The GTR of Richard Lyons and Masami Kageyama led home Benoit Treluyer and Yuji Ide for a One,,Two finish at Fuji. We beat the Supra's. The Supra of Tachikawa lead from pole and into the 1st pitstop but the Gtr of Lyons mowed him down,,,the Supra not able to keep the pace and hit a guard rail. 3rd place went to Domanik Schwager and Manabu Orido in a Supra,,but a hard charging Micharl Krumm almost made it a Trifecta.

Juichi Wakisaka and Akira Iida who won the 1st Round in their Supra,but only managed 30th at Fuji. there race was lost after 2 laps when they suffered steering problems and finally finished 30th.

So that means Nissan are leading after 2 rounds.

i dun think australia has these races. i have been to a race in sepang...that was back in 1990's hahahaha.

at that time they had the unisia jecs 33, the calsonic 33, but my reason for going.....the TAKATA NSX!!!!

if i remember correctly, the car was rated louder than a plane taking off. man that thing made some serious noise....

had a chance to stroll through the pits...u'd be forgiven for thinking u're in heaven.

      Does that price include the rack time to straighten the frame and body and replacement of parts and paint, as well as the noise and emmisions testing  The last engineering certificate I had done, albeit about 15 years ago, was around $1000 for a few inspections and the certificate

      Geez, engineers fees have definitely gone up. Mine back 2007 cost me all of $300. Mind you, I had to go back to him a few times to get him to write the correct things on the report after he'd inspected it. Things like wrong exhaust size, wrong wheel sizes, etc etc.

      Can we see a scan of the original quote? The problem with engineers (and by this, I mean, all engineers across all engineering industries) is that there are "engineers" and there are "engineers" (you'll have to imagine the two different vocal emphases on those two versions of the same word. Engineering is a mindset - your farm kid who spent his life rebuilding the tractor will likely make a good engineer. The farm kid who spent his life taking photos of butterflies.. perhaps not. But on top of that mindset, the modern engineer has to learn how to write so that there is absolutely no way of being misunderstood. Proposals/budget estimates/quotations are one place where this is absolutely vital. You have to delineate your scope of supply with extremely hard boundaries, and anywhere where there is any possibility of not being able to have such a hard boundary, you need to write language that will cover you from scope creep, cost overruns, the inevitable interference of the client or their "engineer", etc etc. Now, if your clients are the BHPs and the Rio Tintos of the world, and similar, then you get good at this. If you are an automotive engineer, pitching work to the great unwashed masses, your skills in this area might not be well developed, because you're only dealing with knuckle draggers trying to get a big block legal in a Torana. And when I say "might not"....I'd suggest there's a better than even chance that any such skills might be completely absent. So, we might be able to look at your quote and see what the opportunities are for rebuttal.
