very nice indeed! some great moves there. It must have been reverse grid, or some quali problems because he seemed much better than the guys in front, but none the less there were some awesome passes in there. I liked the round the outside of the black one, but it's hard to pick a standout.

ok.. thats just suicide!

I go to uni at bathurst.. (all of 200m away from corner 1 of the track).. and these things are FREAKING LOUD!

After driving many times around the mountain.. (and even chasing an Eleise funnely enough) around the mountain.. Videos do not do some of the corners, climbs/decents justice.. the corner just before conrod.. is absolutely BALL BREAKING! .. clearly.. cos the driver lost his ..

not lacking power going up the hill, he just got a poor exit from the first corner because he went so late under brakes....not that it caused him much trouble for the rest of the lap lol.

Dean is a good driver but unlike the rest of them had raced at Bathrust before - need to remember most of those guys were first timers in their own cars - he was experienced and in a borrowed car ;)

no same name different guy - this dean evens is the editor of motor mag and has done a fair bit of racing...I met the other DE at Targa not the same bloke.

Dan...re your question.....the answer is they don't not hit each other. Side on/full body hits don't do much damage or unsettle the car too much, its when you hit one quarter panel it all goes bad....

I'd say it might be easier on the panel beaters if they were all the same colour :unsure: there must be a lot of paint swapping going on. Looks like fun tho, would someone lend me a car?

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????

      Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
