Duncan

they use the same pad as the AP 6 piston calipers - which means almost every good quality pad is available in a range of compounds

which is 317 awkw for those who have got around to going metric since the 60s

some toyota engine? camry maybe?

I am not familiar with the FIA rules, but CAMS rules specifically prohibit bunching up the field prior to the restart. As we saw today it is extremely dangerous, with cars 4 wide into a corner when they are meant to be single file according to the rules.

yeah no engine check light on 32 series so it uses the cat temp light

that's ok terry - Tsukada-san doesn't understand what we say either lots of hand waving required.

I totally agree....a modern professional series cannot let people win after breaking the rules.

that is mostly because webber is a hack.

Webber had a great drive - only lost 7 spots this race. Chin up, tiger!

the full race licenses require observed driving tests and medicals, but L2S is intended as a beginner's license and does not include those requirements. It restricts the events you can enter until you obtain the higher licenses

btw you are dead right about this....270-275 from the top 6l v8s on vp102. makes it all the funnier that i can keep up in a stright line with 40kw less

yeah agreed - safety should be a priority and that was silly. also....if I tried that trick that Button just did I would be given a drive thru 100% certain. Rules are very clear that it is not legal to deliberatly buch the field at a restart

where are you, and do you have a pic?

That misleading at best. The CAMS rules clearly and unambiguously exclude active aero. And because this is in Schedule F it applies to all CAMS events from super sprints to super lap to super cars. LSX-438 did exactly the right thing by asking for advice from a member of the organising committee of the series he is competing in. However the advice was wrong as confirmed by the CAMS national technical officer. In my experience, because he asked for advice and received it, he will not be disadvantaged/disqualified from past rounds because he asked first. Anyone wanting independent confirmation of the rules on active aero should contact the CAMS national techincal officer [email protected] Of course if people buying these wings are doing so understanding they are only legal for AASA/Irace/Private days etc then that is fine. It is obviously an effective product as shown by Duncan and others elsewhere.

good DIY! and r32 is the same.

one other thing.....no need to do it up so tight when it goes back in! They are a tapered fitting but still.... We do them up to a "reasonable" tightness and then use lock wire to make sure they are not going to come undone unexpectedly on the race car. We have never seen evidence that they are coming undone when they are only tight (as opposed to VFT which they all seem to be when we get them!)

wow...this thread is still going strong.... but we are all still ignoring the fact they are banned from all cams events under schedule F as confirmed recently by the cams national technical officer. I've got no doubts that dynamic aero can make great difference, and I have no doubt that is why they were banned. as if no-one has thought about the idea since the 70s when F1 first ran this stuff. Sports sedans explore absolutely every angle of the rules and spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on the development of each car, do you think they might have given this a go if they could?

late....but same. I could not find aftermarket (ie reasonably priced) front outer ends. inner end is available and it is most likely to wear (big nylon bush) aftermarket rear tie rod ends are available, both inner and outer end

hmm...about $85k for race rally import from japan for a 3 year old car. nissan aus are doing OK for themselves adding $100k for a new one. nothing like a monopoly for keeping prices up....and interesting to note that the prices went up when the yen rose , but did not go down when the yen fell and import duty reduced.

all new blocks from nissan come with no engine number. the workshop is expected to stamp the old number with an "X" on the end on the new block. Or anything else you feel like really

sorry yes, 32 gtr. I wasn't aware 34 gtr are different!

whatsgoingonnoel....you down here? when are you where???

got pics??

great to hear it came out OK! I think letting some wd40 soak in for a while helps too

yeah these things can suck hard to undo if they have been in for a while. you need to get a long breaker bar onto it, but it is essential that you have it exactly 90o to the plug otherwise it will round off. If you need to use an extension to do that keep it as short as possible. you may then need a long extension to the breaker bar to get enough leverage....but if you are doing this on the ground/stands there is often not space. Sometimes on tough bolts you can heat them with a gas torch which helps loosen them, but not a good idea with a filler plug. but frankly....it might just be easiest to take it to a shop and get them to do it on the hoist, you can spend more breaking and fixing stuff than it would cost for someone with the right tools to undo it....
