to be honest turn 1 scares the shit out of me.

And I think you'd already left by the time XCUZME had his little excursion.....

Was starting to get turn 2 down better after some good advice from Scathing.

Good to hear. I still can't get the Turns 2-3 complex correct consistently, but I know where I should be even if I can't make it stick.

yeah that wasn't fun. I was right behind him.... well not directly, but I was directly behind the soarer on the racingline and he went the inside to overtake him, a little too fast.. felt like it all happened in slow motion. My hands wouldn't stop shaking ... and was hell nervey first session back out there.

He must be feeling a little sore today!!!

Great time! I thought you said you were running around 2 mins! You must have pulled out a blinder for that lap....

nah.. 2.03 .. I wanted to get under 2mins... but it wasn't going to happen. Bit disappointed!!! But next time hey!

but far out, I am sick of all the drivers thinking they are shit hot and being too stubborn to let a faster car through! The amount of times I had caught up to a car by turn 2.... not being waved past and having him fang it down the straight only for me to catch him again come the first corner... it's a f**king joke.

I'm certainly not the fastest driver so when i see a car coming through in the rear view.. i automatically stick my hand out the window and wave him past so I don't disrupt his lap as much.

Anyone else missing a few sessions of timing??? It looks like I've got some missing.

Was someone else driving your car or using your transponder? Your time on Natsoft is 1:52.

Yeah, I had a massive rant about it after the Wakefield CC...for which I got told off about. The A group is generally quite courteous. Aside from the cock in the turbo S2000, who has a reputation for it, to my knowledge everyone else in my session was waving faster traffic through. But when I drove in the B group at Wakefield, I had a couple of guys not wave me past, and in fact I had an Evo baulking me when I had a look up his inside to engage him in a braking duel.

I promised Narada I'd do a "track courtesy" article, which I haven't completed yet. I'll try finishing it off this weekend so he can print it in The Circuit and maybe up on the site.

that's a top idea!!! I hope the yellow s15, the black integra, the white integra and the black soarer read it! I don't think i got one clear lap in because of all the traffic... maybe I'm just too nice and should try and nudge my way infront anyway.

Yeah liz, what gives? You're 12 in the natsoft listing :) did you cut across the in field at some point :thumbsup:

Nice times btw guys.

don't get too excited, I still can't drive lol.

I shared my transponder with Andrew was they didn't have enough to go around.

I thought it might have been Andrew, perhaps in your car. :thumbsup:

      It's the adhesive holding the ceramic wheel to the shaft the fails on 90% of them.

      Foreign debris, physical shock, boost leak, could be anything honestly. The danger in taking all the timing out of a tune/hitting the R&R corner is that even if the engine doesn't detonate your turbo is taking a lot of abuse from high EGT. Also, even if nothing goes wrong it is a journal bearing that is spinning at 100k RPM on boost. Eventually it goes through enough cold start/pressure cycles to wear it out.

      Possible option to replace central computer 370 V36

      By Vee37 · Posted

      I kinda accidentally saw this, and was interested, but It actually seems to replaces the whole center computer, using the existing screen and buttons. AND it may only be for a G37 and not compatible with a Japanese 370. So its not for me, but someone else may be interested to look into it. Its about $680USD. If I am understanding it right, it basically replaces/installs and android pc that integrates with the existing screen. But I could be wrong. https://gromaudio.com/vline/ The video I first saw was the following, with very little and unclear details.     Even if your not interested in the system, the video on their site was pretty comforting in showing how simple the whole centre comes out

      Import insurance in 2025

      By CRSKmD · Posted

      I’m with Shannon’s for all 5 of our cars. Agreed values seem fair, premium price is okay. ($210 ish a month, all comprehensive).  Have claimed once with them for a not at fault claim with another car where my car had no damage. Was one call after the incident and an email after. Deemed not at fault so premium didn’t go up either.    I have called up and spoken with people who are not familiar with certain cars and didn’t agree with me on value or let their personal vehicle preferences effect the call. But called back later and got someone else who was more agreeable.
