My father told me just recently about a corporate weekend he was running. His boss asked him if he would like to go for a drive after the days workshops etc. He said sure, as the guy is his boss, and they proceeded to climb in his MY01 rex. As my father retold the story, I could hear the fear in his voice. :P He said he nearly needed to clean himself. The guy took him on some weird backroads. He said at one point he looked over, and the speedo was reading about 170. Moral of the story? drive quick enough to remind yourself you are alive.

I like that moral. I've only ever been past 170 twice, as I've never been on a track, and I tell you it's f*****g scary on a Sydney road. I clocked my car, heading southbound from the domestic airport and I never knew how bumpy this road was until then. It's a fairly new road but going that fast you tend to feel more of its flaws. Don't think I'll be doing that again. :mrgreen:

Where in Europe? Were you born there? How do the roads compare to Sydney ones?

I'm from Europe too but I was too young to remember most things. My dad used to tell me stories of when he used to go to Germany. Those autobahns sound cool. You're doing 180 and the steering wheel is starting to shake and all of a sudden whoooosh. A BMW just passes you with no effort at all.

    • your right the maps for Australia came out in 2017 but are 2010 maps. i got the updated maps SD card put it in and it was the same. Same maps in my Brothers Nissan Patrol. 2020 i think his car is
    • Yeahhhh, the costs have killed me. Spent more than the cost of an engine rebuild and it most mostly servicing and a tune lol.
    • I'm not 100% how the BMW racers do it, but I know from other brands like Merc, moving, and changing the coolers is one of the things. Like getting a transcooler out from infront of the radiator to out near a wheel arch. So some of the stuff you've got crammed in the middle front, spread it out and open up where you can in the bar to get more air in to the sides.
    • Small update for the day... Turns out the intercooler and engine coolant hose kits are anything but complete....I probably should have counted better but it only really covers about half the coolant hoses in the car, it really just covers the visible stuff and pretends everything else doesn't exist (turbo water feed and returns and also heat exchanger lines through the 2 pumps and cooler) .In any case, I'm happier to have half reliable hoses than none, but a bit of a disappointment. Anyway...finger click (and 5 hours).....hoses in place, lots of spring clamps replaced with screw clamps, and engine coolant is on the pressure tester for the night.   Incidentally, upsized header tank is an Inifiniti factory option....not sure I'll ever do prod car racing in this but at least it is legal.
