someone who is quite involved in one of the worlds many religions. For me my religion will continue to be the 3S-GTE

I don't really need to spend my life worrying about the meaning of life, I believe I do have meaning though and my friends and family I am sure would say that I do. I genuinely love my life, I will carry on doing what I do and discover new things, do I need a mystical being whose only evidence of being in existence is a book to believe I have value on this planet? Not really no. Dave I appreciate your beliefs but find it sad that you feel that anyone that believes otherwise upsets you and that they are chasing a "false messiah" - does religion not teach tolerance and acceptance?

Nope. Are there things I personally want to achieve, yes. So, does there have to be a meaning to life?

Does there have to be a meaning to life?

Those are physical attributes that sit in line with development - then you think about peoples personal motivations and desire, drive and will to succeed. All these means thousands of things come together to create our ability to do something. Messi is a player who has scored very high in pretty much all the thousands of attributes that come together to create what we are, it appears to make him gifted, but I don't think there is some mystical 'thing' that has said he should be a fantastic football player. This really comes down to the crux of what you believe in, if you believe a player is 'gifted' then you are effectively believing in a system much like Davey does (and nothing wrong with that). If you think about it nearly all of us are religious to a degree, how many of us genuinely believe in 'luck' - effectively an unproven mystical 'thing' which apparently some people have more than others

Define "gift" ?

How do you know? Have you totted up track time, money spent on trainers, who did he train with, what were his formative years like? Did he have a storng team backing him growing up, did he have good recoveries from when he failed? Thats what I mean, tiny margins. I am sure if Lewis Hamilton spent his formative years bumming around he wouldn't be the driver he is now. Messi is not ten times better than every other player, he is probably 5% better but thats all you need to be seen as the best. I was at Wimbledon watching Djokovic play yesterday, probably one of the best players of all time. The score would make it look like he breezed through the game but he played at around 95%+ of his max potential pretty much all through the game, the second he dropped to say 90% the other guy suddenly came back into it and the game threatened to sway. As you can tell (!) I disagree, I think in general sportsman who succeed do so through dedication, hard work, self discipline, commitment and practice. I think it would be unfair and quite frankly inhumane if a magical hand tapped a baby on the head and gave that child an upper hand on the rest of the human race - and would be a bit weird that god feels the need to produce a British championship F1 driver as part of his rounds each day...

Some horses run faster than others, same with dogs racing? Pro footballers need elite training over the young years of their life - some countries do it better than others (look at teenage brazilian, argentinian, german players vs young English players in terms of the last 30 years) - its clear youth development in the UK is not as good as elsewhere for reasons that are not divine, they are manufactured as horrible as it sounds. There are probably hundreds of people out there that could be as good as Messi if they had the opportunity, training and commitment but they chose to do something else - hell some of them may have never kicked a ball in their life. Its interesting though sport, Messi makes other players look normal, but you have to put it into a relative spectrum - margins in pro sport are tiny, and even a tiny advantage can turn you from a great player to the best player. Think about the 100m sprint, being 0.01 second faster than the man next to you separates you from being the best vs not being the best. And better training facilities and understanding of the body has enabled us to go faster, higher, further than ever (Russian doping aside!) - pretty much every athletic world record has been set in the last 5-10 years.

See I would have to disagree here, the bible is full of theory filling gaps. God is a theory (as no one has ever proved he exists) and fills the gaps in a similar way Hawking might theorise around black holes using mathematics and extrapolated modelling and the like. In terms of the Ark, I think that given many writings around the globe at the same time make no mention of the world flooding, that the likely scenario was a combination of a big localised flooding event, a guy with a boat, a few local large farmlands with animals and someone documenting it in a way that made it sound a lot more exciting than it actually was.
