Lets take all the fun out of driving.

[themadscientist]

fast foward to the R37

Driver walks to car and says "door open". The car door flips open automatically and the driver gets in. the car reads the RFID chip in the drivers neck and adjusts seat for optimum ergonomic support accounting for the extra two pounds he has due to his midnight snacking on illegal doughnuts purchased from a seedy bodega. Pure uncut krispy kreme. Car makes report of potential illegal sugar and transfat consumption and fowards it to law enforcement before greeting the driver. "Good morning Dave".

"good morning GT-R" the driver replies. He continues "power up, drive to office". The car retracts it's electric plug from the garage floor and engages "D" to pull out of the driveway. The driver begins to read his paper and says to the car "GT-R, decaf skim milk latte with 1 unit of I can't beleive it's not sugar". The car begins to dispense the beverage into it's official GT-R mug while selecting government-approved popular music to play at a legal volume through the Bose acustimassive X-5000 stereo available only in the hi-fi spec 2024 GT-R.

As the car follows the road precisely equidistant from the edges of the road and at exactly 54 mph, "sport mode" would mandate 54.8, It's rear cameras target a strange white vehicle. The GT-R sends a request to the traffic sattelite for information based upon the plate number. The sattelite fowards the request to the government database. The supercomputers crunch the data and return the information back down the chain. The car scrolls through the data and modulates interior lighting to the perfect candlepower for reading the Wall Street Journal.

All that the database has on this car that is rapidly approaching is the make, model and owner. Apparently 1985 is under the cutoff date for mandatory ODB-6 compliance and this Skyline is that old. Some holdouts refuse to accept the demise of the internal combustion engine and in defiance brew their own ethanol at home and through a network of machinists and cottage-industry businesses craft replacement parts for these antique vehicles. They have no automation, many run hacked transponders that broadcast spoofed codes and do not record accurate operational data. They are a highway menace that good citizens fear.

The white car pulls up alongside and after passing cuts in front of GT-R 20 feet from the stoplight. GT-R immidiately applies perfect braking and traction control to slow itself while the gyroscopic cupholder makes millions of calculations per second to keep the latte perfectly balanced without a ripple. the driver, now preturbed instructs the car to respond, "GT-R agressive response level 2". The car flashes it's lights and beeps the horn twice.

The driver of the obsolete Skyline turns down his stereo to confirm he heard something. GT-R takes a DB measurement, compiles a citizen action report and fowards it to law enforcement "slipknot, unapproved entertainment at 8 times legal level". The driver smiles in his classic reflective rear viewing aparatus on the door and begins spinning his tires. The GT-R driver, now alerted looks away from his paper in horror as smoke, rocks and chunks of smoking rubber begin spitting from the spinning tires onto GT-R. "GT-R reverse"! he screams. The car replies, "unable to comply with that request as traveling against the posted direction of travel is not permitted". The $200,000.00 car is now covered with dirt and melted rubber. Satisfied the obsolete Skyline owner pops the manual power engaement control and the car rips across the intersection but not before flipping "the bird". An archaic aggressive gesture, now illegal, GT-R files another report.

haha that will be me one of the few who wont give up ther cars

[Dittoz7]

HAHAHA Great Read!

[xweav32]

did you make that up on the fly or did u find it either way its good.

[Joe]

dude seriously, we need to have beers. you think so much like me sometimes its scary

SAVE THE THIRD PEDAL!

[themadscientist]

did you make that up on the fly or did u find it either way its good.

I have a gnome that writes my stuff. Luckily he is not union.

[xweav32]

pay him under the table so thers no tax haha. whats its name?

[themadscientist]

He just goes by "gnome". I can't say his name right without gnome vocal chords and he got tired of me trying. He finally said, "dude, enough already. Just call me gnome man. I'll know you meant me. I mean seriously how many of us do you know?".I pay him in zingers and coconut rum. He likes coconut and drinks with umbrellas for some reason. Good pool player too, he just needs to stand on the table is all.

[xweav32]

awesome i bet hes a riot drunk. lol. do gnomes do tricks?

[Chaotic_Warlord]

These high tech cars they are coming out with are getting ridiculous. i wil always stand by Nissan but at the same time these AI features in cars are driving the prices through the roof, not because the technology is expensive, you can literally build an ECU for like 15 dollars if you buy the components in bulk. The programming is nothing if you know anything about it. The price is going up on these cars out of greed (by both the manufacturers and the dealers) and the cost to maintain these cars anymore. It costs repair shops thousands of dollars annually just to keep up with all the advances and the manufacturers refuse to let the average Joe work on his own vehicle anymore. hell you aren't even allowed to change your own oil without voiding the warranty... It's all just dumb, and that is why I will go out of my way to buy used before I'll buy new. The only thing a warranty is good for is for major service and even the dealership will go out of its way to make it look like the problem is your fault.

Just wait, computers and functional internet are literally a year or two away from being an option on production vehicles. Bluetooth is one thing, but to touch your center nav screen and surf the web at a red light is around the corner.

TMS keep in mind a lot of manufacturers have been putting secret black boxes in their cars for a couple years now so that accident investigators can get a real time analysis of what happened down to your speed and direction. this thing with the GPS in the new GTR popping a warning light is nothing new, Onstar is its evil big brother.

[xweav32]

i agree 100%. my parents took their 2000 explorer eddie bauer to the dealership because it runs like crap on a cold start on a cold day. they paid 70 dollars for them to give us 2 codes. a po171 and po174. the same codes autozone told us. its most likely a leaking intake gasket (fords are notorius for that). the dealership want 600 effin dollars to change a intake gasket. thats outragous. i told my dad to buy the gasket and we will do it oursleves. i opted to buy this nice little product to scan and clear my self all from my laptop. and it allows me to run analog gauges on my laptop all for cheap.

[Jookmasta]

not sure if it was said in the thread but at least it's not onstar....................

[themadscientist]

awesome i bet hes a riot drunk. lol. do gnomes do tricks?

Just one. They headbutt you in the nuts when you ask them if they do tricks. Gnomes have a big chip on their shoulder.

[xweav32]

haha lol thats a pretty big chip. heres that part btw http://www.kds-online.com/Shop...9dcac

Outside of a C6Z06 or C6ZR1, I've pretty much given up on the new stuff. Even then, for the money I could do a trick LS7 FD, and a built Supercharged C5 for less than one of them.

Too many car manufacturers are giving up the third pedal. Shame on them!

Edit: TMS's story rocked. I'm so the guy in the white old school GT-R.

[Dattebayo]

awesome i bet hes a riot drunk. lol. do gnomes do tricks?

I knew this would come in handy one day...

[Gold Digger]

You see, Mike owns an 85 Skyline. Mike would be the one tailgating the R37 GT-R. Mike would be the one doing a burnout, throwing rocks and melted rubber on said GT-R. Mike would be the one brewing his own homemade Hi-oc gas.

Mike is just crazy enough to do this, and he and must have a drink this weekend when I fly into town.

You name the place, I am buying.

This Thread Went Places...

Speaking of which, tuned mine Nissan ECU...with speed limiter removed!

All your GT-Rs are belong to us

*sighs* n00b. It's belonging. All your GT-Rs are belonging to us. Kids these days.

Edit: For the discussion at hand, I really don't find the big deal. The light on the dash doesn't shut down the motor, you just have to restart to get rid of it. If you want to race on the street or highway or wherever, just put it into track mode. It's no different than upping your boost on a traditional car. The fact that Nissan is giving the opportunity to drive the GTR like it was meant to be driven, and STILL fix things people are bound to **** up on a track if anything is encouraging to me. Not discouraging. The only flaw I've found so far with the GTR is the lack of a manual transmission. Hopefully Nissan offers it as an option later on down the line.

No they have not. GM started putting black boxes in cars in about 83/84. Since then there is a law requiring the manufacturer disclose the presence of the black box before selling the car. People say they didn't know about it, but so many people sign things with out reading them that you can not depend on a person's opinion with out seeing the paperwork they signed.

Wrong. Check it.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icVy7Ve6y6A

If any of you wanted to know, here si what the game should have said.

AD 2101― A war has begun. Captain: Tell me what on Earth has happened! Engineer: It seems someone has installed explosives unnoticed. Communication operator: Captain! We've received a signal! Captain: What!? Communication operator: Visual incoming on the main screen. Captain: You!? CATS: You seem to be fairly preoccupied, gentlemen? (with sarcasm) CATS: With help from the Federation Government forces, we, CATS, have taken over all of your bases. CATS: Before long, your ship will meet its end as well. Captain: It-It can't be...! CATS: I thank you for your cooperation. CATS: Cherish these few remaining moments of your lives. CATS: Ha ha ha ha ha... Communication operator: Captain.... Captain: I order all ZIG units to launch!! Captain: They're all we have left― Captain: ―to entrust the hope of our future... Captain: I believe in you, ZIG!!
