I was talking to a friend that was doing that, and he said that it got patched?
I wouldn't have a clue if it is patched or not, sorry bud.

Funny i mentioned it yesterday, but i got my new copy of GT6 in the post today, so i guess you guys will be seeing a lot of me againCurrently in the process of updating..
Whilst i'm waiting, may as well ask now rather than later, what is a good way i'm gonna be able to get money straight away? Because i'm a little behind..
Lucky you have a reason for doing good in school.
And with thinking about what im trying to work towards with both of the cars just makes me think, I'm going to be spending most probably 20k if not more on the R31 before I will think it's track ready and with the Volvo with how much parts cost for it plus how anything I want done to it would have to be 100% custom made it end up being stupidly expensive.
And at the end of the day is it really going to be worth it?
Because the R31 could be ****ed in the first time I take it out on the track and then it's like what now? There goes however much money of replaceable parts and labor that went into that.
Thing is I don't want to buy a car that already has this and that done to it.Dude you are kidding yourself If you think of spending 20K on an r31 save that cash man and import a track car from japan for 10K completely ready for the track. Use the r31 as a starter car get it drivable and use it on the track don't waste money on it. There is so many options out there don't get bummed out about it R31 does not have to be road worthy just pass the scrutineers at the track any experience at the track is going to be experience. I don't know the full story bro but from experience with cars they are always drain on the piggy bank and an R31 to me aint worth that money. Just an example I looked at an 180sx with a rb25 for $4000 ono unregistered add $10000 to that and you have a great track car.

I don't plan on going all out with it, **** knowing me it won't be "done" until im like 25 or something and I'm okay with that.You can't really expect to go all out, so early. Your only what 19? Wait till you get a good paying job, cut down to two cars. A daily, and the project car. These things take time and money, if you wamt to do them right. Also when you put in that kinda money into those cars. THERE IS NO GOING BACK. You have to keep powering through, life is a risk, this is just another. If I was you, the brick and the Fairlane would go for a EF civic (cheap and economical) and then what ever you fancy from your budget. Plus if your going LS1, then shouldn't be a worry. There is no abundance of parts here for them, and they are quite bulletproof. Imagine the first start of your R31, a whole lot of smoke. It shakes the chassis abit, everytime you give it a squirt, you feel the car tilt a tad, and the electrifying LS sound showing the flaws of modern car alarms. For me thats motivation, thats what I do to keep my drive and determination.
As to what Drifta-AJV said, i see your point. Its cheap and it done for you, but then again. Going over weld done in its "modification" can you say you did that? Its the sense of achievement that we get when everytime get in a car, thats what we all want. But sometimes its not so obvious, a car to me should make me smile with every tap of the throttle. Thats what building a car for me is like, the sense of achievement.

And I know with putting money into cars there is no going back, already been there when I put about 10k into a VL and it ended up being unregistrable among other things.
And I really can't scrap the Fairmont and go with something smaller because I'm not a small guy at all plus all the EF Civcs around here are full of rust and I have a thing against rust even in a daily beater.
I get that feeling when I start it up still even though it's just a RB30 with straight extractors and a slight cam.
No offence, but start saving up for an education, a house... When you have a well paid job, maybe than you can think about spending even 3k on a car.
21k, is something I wouldn't even spend on a car and I have had quite a bit of track experience. :s It's a solid waste of money, nothing more. :s
Alot of guys i know, regret spending so much on their cars.. But it seems to be a trend, to build a car and sell it for a deposit on a house.
Yeah I do, from the few different LS cars I've been in or driven they have put a much bigger smile on my face then any other car I've been in.So ask your self? Do you really want that LS? Or not? From what you just said I think you don't.
Honestly I've already spent more than that on car's already. Like at the moment I've got atleast 2-3k worth of car parts sitting around my computer desk.No offence, but start saving up for an education, a house...

But it's all part of what people want to do, some people want to get married some don't. Some want to own a house, some don't and then there are the people who want to spend XX amount of money on cars then there are the people who just want a car to get them from A to B.That's why they are called trends, and not common sense... ^^

Its dead money mate Im 31 have had a few cars in my time the value you see in your car is never the value someone else sees in it. I totally agree with your comment about the satisfaction of doing mods and being proud of them but my point was I guess is what are you doing it for I would rather build my car while gaining experience on the track and let my car grow with me as in the better driver you become the more beneficial your mods are going to be. What I was also thinking was he dosn't need to have that much money to get started his interest in keeping the project going while still driving will always be more than just a car sitting in the driveway or garage.👍
I remembering my parents watched something about gaming addictions too and they pretty much said that I would only be able to play for a hour or two a week, my response good luck with that.ugh... My parents are just ghey after year 10. After seeing some feature on gaming addictions, i can't even play for a hour. FML.. Honestly don't have anything to do, as i live 45 min away from JZX. Studying is getting ******* annoying and boring. Tried to fix the cog in the falcons door lock actuators. But i can't get the door card of because of ONE RUSTY SCREW in the little pocket where your fingers can go. -_-
@Stavingo,
Yes it does but have you tried tandeming with them?
If you try to lead with them they just sit there and ignore you, also if you try to chase they either leave the track or start abusing you, sometimes even both.
If they actually wanted to be a decent drift team they'd drift, but no first thing on the agenda lets piss off another team because we can't move on from the past...
But what would I know right, 'I'm in a team that's been around for how many years now that still needs to learn their place and respect others.'
A quote from RB30.
The quote would be longer but the only other words used are 🤬,🤬,🤬 and 🤬.![]()
Well show them out with some GTP judges, no more running away from them showdowns

With like getting a education I've honestly given up on the Education system that Australia has and that started at the end of Year 10 because they told me that even though I had grades that where far past the standard that I'd have to redo the whole year because I had missed alot of days but I only missed alot of days because I was sick alot and I got bullied pretty much everyday that I was there and they wouldn't do **** about it and when I tried to do something about it nothing happened.

I know that 90% of cars don't hold there value at all and modified cars hold there value even worse but can you never expect someone to pay the ammounts that you did for set things.With the crash of the real estate market, what I'm about to say isn't completely true, but it will be again in a year of 8, maybe 10.
Cars, will (nearly) ALWAYS become worth less over time. (Except really rare Ferrari's etc.) You can put 100.000 Dollars in them, people will never pay you the full amount of work, and expenses you put in. With properties, (normally) their value increases over time.
