Hey Andrew you didn't happen to get the name of the F40 driver did you?

I may know of one that will be doing some circuit racing next year. Those Pantera's look awesome i would kill to have one of them beasts.

Oitty the cruise is on tommorow night i would love to go down to the street party.

Any one know what roads they are running on saturday?

Whoah missed this thread before, nice pics Andrew! Holy shit what I wouldn't do for a DB9!!!

Whats the regulations for this thing anyway? I was wondering why more imports didn't enter it... Restrictions? I'm guessing entry is pricey considering all the sponsorship decals.

No worries for the pics guys - glad you like them .... it is an absolutely massive job to take that many photos, then rename them, then compress them, then upload them - but I appreciate it when others go to the trouble :P

Stay tuned for pics of my trip to the Singapore Motor Show last week (when I get them sorted out) .... have lots of video too which I am going to encode with DivX and make available!

Bass, unfortunately the R34 wasn't in the prologue for some reason - we were all looking out for it but never saw it. I had walked among the cars earlier in the day, then watched most of the cars do their runs, yet didn't see it, so I assume he wasn't there :P

I am sure someone will get pics of the hills stages and post them up.

Great pics!

I heard about this event only a couple of days ago, I would have loved to have gone down! Sigh, maybe next year.

What other similar events like this are coming up around Aus? Isn't the East coast targs in Sydney coming up soon?

Once again thanks for the pics!

Just for future reference IRFANVIEW is a free download and does batch resizing, so you can resize them all in a few clicks.

Or Microsoft Power Toys Image Resizer... free for XP users.

You just highlight the ones you want right click -> resize :)

    • Did you get any down time over Christmas, or have you had any since to play with this? Or have you given up and are trying to get yourself a second hand V8SC instead?
    • A random thought I had just before I hit "Submit on this post". If brake fluid, in a container in my garage that has never been opened goes bad after 18 months, why can I leave it in my car for 24 months in an "unsealed container"... Secondly, some other digging, and brake fluid manufacturers seem to be saying 5 year shelf life... Me thinks there line on 18 months for an unsealed bottle is pretty much horse shit marketing spin. Kind of like how if you drive a car and don't run a turbo timer your turbo and motor will die horribly...   Where I started on this though... Someone (me) started down a bit of a rabbit hole, I don't quite have the proper equipment to do Equilibrium Reflux boiling per the proper test standards. I did a little digging on YouTube, and this was the first video I found on someone attempting to "just boil it". This video isn't overly scientific, as we don't have a known reference for his test either. Inaccuracy in his equipment could have him reaching the 460 to 470f boiling point range in reality. In the video, using a laser temp gun, he claims his Dot3 that's been open in his florida garage for over a year gets to about 420 to 430 fahrenheit (215 to 221c) Doing some googling, I located an MSDS for that specific oil, and from new, it claims a dry boiling point of 460 to 470f. Unfortunately they don't list a wet boiling point for us to see how far it degraded toward its "wet" point. While watching it I was thinking "I wonder what the flash point is..." turns out its only 480f for that specific brake fluid....   As for testing the oil's resistance, I might not be able to accurately do that unfortunately. Resistance level will be quite a LOT higher than my system can read I suspect based on some research. However, I might be able to do it by measuring the current when I apply a specific voltage. I won't have an actual water % value, but I'll have some values I can compare between the multitude of fluids. I'll run some vague calculations later and see if I should be able to read any reliable amount of current. These calcs will be based on some values I've found for other oils, and see how close I'll need my terminals together. From memory I can get down to 1pA accuracy on the DMM. I don't think my IOT Power Tester has any better resolution.    
    • No, with a twin plate clutch flywheels and clutch pressure plate/friction disks go together. Only clutch where that isn't the case is the Uniclutch but they currently don't make a pull version for the Getrag R34, just some other cars. Personally the flywheel is as light as I'd want it to be. It already drops revs faster than I want to shift normally and I blip the throttle again to rev match on upshifts.
    • Are there any other lighter flywheels that can be used with nismo coppermix twinplate system? Id like to gave the revs pick up faster than oem
    • RB20/25 covers don’t have threaded fasteners stock like RB26 covers. They are blind rivets so I will need to drill out and tap threads. I bought some M4x6mm button heads and will report back once done if I chose correctly length wise.    have also got some loctite
