It's hard when most of the time the journalists are lazy and don't research/know themselves. A sad side effect of the world we live in today

My parents had a 300ZX Z32 as well, awesome cars, horrible to work on under the hood however. I think their history of Z ownership (from the 240 all the way to 350) inspired my love of Jap cars too and lead to me owning an R33 GTR.
There's something about mid 90's to mid 00's Jap cars that hold a special place in my heart
I had a R32 GTR. Without a shadow of a doubt the most hateful vehicle I have ever possessed. Everything went wrong, it handled and braked like shit. The engine was incredible so some day I will place one in a Morris Minor and enjoy the sole bright spot that car had to offer. Ideally I'd like to buy back that specific car so I can slowly cut it to pieces with tin snips but I think it got scrapped which made me smirk. Sorry you had that experience! However the 32's are getting long in the tooth now and were always underbraked apart from the VSPEC2's that came with the Brembo brakes standard. But yes, the RB26 is a beautiful engine, second only to the 2JZ in my book. Hopefully if BTC keeps doing well I'll end up owning a 32 and 34 as well. Don't have as much love for the 35... I appreciate it but it's way more reliant on electronics than I like; but bloody fast! I test drove an R33 GTR. Nice car but the dealer was dodgy. Odometer misaligned... Do you find yourself attracting young men at the gas station instead of young ladies ? Truth be told it's an even mix of ladies and boys haha. But that's ok; I have a wife and didn't buy the car to impress the opposite sex. Spent plenty of money modifying the thing over the years too, now makes over 600hp at all 4 wheels and is a very satisfying and fun car to drive. Yeah it's been a money pit and if I spent the money that I spent on it towards BTC I'd be long retired but hey, we all need our hobbies |

Biggest cost is tyres. Easily chewing through 6 sets in a session. I have owned a couple of "nice" cars. A Merc CLK 55 AMG, a C32 AMG and a Lotus Elise 111R. Preferred the Mercs over the Lotus although the Lotus was fun on the windy stuff. Also had a couple of bikes GSXR and a CBR but gave those up after realising that they are not meant for mowing grass! One thing is for sure... motorsport ain't cheap! |

Why people now asking for correction, when BTC ba k then already reached 9k before and correct around $7500 and now correction again? Hahahahaha  . People always wish they bought more at a lower price |

That's my hope! Thank you  It was a big shame when I lost the account, especially considering the history/age of it; had some nice PM's in there too |

Legends thanks guys! Unfortunately I don't have an address I can sign but I do have access to the original email address that I used to make the account. However since it got hacked, they changed the link email address hence why a password reset doesn't work. Oh well let's see how I go. Thanks for the heads up though |

What is it with rally spectators? Begging to get ran over.  Is that a Lancia? Rally spectators are like rally drivers.... a little nutty  |

The Raspberry Pi 4 will be coming out with four USB 3 ports. Safe to say this may be a problem? A review of the prototype can be found on Youtube.
I think you'll find that's an April Fools joke. |

Windows builds are available as well

Awesome stuff! Can't wait till the second batch opens and I can get one to Australia!

Getting more and more excited, these are looking great!

Thanks guys, totally understand about warranty support; my distance makes it hard anyway for these kinds of things. Anyone in Australia want to try to do a group buy together?

This is so kick ass! Love your work man. I'm currently in the US on holiday and would love to purchase one when I get back. I live in Australia, any resellers looking to ship my way?

I just dusted off my GPU miner, installed a fresh Windows 10 OS, installed GrinPro miner, and pointed it to GrinMint. My GPUs are set to stock clocking, no modifications. How am I doing? Any config settings you guys can recommend will be much appreciated. TIA  Try BMiner, I seem to get better results from it |
