still living afaik....it even did 2 laps of brad's track yesterday

it lives! Brad....don't go 85kg for Neil, don't forget he has a weedy, girly body like yours, rather than the well rounded manly figures of people like Pete or myself

lol I'm more surprised at how much does work than the few things that don't! hope those screens do go in this week, I don't need bugs in my teeth. It could do with a wheel align too Brad Put a lightweight in the driver's seat for the cornerweighting.

2 more entries for Neil and I coming through tonight. 2 drivers, 1 car, so seperate sessions thanks. BTW we are staying in the cabins at the track the night before - anyone else thinking about staying there should contact the office to organise.

no, actually I didn't make it at all - I just saw you had posted it elsewhere. I was just surprised because it didn't work timewise. Those cars were already racing before the build date of the first aussie sold cars. It was also contrary to what another contact who was close to nissan at the time had told me. I reckon it would be damn hard to keep hold of all the details over time. Alan Heaphy last year was also either a little forgetful or chose to keep some things close....fair enough either way if you ask me!

sorry didn't see you!

I was very surprised by Fred's comment to you as the first race cars pre-dated the local cars by at least 12 months

Neil's only 19.....it's just been a hard 19 years

ACtually Schedule I of the CAMS manual (http://www.camsmanual.com.au/pdf/10_gen_req/GQ10_Schedule_I_Q411.pdf) covers off their requirements (and recommendations), but fundamentally the shoulder straps should be horizontal to the shoulders, and as short as possible The standard seat belt mounts are not OK according to CAMS because it is more than 40o downwards from the shoulders. Zeb, this is the 5th car we've built over 10 years, and the biggest thing I've learned is racing is incredibly hard on cars. Anything that is not 100% OK will catch you out sooner or later - so do it right the first time. Neat is OK, but it more important to be simple and quality/reliable.

so, I can kind of accept that a mistake could be made and they could be bolted on the wrong side. However it is impossible that they would not notice that when they went to bleed them. Something dodgy there.

jeebus go easy I'm not even 50 yet!

Indeed they are harness mounts, for the lap points. Good location really, between them and the shoulder straps mounted to the cage between the rear strut towers you are held firmly back and down into the seat. 2 more points under the seat for the 5th and 6th belts

omg...better catch it then! HAHAHAHAHAH AHA HAH HAh Ah a HA HAHAHAH HAH AH ah ah ha h AH aHHAHAHA A

dirty ricer I couldn't stay around and wait for you, it was Stagea weather Funnily enough also spotted MADGTR on the bridge but in his CRAPPYTERRIROTY so it doesn't count I guess

+1, genuine race cars built to rules are funny things. Sounds fan-bloody-tastic. Anyway....it's more stagea weather today, I need to hit the highway and terrorise some camrys.

Hi Brad....to be clear, I was not questioning the authenticity of the car, just pointing out the blue plate on the left is on every GTR. There was a discussion around the other blue plate above the motor and what it covers (not the nissan build plate you have posted up either). What is on the other blue plate above the motor? I don't remember having seen one of those before

Neil said flange, and bush, in the same sentence the other day!

copy of evidence, thanks and the person I mentioned is bound to be one of the ones you know But enough off topic for this thread I think.

closer pics of that plate above the engine are required. the one on the left is the standard japanese build plate on every GTR I've seen

I walked into Shaun's silver c34 in the city today. Ouch.

I spotted MARRSSSSS today on the bridge!

Junk eh? done a lot of testing yourself or are you just repeating stuff you see on the internet? I've had no problems with the 3 kits i've bought, and I've only ever seen 1 person who had a problem with the provided brake lines.

Of course they are, pretty much any car in a serious global market like that is for sale. In fact the calsonic R32 almost ended up in Oz a few years back, in the end only price was an issue.

you're a funny guy. Jenna may be A+++....but your racing career is over.

they are certainly not operating as Powerplay Imports. And the shop is long gone
