Hey fox, did the shot turn out that you took with the blood up the side of my car?

sure did.... :P

i was actually a little dissapointed with a 1'13.1.... i was quicker than the Evo's through the 1st half of the lap, but lost all my time exiting the bottom hairpin, because of my unhealthy diff, i cant get any traction through the sweeping left hander. i reckon i could drop into the 1'11's once i get my new diff. unfortunately, it wont be in time for the 8th of nov :)

Hehehe :) That photo of me mooning Luke is gold! :)

I thuoght the glare from my pastey white ass would blind him coming into turn one!

To my dismay, Luke is to good a driver to be put off by the passions of the flesh, Hehehe :)

My brakes are still stuffed, i drove my car for the first time yesterday and the pedal is still really squishy. Does this mean my brake lines have cooled while expanded and have just stayed expanded causing there to be a lack of pressure?

Leigh have you been sent that CD with the photos yet? I owe you $33!

I would say there is moisture in your lines. Do a full brake system bleed and then see how it is. I did mine before the track day and they are still feeling good :thumbsup: It's easy to do just time consuming.

Oh yea i forgot about that sweet more mullah >_< (actually if you are going to get some of them blown up we will sort something out). I just called the Oz Events and the lady said it normally takes around two weeks (god knows why doesnt she just have to dump the photos on a disk ???) However she said she is swamped at the moment and it might take another half a week on that... sooooooo looks like another 7 - 11 days before i get it. However as soon as i do i will let you and Luke know :happy:

Well our cd came in (Luke and Steve) although I think Steve and I got stooged a bit although I guess Luke did have his car on the track a lot more than us. Anyways either I can meet up with you at some stage and give it to you then or pm me or we can arrange something. Luke if you still work where I think you do i should be able to drop it up to you as I will be there on Thursday or Friday.

Anyways here are a couple I saved the rabbit one for Steve if he wants to put it up he can.

Pic 1 - Yup that’s me... Can you feel the body roll mmm :)

Pic 2 - That Luke with me as a passenger :huh:

Pic 3 - That’s Steve... oh and who’s that in the background its me :)

Just got back from the SAU NSW v SAU Vic day... here is a quick little video of Frink getting owned by a 32 GTR. In all fairness he was owning pretty much everything out there including many EVO's, GTR's, GTS-T's etc i would say from the street class he would have probably been the 3rd or 4th fastest, the quickest were 32 gtr's that were on roids lol

      I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps

      Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks

      small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛

      Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
