Guys do you know nothing of the all mighty at the famous mountain.

The fans were booing because the race was rained out and many cars crashed at the top of the mountain leading onto conrod straight, the gtr being one, so the officials went the the last lap before it was flash flooding being 2 laps prior when the (Gentleman Jim Richards and Mark Skaife) GTR was in the lead so they handed the honour to them. So the moron Holden wankers booed, and Jim wasnt impressed with the quote "Pack of arsholes".

By the way I didnt downlaod the link. Just assuming the race you guys are talking about.

The GTR was and still is the king of the mountain, The lap record still being in the possesion of Mark Skaife in the r32gtr.

I just wish I was old enough when the GTR's were racing. I was 8-9... :P

hmmm...when I must have been 6 or maybe a bit older.. maybe younger.. I remember for christmas I got the bathurst slot car set. Only when I started getting into skylines (about 15 years old ) did it dawn on me that I had those little beasts all along haha.. It came with the r32 brock GTR and another GTR no idea who drives it though.. In my stupidity I coloured in the brock one black.. :thumbsup: Might have to wip out the metho sometime soon hehe.. It's good fun though setting up the old slot car track and hittin the mountain with the GTR's all the power in my hand haha

You assumed wrong. This is the 91 Bathurst where the GTR was the first car to cross the line no ifs no buts in a record time of 6hrs 19 min. The crowd was booing because they are ghey and did not like the fact that the GTR won. The pack of assholes was 92....the GTR also ran at the mountain in 1990 but broke down when in the lead :O

And it is the race record not the lap record that is held by the GTR

The 91 GTR ran a 2m 12s lap to get pole

Lowndes ran a 2m 8.59 lap for pole last year

The 91 GTR would not have been in the top 10 shoot out last year. The main reason it holds the race record is that the rules regarding yellow flags have changed and the safety car has been introduced since that time...all of wich means the GTR will probably hold the race record for a long time to come

So there you have it kids, it appears that the oracle of all things on "the all mighty at the famous mountain" could stand to learn a little :D

i am no authority on aus racing GTRs but i'm pretty sure brock never raced in one. I think you may have yourself a brock commodore... now painted black.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing! He did drive a seirra in 1990 though after the fallout with HDT over the infamous brock polariser!!! So maybe that is what was part of the set?? I could look kind of like a GTR....maybe :

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
